My GE Dishwasher stopped heating. I replaced the dishwasher heating element but it still did not work. The end fix ending up being to replace the Flood Switch, which has a thermostat unit built in.

If the switch doesn't resolve your issue, check your heating element, look for any signs of breaks or cracks.
Also, I believe it's important to prevent the root cause to keep from having to replace this sensor every so often. We were, for the longest time, using the good dishwashing detergent. We ran upon hard times and ended up using the cheapest stuff we could find. After 2 months, it wasn't cutting the grease we were putting through the dishwasher and it backed up the sensor. I tried to clean it but nothing but replacing it helped.
Do yourself a favor and use good products in your dishwasher. Below are the links to products we use in our home. Try to clean your dishwasher at least once a month with the Allfresh dishwasher cleaner packs. The Cascade helps to break down all of the grease on plates.

3 years later you did an awesome job explaining with a detailed step by step explanation
Thank you!! I sure hope it helped!!
This was very helpful, thank you for dumbing it way way down for us who need a lot of help ❤️
I definitely like to make videos that pretty easy to follow. Glad it helped out!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Five weeks and two "repairmen" later still a broken dishwasher. Not heating or drying. Watched your video and ordered the flood switch. Came today and in 15 minutes we had it fixed! Did I say thank you?!
Donna Fine Thank you! I’m glad this worked! Have a great day.
Brother...you're a lifesaver! Thanks so much for this! At first I was like, "Welps...guess we're gonna have to buy a new dishwasher." But, then, I figured, "Let's check UA-cam first." and, there you were, bro. It's cleaning and drying everything like a charm now! You're the GOAT!
Woohoo!!! Thank you! Glad it helped out. Have a great day!
I know this video was posted a while ago, but it sure saved us some money! We have extremely hard water and noticed slime all over the inside of our dishwasher and the water not heating. This was what fixed it.
Glad this helped out and got your dishwasher going. Have a great day!
Amazing! GE dishwasher stopped heating and drying. Ordered this part off Amazon and installed it. Perfection! Saved hundreds of dollars. Thank you!
Glad it helped!! Thank you!
Replaced the fudge switch and the washer is now heating and drying. Praise the Lord. Thank you sir.
Glad to help out
As a single mom ,this was awesome!! Thank you for the step by step! You saved me $90 for a repair man to come out and do this :)
Amanda Daughtry that is so great to hear! I bet that was a great help right before Christmas. Have a wonderful day! Thank you for your comment.
This worked great. Thanks so very much for posting this. I did #1 but that didn't do it. But #2 worked great and even people who have never fixed anything could do it. My daughter and I thank you.
Glad this helped out!!
Thank you! My dishwasher wouldn’t warm: I tried the obvious step of replacing the heating element. Didn’t work. Was resigned to buying a new one when I found this video and it worked. Great explanation to help a not so handy guy. Just wish I had found it earlier, would have saved me spending $70 on a heating element.
I try to get the word out but unfortunately it seems people only find it when they have 1) replaced the heating element or 2) have been told by a repairman to buy a new dishwasher! Glad you found it before you replaced the whole thing though. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you. This helped me. I never had a dishwasher before and I hate washing dishes but don't got no money. Then I found this gem in s ditch and accepted it as a gift from God. I expected it was broken but that's no problem. Since I'm basically a mechanical wizard, I fix everything. So it was missing it's door latch interlock switch assembly so I bybassed that and brought it life. Shit started happening but it wouldn't fill with water. I bench tested the water inket valve and it works fine. So the orange wire comes over to this part which is identical to that which you just replaced. Mine is probably jammed up or something. What would really help me is knowing how it works inside. I'm going to take it apart and clean it and gain an understanding of how it works and then plastic weld the cage back on and put it back in. And hopefully I never have to wash a dish again for as long as I live. Hurray! Thanks man dude. Video was a little long. I like videos that assume the watcher is actually not a complete idiot but I guess there are actually a surprising number of idiots. Few wizards. I did thumbs up tho. Just because you have good personality. Ok goodbye
One tip I might add. While I struggled a bit to remove the wire harness from the flood switch, I was fearing that the harness itself would fall back through the hole when I tried to separate it from the switch. So, like the idea to put a paper towel in the drain hole, I put a paper towel in the hole at the bottom of the well to prevent the harness from accidentally falling back through it. I did manage to successfully unclip the harness without fear. Great instructional video!! Thank you.
