Chucky July 11, 2018 for Model Number GSD2100R20BB Thank you for answering my first question promptly. I failed to mention that the timer knob does move electrically without any manual assistance but my dishwasher still doesn't start. It continues to make sounds like it is trying to engage the motor or something. The sounds it makes is a thump along with some short humming and buzzing noises as it runs through the cycle but with no filling, washing or draining taking place. Today while I was turning the knob manually through the cycle I could hear water spraying inside so I know that it is getting water. It doesn't happen every time as it is the same thing with the washing and draining modes. It's a hit or miss kind of thing. My question is can it still be the timer that is giving me these problems even though the timer knob is moving electrically? None of the dishwasher functions are being executed as the timer knob is moving from start to finish. Thank you for all your help.
1 Answer Chucky, With the unit getting water to it but not washing then you will want to check the pump to make sure that the impeller is not damaged as this would be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
Chucky July 10, 2018 for Model Number GSD2100R20BB I have a GE manual timer dishwasher that won't start a cycle. For a while you would have to turn the dial manually to get it to start and drain. There would be times when it wouldn't drain before the drying cycle. I would have to turn the dial manually until it would "catch" the drain mode. For a week it would work like it should but now all it does is hum and make sounds like it wants to engage the motor, ect.. It definitely has it's moments. I am hoping that it is just the timer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Chucky, Based on the information the timer does sound like it would be cause of the problems you are having. The Timer part number is WD21X33644. Read More...
Nikolay April 01, 2014 for Model Number GSD2100R20WW Can a timer be a cause the dishwasher doesn't draining fully?
1 Answer Hello Nikolay. Yes, if the drain cycle is not working, it can be the timer. However, most of the time it is the pump or a clog. Read More...
