Dishwasher Doesn't Drain

Apr 01, 2005 3 Replies

Our GE dishwasher suddenly refuses to drain. The solenoid was replaced by the technician on his second visit. The dishwasher drains to the disposal. The dishwasher still doesn't drain and is beginning to dribble water around the door. Can anyone suggest what might be the cause of the drainage problem?
