Wow that was a great video. Thanks . Because of your help I repaired my first garbage disposal on my first day in a new property. I was so proud of myself.
Thank you so much for watching Jamal!
Amazing! I watched SO many other videos and NONE of them showed us this. Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome John! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this video ! I just finished putting a new belt on my dryer and was not ready for the dishwasher to go out the same day !! you saved me a lot of time fixing this !!
Awesome! Nice fix freestylerz. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much.. I am a single parent and have to do everything myself.. You are blessing to me😘
You're welcome Tamekia!
Even easy jobs like this needs to be done. Thing I like you can be a brand new tech and have this to start you career in the field. Always good to see these videos to show prospecting techs there’s a place to start for them.
Absolutely! Thank you so much for watching David!
Great video! I like it when they get straight to it without all unnecessary jargon. I understand the longer the video the more money you make or whatever but sometimes its just too much. IMO
So true! I don't like a lot of fluff in videos either. That's why I get right to it. Thank you so much for watching Marlun!
Awesome video…straightforward, clear and concise! Motor unlocked now and dishwasher draining like new. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for watching Mommy Cakes!
Crazy cause you seem like a magician to the residents but you really just hit a motor with a flathead. Cool simple repair. Maintenance is magic!
Thank you so much for watching Oliver!
Thank you so much for this video! I had my dishwasher completely torn apart, checked the solenoid, sump inlet drain and I got a little bit too far down the rabbit hole wondering why the heck my dishwasher wasn't draining. Then I saw this stupid video and was so frustrated with myself but I am so glad that I saw this. Sometimes it's the simplest thing. Now I am unfortunately far too intimately acquainted with all the parts of my dishwasher, but hey, it drains and I don't have to hate the way people wash our dishes anymore.
You're just making memories.
👍😆👍
Thank you so much for watching Ash!

Man that was beautiful just beautiful. Thank you Im the man at my job because of you.
Right on, Jamal!
Great video as always, Skid! One thing... New guys, don’t remove the little orange ball! I wish someone had told me that on my first one. Oops.
🤣 I removed the little ball too one time. Too funny! I have a video where I talk about the little orange ball and not to remove it. Thank you so much for watching Eric!
where does the orange ball go?
That was of great help. Exactly wat i was looking for. Thanks for sharing.. 👍😀
Thank you so much for watching Naren!

Nice fix Venessa! Thank you so much for watching!
Nice. Lot of new ones come with a covering over that. Swear Ive seen some with the access on the backside but not for sure.
Right on. Thank you so much for watching TechFive!
I was stoked when I realized this is the same dishwasher that I have, but apparently there's a different problem. Maintenance replaced the solenoid switch and it worked fine for a few days but again it's not draining. The motor works, there's nothing in the sump. When it stopped working I was doing a rinse cycle and I could smell something like electrical overheating (which is what previously happened) so I shut it off then. I'll be back with results if I find the answer.
They need to do the solenoid and the timer. We called GE and they said the timer stops advancing so it runs and runs and runs and fries the solenoid. So, do the timer along with the solenoid and that should fix it. Thank you so much for watching!
@@LexVance Thank you for your speedy reply! I just finished watching your video on replacing the solenoid and timer! I feel so lucky to find the exact same GE dishwasher that I have. The solenoid switch is indeed stuck in the up position and does not retract. I'll give maintenance a call again and explain this video to them.
Thank you. Just got it going again.
Thank you so much for watching V Tundra!
Excellent video! Thank you.

