I own a GE Triton XL dishwasher, model # PDW7800G00WW. Two weeks ago I noticed that it stopped draining water on the rinse cycle. I stepped through the technician troubleshooting sheet inside the dishwasher. I checked the operation of the drain pump and noticed that it would drain a small amount of the water in the bottom of the washer and then stop. I disassembled the drain hoses from the washer to the sink and did not find any clogs. I then disassembled the sump at the bottom of the washer to make sure there were no clogs there either and cleaned it all up. All the tubes and hoses from the drain pump to the sink looked clear. The flapper in the check valve also looked fine. I then checked the resistance of the drain pump across the terminals and got a 15 ohm reading. The troubleshooting sheet said it should read 30 ohms, so I figured I had found the problem. I ordered a new drain pump from appliancepartspro and installed it. I did a quick reading of the resistance on the new pump and got a reading of 25 ohms. I installed the new pump and got the same results as before, that it would drain a small amount of water and then stop, leaving the rest at the bottom of washer. So after that long winded explainiation. My question is , do you think the new pump is fine or does 25 ohms indicate that the pump is no good. If it the resistance reading is close enough, any other ideas on why the dishwasher wonlt drain? Thanks.