Great point! It would be a pain to push that back through the bottom if it did fall through. I appreciate your comment. Have a great day!
@@BreakFixRepair My pleasure. But, Thank You most of all for your very helpful instructional video.
I almost did the exact same thing but I got lucky. Good idea!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind feedback. Have a wonderful day!
Yeah that happened to me and I needed needle nose pliers to get them out haha. It was a pain. Good suggestion
I could care less if you had music or not, you saved me money!!!! Thank you for this step by step. I do have one suggestion for those that are having issues getting the screws out. We found the quarter inch nut driver didn't work. We had to use a 6.5mm nut driver and my husband's drill. Worked like a charm!
Thank you for your comment! That’s the first I’ve heard of the 1/4” nut driver not working. Now I’m wondering if some models came with different size screws! Thanks for the great feedback! Glad this helped you out. Have a wonderful day.
My dishwasher stopped steaming and heating. It works again after replacing the flood switch! Saved me hundreds of bucks. Thank you, man!
Thank you. Over night the part from Amazon fixed this morning 15 min with help from my wife. Perfect!
Perfect!! Glad this helped you out. Thanks for your comment!
This video was amazingly thorough and got me through the entire repair. Glad it didn't have music though.
Thanks! I stopped putting music in the videos but I get less views now :(
Thank you so much!! I ordered this part and fixed it myself. My husband now thinks I’m a genius “engineering” type. 😂 I watched another video and fixed our LG refrigerator! I’m on a roll!!🤣🤣🤣
😂 woohoo!!!! Glad to help out in at least one of your endeavors. lol
This video saved my marriage. Thanks so much it fixed the heating problem and worked exactly as you showed it. Cheap but easy fix.
LOL! Glad this helped out! thanks for your great comments. Have a wonderful day!
BLESS YOU, YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN! Our dishwasher hasn't been heating properly for months and I am SO cranky I didn't find your video sooner! The hardest and longest part of the whole process was waiting for the flood switch to arrive after I ordered it. It was a breeze to replace thanks to your video and now my dishwasher is working perfectly again for less than $25! THANK YOU!
That’s just awesome! So glad to have helped and glad your dishwasher is working well now. Have a great day!
I just want to thank you for this! It fixed ours! My wife was going nuts having to hand wash and deal with the kids. You're a lifesaver dude!
These are the kinds of stories I love to hear!! Glad to have helped!
Where'd you buy the replacement from?
@@decodyg484 link is in the description
@@BreakFixRepair thx bro
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
Thank you for this. You were the only one who talked about this repair and it was super easy to do and fixed my issue. I try to clean my filter somewhat regularly but never even thought about what was underneath, when I took out all the pieces there was so much gunk build up it’s no wonder the flood switch got clogged and stopped working. Thank you again!
Glad this helped!! Thanks for the great comment!
Thank you for your excellent help! I listened to your first UA-cam and ordered the part. It was delivered today. I started to do the replacement and realized I needed more instructions. Listening to this video was extremely helpful. I appreciate all your tips and cautions for handling those 2 little screws and water! All done and testing right now. I am one of those “women” you mentioned, in fact I will be 74 years old on Friday. Here’s a tip for you, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12 Thanks again.
Thank you. Glad to have helped. Also appreciate your kind words. I am very much a believer. Have a wonderful day.
I just replaced using your video. Thanks so much!!!! I would of had to call a plumber or electrician for 400.00. Did the job in 15 minutes. Thank you again!
Glad it helped out!!
I was about to pull the plug and buy the heating element, but I found your video and that's exactly what it was, thank you!
Glad it helped!!
Thank you for the advice on what could be wrong and the step by step video how to fix, it did the trick! You are thorough, good tips and tricks and nice sense of humor. From someone having no experience in troubleshooting and repair work, I was able to install this in like 10 minutes start to finish, between UA-cam and Amazon, I've become a regular handywomen!
I’m glad this helped you out. It’s really an easy install, just hardly any info on the internet on what to replace to fix it! Glad this helped though, have a good day.
Thank you so much! I almost went out and got a new dishwasher! This was such a simple fix, took me 15 minutes total including cleaning all the pieces!
I’m just glad this helped another person! Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Another thank you for your video. My GE dishwasher stopped heating a few days ago. I watched your video, removed the flood switch, and found it did not rattle. I ordered a new one from Amazon for less than $20 and replaced it yesterday after work. Problem solved! You made me look like a hero.
