1 Answer Hello Patricia. The first thing you will want to check is the float assembly WD12X10047, make sure nothing is stopping the float from moving up and down freely. Also make sure the switch WD12X10151 clicks when you press on it. If the last few steps clear, then more than likely you will have to replace the water valve WD15X10014. Thanks! Read More...
Kenneth U. May 12, 2014 for Model Number GSD6200J10BB The dishwasher over fills and water spills out when door is opened. I checked the float and it seems OK. Is it likely the fill valve does not shut off ? There must be a micro switch operated by the float, that might be bad.
1 Answer Kenneth, Yes there is a micro switch mounted under the float assembly it called a "flood switch" WD12X10151, It is possible for the switch to stick or fail, but rare. You'll need to remove the lower access panel and kick plate to access the bottom of the tub. It is more likely that the fill valve WD15X10003 is "sticking" and allowing more water into the tub after the flood switch opens and the control has removed power to the valve. Read More...
Kevin April 03, 2014 for Model Number GDWT160R00SS All of a sudden the dishwasher began to leak and it wasn't draining. I cleaned the sump screen and the sump itself. I cleaned the fine filter and it was dirty but not too bad. I found around the sump screen and in the sump pieces of a broken wine glass? I cleared all that out. I ran it again and it was draining fine. The problem I was then having was the pump was pumping water through the cleaning system but at low pressure? Could the glass have made its way to the pum and break the impeller? It's a newer washer and quite nice in my opinion? I checked the drain hose and it was clear. Please help.
1 Answer Kevin, If the circulation motor is coming on during the drain cycle then the issue would be caused by a faulty control board. Read More...
Wayne March 13, 2014 for Model Number GLD5600N10BB How do you know if the float (305) is good? The little ball top pin head only seems to have a up or down movement of about a 16th of an inch. That does not seem a lot, for a float, to me. Wayne
1 Answer Hello Wayne. If the float is properly engaging and disengaging the switch it is fine. If not, it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jason March 13, 2014 for Model Number Pdw7700500bb Ge profile won't drain all the way. I've checked drain at sink and hose but not at motor.
1 Answer Hello Jason. You need to check inside the sump assembly. If it is not clogged there, put the hose into a bucket and see if the drain pump is pumping enough to remove all the water in the tub. If there is power to the drain pump, and it does not pump fast enough, you will need to replace the pump. If it pumps a good stream, them the board may be turning it off to early. Keep in mind, no dishwasher will completely drain all the water. It is normal for some water to remain in the sump assembly. Read More...
