Hi My GE Triton III GDS5260 dishwasher will not drain, this is what I have done so far: 1) Hoses are clear 2) Piston check valve assy thingy new 3) drain pump new
Took hose off exhaust outlet and ran a rinse/cancel, no pressure coming out of outlet (just gravity drain) except just as washer finished cycle a brief shot of pressure.
Does this then indicate a sequence switch?

I just ran a test cycle per sheet I found wedged under dryer. If I skip through to step 12 which runs the Aux drain motor for 75 sec it drains like a charm what is stopping it from doing this during a normal cycle? :confused:
I am running a normal wash empty right now.
Edited: OK ran regular wash cycle and I heard it drain into the sink on every cycle except the final rinse. I suspect the sequence switch but would love some way to confirm its not the control board cause they both cost 70+ bucks and I have already blown 70 on a pump I didn't need. Grrrr.

Your description sounds as though you've correctly identified the switching circuit as your machine's cause for not performing the final drain sequence.
Some dishwashers have a front panel button allowing manually triggering a drain cycle. If you do that when the wash sequence ends but before heating coil drying, you might be willing to live with that manual intervention step as a solution.
But I've seen heating coils operate over water-filled dishwasher sumps due to final drain failures like what you've described. The result is often lots of steam and water vapor production with poorly-dryed dishes. One with a black front and front air vent developed an unsightly white surface covering around that air vent. Anytime I see one of those, I immediately expect to find a drain system problem. After correcting the drain problem, cleaning the black plastic front with vinegar or another acid cleaner like Lime-a-way restores the clean black appearance.
More information for you. The choice of how to deal with it is yours. John