Haha you are a hero! Glad it helped out! Have a good one.
Thanks for saving me a bunch of time. My GE stopped drying, I had already bought a new element, but decided to try the flood sensor first - Took the old one out, the ball was completely gummed up in there. Swapped it out, and my dishwasher is happily steaming my BBQ utensiles right now.
Nothing like having clean dishes for fresh BBQ! Glad to have helped
Thank you! This totally worked! We now have steam and heat in the dishwasher. So happy we skipped the repairman!
Thank you! Glad this helped you out! Appreciate the wonderful comment. Have a great day.
Thanks for the video!!! This was exactly what was wrong with my dishwasher. I tried to salvage the old float switch, but it didn’t take. Ordered the part you listed and fixed it 5 minutes after the part arrived. Thanks again.
Thanks for your great feedback Todd. Glad this helped you out! Appreciate you watching!
"Plug that hole" Best advice ever! I learned the hard way, trust me do this! Great honest video!
lol! I did too. I dropped a screw in there the first time. It was terrible!!! Thanks for the great comment!
Thanks so much for the video! I was able to replace our flood switch all on my own! Your instructions were very clear and helpful. Really appreciated the tip of plugging the hole. Thanks for saving our dishwasher!
Woohoo!! So glad to help! Hope you all have a great day.
Thank you so much, your video helped and water is finally coming out to wash. I was nervous we would have to buy a new one.
I’m glad I helped out. New dishwashers are so expensive!
Thank you! Just used your video to repair my dishwasher. I was about to buy a heating element until I saw your post.
Woot! Glad this helped out!!
IT WORKED!! Thank you so much! Very clear instructions! I used a shop vac to clear up the standing water. The float switch saved me from getting a new dishwasher! Now my dishes are dry and hot again when I take them out. Also.. I've had my dishwasher for 7 years and didn't realize there was a filter to clean out. 😳 I know! Gross!
It’s hard to know what exactly to do with a new dishwasher, at least it’s working now. I put out a video a while ago detailing preventative maintenance (like filter cleaning) that’s pretty easy if you want to take a look. Glad this helped so you didn’t have to buy a new dishwasher! Have a great day.
I watched your video two days ago and replaced this part yesterday. The float/flood part was definitely bad because it didn’t make a sound when I shook it. Put the new part in and the dishwasher wouldn’t start initially. I unplugged it for awhile because I decided to look underneath the dishwasher for a bit. When I plugged it back in it beeped! I ran an empty load with vinegar to give it a good cleaning and checked for leaks. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I have to replace the detergent dispenser. 😊
Sorry for the delay but glad you were able to get it going again!! Thank you for the comments
I had watched your video: (GE Dishwasher not HEATING or DRYING or CLEANING dishes? TOP 4 FIXES), I got to number two and the dish washer is working fine now.. Thank you.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching!!! Glad your dishwasher is working again!
Thank you this 100% worded. I even dropped the screw like you said not too. Lucky I fished it out with a magnet.
Lucky!!! I had to pull my pump apart to get mine out the first time!! Those paper towels to block it come in handy. Glad it helped out though. Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks! My DW stopped drying/sanitizing. This solved the issue right off the bat. Saved me hundreds on avoiding on getting it serviced.
So glad to have helped!
Ordered a new flood switch and waiting on it to arrive so I can install that bad boy.
sweet! let me know if it works!
I owe you a beer brother!!!
My wife wanted to buy a new $750 dishwasher and I suggested trying to fix this one myself and thanks to your video that is exactly what it needed to get the heat back on!!!!!
But the part cost me $55 not 25
Prices have certainly went up since this video was made. Glad it helped. Definitely a lot cheaper than a new dishwasher!!
Thank you for this video. My parents were getting ready to sink alot of money in a new dishwasher. I put this in and it fixed it. Saved them money. Thanks again!!!
Glad it helped out!!!
Thank you so much for the clear directions! I have not yet taken on the task but I wanted to watch the whole video to see if it was doable. It is!! Onward! 🎉
You can definitely do it! Be sure you have a nut driver and towels handy!! If you run into trouble comment back and I’ll do my best to help.
I did this over a course of a few days as I waited for my part to arrive in the mail, but everything worked like a charm. I notice the flood switch that I took out of the dishwasher I could not hear the ball inside of it. This video was very helpful!
Thank you! I'm glad this helped yet another person! Have a great day!!
