GE Dishwasher Overflows / Won’t Drain / Leaks on Floor (GSD3220F00BB Check Valve Replacement)

Buy the Part from Amazon Here (It's Cheap!): amzn.to/3mqMXH0
Part No. WD24X10018 - Piston and Nut (also called a Check Valve). Our old GSD3220F00BB GE General Electric Dishwasher was overflowing and leaking onto our floor - soap and all. This quick fix solved it. GE WD24X10018 Check Valve Dishwasher

[@GJAndy]

My GE Dishwasher is a different model from the one in this video. Mine is about 16 years old has not been fully draining for quite awhile.. I pulled out the filters and cleaned them... They were full of broken glass and bits of plastic and garbage. Still didn't fully drain after cleaning.. After watching this video I removed the piston pump apparatus, as shown in this video, and it was all deteriorated and broken.. Couldn't believe that this little part would cause the unit to not fully drain... I ordered a new one from Amazon, got it here and I installed it... took about 4 minutes.. Now the dishwasher fully drains... It's great that you provided this useful information and part on Amazon and for making this video... It saved me a lot of time and money... Thanks again and do have a nice day!

[@lyncourt44]

I too had the same issue, bought the piston assembly locally for $15 and it was an easy fix. Same exact part #. I can't thank you enough for posting this video. TAADAA was also my reaction!!!!

[@brianmiller8814]

I am another thankful reader of Mike's solution to the dishwasher problem. I followed his instructions, bought the part from Amazon, and am happy to report my 21 year old dishwasher now works great I'm so grateful.

[@alanahlbrand3346]

I had the same problem with my GE dishwasher. Same culprit, yet my valve was almost totally gone. Found an appliance parts store that had one in stock, back together in 10 minutes, works like it did new 15 years ago. Thank you so much, you saved me $$$$$ as I was ready to buy a new DW today. Cheers !!!

[@liamginter4413]

Hey dude, can’t thank you enough for this video. I have a near identical dishwasher and little to no handy person experience, so of course it chose now of all times to crap out on me. You have saved my sanity for one more day.

[@dawnbritt870]

Oh WOW!!! I thought I would have to buy a new dish washer, but I’m going to try this first! AWESOME! Thank you so much!

[@aschadel]

You saved me a TON of time!! Mine was bad...replaced it and it works like new!! Thank you!

[@bhgemini]

Thank you. Didn't want to wit for the landlord, so fixed it in 30 with that part.

[@armandgrasso4727]

Just want you to know that because of your video I probably saved hundreds of dollars. The problem was right on. The fix was well explained. The steps were clear and most important the problem was exactly what you described. A $20 part from Amazon solved the standing water problem instantly. I am so happy. Thank you , thank you.

[@gakilhaden2109]

Poommoo

[@zzman5306]

Thank you! Exactly what was wrong. Cheap, fast and easy fix.

[@jamiedohrmann]

This solved all my problems! Thank you SO much for making this video. Peace

[@francisdereimer7953]

I was not experiencing leaking on my floor yet the bottom of the Dishwasher was filling with standing water. I took EVERYTHING apart in the washing compartment and cleaned it thoroughly. After reassembling went through a cycle, same problem. I thought the pump was possibly bad and was about to order a new one or even have a tech come out to fix and I HATE admitting defeat and paying someone to do that. Just as I did I came across Mike's video about checking the Check Valve. Sure enough, the small cone shaped piece had rotted and broke off. Found a local part distributor. gladly paid $20., put the new Check Valve in and I'm washing a load of dirty dishes as I type this. Works like new again, no more water collecting. Thanks Mike!

[@somebonehead]

Mine is also filling with standing water, I'll give the check valve a glance then.

[@curtisjmurphy]

Awesome! wish I had watched this before taking the whole dishwasher apart looking for clogs. For anyone wondering the exact same part covers a very wide range of dishwashers including my GE GHDD511L00WW.

[@XxLiMELiGHTxX]

This solved my issue as well! Thank you so much for this easy fix.

[@MrGuysVideos]

Nicely done, thanks for a clear, concise, well made video.

[@rodneyice3551]

AWESOME !!! You nailed the drain plug!!! 3-Pointer at the buzzer!!!

