GE Profile Triton Dishwasher will not drain at end of cycle.
It will drain just fine inbetween cycles, like when I put it on light
wash, it drains inbetween wash and rinse. At the end of the cycle it will not drain though, still have 4 inches of water left in there. I tried to reset the system to force it to drain by pusing start 3 times, still doesn't drain, but at the very end of that reset it shoots a little water out of the drain. I have checked all hoses and they are clear, plus it drains fine inbetween cycles so it can't be a clog. the piston is find no rubber rot at all, I replaced that 2 years ago. If I disconnect the hose and lower the hose to below the water line it will drain, but very slowly at the end of the cycle. I did get it to drain once, they it started acting up again and will not drain at end of cycle. The solonoid seems to be working, I look underneath and it's moving when it should. anybody have any ideas? |

have you tried to clean the contacts?
I wonder which contacts I should clean for the final drain, on the timer or the drain solonoid. where is the final drain solonoid? |

Hi, Something that may help.... http://www.applianceaid.com/gedishdrain.html http://www.applianceaid.com/drain_wash.html#drain jeff. Appliance Repair Aid http://www.applianceaid.com/ Update on my GE Hotpoint, It turned out to be the wiring between the timer and the bottom of the dishwasher. I removed the timer and tested it with an ohmmeter and it was working fine. So after looking at the wiring diagram I guessed there must be a short between the drain selonoid wire and the water valve wire. Sure enough after following the wires through the wiring harness I found the problem where the wires pass through the hinge from the door to the bottom of the washer - age and continued flexing had caused the wire insulation to crack and the wire to fray and the two bare wires were touching one another. As a result when the water valve was getting power, so was the drain selonoid. Ted |