Stumbled on your top 4 fixes and am waiting for a cycle to finish to see if step 1 helps. If not, I’m so thankful for this video! I feel like I can do this myself!!!
You can do it! If you run into trouble along the way let me know and I'll do what I can to help.
Great video! Dishwasher was not utilizing the heated dry or steam functions and read it could be the flood switch. Watch this video and which showed how easy it was to replace. Also gave some very helpful tips such as drying up the well the flood switch sits in. Got the new switch in and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the video!
Great to hear!! Thanks!!
Thanks!!!...worked perfectly by replacing the float WS21X10519....could have gotten it on line. But, purchased at local parts store ($43 +tax), since I wanted it fixed ASAP!! Also, took advice about plugging the drain hole while removing and re-installing screws. Saved me a lot of grief!!! Took apart the old float...full of gunk and detergent residue which hampered the switch.🍀🍀🍀🍀
Glad it helped. Sometimes they can be fixed by cleaning but it didn’t work for me nor a lot of others. Glad yours is working again.
Thank you for the video. This helped me fix my dishwasher.
Glad it helped out!!!
Hey just wanted to drop a thanks for your video - You helped me repair my dishwasher today and saved $$$ in repair costs. I loved your paper towel advice as the screws magically jumped where the hole would have been. Also, using needlenose pliers helped me place the screws back into the correct location for reinstallation.
Thank you for watching! Glad this helped!!
Thank you so much. You are a life saver!!! Your video is perfect, no music needed lol ! I fixed my dishwasher like a big girl!
lasido perfect! So glad this worked for you also! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video! Thank you! I was just trying to clean my dishwasher.. and over cleaned! Unfortunately, I broke my flood switch 😪 😞... you gave a great description... thank you so much...I thoroughly enjoyed watching!
Oh no! We’re you able to get a new one and get it going again?
Thanks for the instructional video! I was able to replace the flood switch thanks to your directions, but it turned into more of a project than your example. My dishwasher didn't have enough slack wire to be able to plug the new switch in, so I had to pull the whole dishwasher out and disconnect another part of the wiring harness to get enough slack to work with. It's back together now, and we're loading it up for a test run. THANKS!
Thanks for the tip of getting all the water cleaned out first. It's a really good idea to prime it before running it through a cycle. Take a pitcher of water and dump it on top of flood switch until it's covering the flood switch. It will suck air if you don't prime or first.
Hi- thank you so much for your videos. I just ordered a new flood switch and am hoping it’s the solution to my problem, which is no heat or drying of my dishes.
I hope it helps!! Let me know if it helps!!
Thank you for such a detailed video, I got mine fixed, god bless you
Thank you!! Glad it helped out!!
Followed your video and replaced the flood switch and fixed the drying cycle. Saved me $400 on new dishwasher. THANK YOU! Just subscribed to your channel as well.
Brandon Carey thank you Brandon! I'm glad this helped out! Have a great day and thank you for your comment and subscribing!
Thanks so much for this video. I ordered this part and fixed my GE Dishwasher model number GDT580SSF2SS. The water level was lower than it should have been (top arm wouldn't turn) and the element wouldn't heat. This fixed both issues. My part also did not "rattle" like the new one so the float was stuck in it. The hardest part for me was hooking the wiring harness back on. Pay attention to the orientation when you take the old one off. This really helped me - I never would have deduced it was this part without this video.
Thanks for your comment and glad it helped out. It originally took me weeks to figure out what was wrong so I decided to help people out by making a few videos on how to do it and linking the replacement part in the description for them. Definitely glad this worked for you. Stay safe out there!
Great video pal...thanks for posting this. I found it very detailed, diligent with some useful tips on covering those holes with paper towel from losing those nuts. I followed to the "T" to resolve my issue to open and clean the Float Switch and put it back and guess what my washer started working like a champ again.
For those who are wondering... my issue started after I cleaned my dish washer as it was smelling with all debris at the bottom. I may have twisted the flood switch hoping it would turn but guess not. It appears like it disconnected the underlying power harness and as a result my dishwasher was not filling or spraying with water but does drain okay and heats fine. Removing and putting the flood switch back resolved my issue. My Model GE GDF540HSF4SS came with our house in 2015.
Thanks for your comment! Great to hear your dishwasher is now working good again. Have a great day!
Thank you for this video. This fixed video fixed my dishwasher. Keep up the good work posting these videos. It was the flood switch!
Woohoo!! Glad it helped out!
