I need the complete service manual for GE Dishwasher GD510PSD2SS

[humbleguy]

Manufacturer: GE

Type of Appliance: Dish washer

Model Number: GDF510PSD2SS

Have you validated the model number at an online parts site like Repair Clinic? (yes or no): Yes

Have you watched the video on how to search for manuals and have you searched the Downloads section prior to posting this request? (yes or no): Yes

I searched and did not find a file to match this model #. I would like to get the exact service manual for this model to help me troubleshoot. This is my first dishwasher repair and I'm hoping for the whole service manual. Thanks

You should be able to use this service manual:

Just a "head's up". There are a few common failures that the manual and tech sheet either ignores or is wrong about:

If it doesn't heat, check the flood switch. If it's all crapped up, it won't heat water and won't have a heated dry but I believe will pass the "heater test".

If the green light on the board is solid or continuously blinking, replace both the main board and the UI. The tech sheet says to just replace the main board, but I always ended up with a call-back. Since I started replacing both, no callbacks at all.

If the upper and middle wash arms don't get water and the diverter isn't diverting even though the wash pump is pausing correctly, check the seal between the pump housing and the conduit that goes to the middle/upper wash arm. If the seal is damaged or missing the diverter doesn't work.

It's actually a really nice dishwasher and easy to fix once you learn it's quirks.

Thanks @Terry Carmen and @Captain Dunsel. It's a dishes not drying complaint. This is a rookie question but here it goes lol. Do you uninstall unit to test heater and flood switch or do you trouble shoot it from the board? Just seems like the same amount of work involved with dishwashers. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

You can check everything from the wires that plug into the main board. The expected values are on the tech sheet.

However if it's a "not drying" complaint, bring a flood switch. And some needle probes.

There's a thermistor in the flood switch. It should read about 10.5K ohms @ room temperature. The specs are in the tech sheet. Connector J711, pins 3 & 5. If the resistence is wrong, there won't be any heated water or heated dry.

If you need to replace the flood switch, it pulls out from the inside of the dishwasher after you remove the retaining ring. It does not unscrew even though it fees like it does. Don't ask how I know this. 8-)

You can watch a youtube video. It's a lot of "taking apart" but not difficult.

Happy to help!

Once the heat is working, if you can get them to leave it on the longest hottest cycle with heated dry and sanitize on, the inside will stay nice and clean and so will the flood switch.

If they "save energy", you'll be back in a year with a new flood switch. 8-) Somehow being all crapped up with mold and scum kills it.

Ok, thanks for the info
