Ken E November 14, 2011 for Model Number GSD3460Gooss Hi, My dishwasher does not completly drain after cycle is complete. I can hear water flowing out the discharge during other times of the cycle and i have checked and cleaned all the screens from the inside of the tub.I have checked for the typical clogs in the discharge hose. Iam thinking possibly the AP2617344 Valve??...I appreciate your guidance
1 Answer Ken, You're right on target, The piston / nut assembly can and does interfere with an adequate drain. Order and repalce the assembly, and you should be fine from there on out. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Bill Collins September 19, 2011 for Model Number WPSR3100woww I have a GE washer that washes well but it does not spin. What might be the problem? thanks
1 Answer Bill, First check and make sure there are no small articles stuck at the top or between the tubs, Then, remove the front panel and check the belt and clutch assembly on the motor for excess wear and age. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Tom July 19, 2011 for Model Number GSD5500G03WW How do you remove the body valve & check from the tub?
1 Answer Tom, Here's some information that should help you out " A common problem with these units is the piston and nut (Item 564 in Section 2). It is behind the rear filter assembly in the tub. It unscrews. Remove it and check that it is sealing. What happens if it does not seal correctly is that during drain some of the water goes back into the tub instead of out the drain.

Tom July 19, 2011 for Model Number GSD5500G03WW I'm also having incomplete drain problems. I ordered and just received the body valve & check assy as well as the piston & nut and new pump. I need details on how to replace the piston & nut assy. Do I need to remove the body valve & check assy from the bottom of the tub? I've removed two screws but it doesn't break free!
1 Answer Hi Tom. I believe that the piston assembly unscrews and seperates. Yes I would reccomend removing the body valve from the tub assembly. Thank you. Read More...
Dave June 24, 2011 for Model Number GE MOD. GSD3600G00 Does the Piston and drain nut unscrew from the top? I removed the 4 screws from the bottom, but it does not seem to pull out from the bottom. There appears to be a spanner nut on the top, but it dosent seem to unscrew.
1 Answer Hi Dave. Yes It appears that the piston and nut assembly unscrew from the check valve body. This part # isWD24X10018.Hope this helps. Thanks. Read More...
Dave May 11, 2011 for Model Number GSD3620F00BB I am chasing a faulty draining problem and this check valve part on my machine drops down when I press on it, but doesn't spring back, which I assume is supposed to happen since there is a spring in the assembly. What effect would this issue have on my slow drain rate problem?
1 Answer Hello Dave! You will need to replace the piston and nut assembly WD24X10018 as it should spring back up. This could cause the unit from drain properly as it should. Also check the drain hoses and drain pump to make sure nothing has clogged up. Hope this helps! Read More...
Scott March 28, 2011 for Model Number GSD4030Z02WW Debris is building up behind the filter screen. Wondering if the Piston & nut needs replacing or something else? Which side of the filter screen is the debris supposed to be trapped the inside or the outside??
1 Answer Scott, If I understand you correctly,the debris should be on the white plastic screen on the chopper and nut side of the "filter", when you remove the sump cover and filter in the interior of the washtub bottom. There should be little to no debris on the other side of the plastic filter screen in the sump area. Hope this is helpful, Good Luck. Read More...
