If it's not too complicated, find the leak and you will know the cause.

SOURCE: Flapper valve

You will need to adjust the chain. They are just clipped at any point when coming from the factory not at the opyimal length. It will take a little effort to find the desired length as sometimes the trick to getting the valve to remain open longer is opposite of what one would expect. I mean there is a point to where there will be more slack in the line than you might expect to get the valve to stay open for the optimal duration.
Hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Toilet Refills Every 15-Minutes

I have minute amount of leakage into the bowl causing mold to grow. I believe that it may be the rubber seal for the flapper body to the porcelain.

SOURCE: water leaks from tank to bowl till water level in the tank is jus

Yes. You will have to remove your tank from the bowl to replace the defective fill stack(the tube thing your flapper is attached to) it is not as hard as it seems.First remove water supply tube.Then remove the through the tank bolts. should be two of them. Lift off and turn tank upside down. remove spud gasket. Unscrew old stack. You should be able to get a universal kit to work with your tank and should come with all new parts including new flapper and spud gasket. You will need new through the tank bolts and note the sequence of assembly to get water tight seal on tank. Hope this helps

SOURCE: water leaks into the bowl through flapper.

THE THING THAT THE FLAPPER SITS ON IS CALLED A DOUGLAS VALVE. EITHER SAND AROUND THE RIM OF THE VALVE WITH FINE SANDPAPER. UR TRYING TO REMOVE ANY IRREGULARITIES ON THE RIM OF THE VALVE. IF THAT FAILS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, TIME TO REPLACE THE VALVE.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the help. I did that but used very fine steel wool. No help. Called a plumber and he replaced everthing that could be replaced. "

GE Potscrubber 640 Dishwasher. How long does it take before the water starts running in the dishwasher? Can hear the motor, but not any water.

Check under the sink and make sure it is not shut off there. If there is water pressure to the unit then you could have a sticky inlet valve, no power to solenoid on that valve or a bad solenoid, a sticky overfill valve or a bad control board.

Why is water draining from toilet tank?

Is it draining on the floor or through the flapper valve? If it's draining on the floor, the tank bolt gaskets are leaking. If it's the flapper valve, it needs replacing.

My GE Potscrubber Model GSD2230Z04WW is not dissolving the soap. I have already replaced the water inlet valve.

Check your wash arms, and make sure the holes are not plugged. Also make sure they are free to turn. Next,remove the toe-kick panel, and look for leaks or signs of leakage. Sometimes (especially if your tile floor doesn't go all the way back), dishwashers will leak most of their water out and you never know it! Other simpler things is to make sure you are not blocking the soap dispenser with large pans or plates.

Leaking to drain? Adjust float height to keep water below overflow ... or change flapper if it doesn't seal.

Leaking to floor? Check either end of supply line; or check seal between tank and bowl.

GE potscrubber 1200. Fills only partway with water. Holding down float switch makes no difference. Is there another water level control somewhere?

Hi... No there is no another control ....The main control board time fills it!! So that means you have a bad valve ....If I were you I would get a new water valve

GE Potscrubber disher - water leaks out while filling

I would try removing the cover and make sure the float isn't sticking. On mine the float pushes on a rod that goes through the tub to a micro switch. When you hit it, it probably frees it up for a while. Hope that helps.

Toilet keeps filling tank every 10 minutes doesnt sound like its leaking no water around toilet or on floor still flushes and opertes..just water trickles on every 10 minutes or so to top up

If there is no water on the floor then the water is leaking down the main tank drain. Take off the tank lid, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Fllush as much water out as you can. Look at the main drain, sometimes if the flapper valve is connected with a chain, the chain can get caught between the flapper valve and the drain hole, the flapper valve is pliable so it tries to seal around the obstruction but can't always do it. Make sure there is obstruction, that the flapper valve is not out of shape or old and non-pliable and that it lines up with the drain hole and doesn't get "hung up" on anything.

Ge potscrubber dishwasher will not drain properly

Had the same problem with my dishwasher. Took it appart thinking that something was plugging the drain but there wasn't anything. Turns out the cylinoid that has the hook coming out of it to control the flap for the ejection of the water is broken. When looking at your pump, you should see a small flapper valve on the exterior of the pump hooked up to a small cylinoid that when accivated flips a flap in the pump to eject the water out of it instead of letting it circulate in the unit. This is an easy part to replace, but for me, hard to find since my potscrubber is so old. Hopefully your units are newer and you can find this part at your local appliance shop.

Dishwasher

GE 720 Potscrubber I started with the water puddling in bottom now it progressed to leaking on the floor. I had a repair guy come to my home yesterday and he says a broken seal and my total cost to replace seal and labor is $165 plus tax.
What is the life expectancy? He did not sound too promising about the future of my dishwasher and said he is certain there will be another repair need shortly something related to the water saturating an area underneath the dishwasher?
He reccomended I call Sears and replace with a Whirlpool product. He claimed he put his kids thru college repairing GE products. My husband wants to repair and I dont because of fear of spending more money!
