Dishwasher leaking at rubber connector - pump wash arm
First removed dishwaser from under counter so I could get to rubber connecter. It is located in center under dishwasher. I first needed to unscrew with wrench rubber connection at pump and and then the complete piece unscewed by hand from pump wash arm. I then just had to screw new rubber connector back on to bottom of dishwasher and re-attached at the pump. It was very easy to replace the rubber connector. I also replaced the dishwasher sump housing because it was made of same rubbber material and feared it was deteriorating also. I had to unscrew with wrench at pump as well and it just popped out from inside dishwasher after unscrewing screen inside dishwaser. Popped new piece in and screwed screen back on and reconnected underneath dishwasher back to pump. The rack roller wheel just popped right on. FYI: The wheel is actually 1.75 inches in diameter not 2 inches. I was worried it might be too big if it where 2 inches but it was the same size as the other wheels which was 1.75 inches. The hardest part of this job was getting the dishwasher in and out from under the counter. The good news is that most of these parts are standard and the replacement parts fit perfect.
First shut off the Power and Water to Dishwasher, removed from under counter, removed sump screen and retaining clamp from sump housing and then loosened seal from inside dishwasher cavity. Upon removal I went in search of a replacement part and found Parts Select on the web, entered my model and make at there web site and found the part I needed, I could verify the size by the easy picture on a one inch tile background for the dimenision . I called in the order since I wanted overnight service, I received the part and after cleaning the area where it goes I proceded to put things back together, this took about a hour and a half and the dishwasher is back in service
I pulled the dishwasher out from under the counter. Loosened the collar holding the sump housing to the pump motor. Unscrewed the cover inside the base of dishwasher to release the collection opening of the sump. It's very flexible so I pulled it out by hand. Put the new one in and screwed everything back down. Pushed the dishwasher back under the counter. Simple Simple Simple.

water leak due to bad rubber connector
Ordered rubber connector and it arrived the next day. Shut off main power and water. Disconnected water supply and pulled unit out from under counter. Flipped unit over on it's side. Disconnected wiring, drain hose, clamps and completely removed motor/pump. Rubber connector would not unscrew by hand so I found a drinking glass slightly smaller in diameter than the connector inner diameter. Inserted glass in connector and proceeded to unscrew connector by turning connector and glass together. After removing old connector I cleaned the mating part after removing it from inside the washer and removed all the build-up. Replaced everything back in same order.
first I used a shop vac to clean any excess water left behind, removed the sump housing from the motor, removed the sump housing from the body of dishwasher, replaced the old housing for the new one and reversed my steps to remove old one,

water leak
I shut off water and pulled dish washer out removed all water. Turned waasher upside down. Removed sump housing screws and unscrewed pc fitting ,replaced new parts. Make sure things are tight before turning on water.
water leaking out of dishwasher,pump to washer arm split
First turn water supply off,take out two screws under counter that holds dishwasher in place,pull washer out just enough to take water supply line loose from the unit, finish pulling unit out from under the counter top lay unit on it`s side or door down on the floor,remove clamp with a flat screw driver,unthread pump connector from washer arm and install new connector, very easy installation if you have any mechanical skills at all.
Removed dishwasher from under counter,hardest part,removed to workshop. Laid it on the door with cardboard under it. Removed the clamp with a nut driver, pulled it off the pump squeesed it up out of the tub. To replace it was a little harder. It didn't want to stay into the grove in the tub. Placed it on the pump first to hold it down and than it went in the grove better. Last I took a wooden dowell rod and press it down tight into the grove. Replaced drain guard which holds it into the grove. Tested it for leaks. Returned it to under counter.

Water was leaking out of dishwasher:
I just removed , screen and cover where the sump housing was that was easy, then we removed the old sump housing and that was easy.. But then we, I had my wife help for we couldn't get the sump housing back in. It was because we was trying to push it in from the back end and the front end keep popping out it wouldn't seal. Then we tried pushing it in from the front and it popped right in..So we got it figured out..It wasn't hard if you knew what you were doing. :0) But for two old people it wasn't that bad. hahah

Hi Carmen,
Thank you for your question. Here is some information that a customer has left on our website on how he installed the part, "First removed dishwaser from under counter so I could get to rubber connecter. It is located in center under dishwasher. I first needed to unscrew with wrench rubber connection at pump and and then the complete piece unscewed by hand from pump wash arm. I then just had to screw new rubber connector back on to bottom of dishwasher and re-attached at the pump. It was very easy to replace the rubber connector.

I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Thank you for the answer to my original question. Now i have more information to give you. I removed the sump cover and sump strainer cap. The water is staying in the sump housing. We checked the hose to the disposal and cleared some build up. We ran the dishwasher with the hose removed and the water drained but stayed in the sump housing when the cycle completed. Your reply was to check the drain basket, where is that? With this additional information, can you suggest anything?
For model number GSD34515F00AA
Hi Karen,
Thank you for getting back to us. The drainage basket or drain screen is inside the interior bottom below the rotating washer arm. You will need to pull the lower dishrack forward to locate the drain basket. You will need to twist the basket one-half turn to the left and lift the part out of the appliance. I hope this helps with the repair. Have a great day!

My dishwasher started to build up water in the bottom. I unscrewed the cover and cleaned out the holding tank for water. Is water supposed to stay in there all the time? Or is it supposed to drain out when used.
For model number GSD34515F00AA
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your inquiry. The water is supposed to completely drain out once a dishwashing cycle is completed. If there is water pooling at the bottom of your dishwasher it could be that food or debris is blocking the drain drain basket or the drain hose and you need to clean them out. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Our dishwasher will not hold the water in the tub when it is washing. It runs out of the drain hose as it washes. How do I stop the water from draining out?
For model number GSC3400J00WW
Hello Tim, thank you for your question. Once the reservoir is filled, a pump sprays water and soap all over the dishes. At the end of the cycle, the pump will discharge water out of the drain. Our suggestion is to replace the Timer PS959249. The purpose of a dishwasher timer is to control the unit's cycles by regulating the length of time that power is directed to each component. We are pleased to have been able to help.
