After a few days cursing at this thing I rechecked everything and writing this as it happens.
Power turned off all day, put breaker back on, normal was light is on open door close door beeps Everytime you close.
Push start/reset close door water starts coming in starts to wash from what I can tell after 3 min. It pumps out. Rinse mode?????
Refills washes about 5 min. Then pumps out till what I think sounds like pump is running but no more water going into drain at sink. Then it shuts down normal wash light is on and also time delay and temp boost lights come on and start/relay light is out. after a few more min. All lights go out and all quiet for at least 10 min. I open door normal wash, time delay and temp boost lights come back on. Open and close door a few times beeps Everytime closing then temp boost light goes out and start/delay comes on.
I'm ready to rip it out and run over it with my truck, but wife won't let me.
Keep in mind this is brand new we bought it 2 yrs ago and only installed it few days ago, so no warranty and were sitting with a 950.00 dishwasher that doesn't work probably right from factory.
Can someone give me an idea of what I can check, I already pulled it out and checked around for loose wires

Hello,

You may want to run the dishwasher in the service mode as instructed in the attached tech sheet. Post the results.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for GE PDWT480P00SS Dishwasher - AppliancePartsPros.com

thanks Gene,
ran the test up/down sounds like pumps going
Delay hours button don't here anything
temp boost button, runs water into dw
Heated dry button does some huming of something.
On instructions seems there is one button more than I have.

Looks like you have to use the up and down arrow buttons too when you run this test.

Can you redo it please?

Same as above noted.
Up - can hear a pump
Down - can hear a different pump
Delay - no sounds nothing seems to happen ( unless it's the heater)
Temp Boost - runs water into washer
Heat Dry - Hear a humming noise of something

as you can see from picture I have 6 buttons, instructions is for 7 buttons.
Very confusing.

These results look good. Try to run the dishwasher again. If it would not do it right, call GE authorized service.
