Ok
The solenoid in the link is not the one you installed. I sent it back and found the right one.
GE stands for "Good Enough" now days.
The older appliances I used to work on from the 80's and 90's never had issues like that.
Thanks for the tutorial.
Yep! My grandma's microwave from the early 80's still got the sketti stains I made when I was kid and it's still heating food. 🤣 Good to hear from you Texas!
The old GE's and Hotpoints from the 80's wouldn't burn up, but the damned pump shafts will stick inside the seals constantly. I can't count how many techs and supervisors I've caught trying to throw away a dishwasher because the pump shaft was stuck.
Wow once again another solenoid fried to perfection. Still have never run into this but have fixed several clogged dishwashers. Thanks for this tip!
Good to hear from you Scorpio!
Dude I just got quoted $500 for this repair! Thank God I found you. What a perfect instructional video, and I have the exact same dishwasher. Doin’ it myself, thank you so much! P.S. he wanted to charge me $200 for just the solenoid
Right on! Save that cash! Thank you so much for watching mcathawk!
The dishwasher costs like 350-400. Funny stuff
the people or the property is very fortunate to have you,abundance of skill and common sense.You are a great teacher .
Thank you for the kind words TV Computer!
After having fixed over 40 of these...or even just replacing the plastic arm...I have found that it is much easier and quicker to vacuum out all the water, pull the appliance out and lay it on it's back to do the repair. That damn C-clip is a pain to put back.
👍😆👍 So true! That C clip will make you cuss your grandma. 🤣 Good to hear from you Steve!
Helping out a newb maintenance man ...ty sir!

Wonderful repair. You are a credit.

Thank you so much for watching Guillermo!
Great video, thanks for the help. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for watching!
When you posted this video I laughed cuz I just had this same call on Monday & filmed the exact same video replacing the timer & solenoid, it's a small maintenance world skid bro!! I was going to edit it this weekend but I'll edit one of my other videos I have, but I will be editing the dishwasher video soon lol GE = Job Security 👍🔧
Right on Rich! I learned how to do it watching you do one a while back. Thank you, skid!
@@LexVance Nice! We learn from each other that's what's great about TH-cam & if your not sure about something you can look it up cuz 99% of the time someone has a video on it. You are spot on with calling it TH-cam University, I've used that line all the time ever since I heard you say it years ago. 👍
Thank you!
You're welcome Joel! Thank you so much for watching!
Great videos. I wish you had a video of working on a newer/fancier GE dishwasher, like mine. 😄
If I run across one I'll record it for sure 👍. Thank you so much for watching Andrew!
I just had to fight with our ge dishwasher to replace the spray arm base and now I see that this is probably my issue. I'd rather spend the money and fix it myself and save myself the extra money that I would have to use calling our property management company. I'm happy I found this video, will update after I get the parts I need for the repair.
Right on B! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks man!
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Thanks
Thank you so much for watching Honolulu!
Preciate that video skid!!
Thank you so much for watching tank!
This video helped so much. That damn c clip!!!
I've made many memories with the C clip. 😆 Thank you so much for watching!
Very helpful video, thank you Lex. How long do these replacement parts typically last? Is it even worth fixing it, or would it be better to just get a new dishwasher?
They can last years. Thank you so much for watching!
Former HVAC TECHNICIAN going back into property maintenance side due to “all trades” demand opportunity- excellent video!! Good job skid!! Do you use a GO- Pro cam?
No I use a Cannon Pro Shot G7 right now. It's on a mini tripod. Thank you so much for watching Vet!
Lifesaver
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Nathaniel!
Absolutely! My GE dishwasher is a pain, but quick question! Is the solenoid universal?
yeah this is very common , here in fort worth texas i do maintenance at apartments , i get maybe 2 a week with these damn ge dishwashers , it get old very quick lol
👍😆👍 Welp, thank you GE for the job security. Thank you so much for watching Korn!
Hi Lex Vance
I appreciate all your dishwasher GE videos as I am a new homeowner. The home we bought came with a new GE dishwasher but with in the one year warranty it broke down and a tech came to fix it at no cost because of the 1 year warranty. The dishwasher broke down again the second year, it was the timer it melted. We had to pay $200 for the labor and parts. If I can’t fix this dishwasher on my own which dishwasher in your opinion is the best to invest in? I can’t deal with this GE crap!
Thank you
I'm not a professional on dishwashers and I'd say anything other than GE will do. 😆 I have an LG dishwasher at my house and it been great for past 6 years. Thank you so much for watching J Meade!
The part in the Amazon link and the part you used are not the same parts…nice work slick!
The first 2 links are the same. 1st is the solenoid and the 2nd link is the timer. Thanks for the support Steve. 😆
@@LexVance lol no it’s not
Did GE recommend replacing the timers also? Get these burnt solenoids all day long
Yes, GE said the solenoids burn up because of the timer. So, I change the timer, too. Thank you so much for watching Bubba!
