GE QuietPower2 dishwasher began by not responding with either tone or lights when closing. Firmer closing worked for a couple of days, but then no response at all. Power has been checked. Want to dismantle this weekend to search for problem, but need schematic. Is it available anywhere?
Secondary problem, door gasket coming loose in one corner. Is there a tool to push it back in without damaging it? It seems sound otherwise.
Thank you.

The schematics are under the washer between the tub and a metal plate.

You can press the door gasket back in by hand.

The first thing I would look for is the door switch. Either the door is not closing properly the switch is bad or the door switch actuator is not hitting the switch. You will just have to take the door apart to find out. The front comes off the door by removing the screws inside the door and two screws under the door. Hope this helps!

Now that I think about it the door gasket may be your only problem. It may be causing the door to bind and not close properly. Try fixing the door gasket before you take the door apart.

Turns out the cover interlock (part number WD12X10272) which covers the Plunger SW interlock (part number WD12X10271) is warped (looks like by heat). Instead of the plunger going down to activate unit, it goes out of alignment.
Never did find the schematic.

Thanks!
