    Ge dishwasher - water pump failure?
    @ 2000 GE potscrubber

    It will fill with water, and drain, but it hums like an electrical motor is stuck, and no water pressure is making it to the rotator bar. Is there a pressure pump that may have failed? It appears to do everything, but spray water. Any ideas welcome.

    TIA

    The pump may have sheared a coupling, usually plastic and rubber and fairly weasy to replace, if it uses one.

    If it doesn't then your in for a new pump and motor assembly.

    Popatim -
    I think you were right about the pump and motor assembly. The issue is now intermittent -
    Thanks for the answer.
