GE Nautilus Fills with water, then won't run

Dishwasher Repair
1

I have a GE Nautilus dishwasher. When you turn it on it fills with water
and then won’t run. As you turn the dial there will be a clunking sound
as it hits each cycle, but nothing else happens if you leave the dial
alone. (clunking sound comes from motor? pump? under dishwasher)
It won’t drain when you turn the dial, only fill.
If you turn the dial manually, sometimes it will run if you turn
the dial around the cycles three or four times.

Remove the toe panel and check if the pump motor makes a humming noise when it should run. If it does, the best solution is to replace the pump & motor assembly. It comes with the installation instructions.

Gene,
Thank you for your advice. I noticed that I could not spin the shaft on
the motor. Once I dissasmbled the pump and separated it from the
motor, the motor worked fine. I ordered a new impeller and seal kit
for the pump (part) (WD19X10032) and installed it. The motor shaft
is no longer binding on the pump, and now the dishwasher works fine.

I did not realize that the grater on the pump unscrews clockwise, and
the impeller unscrews counterclockwise. I found this out after I took
it apart. I coudn’t find instructions on the forum on how to dissasemble
the pump. Since I new that the grater was included in the impeller kit,
I broke it to get it out (without damaging the pump housing). I wanted
to make sure if the motor worked or not, before ordering parts. When I
received the impeller kit it had instructions (I assumed it would). I also
bought a lower rack to replace my rusted one. Thank you again for your
contribution, and I will be buying more repair items from this company.
