Dishwasher wouldn't drain
I googled a ton of options as to why my dishwasher wouldn't drain. I cleaned out the hose and took apart the dishwasher to try and clean the impeller. I looked at partsselect YouTube for instructions on replacing the impeller. The replacement was pretty easy!
There are videos on YouTube that demonstrate the repair process better than I can type. I will say I'm not certain why the dishwasher wasn't draining other than when I removed the chamber collection and repositioned the ball filter it would work as it should until the next time. Replacing the sump, chamber collection, and ball filter was

Were do l put the ball
For model number Gsd4000k00bb
Hello David, thank you for your question. The filter ball goes into the inlet sump. the filter ball blocks the path to the fine filter during the drain cycle. If its missing or jammed it can cause incomplete draining. Pull out the dish racks from the unit so you can access the bottom section of the dishwasher. Remove the spray arm and the filter cover from the bottom of the dishwasher. Remove the ball from the round tube that sits towards the back of the opening. To remove the filter, use some chewing gum, or sticky tack on the end of a straw and insert it into the tube to grab and remove the ball (if its still in the hole). Simply drop the new ball into that hole and reassemble. I hope this helps!

Where does the filterball go?
For model number Hda3500n00ww
Hi Leonard, thank you for your question. This part goes directly underneath your sump filter. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

When draining all water dose not drain what part is needed
For model number GSD2100R00BB
Hello David, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking and cleaning out the filter PartSelect Number: PS1765973 and sump PartSelect Number PS1765981. Make sure there is no damage or blockage. You can also check the Drain Solenoid,PartSelect Number PS1481923 to see if the plunger is moving up and down properly. If everything checks out good, you may need to replace the pump. Hope this helps!
Hello , Thank you for the question. Very sorry but we do not have the dimensions for this ball but it is sitting on a 1" grid in the picture. I can also verify it is correct for the model number provided. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

My filter ball is sitting inside the water divertor assembly in my dishwasher is this not the correct location for this model? I have had a sudden decreases in water to my mid arm that is so poor that the arm does not spin.
For model number Hdf330pgr3bb
Hello Brad, thank you for contacting us. The filter ball goes into the inlet sump. The filter ball blocks the path to the fine filter during the drain cycle. The filter ball is in the correct location. If the middle arm is not spinning and there is less water coming from it, it is due to the clogged spray arm. You may need to check the spray arm, part number PS16542477, to fix the issue. We hope this helps!
I have a 2 1/2 year old GE dishwasher Model # GDT535PSMBSS. In the small well under the filter, we normally have seen a small orange plastic ball laying in the well directly under the drain filter that we easily remove monthly and clean (the filter - not the ball). Yesterday the orange ball got stuck in one of the drain valves, causing my dishwasher not to work. I went to the store to see other new GE dishwashers, and none of them have an orange plastic ball in the well directly under the drain filter. I was able to remove the stuck ball from the valve, but I'm hesitant to reposition it freely in the well directly under the drain filter, as it might get stuck in the drain valve once again when I'm able to reoperate the dishwasher. Is the orange ball supposed to freely lay in the well directly under the drain filter, or is it supposed to be located elsewhere within the drain filter area?
For model number GDT535PSMBSS
Hello John, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, the filter ball lays freely under the sump filter. You just simply need to drop the ball into that hole. We hope this information helps!
