  • This is your typical GE dishwasher. Beyond checking spray holes for obstructions which can cause this poor performance the water level is key for proper operation. This video shows you how to see how much water is going into the basin and also see the arms operating with the door open. This will allow you to determine whether your unit is properly filling or not. That will let you determine whether there’s a blockage or the inlet valve needs replacing.

    Amazing!thank you!! I looked everywhere on you tube for two days to figure out a way to diagnose the dishes not turnjng clean. The idea of adding water was key! I have the exact same problem. will be checking the water line to make sure is not obstructed and replace the inlet valve if line is ok.

    I did this to my dishwasher and seems to be my problem as well. Was going to buy a new one and this save me. Thank you!!

    your technique of shielding the water flow was very helpful. I was finally able to determine there was not an issue with waterflow...the top arm was flowing strongly. which led me to additional (repeated) cleanding of top arm debris, as well as double-checking that the assembly was seated properly. finally I got the top arm spinning again. I also let the washer run briefly with the top arm removed, to flush any debris. but I think it was debris, namely in the underside tip-of-the-arm position (the jets that cause the arm to spin). VERY glad I didn't order/replace a pump! Thank you for this helpful video.

      So glad it helped. I was actually looking at those holes when I was unloading the dishwasher this morning. I always seem to get some kind of debris in those last outer most holes. I sure wish that arm assembly was some thing you could take apart and clean. But it all seems to be one molded unit. Anyway, glad it’s working for you. Have a great day.

    • @condor5635
      @condor5635  Год назад

      Usually sticking a little pic or pin needle in the holes to break up any parts that may have been stuck in there and then flushing it and seeing if they come out and make the hole clear. As long as the holes seem to be clear of debris you should be good to go assuming pump and everything else is working, obviously

    that's not an overflow in the left front, that's the float level. if you're not getting enough water in the tub it could be scaled /junked up.

    • @condor5635
      @condor5635  Год назад +1

      That float level does nothing with respect to the water coming in initially. It’s totally timed the only thing the float does it turn it off if it has too much. That’s why if you have a blockage the float level will not allow it to continue flowing until you fill. It’s a stupid design and I think the float level should be in the feedback loop.

      Could very well be lack of water and hence pressure to rotate upper. Watch videos and ensure water amount is proper

  • @dragonspy91
    @dragonspy91 2 года назад +9

    This is awful programming. No wonder why machines aren't cleaning as well as they should be. .... There should be a trigger that says if water doesnt reach XX(XX being the sensor) by XX(60secs) time then alert user. Had this been programmed correctly, there would be an error code to alert the user ( Not enough water). Companies are getting lazy. I'm watching this because I need ideas with what's causing mine leaving food particles after every cycle. I have to rinse off my dishes as soon as the dishwasher is done or else it will dry food particles and film on the dishes.

    if water level is fine and still upper arm is not spinning then?

    • @condor5635
      @condor5635  Год назад +1

      Need to check pump then. Is water being pumped up the channel that supplies upper arm prior to the rotating arm? Lower assembly is spraying good? If bottom arm sprays good but upper does not I am guessing a blockage in the channel or something
