GE 24 in. GSD500X Built-in Dishwasher Questions & Answers
Low water preasure
If the water pressure is only low on the washer first make sure that the faset your washer is connected to is all the way up or on. If it is you'll have to get to the back of the washer , turn off the water , take of the hose from the back and check the screen thats in the hose and the washer connection. One or both of them maybe clogged.

I have a GE gds500p .When turning the rotary dial
Sounds like you drain pump as blocked. first remove the water from inside by hand, then remove the front kick plate should be just 2 screws then remove the inner panel to access the drain pump. It either has 1 screw and then twists out or has 3 screws and pulls off. but they can still be awkward to remove either way. Or if you want you can pull the machine out and lay it on its side and remove the bottom panel, this will allow you complete access into the base of the machine. The base comes off with 2 screws at the front and then clips of. Hope this helps

Over flowing intermitantly
The float most likely dirty. May be getting stuck in the down position (not telling the washer it is full). Look in the manual, it should be in the Trouble shooting section. No manual, look for it on the bottom of the inside of the dishwasher, should be 2" to 3" in diameter/plastic and move freely up and down and inch or so.

Detergent cup
Hi,
The detergent cup itself can become clogged with old dried detergent that prevents it from opening. Sometimes just cleaning the cup takes care of the problem. If not, you probably need to replace the entire cup assembly.
Please rate my suggestion..

Water dispenser not spinning
Are both of the problems listed here on
GE > 24 in. GSD500X Built-in Dishwashers?
The original problem could be a cracked spray arm (rather simple to fix).
It could be a sever blockage of the pump/motor or impeller that
normally pushes the water up to the spray arms. Opening the bottom pump filter and removing all debris in the filter and underneath it is the next step.
If these solutions do not fix it, then the wash pump/motor have begun to fail and are not creating the water pressure needed to properly spin the spray arms.
Good Luck!

Replacing Rollers on GE 725
Hi bklink_2000,
I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.
Your problem is: Now that you have the rollers you can't see how to get the old ones out or the new ones in. You are worried that if you forced the plastic piece out at the front of the steel rail you may bend the rail.
You're on the right track! The plastic end caps should pop off, that,s what they're for.
Feel free contact me again!

Thank you,

NO Water
Check the float under the lower rack. It should move up and down freely and you should hear a click when moving it. This operates a switch that turns the power to the water valve off if it gets to full. If it sticks in raised position or has gotten out of place where it rests on switch under the dishwasher, the valve will not let water in.

Ge dishwasher lower rack doesn't get clean
I have spent all my career in the catering and food industry with dishwashers of all shapes and sizes.The usual reason for this can be two fold.First make sure that the bottom spray arm spins freely. For various reasons they can stick and that means the spray only hits one place. If you spin it, it should spin at least 2 revolutions. Even if it does....Remove the bottom spray arm. The thing that makes it spin is the angled jets in either end. They will often block with debris, and the worst is lemon pips and cocktail sticks, even fluff. No one knows how fluff gets in there, but it does. At my last job at a VERY busy airport lounge putting literally hundreds of baskets through a day, the two filters had to be de-fluffed every day. The problem at home is that the fluff solidifies between uses. So look at those end two jets, poke with something and put water in from the jet end rinsing to the big hole in the centre. Put the plug in the sink so you can see what comes out. The turn the arm over and force a good jet of water into the big centre hole and it should show as a good jet at the ends. Then put the arm back and make sure it spins.Your machine has a strange item called a 4 port diverter valve. This part concerns me a bit as it appears that it may be supposed to move or at least has to be in the correct orientation. Some items like this have a rubber flap that really does divert the flow. Once gain, some type of debris can ruin its function. It looks easy enough to remove.504 - Diagram Number FOUR PORT DIVERTER AND PLUG ASSEMBLY WD19X26398
https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/assembly/PDT715SYN3FSAnother trick is to whip the door open mid wash if it doesn't have a safety lock and see what the arm is doing and if it is spraying well.I hope this is more use than our friend Umar Waheed!

Why is my GE dishwasher drain solenoid continuously burning up?
There could be a few reasons why your GE dishwasher drain solenoid keeps burning up:
- Overloading the dishwasher: Overloading the dishwasher can cause the motor to work harder, which in turn can cause the drain solenoid to burn out.
- Improper installation: If the drain solenoid is not installed correctly or there is a wiring issue, this can cause the solenoid to burn out.
- Clogs or blockages: If there are clogs or blockages in the dishwasher's drain line or garbage disposal, this can cause the motor to work harder and burn out the drain solenoid.
- Electrical issues: If there are electrical issues with the dishwasher, such as a short circuit, this can cause the solenoid to burn out.
To troubleshoot the issue, you may want to start by checking the dishwasher's drain line and garbage disposal for any clogs or blockages. You can also check the dishwasher's installation and wiring to ensure everything is properly connected. If the issue persists, you may need to consult a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
GLD2800V00WW GE dishwasher - doesn't stop washing when door is opened.
The OP Michelle writes with the FIX! Well done.
I was able to repair by doing the following: Removed the inner cover and the cover over the interlock switch. The peg and spring between the interlock switch and the other switch (?) flew out. The peg slides in-between two white plastic "legs" that seemed bent. Tried to straighten them, re-inserted the peg and spring. Removed the interlock switch, checked connection was firm and reinserted. Made sure peg slides up and down. Closed everything up and voila! The dishwasher stops when door is opened. No new parts needed!
