SOURCE: GE Dishwasher is not draining water
GE Prifile dishwashers have a valve called a "Piston" and an "O" -Ring under the screen that become degraded over time. The part is around $10 and it takes about an hour to do the repair. You can do this yourself if you are handy and have some simple tools. You can go to the GE website and get a free owners manual.
SOURCE: Is this GE Profile dishwasher recalled?
No recalls on any GE Profile model dishwashers. (there may have been service bulletins, but no recalls) Also, you missed the first two letters of the serial number.
You can go to this web site http://www.geappliances.com/products/recall/ to find info on any GE recall.
SOURCE: Dishwasher won't drain?
HI. check the following areas for fualts.
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).
SOURCE: I require a manual for a Maytag jet clean
Your dishwasher was manufactured in November of 1986. Uh...its actually 23 years old, which could be why I had a hard time locating a manual for you. I was able to find a manual at the following link:
http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search_results.jsp?searchTerm=MDB6000AWW&siteCd=MT_EN_US#owners_manuals
There's an Owner's Manual and Installation guide listed.
If you need further assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
Testimonial: "Thank you for the quick response. Much appreciated."

Hello there again
I think we got disconnected in the chat room so i will post the solutions here for you to check ok
The water doesn't drain from the machine
If the water doesn't drain from your dishwasher,
check these:
Drain line/air gap
A clog in the drain line or air gap (if there is
one) is the usual reason that a dishwasher won't drain. Often the
problem is at the point where the drain line attaches to the garbage
disposer or household drain line. If you remove this line, you can clear
any debris from the hose or hose connection. Be sure to reattach the
hose before starting the dishwasher again.
Pump
Your dishwasher pump ejects the water. The pump is
usually mounted directly to the motor, then attached to the bottom of
the dishwasher. You can reach the pump from inside the dishwasher, but
first you need to remove the lower rack, the spray arm, and the spray
arm support.
Look for an impeller--a round plastic fan
blade-type of device that spins around. This is the wash impeller, which
forces the water through the spray arm. Beneath the wash impeller is
the drain impeller, which is similar in size and shape to the wash
impeller. The drain impeller pushes the water toward the drain port.
These components make up the pump. If any of the pump components are
defective, you need to replace them.
Drain valve and/or solenoid
Many dishwashers use a drain valve with an
electric solenoid. When electricity flows to the solenoid, the valve
opens and diverts the water to the drain. Sometimes the solenoid, or the
diverting lever, sticks and prevents the dishwasher from draining or
filling properly. Try to free up the solenoid to lubricate the lever.
Otherwise, you may have to replace the solenoid or pump assembly. With
these systems, the motor always rotates in one direction. When it's
energized, the drain valve diverts the water.
Other dishwashers simply reverse the direction of
the motor to drain the dishwasher. These units don't have a drain valve.
Instead, there's a drain hose connected directly to the pump housing.
Belt
If the motor isn't turning or working, the unit
won't drain. at all." If the motor hums but
doesn't turn, it may need to be replaced.