[@tamaraking9434]

Worked perfectly! Thank you so much! You saved me a tonne of work and money!

[@jeaninelewis3278]

Thank you so much for the instruction. $9.00 (part) vs $1100.00 (new dishwasher).

[@lsheremeta]

This video was a lifesaver. My GE Nautilus Power Scrub Quiet Power I unit had the same symptoms as described in the video. Mine is a GSD4238F02BB with the identical interior. The old Piston and Nut was nearly impossible to remove but I managed to get it out. The valve was shot. Works perfectly after new part installed.

[@youlikemike]

Great to hear!!

[@natashcollins9518]

Thank you saved my life 🙏🏽

[@izv6284]

Purchased GE WD24X10018 Dishwasher Piston & Nut Assembly from Amazon ($13) , followed the instructions on the video and worked great on my GE DISHWASHER model number GSD4030Z05WW. The dishwasher drained out in a normal fashion after the repair. Super easy repair.

[@mmung4u]

At 1:26, I am seeing very shallow water still left on the very bottom. Is it normal? Or should it have no water left completely, after rinse-dry cycle gets done?

[@5ChiLanta]

Thanks so much for this video! I had the same issue and replaced the same part and all is fixed now.

[@donalee5472]

Thank you. Looks just like my GE Profile.

[@naheedpervin3015]

Thanks! Ours is exactly the same. It helps!

[@robinriggins5415]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! it was the exact fix my dishwasher needed!

[@danieldorais9249]

Thanks a million!! Thanks to you my dishwasher is like new!! 👍👍👍

[@Spliftonful]

Many thanks! You solved my dishwasher problem!

[@rps4Christ]

This part fixed my problem! Thanks!

[@robertrutherford9057]

I had same issue, dont remember mine having the check valve in that location but the filters at the bottom are exactly the same. I couldn't afford to fix it so I tried dumping bleach and toilet bowl cleaner at filters and ran washer several times till the foam disappeared lol. Suprising, it worked. Drains completely... I will look for that part on mine and order one next month because I never get this lucky. Thanks for the video

[@crookeddealer7026]

Thanks, this is very similar to the one I have. Mine is all covered with calcium buildup and crud. I will order one from Amazon now.

[@robertraderjr6714]

Got my check valve for $6.95! That includes shipping too. Thanks for the video.

[@ralphalbury1075]

Thanks for the Video. I tried several different fixes but none worked. Then I watched your video and saw this valve that I did not know was there and sure enough that was it, Thanks for the Video.

[@pthefree]

You just saved me some money. Thank you a ton!!!!

[@ejlankaolcom]

I can not believe how cheap and easy it was to fix my problem. Thanks for the video.

[@youlikemike]

No problem! I still can’t believe that random part was the fix for my own problem!

[@Shantased]

Thank you so much for sharing. Great job!

[@bigw8549]

I have a Kenmore that is identical to the GE and its got the same problem. I'm going to buy a new part and see if it works. Thanks for the video. Looks super easy.

[@zacbolton4137]

Did it work?

[@oritoyacuanelosimus4209]

I thought my little drain was certainly not the issue, as - who cares if it's seal is all worn and busted, I want the water out, not in. However I had noticed while trying to ascertain why it wasn't draining correctly that some filth was collecting on the wrong side of the screen filter in the back, and that left me curious. When I saw your video, with you commenting that you were surprised this valve mattered I put the clues together, and ordered a new valve. Thank you.

[@plantcitychuck2551]

I have the same dishwasher and the same problem.thanks for the repair tips

[@kellyrichardson8177]

plant city chuck me too !

[@vickimcdonald4471]

Thank you! This one little tip will save a lot of service call $$$$!

[@Eibmozluver]

Holy cow, I have looked everywhere. Thank you so much for this video! I'm going to do this right now! Update if it works.

[@Chocolate_Nightmare]

Thank you so much for the video :)

[@wilsonmendoza2915]

Thank you Michael

[@danielossege4985]

I haven't tried it yet but I hope this is the answer to my problem. Regardless, thanks for posting this!

[@samd3272]

Problem solved! Thank-you.

[@maayongaga729]

Thanks I hope I can fix mine. No water coming out.

