GE 24 in. Profile PDW7800 Built-in Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It looks like GE replaced two components into one new part for the rack slide. Do a search for WDX35X20994 https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/ModelSectionParts/PDW7800G00BB/3/0/0/0/UPPER_RACK_ASSEMBLY

Hello, there isnt much that you can do, there could be a number of problems. It could be a slight blockage somewhere from your drainage hoses to your pump. It could also not be spinning properly. If you want to drain the rest of the water out you will need to get your drainage hose and lay it flat on the floor to a drain, this will stop things getting smelly. You just may have to get a repair man in, I hope this helps.

Ours has a wire in the top rack that looks like it was made too long. I may try trolling it to see if that helps. Putting the to rack in the upper position may help as well.

Sounds like you might have done something wrong or disturbed the control panel to the wiring......I don't think that there's any other answer.

Some GE dishwashers have rubber check valves that expand and block drain hose.

Our GE dishwasher never did clean correctly. Then it died. WE bought a new dishwasher different brand . New dishwasher is cleaning great clean dishes now. GE Dishwashers sucks!

You will have to pull the unit out from under the counter and you need to remove the screws that hold the hinges on the bottom of the door in order to remove the door to service it.

What do you mean "bottom blade"? Do you mean the lower wash arm? There is no "adjustment" built into the dishwasher, but if it's hitting the heater element (or its supports), you might be able to bend it slightly. If it's hitting the lower rack, make sure your rack has all of its wheels attached, and that it's not bend down.

I'm having the same problem with my GE PDW7800's touchpad. the buttons to the right of the Start button are dying. I'm now having to play a dance between with the "button lock" mode and Time Delay to get it started. Unfortunately, the capacitive touch panels are delicate and have a limited lifespan. You're looking at replacing the touchpad, or buying a new dishwasher I'll be replacing mine eventually, but the lowest price I've seen is currently $230, so this is a fairly expensive repair. (That is why I've not replaced it yet. I can play the button dance game a little longer, but eventually it will cease to function at all.)

I think that the delayed use is engaged.  Wait an hour, and it will probably start up on its own.

door handle bent, straighten or replace

You can't access it from the cleaning chamber. It is on the bottom of the unit, so you'll have to remove the unit and disconnect the utilities (most likely) to access the bottom.

Is this washer new or has it been heavily used? Is the bottom of the washer covered with old food pieces or does it look clean? When it;'s supposed to drain do you here the faint sound of a motor/pump working or is it silent?

1. The spray arm has an aluminum piece on the bottom side of the spray arm. It kinda separates away from the plastic arm and as the spray arm turns, it hits the inner door liner. You can see the scrape marks it makes on the door liner. You can bend the aluminum edge upwards with needle nose pliers or try to make it tight to the plastic spray arm by pushing on he tabs. 2. If you have removed the spray arm make sure the thin silver washer is still inside the hole were the spray arm inserts use a flashlight and look inside that section. If missing, it can also make a noise.

Check if the water is getting heated in the dishwasher. Most likely water temperature if not adeqaute will not fully use the detergent and cause dirty dishes. This could be caused by heater which is failing.

See page 14 on in the operator manual for possible causes. http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-55016.PDF

Assuming this is a built in. Please check your circuit breaker to make sure that has not tripped.

SEE THE PARTS. God bless you

If your dishwasher is Leaking check the followingDishwasher Not LeveledThis is a very common reason for a leaking dishwasher especially if this was a new installation. The framing in a dishwasher is made up of mostly thin sheet metal, so if it is not sitting flat and level things can get distorted very easily. Door SealThis is not very common in most dishwashers. To check this look for rips and distortion of the seal. If it is ripped or distorted you will need to replace. Dispenser SealThis is a more common place for a leak to develop. This is easy to check, remove the front panel and carefully inspect around the seal for water dripping or stainage. If any is found replace the dispensergasket. Water Inlet ValveUsually it is the connection to the water inlet valve that ends up leaking. Check this connection ( there is usually some sort of adaptor between the valve and supply hose) for leaks. Check the connection on the back of the water inlet valve also. Ocassionaly a water inlet valve will leak around the solenoid in this case reokace inlet valveDrain / Circulating PumpSome dishwashers have separate drain and circulating pump. Some use one pump to serve both purposes. In either case you will need to check the housings for leaks along with all the connections. Some dishwashers have a seal that leaks down into the pump . This is easy and inexpensive to replace. Door LatchThe door latch can become loose or misalinged. Check both the striker and the latch. To adjust the latch you will need to remove the front panel and adjust switch until properly aligned. Door HingesThey can cause problems, but this usually only happens from opening a heavy load of dishes on the door. Occassionaly a broken spring or cable occurs. You will need to remove the toe kick and maybe the front panel to inspect.Use the VOM. God bless you
