GE Dishwasher Repair in Palm Harbor: Dead Drain Pump
- Symptom
- Standing water left in the bottom of the tub at the end of the cycle.
- Cause
- The drain pump had failed and no longer moved water.
- Fix
- Replaced the drain pump and ran a full test cycle.
A GE dishwasher in Palm Harbor wouldn’t drain — it would run through its cycle but leave water sitting in the bottom of the tub instead of pumping it out.
Pulling the drain pump and testing it confirmed it had failed — it wasn’t moving water anymore.
We swapped in a new pump and ran a full test cycle before calling it done. The dishwasher drains normally again at the end of every cycle. If your dishwasher is leaving standing water after it runs, a failed drain pump is one of the first things worth checking — see our dishwasher repair page for what else we typically look at.
