I’m a 64 year old woman with non draining dishwasher on a holiday weekend. Found this - looked exactly like mine. Took me awhile as I am NOT a DIYer, and not much confidence but MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, it fixed it!! Thank you so very much! PS my knees will never be the same..🤷♀️

OMG thank you so much for this video!! I'm a 14 teen year old and i have my chores, one of them is cleaning dishes! I absolutely HATE hand washing the dishes so the washer machine is a precious angel to me. When it stopped working i was mortified. I watched this video and followed all the steps, i ended up finding one of those tubby things deep down was clogged with food! I cleared it out and put it all back together, no more leaks! Determination to not wash dishes can sure get you far xD THANK YOU SO MUCH

I'm sharing this comment with my 3 teens who claim dishwasher maintenance is akin to magic 😆
My hero! My husband said he couldn’t figure out how to get the screen out of the bottom. So I came here, watched the video, and figured it out for myself. Easy! And now I can teach him so he can clean it next time. 😁
I wish everybody on KZread made their DIY videos as clear and helpful as yours. Thank you so much - this really helped save a lot of money! You're the best!
Thank you! I'm a 54-year old woman and have never worked on a dishwasher before, but I am the family handyperson. Your video guided me beautifully through the steps I needed to take and the tools I needed to use to clean my dishwasher. Mine was really gross compared to the one in your video. I'm running it now and hoping the problem is solved. If not, I know you have other videos. Thanks!

I’m a 68 year old woman and my dishwasher is 18 years old. I was grossed out by the amount of gunk under that last big screen you take off the bottom! My dad was a plumber though so I preserved. Mine was not this exact model so I’m hoping that flap thing is back on right as it was off when I pulled that basket out. If not, I’ll be taking it all apart to turn it around!
I am a 74 yr old lady who is on a fixed income and can't afford a plumber. I am willing to try any 'fix it' because of financial reasons. I took my dishwasher apart step by step, cleaned it and put it all back together. Hardest part was getting up and down :) Not the draining problem but boy did it get a good cleaning. Thanks for the video. On to tackle the drain hose...

I am 68 and am so excited to find someone that explains and shows how to do this. I have been to probably 10-12 sites and no one did this!! Thank you so much!!
This was straightforward and clear without any fluff or filler, and showed all of the important steps. It let me fix something stuck in the impeller without a service call, and my dishwasher is now also cleaner than it ever has been. Thanks!
I'm a 71 year old woman thats tired of washing dishes by hand for the last 5 years. Thank you so much for this video. My dishwasher works like a champ.
Great help thanks! Was able to take apart easily and get it clean. I'll also add that if you reach your hand into the sump hole in the back once that basket is out and reach towards the center of the washer you'll find a small impeller blade on a shaft. Mine had all sorts of crap wrapped around it. It was a bit difficult and hard to clean but half the gunk I cleaned out came from that opening. I'll also add to make sure ALL the holes on the sprayer arms are clean. Not only won't it spray well but I believe it's also what propels the arms to spin. Especially the arm beneath the upper rack. There are holes on the underside and very tip that look to be for this very purpose. I took it off the rack and cleaned under sink with a bent paper clip.
I did it! 75-year-old single woman. Thank you so much for this video so easy to follow.
Adam, great video. Fixed my problem. My wife was talking new dishwasher until your video helped me repair my lack of draining problem.
30 years old woman, never done this before so thank you!
I just fixed my dishwasher because of your video. Thank you! You did a great job. It was very clear, descriptive, and easy to follow even for someone like me with no previous experience. I really appreciate it.

