I reviewed a thread on this site that suggested removing the lower spray arm to start the process of troubleshooting a leak under my machine. I cant loosen the spray arm. I am trying to turn it in a clockwise motion. Is that correct? Do you have a link that discribes reparing pump seals on this model?
Thanks for any help

Here is your parts breakdown Replacement parts for General Electric GSD500X-73WB | AppliancePartsPros.comIf you click on the picture you should be able to get a better view of it. Looks like a standard thread to me so you should be turning it counter clockwise. Just in case it is a newer type, check out the following link under Ge units and then #16 http://www.applianceaid.com/dishwash.htmlI personally would troubleshoot a leak differently. I would remove the kick plate and then using a flashlight and a small mirror locate it from the bottom. A good mirror is the type used by auto mechanics sort of like a dentist's mirror only larger. This is not absolutely required, it depends on where the leak is. Also just taping a mirror to a stick works. Be sure to look higher up from where it is dripping as the water will run down and where it drips in not where the actual leak is. |

Thanks for your reply and info. I had previously done the troubleshooting proceedure you described and the water appears to be coming down through the connecting collar and then down through the motor. I believe I have to get the sprayarm out before any other disassembly can be attempted.
