washer would not turn on - start button light would flash but not turn washer on
The main board is located under the washer in metal box accessed by removal of front plate at bottom. Removal of 2 screws on front of metal box allows board to drop down. However, very cumbersome to work on your back on floor in small space. I took the easy way and slid the washer out of cabinet, then turned washer ( it's light weight) on its back to access & remove old board and easily replace with new one. Also one of the connector plugs had to be replaced wired into the power connection made me very glad I was not working on my back ! Then simply turn washer upright and slide back into its cubby hole under counter.

The diswaher was not pumping out the dirty water
Once I got the dishwasher out of the cabinet, which required removing the top screws and then the lower face plate. I then removed the old pump by disconnecting the hoses, then removing the old pump by pulling it from the hanger wire. I then disconnected the wire harness. I then put the new pump in place in reverse order. The wire harness connections were different, and the new harness that came with the new pump I was not sure how it may have went with this unit. So I hard wired it by sniping out the wire connector on both sides and wire nutting the connections. Once done I put the dishwasher back in place and tested. Worked like a charm.

Loud banging sound when dishwasher was on.
The base of the spray arm literally just spins a little bit into place like a luer lock. Takes two seconds to replace.

Diswasher was leaking
Drain hose elbow (#326) had a crack in it. Disconnected power, slid dishwasher out and laid on its back. Hose had two pinch clamps to remove. Replace old hose with new one and used standard hose clamps. Put dishwasher back in place and hooked power back up. Entire process took less than 30 minutes. PartSelect had elbow for about $6. GE does not sell just the elbow. They sell whole pump setup for about $106.

Old rack had rusted and broken tines
1. Take a picture of the old rack in the dishwasher! Just in case!
2. Remove rail channel end caps and place them on the tabletop on the correct side to make sure you put them back on the correct side.
3. Remove old rack.
4. Carefully snap off the water sprinkling unit. (carefully push down tabs so they don't break).
5. Using your picture as a reference (!) snap the water sprinkling unit on the new rack (it's easy).
6. Put the new rack back onto the rail channel and replace the end caps.
Done! Very easy installation ! Rack was not nearly as expensive as I anticipated and was delivered quickly. Note: You get the rack only. All ot the other parts are from the old unit.

old nasty gasket needed to be replaced
youtube youtube youtube!
No videos for the exact unit, but I got the gist from one video which included the trick of holding the door hinge springs in place with allen wrenches, while the door slid up and away for access to the gasket. I also had to pull the unit out from under the counter by about a foot. No need to disconnect anything. Good luck.

Ge Dishwasher was not filling with water
I replaced the Flood Switch Part Number: WD21X10519.
I found that be removing the bottom front cover under dishwasher door, there was a small black plastic clamp holding up the wiring cable. By disconnecting the clamp, it gave me a few more inching of wire inside the machine, which made disconnecting old flood switch easier. It also help in installing the new flood switch. Then finally i reinstall the clamp cable under the machine to finish the job.
