Started by removing dishwasher, including disconnecting power, water and drain line. Then turned washer on back. Electrical connector to old wash pump was a little tricky to remove as the release tab isn’t straightforward, I used a tiny screwdriver and jiggled it around till it came loose. The factory hose clamps (2) are crimped on, but if you can find the tail end you can work them loose with a screwdriver by prying the tail up from the body of the clamp. Once you have the electrical connector and the two clamps removed, the pump comes of easily with a twisting motion. The new wash motor came with new clamps (2 extra). When sliding the rubber boots on the new pump in place, it will require a twisting motion to position it correctly, make sure (I didn’t and had to go through the whole process twice) that the rubber boot is not folded under on the bottom where it’s hard to see. Tighten clamps carefully and don’t over tighten. Plug in electrical connector and you’re ready to reinstall dishwasher.

This dishwasher started to not want to start about 1 year ago but on several attempts to start the dishwasher it would power up or start. On Christmas Eve 2021 I did a load of dishes and from that point on the dishwasher would not power up. Got on line and did some troubleshooting and felt the Control Panel was the problem. Ordered the replacement part from this website, the part arrived around January 1, 2022. Installed the new Control Panel yesterday and my dishwasher is now working great again. Thank you for the ability or order and fix my dishwasher

The repair went very well, I watched a video on how to fix it on utube for this model the board from partselect was a OEM and fit perfectly. If I ever have an appliance problem partselct will be the number 1 on my list to call. I have told most of my friends about them and how great they are to deal with. They rate eleven stars.

Unplugged power.
Shut off water supply.
Remove the kick panel.
Unscrewed dishwasher from under cabinet and side screws. lower feet to reduce tension.
As you slide the dishwasher out, be sure all lines (Drain, water supply, electric are free to move with dishwasher.
I was able to hold the dishwasher at an angle to easily get to the valve. After removing the the valve, i screwed the new valve back into place. I removed the Line between the valve and Dishwasher. Putting the line on the new valve. I removed the water supply line from the old valve and installed it on the new valve.
Placed the dishwater back in place and screed it back in. I ran the cycles. everything works!
I replace the kickpaner a couple of hours later. Check to make sure there were now leaks.

After reading the manual that came with my dishwasher, 5 years ago, it states if the green LED is on steady, change the machine control board. PartsSelect sent the bd within a week. I replace the board but the result was the same (steady green LED); Contacting PartsSelect, they gave me a return label and shipped another control board. Unfortunately the second control board had the same outcome. PartsSelect send another return label and I returned both machine control boards. I contacted GE and am having a service man (from GE) come and fix it. The manual for this dishwasher must be in error!! PartsSelect has been fantastic in understanding this and allowing me to return the bds.

It was relatively easy to fix. I unscrewed the mounting screws from the cabinet, slide the dishwasher out to access the pump under the dishwasher, I did raise the dishwasher on the left side and steadied with a stool to make access to the pump fitting easier. Then I loosed both clamps at the ends of the hose ie. from the dishwasher pump and the connection to the sink drain line, pulled the clamp off of the end that connects to the pump and placed it on the new hose connection, I removed the old hose, connected the new one and tightened the drain line connections. I placed the hose in the hose holders on the side of the dishwasher slid the dishwasher back into place and secured it in place with the mounting screws.

Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

Simply pick the basket up to slide wheels onto axles and push in until they lock in place.

the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.

there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher

the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]

it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

Twist counter clockwise to remove clockwise to install

My son did the repair, I ordered both latch and striker, only needed the latch...only took him a few minutes to remove the old and install the new and works just fine

This is a replacement that is straightforward but a bit mechanical. For an experienced engineer it was no problem but for the common household this is a repair best left to the pros. Fixed the issue no problem and the dishwasher is working perfectly now.
