Harry J November 17, 2016 for Model Number GSD5330D00WW I ordered (#7083529) and replaced shaft seal and push-on nut on dishwasher this past weekend. Before repair, the drain valve at solenoid was leaking quite a bit when the solenoid engaged and the water started draining. It did stop after a few moments. After the repair, the drain valve is leaking a very small amount from time to time during the wash cycle and rinse cycle. I don't think it leaks when the solenoid engages. I wet the seal as suggested in video. I made sure the push-on nut was in the proper place around the shaft when I did the repair. I was not sure of how far to push the seal into the hole/shaft. Could I have not pushed it deep enough. What have I done wrong? And what do I do next? I have posted my info re the repair. All positive.
1 Answer Harry, This issue sounds like it would be caused by the seal where the drain solenoid shaft would go into the housing of the pump. It is possible for there to be a small crack or leak around that seal. It may be necessary to replace the housing of the pump which is part number WD19X10021. Read More...
Brandon August 26, 2014 for Model Number GSD2220Z05BB I have a leak coming from the Valve Shaft Seal. I'm planning to replace the Seal and Push-on Nut (WD8X181 / WR2X7054). Was curious if its good to coat the seal with silicone grease before putting in place? or better to just wet with water. Thanks
Johnny April 22, 2014 for Model Number GSD3330C04WW I just got done changing the shaft seal and push on nut. When changing the shaft pulled out is this common I also noticed that the dishwasher is not draining completely can I or a new shaft or I guess a flapper?
1 Answer Hello Johnny. No, if the shaft pulled out, you will need to replace the housing WD19X10020 on the unit. Read More...
Jonathan January 17, 2014 for Model Number gsd4120y70bb I have a small drip at the bottom of the drain solenoid when it drains. I am wondering if all I need to is change the push on nut and the shaft seal?
1 Answer Hello Jonathan. Yes, you will need to order and replace the shaft seal and push nut on the unit. Read More...
Digger June 14, 2013 for Model Number GSD880Y-73WW By what means or tool does the push on nut and seal get removed?
1 Answer Digger, You would need to get the push on nut off with a pair of needle nose pliers. Read More...
Ray February 20, 2013 for Model Number GSD4114Z02AA Water leaks from a tiny screw on the solenoid mounting bracket. I purchased AP2038837 and I need to know how to replace this part, in details.

Carol February 07, 2013 for Model Number GSD5130d00ww I took pieces off to replace the seal (417). I put the new seal in and a new push nut on. Now I can't figure out how to put the pieces back on. The pieces I need to put back on are in the Pump Drain Valve Kit picture (418). I assume that the wire on the Armature & Linkage (426) attaches to something.
1 Answer Hello Carol, The solenoid rod will go into the solenoid, the white plastic flat wide part will have the rod lever through it abd wukk attach to the bracket. There will be a spring through the small hole on it that connects to the bottom of the bracket. Read More...
Steve January 25, 2013 for Model Number GSD3660G00ss I need to replace parts # 415 and 417 on the pump can you let me know how to go about this? thanks Steve
1 Answer Hello Steve, We do not have information on how to install the parts on the pump. The push nut would have to be pulled off and then seal. Once off replace new. You may need to remove the solenoid to get to the parts to replace. Read More...
Merelyn S. November 17, 2012 for Model Number Gsc3200j01ww What is a solenoid valve and does it control water coming into the dishwasher?
1 Answer Hello Merelyn, A solenoid is another name for a coil of wiring used as an electromagnet. The electromagnetic field is used to pull an iron core up into the coil. In the case of a water valve, this force is strong enough to overcome the water pressure and internally open the valve, allowing the water pressure to pass through the valve into the appliance. When the water level is sufficient to satisfy the pressure switch, a set of contacts open which dis-continues the voltage to the coil and the water pressure pushes the water valve closed. The water inlet valve WD10M10 on a dishwasher is behind the kick panel, mounted to the bottom frame of the unit. The first thing you need to do to change it is to turn off the breaker to the dishwasher. The second thing is to verify that the correct breaker has been turned off to prevent electrical shock. The third thing you need to do is turn the water supply to the dishwasher off. This is usually a shut-off valve found under the sink at the hot water supply line to the sink. If the unit was installed properly, the dishwasher will have a separate shut-off from that of the sink. Now you can proceed to remove the kick panel. The water line should be removed from the water valve first since the water line is going to be on the valve tight. If you remove the water valve from the frame of the dishwasher first, it will be too hard to break the water line loose from the valve. Once the water line is off, remove the screws securing the part to the dishwasher frame. Now you can unplug the electrical wire connector and using a pair of needle nosed pliers, remove the water outlet line from the back of the valve. The installation of the new valve is the reverse of the removal instructions. The only difference is that you need to turn the water pressure back on to the valve before re-installing the kick panel. This way you can check for any leaks that may be present. Once all leaks are corrected, reinstall the kick panel. One more note: Before changing the water valve, check the float switch inside the unit. If an item drops from the rack, it can get under the float and prevent the water valve from being energized.

Mec April 23, 2012 for Model Number GSD What is the actual O.D. of the shaft associated with the pump? Or more specifically, what is the inner diameter of the gasket associated with this?
1 Answer Hi Mec. Sorry the manufacturer does not give us this information about the I.D and O.D of the seal part # WD8X181. Thank You. Read More...
