GE Triton Dishwasher Won't Drain Normal Cycle - ApplianceBlog.com

***Blavery*** · #1 November 8th, 2009, 11:15 AM

I've got a GE GSD5930D00WW dishwasher in which the water won't drain out of the tub after running the "Normal" or "Pots & Pans" cycles. It WILL drain out after just running a "Rinse Only" cycle though. I've removed the unit and checked the drain over to the sink for kinks, clogs, etc. and found nothing. I've removed the screens and cleaned them out, cleaned out the main pump sump, checked the drain lines, removed, inspected and cleaned the piston and nut assembly and removed and checked the flap valve as well. Under the "Normal" cycle, water will remain in the unit up to the level of the back screen. Any thoughts on where I can head next?

Thanks.

So what happens when it trys to drain after running the "Normal" or "Pots & Pans" cycles? Do you hear the motor running, but no water coming out? or no sound at all? Does the dishwasher just stop and won't go any further in those 2 cycles?

During the "Normal" cycle, it fills, washes, then enters the rinse phase in which it rinses for about 5-10 min, then fully drains (I opened to check), rinses once more for 5-10 min, then fully drains, then enters one long 20+ min rinse cycle. At the end of this cycle, it just shuts off, you can hear the timer maybe, but no pump or anything, just shut down.

Ok,

Possibly the sequence switch is the issue, another member had this same issue and
Post #4 here says that:
[FIXED] GE GSD5350 Normal light flashing

Here's the sequence switch for your model you can order:
Manufacturer's Number: WD21X10018

WD21X10018

Thank you, I'll give that a try and let you know how it works.

Ok, sounds good.

Unfortunately that did not work. Same exact problem as before even after the new sequencing switch. Any other ideas?

I've looked at the check valves and they seem ok to me, they're not torn or missing pieces, but maybe they are stretched or something I'm not noticing. Do you know the part numbers for the auxilary pump check valve, the piston check valve, and the drain line check valves? Maybe I'll just replace them all.

Thanks.

Interesting. Yes then its possibly the piston nut assembly.

Here's the Piston & Nut Assembly for your model:
Manufacturer's Number: WD24X10018

I've now replaced the sequencing switch, and I've replaced the piston & nut assembly, the check valve at the auxilary drain, and the other check valve on the drain line. Everything's the same, the tub will still empty on the rinse cycle, but on a wash cycle like "normal" or "pots & pans", it leaves water in the bottom of the unit. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Thats very strange, then its possibly the drain solenoid assembly thats causing it. But you may want to have a GE tech. come out to make sure, hate to have you keep buying parts to resolve it.

Here's the one for your model:
Manufacturer's Number: WD21X10060

Its #493 here:
