GE Profile Dishwasher will not completely drain

Dishwasher Repair
1

My GE Profile dishwasher, PDW7880J10SS recently started leaving standing water in the basin up to the height of the heating element. It will not run until I remove the standing water with a wet/dry vac. Once the water has been removed, the dishwasher appears to run normally, with the exception of leaving standing water at the end of the cycle.

Actions I’ve taken:

  1. Removed and inspected the filter sump and cover assembly, nothing found.
  2. Removed the lower spray arm assembly, nothing found.
  3. Inspected the fine filter assembly, nothing found.
  4. Removed and inspected the dome float and float, assembly, appears fine.
  5. Removed the drain hose from the garbage disposal, ran a wash cycle, no water expelled from the hose.

Any trouble shooting ideas? Could it be item #325 the Pump Drain Assembly has gone bad?

Thank you.

Yes it could be the problem.
If it is getting 120 volts when it should be draining and is not running then it is toast.

I would disassemble it before ordering anything just to be sure something has not jammed it and also that the flappe vale and hookups are OK.

Thank you denman,

Thanks for the prompt reply and expert advice.

I replaced the pump drain assembly and the dishwasher works fine.