March 2020 Thank you so much for this video. My son always says "Mom always check KZread, they fix everything." Water was not draining out of the dishwasher and in the last load I even had 2 small puddles of water and suds on the floor. I thought it might be a clogged filter, but didn't really have any way of checking or how to take it apart. I found your video with the same washer that I have and that helped to watch your video and the step by step directions. Usually, I would call a repair person, but I am staying in my home and I don't want a stranger coming in due to the COVID 19 virus. I am well, but i'm in the older group of people who will be safer if we don't go outside or be around other people until the time has passed. I'm so pround of myself, I took pictures at each stage of repair/filter cleaning and have now run one load of dishes (after testing with a rinse cycle) and no puddles! You saved me money and the stress of having someone come in the house that may not be totally healthy...plus I'm very proud of myself, at 73 years old I fixed a major appliance...with your help. Thank you.
70 year old woman. Did the whole thing! Thanks so much
0:50 detach/attach end pieces 2:09 lift sprayer arm 3:18 this hose is where the water comes out of the sprayer arm 3:24 this drain is where the water flows out of the machine ; it's called the sump inlet 3:48 float switch 4:21 if still have standing water, may have a bad drain pump or the hose that drains into the disposal or sink could be clogged 4:40 when reattaching sprayer, make sure grey berring inside
This is my first comment ever on a KZread video. Because I had to say THANK YOU! This is exactly what I my dishwasher needed. It was appalling the gunk and junk, hard water buildup I found in my dishwasher! Not to mention (I have small children at home) the plastic fork, a dice, and a sparkly butterfly barrette I found in various nooks and crannies! Now the dishwasher is running smoothly, no flooding, and I can't wait to see if they'll actually be clean with the normal cycle. Thank you thank you thank you!

I have the quiet power 2, basically the same. You saved me around $560 (if I bought new), or $260 to have it repaired/cleaned. I followed step by step and now it cleans like it was brand new!!! Thanks again!!!😏
EXCELLENT! Clear, concise, no funny fonts or background music. Great rhythm & easy to follow.
Great tutorial. Quick potential shortcut for those tackling the drain hose. Almost all GE units drain upwards (hence the drain pump). There are two valves that prevent backflow on most machines. One immediately inside the sump where the drain motor connects to the unit and one at the lower elbow on the exterior drain line. Both are the first to clog and/or fail...allowing "pumped out" water to drain back into the unit. Check these small "redish" rubber valves to ensure they are not torn, worn or otherwise clogged with debris. The one at the sump can be visually inspected from inside the dishwasher. The in-line valve is sandwiched between two plastic fittings in the drain line itself.

Thank you! I followed the vid and it still isn't working. Ran it on short run after we cleaned out and still ended up with undrained water at the end of cycle. Going to try a d find what you mentioned. Thank you!
This video was fantastic. Clear and easy instructions and demonstrations made it much easier and more affordable to repair my machine after it leaked water all over the floor. Thank you Adam!
God bless you for this video. I have had a smelling dishwasher for over 3 years now not able to pay for it to be fixed. You just came from nowhere like an angel. No amount of money can pay you for this kindness but my donation to you is that, anything you've ever wished for in your life, God will surprise you and you will receive evalasting blessings from unexpected ends. God bless you in all territories🙏🏾♥️
This Worked!!!! I am in my mid 60's and agree with the earlier comment, hardest part was up and down with my broken foot. The angles were a challenge too but I managed and so happy with the result. I had trouble unscrewing some parts with weakish hands so I cut a piece off of an old yoga mat. WORKED GREAT! Loved channeling my very handy do-it-yourself father! He taught me well and so did you, Adam I can't find the support button.
Worked perfectly! I would never have thought some of those parts would even come out. Cleaned out some much GROSS stuff. Smells better already. THANKS!
WOW !! What a great video. I never cleaned my dishwasher in 5 years and it started to smell you wouldn't believe the mildew build up inside the drain trap. Thanks Thanks,Thanks
Wonderful walkthrough! I thought our 15yr old dishwasher was finally on its last legs, but after watching your video & cleaning out the years of built up gunk, it may run for another 15! Thank you!
Great video! I moved into a home with an older model - nothing was getting clean and it smelled. I’m a 40 yr old single mom and videos like yours save the day!
Phenomenal job with this video. I felt an urge to clean our dishwasher this morning (for the first time), found your video and the job went smoother (and quicker) than expected. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the excellent repair step by step!! Even going backwards at the end, to put everything back together! You rock
This is by FAR the best video on how to disassemble and clean a GE dishwasher. My model is nearly identical and I had no issues following this crystal clear guide.
I just tackled this project again. Look at my post from about six months prior about cleaning the impeller underneath. As good and helpful as this video was they overlooked this equally important step. You need to reach down the sump hole towards the center and clean out that impeller arm. Still a very helpful video. Thanks for posting.
Exactly what I was looking for. THANKS! I have a QuietPower 1, but it looks just like this one. Great lighting, clear explanations and excellent camera angles. Thanks for the assist! 😁
Thanks Adam, just finding this now but its exactly what I needed. It was so gross. Embarrassed I've been "washing" my family dishes with a filthy machine. So grateful for the tutorial!!!
Here's another 74 year old woman who just followed your instructions. turkey baster was great to get all the water out and save me many ups and downs. Thanks Adam.
This video is clear both visually and in its wording, and it contains the perfect amount of detail. Superduper helpful. Thank you!
Adam: Great job. One thing I thought might be helpful to other DIYers: my 2009 Quiet Power 3 underwent a change in the value flapper system. I was searching for the one you showed. I was concerned that mine had "disappeared" at some point. My model has three in the motor and no longer has the external flapper as in your machine. Thanks for a very helpful video. It's nice to be able to reef on the hub nut, knowing that it will come off with the right amount of pressure. Having a few decades worth of disassemble experience, I HATE cranking on a fastener if I'm not sure it actually is supposed to come off the way it appears. Keep those vids coming.
Found where the washer went in the middle of the hub. The grey filter was really hard to get out of a ge adora. You made it look easy. It want for me. I had to better my husband who had to use a flat head screw driver down one side to release a lip down further. I have put it back in now but next time I have it out I am sanding down those edges a little..

