I have a GE Triton Dishwasher, model # GSD5330D02WW. The water won't drain out of the tub. I have checked the drain hose, it is fine, and I have also replaced the check valve piston assembly and the body valve check assembly.. it still won't drain... I'm just lost and dont know where to turn next, any help would be greatly appreciated... thank you..

On the back floor of the unit are 2 hex head screw. Remove them and check to see if it is clear. I had the same problem and they was my problem

Here is a list from AcmeHow to.com that may help.
Water does not drain from the dishwasher
* Check sink drain and drain hose for restrictions
* Unjam the motor
* Unjam the pump
* Check the drain valve
* Check the drive belt
* Test the timer motor
* If you have a brand new dishwasher or garbage disposer, check the knock out plug on the garbage disposer.

It is just behind the spray arm assembly on the bottom of the inside unit.The 2 screws hold a screen type cover on. Double check the drain hose and inside the drain line where the drain hose connects to. Also remove ftont kick panel with electricit off and try to trun motor/pump by hand. Sometimes the will seize up.

i already checked that screen inside the unit... its fine, i turned the motor propeller... when i spin it should it spin around and around by itself? it only spins if i am pushing it.. when i let off it stops..

I had the same problem. Called GE repair service. Their man found a wire that had been pinched. He resoldered it. This fix did the job. Paid him $167.00 for his twenty minute presences. Never could figure out what was meant by a "shop charge", but it amounted to $40.00. It was my shop . . .my kitchen floor.
Oh well, I wish he had commented on the why of the water under the dishwasher. Get those leaks fixed as seven months later I had to replace sixty four square feet of flooring and 25 square yards of vinyl due to staining.
