I have a GE dishwasher, model # GSD3220z02bb that is not draining.

I've:

  • cleaned out the drain in the bottom of the tub, the flapper appears to be flapping.
  • cleaned out the drain hose all the way to the garbage disposal
  • with the power off, turned the blades on the motor - they spin freely in both directions.
  • after spinning the motor, powered up and ran a cycle with no different results.
There is no air gap.

The solenoid appears to be fully traveling as the cycles change.

There is no water leakage on the floor under the machine.

My thought is to just replace the motor assembly and solenoid and be done, but if there's a cheaper/ easier fix, I'm up for that as well.

Grateful for any thoughts/ help that could steer me in the right direction.

Thanks all.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for General Electric GSD3220Z02BB Dishwasher | AppliancePartsPros.com

Need more info:
Does the pump run when it is supposed to be draining?
If it runs, is it spraying water out the spray arms?
When in wash , does it spray water out the spray arms?

Note: That getting tech info on a GE is a pain as they like to keep it a secret.

Here is a good link that may help

The pump is running/ pumping

Water is spraying out the spray arms.

Upon further review, I detached the hose from the garbage disposal, rigged up a fitting with a quick release valve and attached it to my air compressor. A shot of 50 psi later through the drain hose, a wet paper towel was stuck to the top of the washer.

Run 2 cycles and it seems to be draining well.