Thanks a lot learned a lot from this video

I found a nail clipper once.
👍😆👍
Doesn't everyone wash their nail clipper in the dishwasher? lol
Hey Lex, this is what I got going on I have standing water from using dishwasher as dish rack to dry dishes. I looked in garbage disposal for that knock out piece but it's been knocked out.Washer seems to work fine minus it draining. When I rotate knob through clicks which are different settings it gets to one that i imagine is the drain setting it just humms. What steps do you recommend me taking and in what order? Will the screwdriver trick to the motor work in my situation or is that if nothing is working? Please any guidance would be really appreciated. I have a hotpoint hda2100h70bb.
Try the screwdriver trick. If that doesn't do it then I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔.
@@LexVance ok I'm trying to spin the motor and it's spins clock wise but after I spin it using 2 screwdrivers to move it then hold it in place to move it along some more and always wants to go back a little bit should I keep going until it doesn't spin counter clock wise
I had a rubber side piece clog my out flow. I am not understanding why dishwashers are built where things like that could even fit down in there. You would think they would have a screen that you could easily pop out and clean like you do for dish drains. And the rubber piece that was clogging it was from my dishwasher the side of the door, it was to cover a screw or a hole and help seal it
So true! Thank you so much for watching Cheryl!
There is actually another trick to unlocking the dishwasher motor. Do the same as if you were getting something out from the waste basket, but instead feel around for the rutter, spin it with your hand and your good to go just put everything back together and try it out.
Right on! Thank you so much for watching Sharp-Lizard!
Where does the rutter get attached? Found it in the bottoms of the waste drain.
Another informative video, Thanks Professor!
Thank you so much for watching Snapper!
You would not believe how much shit broke this week. 3 gas dryers/ stacked. Have to pull them out to work on them. The irrigation just blew up. It was like a geyser at Yellowstone. Filled up a quarter of the retention pond. That still needs to get fixed. One of our golf carts died. I fixed that today. I'm going to do some serious fishing tomorrow. Watch and see if don't pull a 50 ponder out from the water. Where do you all send your new techs to take the EPA tests? We used Marcone, but they won't let anyone in. I called Johnstone. They stopped doing it. All I think of is the stupid college.
We sent techs to Johnstone. I didn't know they stopped doing it. Sounds like you're making memories over there. 🤣
Thanks for the videos. Am a new guy.
You're welcome Mark! Thank you so much for watching!
Hey Lex do I have to turn off breaker or anything to do this it seems like you didn't but I dont want to make that kind of error.
Yes, turn the breaker off for safety. Thank you so much for watching Joseph!
Awesome video. Thanks
You're welcome Troy! Thank you so much for watching!
Can you do more GE dishwashers?
Sure can. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you
Thank you so much for watching Andy!
Helped a lot thanks
You're welcome Matthew! Thank you so much for watching!
I have the same issue in my property. I did exactly what you did. Now motor is working good. But not draining. What else todo ?
I'd check the waste basket and hose. Other than that, I'd need to be there for this head scratcher.🤔
What if I tried turning the motor manually, and motor still spins, but still not draining? Any recommendations?
See if the drain silonoid rod is going up and down. It's on the motor. Also, the drain line could be clogged. Try sucking it out with a shopvac. Thank you so much for watching Crown!
What about a brand new dishwasher that isn’t draining ? Same model
Yikes! I'd be getting another one because the new one is under warranty. Id need to be there to see what was going on.
I watched your video about 3 months ago and fixed my dishwasher. Great video by the way. Now it starts fine but sometimes the motor locks up and I have to spin it to get it to work. No trash in the drain. Do I need a new motor?
Yes, it sounds like the motor windings are going bad. Motors are easy to install though. I have a video on my channel replacing a dishwasher motor.
@@LexVance Thanks man, have a great day!
How do u fix a dishwasher not cleaning properly. I took everything apart and put lime removal. Any advice
I just clean the waste trap and put in a new spray tower. If they still complain, I ask the manager to give them a new dishwasher. Thank you so much for watching Jose!
In addition what I usually do is make sure that the small holes at the propeller are clear, sometimes are clogged with limestone and no water circulates trough the holes.
Also brother tell them to use a rinse agent helps alot to keep the glasses clear.
