Easy repair from video
My dishwasher was leaking so I replaced this part which was easy to do with just a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. After the repair I ran my dishwasher with the access panels off and found out that the leak was coming from the solenoid and the drain valve seal. I ordered a new seal, push on nut and a solenoid assembly to try to fix my dishwasher.

Dishwasher Has Water Left in the Bottom
Removed filter screen with the socket set, removed the piston and nut assembly with pliers, and installed the new piston and nut assembly. Put filter screen back in with hex head screws. During the process, I opened the float regulator and cleaned it out too. Water backup problems solved.

Dishes were not coming out clean and water was standing after the wash cycle was complete.
Removed filter/screen by unscrewing 2 screws with a nut driver and then unscrewed the old Piston and Nut assembly and simply screwed in the new part. Problem solved and my dishes are much cleaner and the water is draining out completely. Easy fix for this frustrating problem.

Dishwasher not draining and not getting dishes completely clean.
First I removed the bottom dishwasher rack. Using a 1/4" nutdriver I removed (4) 1/4" screws from the drain cover that is inside the dishwasher all the way in the back. This will allow you to get to the piston and nut assembly which was easily removed with no tools by simply grasping and unscrewing. Used a wash cloth to wipe "gunk" from a
... Read moreround the threads. I then screwed the new piston and nut assembly in place. Used no tools to tighten, just "snug up" by hand. The seal on my old piston and nut assembly was 50 percent gone, not sealing at all. I guess the years had taken their toll. This solved my problem. The dishwasher washes and drains as it should. Super easy fix. Took me about 10 minutes to do the repair.

Water was not draining properly
Looked up Model number on site, checked "symptoms", and 64% of the time it was the Piston & Nut Assembly, which was correct. While I had it apart, I replaced Filter Gasket that was deteriorating, and lower spary arm that had a crack. Very easy fix.
follow instructions found here, with a little help from part diagram. Initially removed the sump cover but then removed the cover at the back of tub. This uncovered the Piston assembly and the replacement was a snap. Dishwasher now works well and actually cleans the dishes. Also did I mention my parts arrived the day after I ordered even

My dishwasher stopped in the middle of the cycle. There is standing water in the bottom. It has power, but it will not turn on. I tried moving the dial in every position but it is dead. Can you please tell me which part to order?
For model number GSD3200J00WW
Hello Hutch,
Thanks for your question. You may wish to test the door interlock switch with a multimeter for electrical continuity. Replace it if it shows no continuity. You may also want to test the door latch and see if anything has shifted out of place with the door panel.
I hope this helps.
Dishwasher will not fill with water, what am i missing. Replaced the water inlet valve and the sequence switch, both GE oem parts and still won't fill. When i manually fill with water to proper level dishwasher works like new, until it drains and cycles to the next cycle and it doesn't fill to allow the water sprayers to work and do their job. Checked float switch manually and it works but dishwasher doesn't fill enough for water to engage. Please help.
For model number GSD5560G00SS
Hello Jim, thank you for inquiring. This could be caused by either a faulty or defective Water Inlet Valve part PS259368, the Motor and Pump Kit part PS260801, or the Float Switch part PS260235. Try checking the water pressure to the valve. The water inlet valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. We hope this helps.

Part number PS260690. Does this part require a seal? If so does, it come with it?
For model number GSD3400G00WW
Hi Kelley,
Thank you for your question. There is a gasket that is needed for the piston and nut assembly and it is sold separately. The part number listed under your model number for the gasket is PS263956. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
