Soap dispensor door opens but soap will not fall out of the tray. Just started doing this not sure what problem is if water is supposed to force the soap out. Cleaned tray on door .. thanks for any advice
For model number GDF540HSD0SS
Hi Wayne, Thank you for your question. If the detergent dispenser is not dispensing detergent, it may need to be replaced. According to the GE website, check the soap dispenser for any soap residue and wipe out detergent that may still be in there. It is recommended to use pods or packets when using the dishwasher. If using tablets or pods, make sure they are not binding the cup cover and preventing it from opening. Make sure they are properly lined up in the opening. If using powdered detergent, it should be fresh and loose, not lumpy. Also, Load dishes so they do not block the detergent cup from opening. Make sure pot handles and other tall items are not touching the detergent cup. On dishwashers with flip open detergent cups, it is normal for the cup cover to open against the upper rack. The cover opens to about a 45 degree opening. This design allows the jets at the ends of the lower spray arm to direct hot water into the detergent cup and dissolve the detergent pod, powdered or liquid detergent. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

We tried cleaning out the filter and it clogged with a huge amount of gunk. We removed the gunk, scrubbed the filter, and tried running the dishwasher, but still no water. That took over an hour (not counting the time the dishwasher spent running). Then we tried your diagnosis center and it pointed to the flood switch or the water valve. I extracted the flood switch (another 30-60 minutes) to check it, and it also contained gunk and (significantly) did not rattle, which made me suspect the flood switch was the problem, so I ordered one. Once the replacement arrived, I checked it and the flood switch rattled, confirming that it should work properly. I spent 30-45 minutes installing it, plus the filter assembly and racks I had to remove to access it. Ran the dishwasher and everything came out sparkling clean. I don't know where the gunk came from, but if you aren't getting water and the filter is full of gunk, check the flood switch.
I replaced the tub gasket around the door circumference which took less than five minutes to replace. However the problem was replacing the beach gasket that prevents the water from flowing out of the dishwasher tub. The door had to be unhinged from the dishwasher which was unscrewed from the cabinets and brought out from its location. After the door was completely removed it was laid on its front. After removing the door hinges which were secured with just one bolt I tried to slide the back panel off the front panel but without any success. So I had to remove the torn and worn out gasket while working in a tight space. This is where the problem rose because according to installation instructions there are screws supposed to be holding it to the main body frame. However, in my case rivets were used by the manufacture since this was the first time the gasket was being replaced. So I had to use a power tool With a grinding bit to remove the face of the rivets and essentially cut them out to reveal the underlying holes. After this I replace the beach gasket and then used half inch SS Philips bolts and nuts to secure the gasket to the body frame.
1. Turn off breaker supplying power to dishwasher in electrical panel 2. Open dishwasher door 3. Unscrew the screws that secure the dishwasher to the counter. 4. Tip dishwasher forward. Identify the non-functioning door latch. It looks exactly like the replacement. Unclip the wire harness from the door latch. 5. On the inside of the dishwasher, there are 2 screws directly under the door latch. Unscrew them and carefully set aside. 6. Remove old door latch. 7. Set new door latch in place. Holding securely, replace screws removed in step 5. Toward the end they get a little tougher to screw in. 8. Plug wire harness into new door latch. 9. Re-align dishwasher and re-secure to counter in previous position. 10. Test latch to make sure it closes properly. 11. Turn on breaker in electrical panel. The dishwasher should now function properly.