[@michellelafontaine93]

Amazing. Thank you!

[@sandraisabel9098]

God Bless you good Michael

[@adijo]

Thank you! This is helpful!!

[@russboyer6142]

I got that same one thanks your video helped a lot and my sock it was Rusty also haha

[@Godis1love1]

Thank you. Really helpful

[@randyjones818]

Hey thanks a lot dude. Really appreciate it

[@jamminnailswithapril7031]

Thank you so much that is excellent!

[@mcame32]

You are awesome! Keep doing videos this was the best video ever ever

[@ItzLOPEEEZY]

I hope this works but thank you for uploading. this is my exact model

[@xXdarkdekuXx]

Going to try this , and have a very similar model, looks the same inside.

[@raywu4075]

Hi Mike, thank you for doing this video. Do you know how to remove the spray arm?

[@beewear122]

Hi mike thanks for vid. My question is if you lift up the grate where the water drains is it still there?

[@natestanley6599]

I’m having a similar issue but our dishwasher model is gsd570r-35ba. Also there are not 4 screws holding a piece in place at the back, your video is helpful because I learned some things but unfortunately I’m not able to fix it quite yet. Anyone else experience this with a different but similar model?

[@andreabartongurney8778]

THANK you!

[@dkdc1256]

Thank a lot dude

[@pauleohl]

Your machine looks just like mine. I have GSD3800G00WW. Thanks for making the viduo.

[@youlikemike]

You're welcome!

[@scottmclennan3998]

do you have a video on how to replace the pump if it is not the valve?

[@littlemanoo]

Sweet thank You 🙏🏼

[@giathomas745]

Good working

[@danielsicurello869]

Thank you so much! Though, Can anyone explain what this mini piston function is?

[@macioluko9484]

Thank you!

[@andrewslama9794]

I took all of this apart, and my drain check valve looks fine, what other issue could there be?

[@bigfootanon6896]

Mines similar but I do not have a grate in the back like this one but everything else right on

[@naheedpervin3015]

Hi Michael, mine still have some water left at the bottom. How can I get rid of most of the water after the dishwasher cycle? Thanks!

[@crookeddealer7026]

Got any other ideas on what to try next? I replaced the float and still it would not pump the water out?

[@KZNOMAN]

Mike I have dishwasher gsd5130d00ww wont drain do you have video for this model the one you have video is similar but not the same and mine don't leak on floor just wont drain thank you

[@mmung4u]

I think I am seeing some water left in the very bottom (@ 1:27). A penny-size bubbles and leftover water, right? Is it normal, or no water should be left after rinse-dry done?

[@christinekenney8754]

Thanks for this video. Ours is draining fine but is starting to stink and I’ve never known if there’s a filter I need to clean or change. I can’t see anything that easily comes off so have assumed there isn’t a filter. Can you offer any advice about this? Thanks

[@sophiabright8371]

The 'collection basket' (no clue correct term) to the left is completely clogged. I am not sure what to do. I think I will add salt plus vinegar to soak it, and then run a hot water cycle. Baking soda + vinegar doesn't work. We ordered some dishwasher cleaner tablets but I suspect that's probably a very good money making scam. I will keep looking for a solution. Might get that 1/4" socket and try to remove the basket myself. My husband is disabled and cannot do this kind of thing any more. Thanks for giving me a clue!! It is a start.

[@qunhuang2724]

follow your video, it still has about one inch water remained there. checked the hose connected disposal. anything else i need to check? i took a picture.

[@leedomatic]

Had the same problem and the check valve in my dishwasher was beat up so I replaced it but the washer still doesn't drain. Any idea of what the problem might be?

[@GinoCento]

Great video but replacing Piston & Nut Assembly (check valve) didn't work for me. Based on some internet searches, guessing it's the Solenoid Assembly. Thanks.

[@mackenzie-heathermackenzie909]

How do you take apart and clean the arm????

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Wow,ok this is extremely weird but I had that exact part in my junk drawer, I've been pushing it to the side everytime I dug in there for something, for years. Yesterday i did a big cleaning, and i finally threw it away, cus i didnt know what it went to, it was in a package even, but just no idea what it went to of course,now I learn that is the part I totally need. I have no clue how that part had gotten into my junk drawer in the first place, ive worked on all my appliances except my dishwasher. Wtv can't be that expensive I'll order new one, but dang, goes to show, junk drawers aren't always just junk.