Using a wee dab of petroleum jelly in the pocket of the nut driver would cause the hex head self tapping screws to adhere to the nut driver's pocket, and implement the reassembly of the flood switch replacement tremendously! I didn't bother to count how many times you dropped the screws... I've done a bit of mechanical repair work over my years, and that's a quick and easy trick to help everyone.
.
I strongly recommend using petroleum jelly rather than heavy axle grease, the heavy stiff grease won't melt and wash away like the petroleum jelly will...
.
Thanks for this video, I was about to call a repairman (and pay to the tune of 200+ dollars for the parts, service call, and labor. I haven't replaced my flood switch just yet, but it will be ordered as soon as I'm done with this comment.
Jim
BIG THUMBS UP FOR YOU BFR!!!
Thanks Jim! I did drop them quite a few times. I could have edited that section out but I really wanted to give everyone a realistic approach to what replacing this part really consists of. I hate it when you see a 2 minute video on how to replace something and it ends up taking an hour or so, obviously that's a bit extreme for this scenario lol Thanks for your great comment! Have a good one!
@@BreakFixRepair FYI, I followed your instructions to the letter, yes I plugged that hole with a paper towel, and yes I dropped a screw down there even though I used petroleum jelly, but a handy pair of needle nose pliers saved the day.
Bottom line: I repaired our dishwasher and I did it in about 20 minutes total. Most of the time was spent soaking up the dishwater.
Tested it, and it's working great, HOT WASHING and hot drying.
BFR, Man you saved us at least $150-$175 dollars in service calls and parts.
I just had to come back to you and give you great kudos! Thanks, BFR.
Thank you very much. Your video helped me fix the dishes not drying problem for a GE GDT580SSF7SS (Flood switch part WD21X10519). All tips in the video are very useful. One thing I would add is to temporarily hold harness is to use a hook of a bungee cord or similar so you don't let go of it. The other is to definitely a magnetic tip nut driver.
Thank you!
Gotta tell you brotha, your videos were entertaining and you saved me a few hundred dollars. The flood switch was super easy to replace 24 bucks from Amazon 5 bucks for the drying agent from Walmart and our dishwasher is like new! Thank you bro
Thank you!!! Glad to have helped!!
Excellent, this was exactly the info I needed! I knew the float needed to be replaced because sometimes it doesn't fill enough but I DIDN'T know that the thermostat was in there too. Thanks for putting this info out for us ladies 😜
😂 you’re welcome. Let me know how it turns out or if I can do anything to help.
Wow! This has been the most helpful UA-cam video I have ever seen! Thank you so much! You have saved me from having to purchase a new dishwasher! Thank you!!!
You are most welcome. I appreciate the kind words. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you soooooo much!!!! I successfully replaced the part without losing a screw thanks to your tip of filling the hole!! The old part didn't make any noise when I shook it, the new one did. Now I wait and see if the water gets hot and dishes get dried. Thank you again.
glad this helped you! Hope it goes fix your issue. If you would, please comment back if the water gets hot and the dishes dry! Thanks!
@@BreakFixRepair Yes, it works like brand new. Thanks so much again
OMG! Thank you! I have definitely liked and subscribed and saved as a favorite. I am now motivated that I may be able to fix this myself.... single lady up here in Alaska and appliance service repair guy is booked 3 months out. Fingers crossed..... you are great! Thank you!
Thank you!! Let me know how it turns out!!
Thanks so much!! I replaced the element thinking that was the problem and of course the new one didn’t work…
Found your explanation in previous video…going to buy the part right now!!!
Let me know if it fixes the problem! Good luck!
Thank you! Just did the float valve replacement this morning and it solved our heat problem. Appreciate the video help!
Glad this helped. Thanks!!
Gave me a little bit of Blue's Clues vibe but you're video is very detailed and helpful!
good video thank you, skip music were here to learn.
Pretty helpful video. A couple things I did differently was use a shop vac to suck the water out and a telescoping small-headed magnet to grab and reinsert the screws.
Thank you! Shop vac is a great tool for this if you have one!
Thanks buddy. It really helped and my wife’s super happy I was able to fix it with your help
Woohoo! Glad it helped out. Definitely cheaper than a new one or an expensive repairman that has to keep coming out because they don’t fix it the first time!
like it I replaced this part and it fixed all of my symptoms stuck in drain mode each cycle running for few seconds then shutting off no water input no drain fixed all of them thank you!