Fascinating... my 20 year old GE dishwasher that i always run on NORMAL drains fine on the pre-wash and wash cycles.. But, during the rinse cycle, it won't drain. Frustrating...
I hope everything works out for you! 🤞
Same thing I got going on Texas new property but solenoids are frying or the motor not starting all together
GE stands for "Good Enough'. 🤣 Thank you so much for watching Charles!
I have the exact same problem. Customer said the timer got stuck and then I looked and the solenoid burnt out just like yours. Can you save that plunger if you clean it up? I'm only finding the solenoid without the plunger it seems. My part # is diff than the one in your link.
If you can clean it up, I'm sure you can save it. Thank you so much for watching!
@@LexVance Cool man. I think I'll do that.😁
Is the selinoid part of the pump? Or is it the drainage pump?
On the GE, it's part of the pump. It only has one big motor that does everything. Thank you so much for watching Nancy!
Been a maintenance guy for 25 yrs....been there done that. Kinda thing...good instructions though
Thank you so much for watching Michael!
If I may ask a question..Im sure the solenoid is bad as it clicks and releases. When it engages, water drips from the bottom of it. I cant tell its source. Any help is appreciated
I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔.
After a bit more testing by running it, there is a very small shaft seal that leaks only when in open drain position, made it hard to trace. Solenoid shaft needed cleaning. tks
replaced the solenoid and the timer and now instead of not draining my dishwasher won't fill with water, any ideas? Float valve seems fine, same with the water inlet valve, the hose is turned on, so frustrating.
I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔. Did you turn the water off while replacing stuff?
I just made this repair and now my new solenoid is making this loud buzzing sound?? I tightened the screws and can’t figure out why. It wasn’t loud like that before. It almost sounds like a timer going off.
Try stretching the spring a bit. Just a little though. Don't over stretch it. I hope everything works out for you!
Hey Sir Lexus, I have a GE dishwasher from around 1989 that is very similar to this one, except for the style/looks. It drains fine when running, but after the unit sits up for a few days unused, water creeps UP from the bottom and starts spreading from back to front in a shallow puddle by about 1 inch per day. Inches long and wide, only about a quarter inch high! I find I can drain it back out by turning it on as a new cycle (empty w no detergent) and the first step is to pump out the water. Then I will catch the right moment before the spray and manually turn it back off. Days later there is a new wet spot.
Do you have any wisdom on something like this?
Weird. The only thing I can think of is water creeping back up the drain hose due a garbage disposal that's kind of clogged. If the disposal isn't draining well, water rises up to drain hose and goes back down into the dishwasher. That's a weird one. 🤔
@@LexVance Either you need to mount the drain hose up high to stop what Lex just described or you have a leaky water valve.
How lex been?
Great! Thank you so much for watching Joe!
Those annoying clips I think are called c-clips they are a pain to find. I use them when I work on the residents beds. Those things will fly and be lost forever
Yep. 🤣 Gone into the one sock abyss never to be seen again. Thank you so much for watching David!
Found this video too late, same thing happened to me and just threw this piece of garbage dishwasher away. I think the timer went away too. I mean the fix costs 50% of the dishwasher
Thank you so much for watching!
Water + electricity = skid toasty ! 😱
🤣😆😂 Thank you so much for watching Tim!
Need help with anything..holler
Right on Michael!
I know what you're talking about
Thank you so much for watching!
Oh my Gosh, he's using a Ryobi. Oh my Gosh.
Lol he didn’t say that in the video, I was waiting for it too
@@DavidCarruthJr me too, lol
I almost said it. 🤣 Good to hear from you David!
👍🤣👍
When someone says Water & Electricity do not mix. I always ask myself "why do they make electric water pumps"🤔
So true! 👍😆👍
Thank you so much for watching Sharp!
The place I worked at never wanted me to put a new timer in with the solenoid. (cheap) I would explain if the timer is hanging up its going burn up more solenoids. Those little clips I named Jesus clips because every time one flew off I would yell Jesus! These things burned up a lot.
👍😆👍 The clips are such a pain! Thank you so much for watching Rick!
Try using small needle nose to compress those clips on. Once I started doing that life got easier. Put one end on the outside of the clip and one end on that raised plastic part. I never worked on these but it works well for the e-clips on small engines.
Video topic.
How to handle/deal with work politics
I don't. I leave or the person I don't like leaves. That's the 2 choices I give them. And when you're so good they can't ignore you, they let the other guy go. Thank you so much for watching St C!
@@LexVance that's how I deal with it. Smile and wave and let my work ethic and skill speak for me
Pronounced 'soul-uh-noid' not 'sill-uh-noid'.
👍😆👍 Thank you so much for watching Rick!