[@youlikemike]

That is so bizarre!

[@airllusion]

Saved me

[@AmyRigsbyPhoto]

Soooo can you show me how to clean this exact dishwasher I’ve looked everywhere

[@ajk2749]

My GSD3360K00SS is similar but not exact. The dishwasher was full of water (which I scooped out later) and the dial on the right of the front was not turning and was stuck in the rinse cycle. There was also a smell like something overheating but it did not smell like the typical (to me) electrical burning smell. I'm going to put in a work order for the building maintenance staff. They might just replace the whole thing. I did remove the spray arm and rear cover but nothing inside impeding water flow.

[@veelynn954]

GSD2600G00CC AF869332B Is what the tag on the inside of mine says, what part do I need because it’s not the same tag as yours but the dishwasher looks the exact same.. having a drain problem as well.

[@htroxell7233]

Now how about the lower level? Mine is all backed up with water. Same exact dishwasher as you. Thanks!

[@youlikemike]

lower level? surprisingly this one piece solved the problem of water being backed up in mine! :)

[@werewolf_gaming_roblox374]

It maybe the short hoseing lose it be at the drain pump/motor

[@feliciau3368]

Thank you 💕

[@alyssaperry2994]

So it doesnt drain until you replace it? I just took mine apart. It doesnt look cracked or anything. But definitely has some wear to it.

[@spazure]

Mine not only wont drain, but gets stuck on the drain part of the cycle and I can smell something burning, like rubber or plastic. I’m guessing it’s this part. I just need to get the tool, then I can check and see if that’s it.

[@bloomybaby]

How do I drain all the water first? I have kenmore inside looks the same. It’s only a turn dial though no buttons to start it.

[@youlikemike]

I just used a couple towels to sop up the water first

[@Wahinies]

Does it solve draining to remove it completely temporarily to test? In other words is a good one necessary for drainage or would the plug be something else?

[@bcham6567]

Wondering this as well

[@lecouvie]

I have ordered a new check valve but my question is, if I have removed the check valve, shouldn't the water drain?

[@ethangould5632]

Can you remove the plug and let it drain or do you need the new part in order for it drain properly. Im going to attempt this

[@youlikemike]

need a new part. the part helps seal off water from getting into the dishwasher.

[@mechanicgamerchannel8944]

Mines the same one only its white and is a portable model

[@pamelaprice1833]

Still runs on floor with new part installed?

[@Truckerraf]

Is this the reason I’m left with 1-2 inches of water on the ground as well?

[@youlikemike]

could be! i was shocked that this fixed it for us.

[@tomcat9930]

If the rubber on the piston is screwed up it wont seat and when it drains the water goes back into the tub rather than out the drain hose...easy money call.

[@lorida96rbbr]

I don't like Mike..... I LOVE Mike! Thank you so much for posting! This is the fix I need and parts ordered from Amazon will be delivered tomorrow. Divorce her and marry me! 😁😘❤️

[@missteenie14]

Hi, how did you get the valve out? I can not get it out. Need some help please and thank you.

[@uliasmom]

Same here! That's why I am reading the comments. HELP! LOL!

[@michaelconti1689]

It might have been answered, but once you replaced it, did it start draining? I took it apart, it just appears dirt, all intact. and water didn't go down. does it have to go back in? thanks

[@youlikemike]

I had to run the dishwasher after replacing the part

[@plantcitychuck2551]

That wasnt the problem with mine after i checked it out.the drain hose that dumps into the disposal was completely plugged and backing up into the washer.after unclogging it and flushing it several times it worked fine.

[@youlikemike]

john foy awesome! Thanks for sharing. I couldn’t believe this little part worked for fixing mine. Didn’t seem possible. I’ll try your fix if it backs up again!

[@Denny_E_Lee7575]

Same here John. thanks for the well Illustrated tutorial Michael!!!

[@Night_Mare786]

I'm having the same problem. How do you clean that hose?

[@NyxT-GyreX]

​@NightMare did you got yours clean? I having the same issue but I put water in the drain tube but it will not drain
