Manufacturer sent a new one and installed but it still has the same problem. The drain hose is connected to a garbage disposer.

rs, in the back under the screen is a piston nut assy. This is a common problem on these GE's. The seal on the assy. becomes warped or worn and when this happens we get water left in the tub after drain. It's an easy fix. The screen comes off and the pistion nut assy. simply unscrews. The part number is WD24X220. You can look it up on the net, inexpensive. Catriver..post back.
SOURCE: GE Triton Dishwasher will not drain they water after it's cycle...thoughts?
Peace,
Cut off the power at the breaker for 5 minutes and then turn it on and see if the system resets!
The machine was in your home 3 years , and used for more than that by someone else! I can tell you by the model that its at least 10 years old!
appliances more than 9 years old cost you money to run and fix! Throw it out and do not put good money into bad!
The new ones no matter how inexpensive will wash better and cost you a hell of a lot less to operate. They are so much more energy efficient today that they pay for them selves in a couple of years! With a new machine watch your water and power bill go down!!!
Other wise you need hands on service!
if you got the money do it new!
Bless You!

There should be an overload button somewhere on the bottom of the disposal motor. This is to prevent the motor from trying to run if the chopping blades are jammed, otherwise the motor would burn up.
First, try to move the blades with something like a broom handle. Using a flashlight you should be able to see the blades. there's probably three of them. try to make sure each one can move even a little bit.
Next, with the disposal switch in the off position, find the overload button and push it in, Then turn on the disposal switch and see if it runs. If the overload button trips off again, repeat the above steps until the blades can turn.
Let me know how this goes. Loringh

It sounds like you have an Air Gap...a separate device that is used to prevent back flow into the DW. Take off the top of the air gap and see if it is gunked up and or clean it with a shop vac...as well disconnect the line to the drain evac it as well... also there is a reservoir in the back that is attached to the drain pump...take the screws out...see that it is clean and free of debris...be careful as glass or other particles can be in there. Also have you had a new dispoal installed if so the drain plug may not have been removed. As i read more I am certain you have an air gap...make sure it is cleaned and free from obstruction....if this does not solve the problem...here are some other GE specifc things and a link to help......
1. Air gap / Drain hoses
If there is an air gap (located in the sink, near the faucet), check to
see if it is clogged. Unscrew the top cap and see if there is anything
blocking inside. Note: If there is no air gap installed, the dishwasher
might not drain properly.
If the drain hose is clogged, the dishwasher would not drain. If there
is an air gap installed, it is very common that a hose going from the
air gap into the garbage disposer is clogged. Remove and clean the
hose. Make sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher.
Note: If you recently had a garbage disposer installed, it is common to overlook removing the drain plug.
2. Broken belt
Some dishwasher models use a belt to drive the pump. Replace the belt if found broken.
Note: Sometimes the belt would just come off the pump. Even though it
might not be broken, it is recommended that you replace the belt,
because it is probably too stretched out.
3. Pump
Some models have two impellers inside the pump - one, wash impeller,
takes care of the wash cycles, the other, drain impeller, drains the
water out. If the drain impeller is broken (broken blades, shaft), the
dishwasher would not drain. Replace any broken pump components.
4. Drain solenoid
Some models (for example most GE dishwashers) use a drain solenoid to
drain water out. Sometimes the solenoid gets stuck, preventing the
water from draining out. Try to free up the solenoid. If unsuccessful,
you might have to replace the pump assembly.
5. Motor
If the motor is stuck, it is sometimes possible to free it up by manually spinning the motor.
Replace the motor if defective.
6. Timer
Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem).
Here is some GE specific info and a link.....
GE dishwashers will have a sump
entrance screen ( #4 ) that should be
removed and checked for any gookus, see 1 or 2 screws on the cover top, which is
behind the lower spray arm. Almost all ( some newer GE dishwashers have a separate
drain pump and motor - but for our purpose, we will talk about the most
common GE dishwashers ) GE dishwashers have a drain
solenoid ( #1 ) that can fail and stop
the draining. If the solenoid cannot pull in the silver plunger, the drain port
will not open to allow the motor and pump assembly to drain the water out. The
solenoid can be ohmed
with an ohm meter for continuity, or tested to see if it is receiving 110-120 volts AC. Many GE
dishwashers have a self
clean filter ( #3 ) inside at the back.
The draining water must pass through a plunger in the self clean filter body.
This can get clogged up, or the plunger may twist and distort and not allow the
draining water to get past. The filter can be removed from the inside and the
plunger will twist out of the self cleaning body for testing/checking. Next obstacle
for the draining water in the back
flush valve ( #2 ). This valve can twist
or distort and block the water flow as well. The drain port will need to be
accessed to check this flapper valve, the drain port will untwist from the self
clean filter body. All hoses in-between the items mentioned above and the drain
hose itself all the way to the house plumbing should be checked for
restrictions.
Some extra filter, draining tips and pictures....
During the wash and rinse modes of the cycle, soiled water
falls down the back of the tub and into the filter area. The water comes through
the filter and back into the tub. During the wash and rinse periods all ( we
hope! ) the water will pass through the filter. The soil will settle into the
collection chamber and is held there. When the dishwasher goes into the pump out
mode the water in the sump is pumped through the collection chamber. This closes
the piston valve to the inside of the tub. The pump flushes the collection
chamber of all the food soil and pumps it down the drain. A check valve is
located in the drain line port. This valve allows the water to flow in the drain
direction only and prevents the water from coming back into the tub. The drain
line check valve must close in the back flow direction or the piston valve in
the collection chamber may not reopen into the tub after the pump out is
complete. Water should "fall" through the filter and go back into the
tub....the heavier food particles go down into the chamber and are collected.

is a link for you to check out...I have all this info in my data base
but since it is in PDF format it does not translate well to this
format...

SOURCE: GE Dishwasher not draining the water out
hi eddavid,
thank you for using fixya.
with regard to your issue, here is the possible cause. The check valve is worn and letting water back in the tub while it is draining there for not draining all the water out.
Can temporarily be repaired with a cork until i can get a new check valve.
You may also try to restart dishwasher with rinse only and as soon as it starts push reset and it will drain water out.
Going deeper into the appliance, the dishwasher has a rubber flapper style check valve located between the soil collection chamber and the drain line. These go bad and restrict the water from draining out. Also some models have a valve under screen in back called a piston valve if this has debris keeping it from opening and closing or is deteriorated you will need to change this also.Start washer let fill initiate pump out water should exit rapidy into drain if its slow check both items above
Hope this helps, if you have other question, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Regards,
voodoo

RESOLVED! Turned out to be the drain plug inside of the garbage disposal was not removed!
Who was the rocket scientist that forgot to remove that? :<)
