GE Profile PDT785SBNTS Dishwasher Repair

Most common issues on this model

Wet loads even after Twin Turbo Dry Boost
Variable-speed pump changing pitch or grinding
Drain failing to clear the tub
Disposer jam from a hard object
Top pad slow to respond

PDT785SBNTS is a GE Profile ENERGY STAR dishwasher with top controls, a tall tub and a stainless steel interior with a stainless tub-door liner. Its listing includes a Sanitize cycle, Twin Turbo Dry Boost, a 39 dBA quiet package and variable-speed dual pumps and motors, in a 24 in electric build.

The quiet rating makes odd noise easy to notice, so a new buzz or a rough grind is worth a call. Because the pumps are variable-speed, we listen across the whole cycle and not just the first minute. A load that is wet at the end sends us to the heater, the fan and the vent in the Twin Turbo drying path. If the disposer is jammed by a hard object, we free it before we test its motor.

Before ordering parts we read the model and serial from the label. We give a written price in advance, and our work is covered by a 30-day warranty.

PDT785SBNTSPDT785SBNTS questions

What is special about the 39 dBA rating?

It is the quiet package listed for this model. Because the dishwasher runs so quietly, small changes in sound, such as a hum or a click, are easy to hear and worth checking.

Why do I hear the pump speed change?

The pumps on this model are variable-speed, so pitch rises and falls with the wash stage. A steady grind or sharp surge is different and tells us to inspect the motor and the impeller.

What should I do if the drain stops?

Remove the lower rack and check the filter for debris, then call us. If the drain is still blocked, we test the pump and hose, and we clear a jammed disposer if needed.
