GDF510PSM0SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Gasket at the bottom of the door disintegrated.
Took off the kickplate, diconnected the wires and removed the whole door by lifting straight up, removing spring wires from hinges. Once door is disconnected from the machine, removed one hinge by removing bolt. Slid gasket into place, secured hinge back in place, then reconnected wires at bottom, replaced hinge spring wires and slid door back down onto hinges. Now that we know how to do it, could do it in 15 min to half hour.

Water leak, no power,shorted control motherboard, diverter passive main assembly rubber hose had hole in it.
repair under warranty for Home Depot. Ordered new controller, new sump manifold, new piranh clamp kit, new diverter passive main assy, installation took 6 months. Could not finish as GE had changed the diverter to a new design with the same part number that the repairman had no knowledge of and there is no part available for the same configuration of the one that went bad, after I called GE tech line they were not aware of updates. Giving me the same numbers. The new design works if you order a new conduit main. As the old one in the dishwasher will not connect to the new Diverter. New deverter no. WD19X25278 and the new main conduit is the same as the old configuration no.WD12X21681 . The repair people and parts people are not yet aware of the design change and availability of parts, as most are out of stock and no updated pictures of the new design. Repair warranty washed their hands of this and Home Depot after 6 months gave me credit of my full price I bought this for 3 yrs ago. Repairing myself and sell.

The service rack vinyl coating had worn off on the rails on the bottom resulting in the metal being exposed and rusted.
Could not do the repair. The incorrect service rack was shipped. It was a different model than what was ordered. It was a different size and would not fit. Had to ship it back at my own expense. Service rack was $77.03 and that has been reimbursed. The return shipping cost to me was $43.75. That expense still has not been reimbursed. I do not want to risk ordering another service rack and risk having to go through the same type of service again.

Dishwasher was not draining.
I listened to the DW cycles to be sure it was the drain pump (no water passes through discharge tube). We already had checked inside filter and our drain line. I watched video and saw it was a simple change. We unplugged and removed the pump and the new one fit exactly-it came with several clamps. Very simple & effective!

Wouldn't start, no lighted functions.
Shut off power at breaker, remove two screws anchoring DW to counter top . Slide DW out far enough to access door latch, disconnect electrical wiring plug, remove two Phillips head screws, install new door latch, repeat installation in reverse order.

Water Leaking from Bottom of Door
I fixed this issue by replacing the Dishwasher Tub Gasket (PS11774412) and the gasket on the bottom of the door (PS11700870). Replacing the tub gasket is very easy and straight forward. You just pull it off and put the new one on. The door gasket was much more complicated. See the steps required for replacement below:
The * indicates the part number in the diagram I am referencing
1. Remove the Toe Kick Assembly (*759)
2. Remove screws holding dishwasher to counter and pull the dishwasher out
3. With door shut, disengage the springs on both sides from the arm hinge assemblies *800 (I did this by taking the rope off the pulley hinge *734)
4. Disconnect the wire going from the dishwasher body to the door (there are two or three supports for the wire that need to be removed for it to come free)
5. Open the door about 15 degrees and pull the door upward (only one angle will work for removing the door)
6. Place the door on its front on the ground
7. Remove the two screws (*745) that hold one of the arm hinge assemblies to the door and pull the hinge away from the door (you don't need to pull it all of the way out)
8. Pull the old gasket out to the side and install the new gasket

Water would stay in the bottom of dishwasher and not pump out.
Disconnect the power and turn off water.I took the whole dishwasher out ,laid it on its side.I then unscrew the bracket that holds the pump in place.then took off the two hose clamps and took off the pump.I then installed the new pump with the new pump and hose clamps from the new kit I got.when I looked at the old pump I noticed it comes apart so I open it and noticed a toy ring gemstone price of plastic was stuck inside the pump.So at w I found out what the problem was.I was very happy that all went so wellin putting all back together and it worked. Thanks so much made me and wife happy.

Dishwasher leaking at bottom of door
Don't remove the door! Unscrew the bolts at each lower corner of the door(this is how the door is attached to the hinges so it is now free). Then open the door fully and slowly pull the door toward you a few inches. This slides the door up the hinges and allows just enough room to slide the old gasket out and and slide the new one in. Then slide the door back down the hinges(pushing it away from you, back into place). Then simply close the door and reinstall the bolts at the bottom corners and all done! I watched several videos and believe me, removing the door to replace this gasket does nothing but turn and small quick repair into a large lengthy one.

Original dishwasher racks. Both top and bottom had several prongs rust and break off. Leaving half the racks useless.
Ordered both a top and bottom rack. It's as simple as pulling the old ones out and sliding the new ones in. There's two small clips for the tops rack that need opened and placed the new rack. As well as the plastic blade. No tools were needed for any of it. Would highly recommend these as replacements if someone needs them. Couldn't be any easier.

Leak at bottom of door
Online instructions said to remove door. Found no need to. Only need to release one hinge by sliding door upward after removing 2 screws at bottom edge of door which releases both hinges. With door lifted just pry out old seal (it will be stuck so use a strong screwdriver). Then slide new seal in place. Lower door back down on hinge. Job done.
