[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]My GE Profile dishwasher model# PDW8980L OOSS does not drain. I have checked and cleaned evey hose and filter and have the proper 18" loop. Every cycle works except for draining. I can see the motor spinning and hear the water cleaning inside. When the pump cycle starts I can hear a slight hum by the pump. The motor is not spinning at that time. Should it be and how can I be sure which part is defective. Is the Actuator wax assembly involved with the draining cycle?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

It was the drain pump.

DM,
Sounds like you have an inoperative, or jammed drain pump,
It is a separate component from the main wash/pump motor assembly.
and the wax actuator has no effect on the drain cycle,
Good Luck,
