GE Dishwasher Not Washing - How to Troubleshoot and Fix (Circulation Pump)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- My GE (GDT665SSN2SS) dishwasher would not wash. It drained, filled, and heated, but not actually wash the dishes. This video shows how to diagnose the issue and how I fixed my particular issue. It turned out to be the circulation pump.
Exactly my same repair. It went without much of a hitch. Thank you for the diagnosis tips. Down to the motor burnout dust on the floor.
I logged in just to say THANK YOU for making this video, which saved me $200-300 in labor costs because your fix worked perfectly for me!! Ordered a new circulation pump for about $120, it arrived the next day, and I had it successfully installed in about 20 minutes. Super helpful!
Hey. That’s the same garbage GE dishwasher I have. Nothing but trouble out of the first one I had. So they replaced it with a newer model. 14 months in, start the same cycle over. Thanks for the video and the service mode steps. I’ll be needing it again.
So thank you for the video. I just want to add that when I saw your pump all gunked up I thought maybe the pump was just jammed. So I took a wrench to the pump and it kicked on. It was just jammed. Might not have been the case for yours but again thanks for your video but i suggest to your viewers to try and bang the pump with a wrench to break the impeller loose.
Thanks for the video! Super helpful. Had the exact same issue but on a different model (compressor was located underneath the machine).

I have a GE Adora. When it doesn't clean, remove the motor, and clean the impeller. It's easy to do, and it will save you from buying a new pump.
Great Video. I was able to remove the back cover and clear the dust and that fixed it without having to replace the motor.
Nice work!
Where did you get the list of what each mode tests? Our Ge has 8 modes.
8hours ago lol. I'm just checking mine out now too. I'm certain mine is the circulation pump as well. Less than a year
Hi there! Thanks for this video! It helped me locate the diagnostic mode. My book does not include the instructions to pull this up. Where were you able to find this? Mine also has 8 modes. I’m trying to determine why mine shuts off in the middle of a cycle, but seemingly all of the test modes are functioning normal. TIA!
This is happening to mine. Did you find an answer?
@@katecasey1380no solve on this yet. I’ve been hand washing. I’m back to trying to track it down again. Let me know if you found a solution. :)
Thanks for the video. I had the same problem with my dishwasher.
After running all these what do you look for that lets you know it’s faulty?
Mine is a 2020. Last year the rubber elbow split and it leaked water on the floor. I had to buy the whole pump. Worked like new until last week. Now is not cleaning top and bottom. It used an oem GE replacement pump. Could it be bad already? BTW both spray arms are clear of blockage.
UPDATE: I just fixed it at no cost. I removed the lower bar, removed 3 screws and pulled out the center piece. The white spindle inside has 2 magnets on the end. It had a black goo all over it. Degreaser wouldn't even touch it. I had to use a toothpick to scrape the magnets clean then more degreaser and an old toothbrush. Put it all back together and it works like it should!
Thank you for your time and information. I called ge and got no help from them so maybe you can help. When i start a cycle from the beginning the pump comes on to drain the sump and doesn't stop pumping. It doesn't go into the fill mood when I go through the steps that you show it also doesn't fill could there be a issue with the board or is there a float not working to show that the tub is empty? 2:19
I have the same issue - how did you resolve?
@@FastestSoccer take the bottom cover off. Look under the dishwasher and you will see the pump. On my pump there's a float sensor on the left so I popped it off and found food buildup on the open end so I cleaned out the buildup and popped it back in and reconnected the wire harness then I started up the dishwasher and no problem sense then
@@FastestSoccer I hope this helps you
@@airgunner0335bro you just saved me from having to fork out a bunch of money for a service call. Thank you so much for this comment.
@@justinjobe3807 I'm glad that I could help someone. Have a good one
Would have been helpful if you had provided the part number in description. I can't believe the trash appliances being made today. My same GE lasted 3 years before this pump failed. Thanks CHINA.
Hey, 中国 is pretty great if you don't buy the worst of what they have to save money. Seriously, I love that country.
@@JB52520 , center of the world? They do think too highly of themselves.
Sorry the model number was in the video description (GDT665SSN2SS). I too was frustrated that it broke so soon.
@@hobbyhandyman, part number for the replacement pump (not dishwasher)
Just bought the same dishwasher and was looking for a diagnostic mode to test everything now that I've installed it it's not very encouraging to see that yours needed a new pump so soon.
Thanks for the comment. Hoping mine was just a fluke and yours works well. After the replacement everything seems to be working well.
@@hobbyhandyman , nope not a fluke. These dishwashers are horrible. See other comments.
