Dishwasher not draining fully

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.

Shut off power to dishwasher at electric panel,shut off water supply,open door of dishwasher,remove screws on top side of dishwasher that are screwed into the underside of the countertop,,remove the front service panel on the bottom front face of the appliance by removing two or more screws on the right and left,locate and disconnect the water supply feed,locate and disconnect the electricity supply cable,locate and disconnect the drain hose usually connected to the drain of a nearby sink,pull dishwasher out of cavity in cabinet by grasping both sides of dishwasher with door slightly open,adjustment of front legs of appliance may be necessary.

You can take the unit and lay it down. There will be some water leakage. You can then see the hoses and connections. Sounds like the drain hose is either cracked or loose.

My GE Potscrubber 630 dishwasher leaves a white film on all of the dishes. Is there a filter that can be cleaned out?

Check the drain filter.Clean if glogged! Check drain hose connections. Hope the required height as per the user guide maintained.

Check water level switch.

Yes water does stay in the sump all the time. This is normal.

Try running a cycle with a cup of Vinegar or Baking Soda in the dishwasher.

Also check to make sure that your drain line (under the sink) is higher than the sink drain and not allowing some sink drain seepage back into the dishwasher.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. First of all please check the Water temperature by using a thermometer inside the dishwasher to measure the water temp. It should be as close to 125 degree F to 140 degree F as possible. Now try using the temperature boost feature if your dishwasher is equipped with this cycle feature and check if this will help your wash ability issues.

Now check the Powder soap by making sure that you store your soap in a dry environment and it is not stale and clumping together. Possibly try a different detergent like a liquid or gel. Also, make sure the dishes are loaded properly, or dishwasher is not overloaded.

To check the proper filling dishwasher will fill with water up to and around the heating element. If water is more below the heating element, you may have low water pressure or a problem with the fill valve. Try & listen if it sounds like it is spraying the water around with enough pressure.

For low water pressure, try to clean the screen at the entrance of the fill valve, sometimes the fill valve can fail and not allow the proper water into the dishwasher and may need to be replaced. And, check the spray arm and pump cover for splits or leaks. Also make sure that the water is draining and is not accumulated in the dishwasher, if it is in dishwasher then check for clogged drain hoses and drain pump.

Low water fills are a very common trouble maker with today's dishwasher.

Please do rate this solution and revert for further assistance.

your not draining the washed dirty water out. its leaving crud on dishes. check drain pump and drain line for restrictions

For starters does it drain at all?If the drain line is connected to the sink drain and you have a garbage disposal,the drain hose could be plugged up.

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!
