    Found this video after dishwasher quit drying and sanitizing. Your video is concise and easy to follow. Ordered part, followed your instructions, and it worked perfectly. Total repair time was less than 20 minutes. Thank you so much.

    Bought a renovated home and thought I had to buy a new dishwasher as well. It smelled awful and did not heat dry. I did some research and found your video. Thanks for explaining every step and the closeup shots. I did the repair myself and I feel so proud! I am not a “Do-It-Yourself-er”. You saved me hundreds of dollars from having to buy a new dishwasher! Thanks for your generosity. Thanks for taking the time to create this video. Literally a life changer.

    I am 67 years old and thanks to watching your video I gained the confidence I needed to repair my dishwasher. Knowing the tools I would need was very helpful and having a magnetic screwdriver with hex adapter was great advice. The close-up shots of each step along the way made it very helpful and easy to follow.

    O M G this freaking worked. I can NOT believe it . I am dancing around my house. All the search info went to a bad heating element. There was nothing during my first few searches that discussed this little secret. But after searching for like the 7th time, i found this. Thank you Thank YOU. Bought the part on Amazon- got the one listed prime that was cheaper than all the others and it was an ACTUAL GE PART. Thank goodness for the magnetic hex wrench and i taped that little side hole. I did let the plug thingie slip thru the hole by accident and after cursing alot i got out the spackle gun and used the long L bracket on it to find the piece and pull it back up. I then taped it to the hole until i was ready to put the new part in. I also taped the side hole so i wouldn't lose the screws. What an empowering feeling. Truly thank you.

    Hello, thank you for taking the time to make these videos, do you know if there is a way that I can test the part to know that it’s faulty?? Can this be done by testing the pins with an ohm meter. I don’t know which wires to test, the harness for this part that has one orange wire, one red wire, one blue wire, and one white wire… I’m going to go ahead and replace it, I’m a technician for an apartment community and I would like to test Parts to prove their bad if I can , thank you for any advice or help with this, thanks again I really enjoy all of your videos, and I learned a lot from them

    Just curious, and this is a serious question: what should you do if that harness goes back down into the hole? What would I need to disassemble next? I am about to do this right now, so I thought I would pose the question for possibly myself and others. Also-THANK YOU for the info about the 1/4 inch extender.

    Hello. Don't really expect a reply but it is worth a shot. If the float is bad, will it cut power to the user interface? I have good power to the lower board (green LED is flashing fast) and I have 13.8V at the pins going to the upper door control panel but I have no power on that upper panel at all. I've tried all resets known to man. Trying to avoid buying panels I don't need if the float switch could be the issue. thanks

    I think water isn't supposed to be in there (it is supposed to drain out), but if things are clogged, you can use a rag to soak up the water and squeeze it out into a bowl.