Awesome video. I have a GE GDT530PSP4SS, so I noticed that there was no water coming out to wash. Therefore I replace the "water inlet valve" thinking that was the issue. However I watched a video and cleaned out the "pressure switch" as instructed. I still get no water on washing cycle. Would you know or have any suggestion as what else can I check on it? I would really appreciate you assistance. Thank you in advance.
That’s an interesting issue. I would look for a clog in the inlet line and confirm that then inlet valve is turned on at the house side.
This is the same issue I have. Plenty of water and pressure for the initial rinse cycle, pumps it out, it will open the soap door, but there is no water in the basin.
Did anyone ever figure this one out?
After a cycle I took the filter to clean. Is it normal that water is still there where the filter is? If if not how to manual drain it. Is there a setting
Yes in my experience there is always some water in there.
I have a model ge pdt755syr4fs that I bought because it was the middle of the post-COVID supply chain mess and GE couldn't get the parts for the model I wanted. But hey, IT'S GOT WIFI! This video is the only reference I can find on the web to this diagnostic system (Select Cycle/Start and tab through modes exercise). My machine doesn't produce error codes and using this diagnostics program is of minimal help since all you can do is "thumb" through modes and listen and pop open the door periodically to see what's going on. Does anyone know where to get more dope on diagnostics / troubleshooting? My model also has a power washer feature for the silverware rack, which diverts water through a separage conduit than the spray arms. By simply running a cycle and opening and closing the door quickly, I have noted that water is diverting to my silverware rack, but not to the upper or lower spray arms. The diverter in the bottom of the unit is a $100 black box that I suspect is nothing more than a housing with a ball floating around inside. I'm guessing the ball is stuck and will try removing and cleaning it.
Well, this model doesn't have the ball, but a 4-port diverter disc. I pulled the diverter disc out of the bottom of the dishwasher basin and it is apparently operated magnetically by a couple of small magnets at the end of the stem. The magnets were covered by some black tar. This is similar to the post by @overthehandlebars, made 6 months ago. The material isn't soluble by dishsoap, Lysol, or Goo Gone. I cleaned them off with a pick as best I could and put everything back together - am running a 1-hr cycle and it appears to be working.
CAUTION: If you do this, be sure to put the 4-port diverter disc back in the same position you took it out. I don't know if it really matters, but I couldn't find any guidance anywhere directing how the disc should be configured.
It’s an Excellent video,but should be great if was showing how to remove step by step . And install back again … I still like the video thank you !
Good video...thanks for posting
Thank you!! This helps!
Quick question. How do you know exactly what pump model # to order?
If it’s the same dishwasher as mine, the part number is GEWD19X25700. Otherwise google the model number of the dishwasher you have and look for a parts diagram. That will show you the part number for the circulation pump.
When you say cutting of means take the clamp out with a screwdriver? Or cut the piece? Sorry I’m new to this . Thanks ok adavance . How do I take the dishwasher out are there any screws. I have the same dishwasher
how did you know it was the circulation pump? was the machine making a noise?
Thanks for watching. I ran the diagnostic and didn’t hear any water circulation so I assumed that is what the issue was. Everything else seemed to work fine except for no water circulation.
Hello! Thanks for posting this video. When I run a cycle it starts and sounds like it’s going good, then just stop with the washing. The heating and drying cycle works perfectly. But when I open the door, the soap dispenser is either unopened or it’s opened slightly and the soap is just sorta melted, not used. It’s like it’s not getting enough water? Any ideas? When I run the diagnostic thing I don’t hear anything happening on #3. Thank you!
Did you hear the pump still running, just no water circulating? Or pump wasn’t running at all?
Thinking something....anydoby@@charlesleonhard7065
Thanks for posting this. This is exactly what happened to mine even down to the pile of grey gunk in the floor under the motor.
My identical GE dishwasher flooded my entire floor! The culprit was the rubber 90 degree pipe. It turns out that it's a well known, well documented defect. GE has/will do nothing about it! Even though other models have a similar rubber hose for $8 this model doesn't. You have to buy the entire pump $100-$160. SMH 🤬
That’s so frustrating.
I had to replace the wash circulation pump, and when installing it the diverter started leaking. When I pulled it off the diverter rubber boot was disintegrating, if you rub your finger on it the rubber comes off onto your finger. Pure Junk. The dishwasher just over 4 yrs old. GE is making pure junk.

Little toy pumps that are designed to fail so they can keep selling you parts & keep service guys busy.
Need a better editor, never heard of a whirlpool/GE dishwasher
