Hi i have standing water in tub, so i replaced the piston nut and spring assembly part number GEH WD24X10018. I still have standing water in the tub. i see that there is a gasket valve body GEH WD8X219 that i purchased, do i need to install the new gasket or is it somrthing else??


Thanks rico824

I just addressed a VERY SLOWLY draining dishwasher's problem. In this case, the problem can occur with any brand.

In order for the dishwasher to be removable with water inlet, water drain and electric feed cable connected, all of those were installed with about 30" extra length. When the washer was last pushed under the kitchen counter, the soft rubber drain line was subjected to some bending pressure. That hose was sufficiently stiff when cool to resist converting that bending pressure into a tight kink bend, so its internal passage stayed widely open, allowing excellent drain cycle performance.

But through months of daily heating and cooling cycles, that same bending pressure slowly bent that formerly well-performing drain hose to slowly develop a hard kink which greatly restricted wash-water flow. Even though it was not clogged with debris, the flow restriction was very high, allowing only an unsatisfactory drain flow rate.

In my experience, when something like this occurs on one machine, It's probably also occurring on other machines. No particulates were stuck inside the drain line, yet it had slowly developed this kink blockage. One more thing to check. Hope this helps someone else. I'd not seen this mentioned in many forum discussion notes about poor dishwasher drainage.
