Chosen Solution

First, I have scanned the manual and searched for this problem. So many have had this issue, but it seems not with this dishwasher type, so apologies for asking about this issue if it is already answered. I have a GE GDF620HMJ2ES Dishwasher. I am about at my wits end with this thing! About two and a half months or so ago, I noticed that my dishes were not getting clean, and the pod was not dissolving. I diagnosed a split hose, which required me to replace the diverter, which I did. I also replaced all the other hoses as a precaution, and then I reassembled everything. The dishwasher operated as normal for about two weeks, but now I have a new issue. The machine fills with water (adequately, I am unsure, but there is water in the box). I will take it apart, tinker with it, trying superficial things. Then it seemingly works again on a light run with nothing in itq, so I try to run a load of dishes and nada. I took it apart again today, (the door assembly and all this time) and did a deep clean, and then I again replaced the hoses. Ran a basic wash cycle with nothing in it, worked like a charm. So then I loaded it up, put it on the usual settings (heavy, boost temp) and it filled the box and nothing. Sat for about ten minutes and then drained, almost as if it completed a cycle then pushed the water out. This has been the case numerous ttimes. If I end a/the cycle prematurely, the dishwasher just will not respond on any level (light, normal, or heavy), it will just fill, sit, drain, repeat. I have cleaned the filters numerous times, replaced hoses and parts, the only thing left to replace would be the boards, pumps themselves, and water valve. I am genuinely at a loss as to what it could be, and I have half a mind to just replace it! Any ideas as to what my issue may be?

Sounds like the drain pump solenoid is getting stuck in the open setting Drain Pump The drain pump uses an impeller to force water through the drain hose. If the drain pump motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t drain. To determine if the drain pump is defective, check the pump motor for continuity using a multimeter. If the motor does not have continuity, or if is getting power but won’t run, replace the drain pump. Drain pumps are not repairable—if the drain pump is defective, you must replace it. https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/…

Hi @kolfild22 Have you checked the temperature of the water supply to the dishwasher? According to p.5 of the installation manual it says to “Adjust water heater for 120°F to 140°F temperature”. There is also a heater element- part #101 body parts diagram which is used to raise the temperature but this can only raise it by some 20-40F. I cannot find a temperature sensor or thermostat shown in the parts list so I’m not sure how the control board knows whether the temperature is correct or not or whether to turn on the heater also unless the heater is merely a ‘timed” event so to speak only when Heated dry or Wash Temp boost or Sani is selected. Maybe the tech sheet mentions about the water temperature? Perhaps the heater element is checked to make sure that it is OK. Try using an Ohmmeter (disconnect power from the dishwasher) and check that the heater element has continuity and is not open circuit. Don’t know the resistance value but usually they are between 25-100 Ohms and definitely not open circuit. Looking at the parts for your model there are two pumps, the circulation pump -part #310 - sump and motor mechanism diagram and the drain pump - part #325 - sump and motor mechanism diagram Check if there is power getting to the circulation pump and if so check that the pump motor winding has continuity. There are other suppliers online that may suit you better. This was only to show you the parts and their location. Just search for GDT695SGJ2BB parts

I have a blanco dishwasher This has happened twice and both times it’s been the capacitor on the main wash circulation pump Replace the capacitor and away it goes for another year or so
