We have a 6 year old GE dishwasher (nothing fancy, just the basic
model) that has problems with rusty bits of rack getting into the
drain. I can clearly see bits of rust everywhere in the drain etc. We
also have problems with dishes not clean, spots etc. We want to
disassemble the pump and the drain, clean it out and re-assemble. The
way it's built, I can't remove the water spray arms from inside the
dishwasher and get to the pump from the inside (may be all dishwashers
are like this, I just didn't know that). I guess the only way is to
remove the kick plate and access the pump this way. Has anyone here
worked on a GE dishwasher and give me any tips on what to expect? The
manual doesn't have any assembly diagram. Any suggestions are
appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S: I have since got hold of new dishwasher racks so I won't be using
the rusty ones after this.

OP again. The model number is GSD2220F00BB. Does anyone know if it's
possible at all to remove the spray arm?

Bumping the thread. still looking for any suggestions.

Update to my own post.

We cleaned the drain pipe, spray arm and the insides of the pump. So
it now drains freely. We started the dishwasher to see how it will
run. We noticed that there's very little water coming in. We loaded
the lower rack with just two dishes facing up and there was hardly any
water in the dishes after 5 minutes of running. That's where we
stopped.

Tomorrow of course we'll check the water inlet pipe. The sink is right
next to the dishwasher and we don't have any issues with water
pressure or temperature in the sink faucet. Other than the inlet water
pipe what else should we check?

Any suggestions are appreciated.