Hey what would you recommend if the dishwasher doesn’t seem to have to pressure to push water to the top to wash dishes ?
Bosch is the best I believe.
@@LexVance
Bosch ? What’s that?
@tonyward3161 A dishwasher. A little expensive but top of the line I've heard.
@@LexVance
Oh ok. Thanks a bunch
Is the tool for the screen bolts 1/4 inch standard?
Yes
@@LexVance awesome thanks would a 6mm work also?
Good 1 Sir Lex-A-Lot ...
Thank you so much for watching Eddy!
I have a dishwasher same model motor runs but does not drain. Solenoid engages but still will not drain.
Oh no. Make sure the little hose behind the spray tower is pushed down good. I've seen those pop up making the dishwasher not drain. Also, I've seen the propeller on the motor come off. That will cause it not to drain. You'll need a new motor if that's the culprit.
Hello lex. Have you worked on this ge spacemaker ge stackable washer and dryer model GTUP270EM0WW. I just started to work on a property that is has problems like it doesn’t finish the cycles. Please help. Fyi. I tried replacing the lid lock but no luck Thank you
No I haven't. Make sure the timer is advancing all the way to the end. Could be a bad timer that's stopping mid-way though.
Is this Model of Dishwasher not supposed to fill on Hot Start or Heavy?
No, on hot start it makes a priming sound then starts to fill after a minute or so.
What about if I found that “boat propeller” / rutter just sitting in the bottom of the waste basket. Where does that get attached to???
Oh know! Its suppose to go on the shaft. It may be unrepairable. Sorry 😭
@@LexVance Preciate ya! What does that pet actually do? Most likely getting anew dishwasher but still good info to have.
@@kurtisgutman Chops up food particles that get into the waste basket.
Empty dishwasher of water and dishes. Take out filter and clean. Pour cup of 30% vinegar (from Home Depot) into dishwasher tub. Place another cup of the vinegar upright onto bottom tray. Run through regular cycle. Repeat four times. Then pour two cups of baking soda into bottom of now cleared dishwasher and run again through complete cycle.. vinegar will remove rust and the accumulated muck. Enjoy.
Thank you so much for watching!
This works on whirlpool
I haven't tried it on a whirlpool yet. Let me know if it does.
What about when you do that and it get free any tips?
If it doesn't break free, try some wd-40. If that don't do it, you'll need a new motor.
What should I do if I broke the tab?
You'll need to order a new spray tower.
@Lex Vance thanks. I got the dishwater to drain, but I broke the tab because I was checking to see if it needed to be cleaned. If I had watched your video before the other guys, I wouldn't have touched it.
Great job👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching MudFlap!
What if it starts and all just doesn’t drain?
Could be a bad solenoid. Or, could be something blocking the pump/drain hose. Or, could be a bad timer.
Phenomenal
Thank you so much for watching Angle!
@@LexVance Do you have any video techniques for fixing vertical blind
I did all this but it still won't drain and water gets higher. Any other tips?
Oh no! The pump motor may be bad. I'd need to be there for further instructions to see what's going on. 😭
Just got a dishwasher with a Jammed motor. I did exactly this for over 5 minutes, i spinned it and spinned it with two flat heads and it still doesn’t unjam. 😔😔
Noooooooo😭 Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes you got to replace.
The resort I work at using GE dishwashers. We have several issues with the solenoid burning and locking up. Anyone else having the same issue?
I haven't had that issue but my pal Rich who has a youtube channel as well has that problem. He has a video changing a melted one out. Thank you so much for watching Joe!
If it burns up a second time, replace the timer also.
Use better Dishwasher detergent!! Sorry sorry I hear this too often hahah
What about if the motor turns on but don't drain
I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔. You may have a bad solenoid. It's by the motor usually. Thank you so much for watching Rosa!
Let's see... Do I want $65 labor to repair this dishwasher, or do I want $129 labor to replace it, plus get $20 to "dispose" of the stuck dishwasher and then refurb it?
Or... Do I want to be an apartment tech and do it for $16?

Residential
Right on! Thank you so much for watching Tom!
@@LexVance - Hey buddy.
Thought you'd enjoy looking at a residential rent home work order, and my email with the tenant and property manager.
I do almost everything with texts or email to facilitate documentation and a time stamp.
As you can see, it's going to be a very profitable day's work for me.
Cheers,
Tom

What fucking bullshit .to write about something like this
Where is the drain cycle?
Slowly spin the dial until it starts draining. That's what I do.
OMG I a,ways replaced that motor in the past. Oops
All good. Now you don't have to. 🤗 Thank you so much for watching Justin!
