Questions & Answers

For Ge Dishwasher Circulation Pump And Motor Assembly (Part Number: OEM18118281)

Robert for Model Number GDT695SGJ5BB

It appears my circulation pump is not working. It fills and drains fine, but doesn't spray. I removed the pump and sump system and cleaned it out. I found a plastic piece from a broken utensil basket, twist tie, and a broken popsicle stick. When I reinstalled everything it appeared to be working fine at first, I could here it spraying, but that only lasted a few minutes and then it stopped spraying again. I was looking for a new circ pump, but item 310 on the diagram isn't on your website. Doing a search shows that the pump is WD26X23258, which you have in stock. But, when I use your compatibility tool, it says it is not compatible with my model dishwasher. Could you verify whether it is or is not the correct pump for me? Or if you think I'm wrong about the pump all together. Thanks!

1 Answer

Robert, if the circulation pump is receiving voltage but not circulating the water, it has failed and would need to be replaced. The circulation pump WD26X23258 would be used for the model number provided.

Janice for Model Number GDT635HMJ2ES

This dishwasher runs intermittently. When it's running, there is 120VAC going to the motor. It runs through all the cycles like it is supposed to. Rinse, drain, wash, drain, rinse, etc. But, in each cycle the motor will run for 5 to 10 seconds and then stop for up to 20 seconds and then start again. A series of clicks can be heard throughout this operation as well. The 120VAC is absent when not running. Also, it sounds like it's running without water in it. When I open it up, there is water in the bottom, just not enough, I don't think. We are on well water out here in the country so the inlet valve may have some sediment or sand in it blocking it. But would changing the inlet valve to get more water in it solve this problem? Or is this a bigger issue?

1 Answer

Janice, the water valve WD15X26140 would need to be tested for 13.5VDC during the initial fill of a cycle. If there is voltage for 1 minute but the water level is low, the failure would be in the water valve.

Michael for Model Number GTD695SFLDS

Soon after purchasing the unit , We noticed that the lower spray arm stopped working. The upper spray arm works perfectly. Removed the lower spray arm to make sure the diverterball is not Blocking water flow. Water flow is clear. Replaced the Lower spray arm to make sure it wasn't faulty. My question is If the circulating pump is bad Would the upper arm still work And the bottom arm fail to work.. I guess I'm wondering if there's enough pressure to spin the lower arm.

1 Answer

Michael, This unit has a diverter motor in it that may be faulty. The water should go to the lower arms first but also make sure that there is enough water fill in the unit. The part number for the diverter will be WD19X25278.

Dhedrick, The diverter valve is operated by the main control board and it will rotate around allowing the water to the upper and lower spray arms.

Harlan, You will want to check to make sure that the clamps on the wash pump is tight and make sure that any seals that should be there are in place properly.