This was really helpful - we have a clean dishwasher! Unfortunately, our problem was we recently replaced our food disposal and did not remove the dishwasher drain plug! LOL! So, if anyone follows Adam's video and the washer STILL doesn't drain... check that drain hose AND the apparatus in which it is connected! Thank you for leading us to our issue, Adam!
Judging by all of the crud I scraped off some of these parts this video may have literally saved my life! Thanks for the great walk-through.
great video. odd engineering that you have to remove the upper sprayer line to remove the drain cover. unf this cleanout didnt solve my problem so im off to the drain line video. also you mentioned the rubber flap/sphincter at bottom but i felt nothing but a very small hole no way i was getting my finger in there. also when i removed the bottom sprayer arm there was some kind of cracked ring ( 2.5" wide and abt 1/2" high) beneath, cant tell if it it's from the unit or some long-ago washed device but the color matches.
Thank you so much for the helpful video! Mine didn't have a screw on the back part/middle of the arm either but found a rusty screw in the bottom. maybe they used a regular screw on there since its not as important and they rust and fall out! who knows!
My dishwasher was making a knocking sound ever since we moved into the house - I didn't see anything out of whack except perhaps the lower spray arm hitting something but the dishwasher was working well. Suddenly the knocking stopped and I knew something was wrong. The dishes didn't clean the same so I investigated and found that the metal piece under the bottom spray arm was bent and no longer spinning - I opened up the floor of the dishwasher and it seemed all was good if not a tiny bit dirty. With your video I was able to remove everything and replace it - Thank you for a great video and this really was wonderful.
You are so awesome at making tutorials. Never seen such clear informations, good image quality and perfect montage in one tutorial. Amazing job!
Thank you!! My daughter is cleaning her dishwasher out.It was bad..It was very helpful!!!
Great video! This was a huge help in identifying the problem in my dishwasher. While I was inspecting the sump I noticed that it looked like the rubber was degrading. I am curious if using tablets containing bleach caused this issue? My question, can you replace that sump, and if so, how much work is involved? My unit is a little more than 8 years old. Thanks!!
Very helpful. 15 yr. old GE Triton XL . Able to clean and troubleshoot. Now testing. Not able to release the last grey piece that has the one way valve. If this cleaning doesn't work, I'm guessing it's the final flap valve to the sump pump; or the pump itself that isn't working to drain . Had lots of water in bottom of washer, before disassembly and cleaning. A challenge for a 75 yr. old man with arthritis, who never tried such a repair before. Good experience; your video is very well done. thank you.
I’m a 60 year old woman. I appreciate this video. Easy to follow, and resulted in my ability to clean out the gunk and get my dishwasher to drain. Thank you!
Great job this video was fantastic! I had been using cheap dishwasher liquid which caused massive buildup on everything, scrubbed everything and reassembled. Works great!
Thank you so much for the video, it help so much! I usually start a repair and midway i break something or make it worse and have to call my oldest son to repair my repair job. This one I completed on my own. Feels good, it worked !
You have no idea how helpful this was lol. I was able to take apart my dishwasher and fix the issue by myself. Now I have a load in and it’s working beautifully! Keep doing the lords work sir 😊
I was very pleased that you showed how to put all parts back together again 🙋♀ Thank you very much. I’m 75 and very glad I don’t have to buy a new one!
This is great!! Thank you thank you. It would have taken me a long time and probably some breakage to figure this out. Exactly what I needed to clean and check out my dishwasher. And it is my exact model.
This video is great so far, but I'm having a hard time getting the center hub unscrewed... it just keeps spinning. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I am so glad I found this video! I had standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher and had no idea on how to fix it. This walked me through step by step and after only a half hour, the dishwasher was working perfectly. I'm embarrased to say that after owning my dishwasher for 13 years I had never taken it apart to clean. It was disgusting! Glad I was able to fix it myself without having to call a plumber. I did break the clips for the top rack as they were old and brittle so I ordered new ones on Amazon. I also am investing in a new fine filter since I couldn't take the old one apart to completely clean.
Very helpfull Thanks! BTW there is a small washer down in the center hub that will fall out if inverted.

