James S. August 31, 2017 for Model Number GDT550HSD0SS My dishwasher is not drying or cleaning properly. I have replaced the heating element and the control board and it's still not working. I am getting 16ohms through the element and 120v at the terminals. Any help is appreciated.
1 Answer James, The most likely cause for this issue will be a faulty thermal cutoff which will need to get the wire harness to replace this and would need part number WD49X23779. Read More...

I 1st check continuity on thee thermostat, OK. then i checked that the element was getting 120. my volt meter shows 120 in both the red/white and the red wire. I took the element out and run a test and the element heated plugged into an extension cord. if there is 120 and the the element if working off the unit. what is the problem??
1 Answer Fernando, Other than a issue with the element shorting out if the element is getting 120 vac then the element would be the issue. Read More...
Marcy May 02, 2017 for Model Number gdf570sgf7ww i had a plastic spoon fall from top tray and is now melted to the heating element,how do you take the element off to replace or what can i do to get it off thanks
1 Answer Hello Marcy. You should be able to scrape off the melted plastic. If not, then remove the heater nuts under the bottom of the unit and unplug the wires. Then lift the element out of the brackets and install new one in reverse order. Read More...
Rick February 09, 2017 for Model Number Ge monogram dishwasher My dishwasher isn't drying the dishes at the end of the cycle.When it worked I could open it and feel the heat.I have checked the heat element and it has continuity.All the wiring appears to be in good shape.When I run the heat self test the element heats up.Could a control board cause this thank you.
1 Answer Rick, With the units heat cycle working during self test mode but not during the cycle then this issue will most likely be caused by a faulty control board. Read More...
Charlie February 01, 2017 for Model Number PDW8200N00WW The dishwasher heater will not turn off. I unplugged the dishwasher to reset all controls but as soon as you plug in the dishwasher the heater comes on and will not turn off. Could this be control board problem.
1 Answer Hello Charlie. Yes, based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Scott May 22, 2016 for Model Number GDF540HGD0BB My heating element doesn't heat up and the dishes aren't getting cleaned or dried properly. I replaced the element and bypassed the High limit thermostat with no change. I ran the diagnostic test and got no errors and when I run the service test the element gets hot. Would the control board allow the element to heat up in test mode but not during the actual running of the machine (with heated dry, temp boost and steam mode) activated?
1 Answer Scott, Yes a fault in the control board would allow the unit to heat in diagnostics but not in the normal wash mode. The part number for the main control board is WD21X22276. Read More...
David January 16, 2016 for Model Number GLD4406R00WW My dishwasher was not drying dishes at the end of the washing cycle. I changed the heating element but still having the same issues. Any suggestion what to do next? thank you
1 Answer David, You will want to check the thermostat for the heater and make sure that it has continuity. If this checks ok then check the wiring between the control board and the heater. If the wiring is good then the control board will be the cause of the issue. Also make sure that you are using a rinse aid. Read More...
Arod October 10, 2015 for Model Number GLD5604V00BB I heard a loud popping sound and the breaker was thrown, did heating element short out?
1 Answer Arod, You will want to check the heating element to make sure that it is not bad. If this happened during the heating cycle then the heater could be a issue or the control board could be the issue. Read More...
Nick June 08, 2015 for Model Number ge profile PDW880J033SS Dishes are not drying. Never had to use jet dry before. Just changed the heating element, ran a speed cycle and dishes are still not drying. I felt the new heat element during the dry cycle and it was not hot. Water temp is not an issue. How do I check if HE is getting power? Do I need to run the dish washer to check for power? Do I need to wait for the dry cycle? If its a control module issue which one needs to be changed?
1 Answer Nick, If you look under the kickpanel of the dishwasher there should be a tech sheet. Put the unit into a diagnostic mode and set it to where it activates the heater. Then test at the control or at the heater for 120 vac. If there is not 120 vac then the control board is faulty. Read More...
Ralph January 15, 2015 for Model Number GLD4260M15SS Dishwasher is not drying in any cycle and dishes remain wet. If we stop and open the door at the end of the wash cycle, the water is only luke warm. Am I looking at replacing the heating element only, or something in addition?
1 Answer Ralph, You will want to check the heating element to make sure that it is getting 120 vac to it. If not then check wiring back to the controls and if the wiring checks ok then the control board would be the issue. If there is 120 vac getting to the element but the element is not working then replace the element. Read More...