Great news!! Thanks for your comment!
Incredibly helpful. I used this video to take my flood switch out and clean the gunk in it. Hoping that fixes my problem. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Justin! Please reply back and let me know if cleaning it fixed yours. I tried to clean mine but it didn’t help! Thanks for your comment!
Our dishwasher (same as the video) had basically become a dish moistener. Lots of globby gunk left on the dishes. Most of the silverware still dirty. Didn't heat the water or dry properly. Reminded me of the little girl in the commercial, "So, what does the dishwasher DO?" With guidance from this video I took out the flood switch and found it impacted with gook. Tried to wash it out but couldn't get the float to move. Called my local appliance parts store who had them in stock. It was pricier than A..... ($58) but we have company incoming so I wanted it fixed ASAP. Bought one and installed it and the dishwasher is acting like its old self. Haven't finished running the first load but I'm confident that it is fixed. Thank you for making the video!
Perfect!! Glad it helped out in a pinch!
I want you to know That if it wasn’t for your video I would of went to Lowe’s and bought a new dishwasher!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! You saved me $700!!! And i fixed it myself
Thank you for this awesome feedback. So glad this video is really helping people! Glad you saved yourself a lot of money too! Appreciate you watching. Have a great day!
Thanks, man. I followed your instructions and it worked. I do not know if it fixed the dishwasher yet. It is still running, but I was able to swap out the float switch. I did not know about this until I watched your video.
Thanks!!! Please let me know if it fixed your dishwasher.
Thanks man, got me all fixed up! Subscribed!
Glad I could help!
Thanks! This video makes it look easy. Wish I knew I needed a nut driver BEFORE I took everything else apart, lol.
Lol I tried to lay everything out as best I could but sometimes I miss the details.
Thank you for the detailed step by step instructions. My dishes weren't drying, so I replaced the flood switch per the video and that helped to solve the issue.
Mike Sieber thanks for your comment!! Glad this video helped you!
Solved my problem thank you! Couldn't take off the sprayer but worked around it. Dishwasher is only 3 yrs old and already replaced the control board a few months ago and now this!
Sweet! Glad this worked for you! Hate you’re having so much trouble out of it. You are the first person I’ve seen that’s had to replace the control board.
@@BreakFixRepair yup so with the control panel issue, one day i went to use it and nothing would turn on on the panel. There was also a burnt smell previously. I have a very similar model to yours i think the GE cafe series. CDT725SSF0SS luckily my husband was able to fix each of those himself but your video really helped us with the step by step and where to order the part.
@@BreakFixRepair one of the wires underneath the dishwasher actually looked completely burnt (wiring harness item #wd21x10541) so it started there then the electricity problem caused a jolt in the control panel. I googled and i guess it can happen because there is a lot of moisture in that area underneath which can cause it to short out. So we actually replaced both of those parts at once.
Worked Perfectly. Thank you very much.
You’re welcome!!!
Appreciate this man. Thank you. And taking the time to go step by step makes a big difference.
Thank you!! Hope it helps!
Thanks man. Just replaced mine after watching your video. Much appreciated.
Glad it helped out!!
Thank you man. Was able to fix my dishwasher using this video. Saved $$$.
Love to hear it!
Thank you. My heater element wasn't working and this fixed it!
It's like having a new dishwasher! Thank you!
It's a wonderful feeling! Glad it worked and thanks for your comment! Have a wonderful day.
As senior citizens. we didn't want to have a repair person in the house in these c-virus times. In our household, I'm the mechanic. I browsed the web for fixes and when I found your step-by-step video with your patient and thorough instructions (funny, too), plus the positive comments, I felt confident. I ordered the float switch and nut driver. Once into the machine, I ran into a glitch. The nut bolts were frozen with a ring of calcium build-up, so I soaked them for a half-hour in distilled white vinegar. That made my repair take longer than most. But the repair was successful! Even thingI don't need to spend time pre-washing the dishes any more. Ts I didn't know were bad are now fixed. The ball inside the old flood switch didn't rattle around, so the water level had been low. Maybe that's why the glasses were smelly sometimes. Now the right water level is reached. The spray arms shoot out a heavy volume of water when I open it to add one more thing. The hot water with power boost is super hot. The hot air is really hot. And the machine is a lot quieter, too. So thanks again!
Thank You for this superb video. It provided all the detail I needed to avoid mistakes in troubleshooting and repairing my DW.
Glad to help!