Hi there - I had the same exact problem. As I turn it I can here something underneath turning as well. So something obviously broke a seal, etc. Guess I am not going to worry about it as I was able to get the screen/filter off without taking hub off.
Superbly helpful, thanks very much! For others with older GE models: the little gray "sump bucket" is hooked around the outlet pipe, so pulling isn't enough, you also need to rotate it anti-clockwise while lifting.

Thank you! This worked perfectly. It was the piece underneath the sump cover that was the problem. All the little holes were clogged with calcium buildup and I had to go in there and clean them out to get water flowing into the dishwasher again. Saved me a call to a repairman, and couldn't have taken more than 45 mins start to finish.

I have a GE Quietpower 1 (looks exactly the same inside) that wasn't cleaning and wasn't draining water at the bottom....followed all your directions and took everything apart and cleaned all the parts and filters. Then I ran the dishwasher on HOT START / HOT WASH / HEAVY LOAD with 1 cup of white vinegar in a measuring cup which was sitting in the top rack... It is nice and clean and running beautiful again. YEAH! Thanks for your video :) saved me a repair cost.
This is the first instructional video I watched that actually successfully and efficiently showed me how to do something
You just saved me a TON of money! Spent about 30 mins taking apart my circa 2002 GE Triton XL and cleaned the sump grate.

Did it start draining while you were cleaning it? I am afraid it will overflow if I run it.
This is video is great. I fixed my dishwasher once with it. When it ceased draining again, I came back for a refresher view. It only took about 20 minutes this time, and finding the tools was about half of that! There was a paper label stuck to the backflow valve (down where he says you should feel a little rubber flap). Cleared that out, and all is good.
Heads up to others-- I made the unfortunate discovery of debris/hair tangled around a screw (?) in the sump inlet (described at 3:28). It is interior in the sump inlet, towards the center hub (described at 2:28). My fingers are long and thin, but if you could borrow a tween with long fingers it might be even easier :P Thank you, so much for this video! As others have said, it's one of the best DIY tutoritals I've seen. It gave me a lot of confidence. I appreciate you naming all of these parts, too!
This video was very informative. Our dishwasher is nasty because of food labels coming off of plastic containers and we were having trouble figuring out how to take it apart to clean it. Thank you very much for your guidance.
Easy to follow video on disassembling in order to thoroughly clean my dishwasher. It started making a weird noise so I decided to clean it up and the sump pump screen (at 2:40) was completely blocked. All is working wonderfully! Thank You, Adam!
Just like the others said, your video helped me take my GE Profile parts apart, clean out years of gunk from just about every part, put it back together, and now I do not have to re-wash half of the dish load by hand. Thanks !
Adam, your DIY video was excellent. However, I think you could add one additional procedure in case cleaning the filters and the drain hose do not resolve the drain problem. After checking the filters and the drain hose, we still had drainage issues. So, we decided to take a look inside the pump. We unscrewed three screws to open up the pump and found a small piece of glass (1/2” long by 1/8” wide) that prevented the pump from functioning.
Wow, video is spot on and not only fixed the problem but probably saved hundreds of dollars between the service charge and lost work time. I'm a plumber and should probably know more about dishwashers but it's not something we really work on. I do know it would have cost way more than two hundred dollars and for that I'm very thankful. With amount of build up and debris ubder the screen and in the sump screen im wondering if the pods ate fulky breaking up of it that is nornal after 15 years of not being cleaned. Looking forward to watching your other videos and hitting the thumbs up. Keep up the good work.
Im so glad to have found this video for my exact model. It was a little embarrassing to see all of the stuff I pulled out of the bottom and the basket 😅 But this will help us keep this dishwasher going for a while longer, hopefully a long time longer. Thanks so much for the great tips!
This video was an excellent guide. The most professional video by an ordinary person I have have ever followed. It worked for us, our dishwasher had never been cleaned in eight years !? It's clean now. Thanks Adam.
This video saved me a ton of time, and when you are dealing with fragile plastic pieces it is helpful to have the step by step. I did break a clip on the upper tray which seems to be staying put. Not sure if you can find replacements for those.
SUBSCRIBED. Dude, thank you SO much! I can hardly fix a sandwich, but you have made me a professional handyman. I also gently took a screwdriver to the drain tube that the filter plugs into. I am guessing the black junk that I pulled out was coffee grounds, but it was disgusting. I can't wait to see what our dishes look like when they're done. They have been super spotty for weeks now. I'm guessing that since the dishwasher is 15-18 years old that it has been here since our home was built, and that it hasn't been cleaned or serviced the entire time. Pretty sure you saved me a new one.
The best video guide for cleaning/parts removal of the GE Quietpower dishwashers.
This is EXACTLY the innards of my 1983 dishwasher, which just started allowing icky water to seep back into the machine after it had run and had drained. Not looking forward to going spelunking to discover what horrors await courtesy of the previous homeowners--already found broken glass/dog hair INSIDE the spray arms (protip: while you've got them out, clean 'em!)...but this video is gonna make it MUCH easier, thank you! Very clear and concise tutorial!

