Dishwasher Problem

I’ve got a friend thats has had his dishwasher overflow 3 times in the past 6 months. The rest of the time he says it works just fine. He swears hes not over-filling it with soap.


Its a GE; its about 15 years old; the door seals look ok. The house itself is about 50 years old and uses cast iron waste lines and galvanized supply lines (some of which have been replaced with CPVC and copper).

Any clues as to what could be sporadically screwing up.

Hi Dan,


it is most likely the float switch that is failing and allowing it to overfill, also sometimes the program can fail and the machine not empty before starting the rinse cycle, but at 15 years old it ispast it's projected life cycle anyway, and is probably cheaper to replace than repair.

Regards

Gerry
