Hi to everybody,
Ge GSD5500G00CC diswasher does not drain. My wife just told me about it 30 minutes ago. There is a standing water in the bottom of the tub. I will chech the drain hose to the disposal ect, and the float in the tub. If all of those check out ok what might be the problem?

Hi everybody,
i had a chance to dig into the dishwasher after work and found the problem.. a pistachio shell stuck between the inlet hole and drain pump impeler.. I took some pictures and hopefully these will help the people with the same problem diagnose their issues faster and makes it easiyer on them. i have one question.. How can i bench test the drain pump before installing it to the dishwasher?
Thank you
Sammy
Following is the pictures I took...
Drain pump and check valve housing
Check valve housing
Inside of the dishwasher
Hose between the drain pump and check valve housing
Check Valve
Some pictures..
Check valve housing taken a part, cleaned and put back together
Drain Pump inlet picture ( you could see the shell stuck in there..)
And Final picture is the Shell itself..caused me all kinds of trouble..

Regardless of whatever else might be going on, you have a bad piston check valve-- the gasket is boogared up and I could see daylight through it. Come git you one ==> http://www.repaircli...24X10018/821081

In the future you should hand wash your pistachios.

Sorry. I have been a few hours imagining pistachio washing.
To answer your drain pump test question, make a 115 volt cheater cord and plug in to the pump terminals. If it runs,it is good.
