GDF630PSM1SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Dead spot in motor
Not having to screw with the hose clamps is the advantage here!
Disconnect electric connection at motor.
Slightly bend tabs that hold the pump to motor, twist motor from volute.
Do this on old pump first to get a feel for how easy the tabs can be broken
Do same on the replacement pump, put new motor on, watch alignment
can be a bit tricky.

Old corroded gasket
Replaced gasket with a new one before further problems occurred. Got to get it in but it was relatively easy to place and snap in just make sure it fits on the right place where gasket inside meets ridges on door so it will be on properly for proper fit.

Door gasket needed to be replaced
Simple answer- do not try to do this. GE makes you replace the entire door to replace this $3 part or call them and pay $100s to fix it. We decided to replace the entire dishwasher after we went through disassembly (there are no instructions on this) only to find out we could not fix without a brand new door.

old nasty gasket needed to be replaced
youtube youtube youtube!
No videos for the exact unit, but I got the gist from one video which included the trick of holding the door hinge springs in place with allen wrenches, while the door slid up and away for access to the gasket. I also had to pull the unit out from under the counter by about a foot. No need to disconnect anything. Good luck.

No water getting to the dishwasher
Researched what others have posted about on Parts select. That really helped with the diagnosis! Took a chance on a $28 part. Repairman was going to charge $150 just to show up, then diagnose, leave for 2 months while waiting for the part, charge another $150 plus the part to fix…
Just had to pull out dishwasher far enough to take the water supply line off. Then the water inlet solenoid then 2 more screws and a 2 pronged plug reattach water supply then done! 15 minutes MAX!!!

Dishwasher wouldn't turn on without turning off the breaker for 30 seconds or more.
This is for a front facing control panel, not a top facing one. Likely similar process.
Remove lower splash guard, raise the feet all the way, pull out dishwasher about 6-inches. Remove the two small screws from the bottom of the door that hold the outer door liner to the inner door liner.
Disconnect the pull-cord from the spring assembly. Open the door about 1/3 and lift the door off. Be careful, there's not a ton of slack in the wire loom. Put it on towels on the floor to avoid scratching the door.
Separate the two door panels by sliding the outer liner upward and off.
Disconnect the steam vent by twisting off the cap on the inside and lifting up.
Using the pick tool, pull up on the plastic on the inside of the control panel assembly and pop it out from the little silver tabs on the outer door. Once all of them are popped (4 or 5), it will lift right off.
Disconnect the connector from the control board. Take out the two screws holding the control board in. Replace, and reverse procedure for reassembly.

Dish rack prongs rusted and broke off
It wasnt exactly the right lower dish rack to hold silverware holder. Instead of the trouble of sending it back we will use it. Silverware holder takes up some of the space for other dishes.
