Marty February 10, 2015 for Model Number hda3400g02ww This will be the third drain solenoid I have replaced in 2 years. Each time the solenoid appeared to be melted and froze the plunger preventing the dishwasher from emptying and it overflows onto the floor. What could be causing the solenoid to melt?
1 Answer Hello Marty. The timer WD21X33639 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Tmd November 17, 2014 for Model Number 36314232100 Our dishwasher wasn't draining and was leaking from what looked like the solenoid. By cleaning out the dishwasher, I was able to fix the drain problem, but the leak is still happening. It only leaks when the solenoid is engaged and I'm assuming working to drain the tub. I replaced the solenoid to see if this would fix the problem, but it's still leaking. After watching it more closely, it looks like it's leaking from the drain shaft. Is it possible to fix/replace this without replacing the entire pump? Thanks!!
1 Answer TMD, Unfortunately where the shaft goes into the housing, there would be a seal here that is not available as a separate part. This would require a pump replacement. Read More...
Eml June 30, 2014 for Model Number GE Dishwasher I have a GE dishwasher that's probably 10 - 12 years old. It started to leak from the bottom. I noticed the leak is coming from the solenoid. Would this indicate a bad solenoid or a bad pump/motor assembly? Thanks, EML
1 Answer Hello EML. If the water is coming from the solenoid, it is a bad solenoid on the unit. Read More...

Dan August 04, 2013 for Model Number GSD4200J00BB GE dishwasher Dishwasher will not drain. I checked drain hose, it isn't clogged. Do I need to replace drain solenoid?
1 Answer Dan, You will want to check to make sure that the drain solenoid is getting 120 vac when calling for drain and make sure that it is activating. If not then the drain solenoid would need to be replaced. Read More...
Bret August 03, 2013 for Model Number GSD2200Z04WH I've installed the inlet water valve, but no change in operation. I noticed some leaking/corrosion on the solenoid. Could this be causing the machine to not wash and rinse properly? The soap in the door gets dispensed, but no washing/rinsing seems to take place. Will replacing the solenoid assembly fix the problem?
1 Answer Hello Bret. Yes, if the unit is leaking, then it can cause the water level to drop and not clean properly. It sounds like you will need to replace the solenoid assembly WD21X10060. Read More...
Bret July 23, 2013 for Model Number GSD2200Z04WH While the dishwasher was running, the power shut off during a storm. Since then, the washer does not seem to wash/rinse. After the cycle ends, there is a little water/soap mixture (1/4 in deep) left in the cabinet and soap on the inside of the door. The motor runs fine. It sounds like water is splashing around during the wash, but I don't hear water during the rinse. I checked and cleaned the float. What should I check next? How can I tell if the water valve is bad?
1 Answer Hello Bret. See if the water is filling to the bottom of the heater. If not, it sounds like the valve WD15X93 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
James July 23, 2013 for Model Number GSD2030Z04WW When the diswasher start to drain I can see water coming out of the drain value solenoid. Will replacing the solenoid stop the leak?

Eugene C July 15, 2013 for Model Number asd2326heq My fridge compartment is not cooling. The freezer is working properly and the temp is 22 degrees with the control set at 5 (7 being the coldest) at the onset of the problem my fridge temp went up to 62 degrees with the control set at 5. I turned the fridge control off for several hours and turned it back on and set it at 7 (the coldest setting) The freezer has continued to operate at normal temp. The fridge section has maintaint a temp at 40 degrees for about a week with the setting at 7. It has now stopped cooling and the temp in the fridge has again reise to above 60 degrees, I turned it off again to see if it made a difference this time. It has not. Freezer operating normally, fridge not cooling at all. What parts do you recommend to correct this problem. Thank you for your help with this problem.
1 Answer Eugene, It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