Thank you for this video, I was really bummed out thinking of what I might have to do to get my washer heating again. Thought having to replace heating element right off the bat.
Did you get it working by replacing the flood switch?
Thank you!!!! Followed instructions and no more flooded kitchen!
Wonderful! Thanks for your comment! Glad this helped you out. Have a great day.
I knew it was out of warranty, but I called GE anyway. BIG MISTAKE. $250, two trips from the tech, and 3 weeks later and I still don't have heat in my dishwasher. Seriously, I think this tech is trying to get as much money out of me as possible. He replaced the wiring harness that goes from the control board to the heating element. All he did was plug his laptop into the control board and said, it's fixed. He left, I ran the dishwasher, still no heat. With the help of your videos and a couple others, I was able to test the element and it's good so I ordered a float switch that should arrive tomorrow. Hopefully, that solves the problem. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!
Michael Webster I really hope it does fix your issue! As you can see from many other comments on my cross videos this part seems to fail more than anything else. If it does work tomorrow would you do me a favor and comment back to let me know if it fixed your issue? Thank you!
@@BreakFixRepair Replacing the flood switch totally solved the problem. The old float switch appeared to be gummed up with some nastiness. Funny thing, I even pulled a piece of plastic out of the bottom of the dishwasher when I was soaking up the water just like you did in the video. LOL. I can't believe that the "professional" GE repair tech didn't look at the float switch first. He either has nefarious motives or he's stupid, or maybe he's a repair rookie.
Do you have a cleaning method for keeping the nasty gunky buildup down that I suspect led to my float switch to fail? Thank you so much for your help. We're a family of 7 and not having a working dishwasher was making us crazy!!!!
@@BreakFixRepair btw, you should totally be an affiliate for these guys: www.appliancepartspros.com/
@@michaelwebster8844 Woot!!! that's wonderful! I hate the tech took that much money from you though... I've always considered that kind of service a rip off, for the most part. especially if they don't guarantee their work to fix it. So earlier this year I put out a video on how to maintain your dishwasher after you replace the flood switch. Check that video out. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/k80hcuZoM9o/v-deo.html The routine is listed in the video and the products needed are linked in the description. I appreciate the support. Thank you! Have a wonderful day. Also, I completely understand as I am a family of 4 (now) with three children so the dishwasher tends to stay running around here! If there's anything I can do to help feel free to reach out.
This worked for me! Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad it helped!!
Great video. Trick I use to hold the screws on the driver is to use a piece of paper towel between the nut and the driver. Also those screws should be stainless steel which are not magnetic.
aorsin Thank you! great point! I found it was easy to just put the screws in the plastic holder first and slowly put them in place. The screws in mine definitely seem to be stainless but seemed to be partially magnetic. They may be a cheaper grade of stainless steel.
Great video! I liked it that you didn't edit out the goofs....we all make them. You have a clear and logical approach. Yes, I did L & S.
Speedsterjohnny thank you! I tried to show people how long it would take from start to finish with no gimmicks. It ended up being a long video but shouldn’t take 10-15 minutes to replace from start to finish. Appreciate the L&S! Have a great day!
Success! The most difficult part was the wiring harness, a little stubborn undoing and reconnecting. I took an extra step and put a long zip tie on the harness just below the plug and that kept it from getting away from me. I left it on and stuffed it down inside as I was seating the new flood switch (next time???) Lots of debris down there, sludge and a couple of toothpicks. Ran a load and the machine performed like new. Thanks again for a great video!
Thank you for an excellent presentation
Hope it helped!!
hey man! best video about this replacement our there! Thank you so much! and also.. very entertaining. me and my father-in-law had genuine fun watching your video ahead of doing this! Liked and subscribed!
Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and glad it helped out. Thanks for liking and subscribing. Stay safe!
Great video. Thanks for the step by step which no one ever does.
meecrob hutt thank you for your comment! Glad I could help! I hate finding something on the internet that doesn’t give you enough info to get the job done! Have a good one.
Thank you for proving to my spouse that this is probably too complicated for him. I know you’re trying to show people how to DIY, but still ... :)
Lol it’s a pretty easy install to be honest. I just made the video with limited edits to show exactly how it should be with no fancy editing tricks :) thank you for your comment! Have a great day!
You don't have a husband then. You have a wife
I followed the other video of yours here. Got the part today and this video is really helpful for the installation. just finger crossed it's going to fix the heating issues and loud sinking noises
