GE 24 in. Monogram ZBD6880KSS Stainless Steel Built-in Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hello. When looking up your unit for the service manual, I found that it might be subject to a service flash--potential fire hazard. You will need your complete model and serial number. Call GE (877) 275-6640, and find out if your washer is in the list. There is a condensation problem in the door which can cause moisture to drip down onto the control board causing a short circuit. There needs to be a cover over a fuse on the board. If your unit has a green dot next to the sticker which has the model/serial number on it, it's already been modified. If not, then GE will send a parts kit and you will have to get a tech to install it.

Before taking anything to bits, check you aren't just loading the machine in such a way that something (for us, it's usually a frying pan) is stopping the soap dispenser from springing open all the way. A.

First make sure your homes drain pipe is not plugged up. If not remove the drain hose where it connects to the drain pump. you will see a flapper valve(thin rubber piece) #328 in the diagram,this is probally allowing water to flow back into the machine. A common problem with this model the flapper gets torn or worn out. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. Enter your model # at www.appliancehelponline.com and diagrams will come up for your model.

What kind of unit is it? What Brand, model, etc.. How long have you had it. Is it hard wired. This is an indication that you have a short somewhere. Is the item still under buyers warranty, or from the manufacture. If you can provide me with additional info I might be able to assist you further. Hope this helps.

Th ete first thing to do is put a pack of limonade unsweetened through a wash, it will clean any hardness minerals. Next be sure the heat element is working properly, then consider replacing the pump/motor assembly, fairly easy you can prts online.

First, here are some tips to help with your model number: look for an aluminum tag--or a silver or white adhesive label. The model number may be printed or stamped onto the tag and it may be written in two different type sizes or styles. You might find the tag in one of these places:

• Inside the door jamb, to the left, right, or top
• On the door, to the left, right or top

the drain was clogged. A handyman used a snake to clean it out.

Try a power disconnect from the mains for 5 minutes and then plug it back in. It that doesn't fix it, the problem will be the main control board. Many parts are obsolete. https://www.google.com/search?q=GLD4908T10BB ..

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 WD19X26398https://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!

kindly cehck the water inket valve Sometimes, the valve might not open fully during a cycle, causing water flow issues or it may be clogged

Question moved from Rifle Optic Sights to GE Dishwasher.

Make sure the hot water is on

There could be a few reasons why your GE dishwasher drain solenoid keeps burning up:

1. Overloading the dishwasher: Overloading the dishwasher can cause the motor to work harder, which in turn can cause the drain solenoid to burn out.
2. Improper installation: If the drain solenoid is not installed correctly or there is a wiring issue, this can cause the solenoid to burn out.
3. 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.
4. 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.

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! ..

Check the stainless steel cover on the bottom of the lower rack sprayer. If it has been bent downward on either end, it will hit the inside panel of the door near the bottom. It may score the panel as it hits on each rotation of the sprayer.

Just bend it back in position, carefully, with a pair of pliers. The technique required is similar to bending the pocket clip of a fountain pen back into the proper position after it has been sprung out too far. You might practice on a pen or mechanical pencil clip to see what I mean.

These buttons suck and the software even more.. there should be an unlock button for this dishwasher if it locks up
