GDF620HSJ4SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

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.

It took a little googling and YouTubing to find the problem and solution, but once we had this UI board in hand, the installation was simple.

Most of the labor and little bit of struggle was taking the dishwasher door apart to get to the UI board.

Make sure to follow the instructions in the package to configure for your model, which was straightforward and simple enough to do.

Once the door was back together and reinstalled, she worked like a dream. The display also seems brighter to me. We haven't had the "random singing" that the dishwasher was doing before the original UI board went out either.

You can do this fix!

Simply put it on and twist it to lock in place. Took all of 3 seconds

Took it out of the box and set rollers on track
rolled in place ALL DONE

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

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

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!

Make sure power to dishwasher is off. Unscrew from counter. Pull dishwasher out enough to expose pulleys that hold the door in place. Remove lower panel and insulation. Unplug door jack from main panel underneath. Loosen pulleys on each side and remove door. Take a 1/4 in socket and remove the bolt on the upper side of the hook on each side, then remove the screws on the outer side panel on each side. Now slide the inner door panel up (push the top and pull the bottom), which will release the hooks on each side. Turn over the inner panel and remove the four screws that hold the interface control panel in place. Unplug the two jacks and remove the panel. Now take a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the clear cover. Remove the control panel. Make sure you set the junction as prescribed with the instructions that come with the new control panel. MIND YOU- YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE JUNCTIONS (TAKE EACH ONE OUT) AND RESET THEM ON THE PRONGS IN THE ORDER AS PRESCRIBED. Replace the control panel, replace the clear cover, insert it back in place, plug in jacks and replace screws. Turn inner panel over and line up side where the hooks lock. replace all screws and bolts. Replace door on dishwasher, plug in jack to main panel, attach pulleys to door. Replace insulation and front panel to bottom of dishwasher. Push dishwasher back in place. Replace screws that hold dishwasher to counter. Turn main power back on and VOILA!!

Took bottom plate off pulled down controls module plate

Had authorized GE repair service come too fix my dishwasher. He diagnosed problem to be mother board .coast $99 for house call. He did some calculations and said it will be $550 for parts and labor. I found parts select online and ordered part for only $80
And made repair myself. Simple ,a few hex screws and unplug mother board it was a snap.

Popped the old one off. Popped the new one on. Easy as that.

I took out the old one and simply inserted the replacement. It was an exact replacement part and thus a perfect fit. Dishwasher is working fine now! Cost was around $40 (shipped) which I thought was reasonable.

Unscrew the upper and side holding screws. Move dishwasher part way out. I didn't need to disconnect the water or electric. Make sure the electricity is off. Remember your working around water. Take off the bottom plat removing two screws, Remove broken cable pulley and replace new. Buy two since your their you might want to replace both. Have fun! It's duck soup.
