Fri, 15 Mar 2024 13:28:00 -0700

I have a GE model GFD570SGF2WW I replaced the heating element but it still is not heating up, do I need to reset the power to the heating element?

I also see it could be the thermostat, where is that located in my model?

GE dishwasher: Dishwasher drains out the water right after filling

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 23:18:00 -0700

Model GSD900G-01

The water supply is fine. But the water is pumped out what seems like simultaneously to filling. The DW calls for and gets water as it runs through the cycles, but it never gets to use it to wash or rinse.

Someone suggested an issue with the "drain solenoid"... stuck in the open position? Can this be checked and freed up, or tested for proper function? Or is the issue somewhere else possibly?

GE Dishwasher: Two issues: powers on when off, and, won't run when engaged

Hi, 2 issues. My GE dishwasher, DDT595SGJ5BB, had no power. I replaced control board and fixed that. But it lights up and beeps when off. Second issue. Won't run; beeps and light flashes. I replaced the door latch and it still emits the same signals.

GE Dishwasher: Broken Latch Assembly - Male End

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:42:03 -0700

The plastic piece on the Latch assembly broke off and the door does not lock now. It is the part at the top of the dishwasher base that holds the door closed when in operation. It is the male end of the locking mechanism. The metal is still there but the plastic piece broke. How can I replace this? Will the whole dishwasher need to come apart?

It is a GE Triton XL (GSD6200G00WW)

GE Dishwasher: Dirty water left over after end of cycle above filter every time

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 12:00:20 -0700

After I open at the end of cycle dishes mostly clean but standing water left and usually a dirty color . 6 months ago I took off filter cleaned it out was really gross water below main filter housing then it was ok for a while. Now again looked and its dirty water again every time cycle ends and above main filter so I assume not draining properly. Drains into a garburetor that I can see and hear the water draining each cycle.

GE Dishwasher: The right leg won't hold any weight.

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 20:44:19 -0700

I was just starting the installation part, and anywhere there is a 10/16 drop off, so before I put the machine back I was adjusting the legs. The right leg doesn't hold any weight and the leg can come out of it's socket. I should say I did not buy this directly, but through Craigslist. The item had some freight damage, but is supposedly new. Do I just buy a piece of wood or something to place back there? At this point in time I am thinking that is my best solution. Thanks, for the help.

GE Dishwasher: will a bad timer keep spray arms from rotating and spraying water?

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 09:26:53 -0700

I have a gsd2100v50bb dishwasher (ge). I started the dishwasher at night before I went to bed. The next morning it was still running.... The timer didn't advance all the way. I then tried to turn the dial a few times, and decided to try it again while watching it.. Water came into the unit. It waited a short while, then the water was drained. The arms never went around, water was never sprayed out. The timer moved at first, but it did get stuck later on. I think that probably means that the circulation pumb is bad as wellas the timer. I just wanted to know, if the timer not working could be the culprit and how do I tell. I would replace the timer, but not the timer and circulation pumb.( That's too much money for this older dishwasher). I prefer this dishwasher over a new one, as it is not all electronic...Thank you.

GE Dishwasher: GE GDT695SGJ2BB fills with water but dont spray, wash dishes

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 10:43:23 -0700

my Dishwasher GE GDT695SGJ2BB acts weird, it fills with water but does not start the washing process. The arms do not rotate and the dishwasher sits like that to the end of the cycle. Then it just drains and heats in the end. It drains very well, I can see it in the Garbage Disposals. I found the tech sheet under the dishwasher and followed instructions from there. So, I entered the ERROR MODE. I found out that my HEATED DRY and LOCK LEDS are SOLID. This means that this is a Wash Temperature error. Which is weird. Then I entered SERVICE MODE. I did all 5 tests from the tech sheet. So I found out that I can not pass the Circulation pump test. It seems like this pump does not work. BUT I could pass the DRAIN PUMP test. Now I am confused. I thought that Drain Pump and Circulation Pump - is ONE pump. But anyway, if these are two devices, then I have to replace one of them. Anywhere I should look more, or this Circulation pump is an issue?

Our GE dishwasher will not turn on. After checking several things, we tested the fuse embedded into the mounting bracket of the control board and it's dead. Need to replace thermal fuse, but can't find the part anywhere and its not on any schematic! Need help.

GE Dishwasher: Dishwasher timer will not stop

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 09:27:31 -0700

Hi, I am having an issue with my Dishwasher not stopping. It seems to be washing fine but the timer just hits the "off" portion of the cycle and starts the cycle over again. I can hear the timer still ticking even though the cycle is complete.

Any ideas what could cause this. The dishwasher is only about 3 years old.

It's a GE Hotpoint Model hda3600h35bb

Lava-louças GE 9 Serviços branca (LLGE009): Hi my dishwasher keeps rotation through all the cycles and won’t start

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 18:59:00 -0700

This problem Started 1 month ago then it seemed to fixed itself… now it’s acting up again. It won’t let you start a cycle as the cycle option keeps switching from heavy, normal, light then rinse. Sometime when we turn the power off then hit start quickly it will start. If it does start it will go for the whole cycle. Also tried turning breaker off then odd time that will help