Cleaned my dishwasher following this tutorial, and everything you said was spot-on. Thanks to previous homeowners, discovered 35+ years worth of the most disgusting GUNK you've ever seen, and I think Jimmy Hoffa was in there somewhere. A toothpick/twist tie combo was holding the flapper valve open, it was like the prize at the end of the world's most disgusting quest. Dishwasher runs like a champ now! THANK YOU for the video, it was invaluable!
Hey there. This just saved my night. Washer overflowed into the kitchen. Turned out the float was gunked up. Need a good scrub though. Thanks for a great video! Save my night, my wife’s night, and my 2 and 3 years old night!
I don't really know how, but this fixed my issue. So, I needed to find a video of a model that resembled mine, because apparently all later models were made much easier. My model requires that screws be taken out to remove the top rack. I managed to take the entire thing apart thanks to you, and I still couldn't drain it. I put it back together, thank you for going through those steps at the end by the way, and then I ran it and I reset it. The standing water drained out. I'm going to have someone look at it, because it's probably an issue with the pump, but at least now I don't have a bunch of standing water to deal with.
I was originally looking up a cleaning solution I could throw in while I ran the dishwasher, since it had a funny smell. Then I ran across this video! I thankfully have the exact same dishwasher, and pulling it all apart and cleaning it/putting it all back together was SUPER easy thanks to your simple instructions! Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Adam. My 12-year old son I fixed our dishwasher yesterday. Someone must have left a napkin or other paper material in the dishwasher. There was some paper mush buried underneath blocking the drainage. I wouldn't have had an idea where to start. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you thank you!! Dishwasher was not cleaning dishes as good as it should be. First time I watched this video it worked. Now I watch this video every 2 months to clean out my dishwasher.
Thank you for this . Was a bit intimidated at first but you showed just how simple GE put this thing together. I was also a bit troubled to see the exact same screw you were missing was missing in my machine. That can't be coincidence. I wonder if stopped put them in figuring the machine just needed to the connection at the bottom and top. Machine was not doing a good job cleaning but once i got in there it was easy to see why. The filter screen had probably never be cleaned and several water jets were not working well.
You are a live saver. I had no idea how to take it appart. My sump cover had come off and I couldn’t get it back out because the sprayer arm was in the way. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this. I noticed for about 2 to 3 months my dishes haven’t been coming out clean so I’ve been washing them by hand. I kept seeing left over debris in my cups mainly. I followed your video to the tee and boy did I have a lot to clean. Thank you for this demo and my husband thanks you as well. :) I was able to do this by myself and so proud. Only downside is that I won’t be getting a new dishwasher cause it’s fixed now. Thanks for emphasizing on what was easy to break, I was able to be extra careful for those parts.
youi are a lifesaver!!!! My GF's father has an ever older model but the sprayer arm is identical to this one as are most of the other parts... we could find nowhere, any description on how to remover the arm.. your vid saved the day... a thousand thanks...
