GE GDF510PSD2SS dishwasher Parts

On the GE GDF510PSD2SS dishwasher, we remove the filter by pulling out the bottom rack, twisting the large round (ultra-fine) filter to unlock it, then lifting it out; the fine filter (mesh plate) comes out after you twist the two retaining posts. For the “spinner” (spray arm), we remove the rack(s) that block access, then release the spray arm fastener and lift the arm off.

Filter removal (ultra-fine and fine filters)

Follow the steps in the GDF510PSD2SS owner’s manual for the exact filter layout.

• Remove the lower rack to access the sump area.
• Twist the large round ultra-fine filter to unlock, then lift it out.
• Rinse with warm, soapy water; use a soft sponge for stuck-on debris.
• For the fine filter (mesh plate), remove the ultra-fine filter first.
• Twist the two retaining posts at the back bottom of the tub, then lift out the fine filter.
• Reinstall: fine filter first, then ultra-fine filter; twist to lock.

Cleaning tips that prevent damage

What to use	What to avoid	Why
Warm soapy water	Scouring pads	Abrasives can damage filter surfaces
Soft sponge	Stiff brushes	Can tear or deform mesh
Soft brush (only if needed)	Powered cleaners	Can scratch and reduce performance

“Spinner” (spray arm) removal and checks

Dishwashers typically have a lower spray arm and, on many models, a middle spray arm under the upper rack.

• Remove the lower rack to reach the lower spray arm.
• If the spray arm is held by a center nut or cap, turn it counterclockwise to release (hand-tight parts are common).
• Lift the spray arm straight up and off its mount.
• Rinse the spray arm and clear clogged jet holes with warm water.
• Reinstall and confirm it spins freely by hand before running a cycle.

If your lower spray arm is cracked, warped, or the jets will not clear, replace it with the exact model-matched part, such as the dishwasher spray arm, lower WD22X33499.

Why it matters

Clean filters and free-spinning spray arms restore water flow and pressure, which prevents gritty dishes, poor cleaning, and drainage issues. GE recommends inspecting and cleaning the filters periodically (about every other month, depending on usage).

On the GE GDF510PSD2SS dishwasher, the most commonly replaced parts are the wash system items (spray arms and filters), heat and drain components, and door sealing and latching parts. These parts wear from normal use, mineral buildup, clogs, and repeated door cycles; routine filter cleaning helps prevent many failures.

Most common dishwasher parts that get replaced

• Spray arms that clog or crack (poor cleaning, no spray) such as the dishwasher spray arm, lower WD22X33499
• Filters that clog (gritty dishes, weak wash); inspect and clean periodically as described in the GDF510PSD2SS owner’s manual
• Heater circuit parts (poor drying, cool water) such as the dishwasher heater element WD05X30818
• Drain parts (standing water, slow drain) such as the dishwasher drain hose WD24X10062 or dishwasher drain pump WD19X25187
• Door latch and strike (won’t start, door won’t stay latched) such as the GE dishwasher door latch lock WD21X10490 and dishwasher door latch strike WD13X10071
• Door seals and leak points (water on floor) such as the dishwasher tub gasket WD08X23476

Quick symptom-to-part cheat sheet

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for GDF510PSD2SS
Dishes not clean	Spray and filtration	Lower/middle spray arm, circulation pump filter
Dishes not drying	Heating	Heater element
Water left in tub	Drain	Drain hose, drain pump
Won’t start or stops	Door latch	Door latch lock, latch strike
Leaks at door/tub	Sealing	Tub gasket

What we recommend checking first (before buying parts)

• Clean the filters and re-seat them; clogged filters commonly cause gritty residue and weak wash.
• Inspect spray arm holes for debris; clear blockages and confirm arms spin freely.
• Confirm the door closes firmly and the latch engages; a misaligned strike can mimic a bad latch.
• Check for a clogged air gap (if your installation uses one) and for kinks in the drain hose.
• If the dishwasher shows an error, match it to the fault before replacing electronics using GE electronic dishwasher error codes.

Why it matters

Replacing the correct part saves time and prevents repeat problems. For example, a clogged filter or blocked spray arm can look like a failing pump, and a door that is not latching can look like a power or control issue.

On the GE GDF510PSD2SS dishwasher, the main parts include the wash system (spray arms and filters), heating and drying components, racks, and door hardware, plus the controls that run cycles. These parts work together to fill, wash, drain, and dry your dishes.

Core dishwasher parts (what they do)

• Spray arms: spin and spray water to clean dishes
• Filters: trap food soil to protect the pump and improve cleaning
• Heating element: heats water and helps with drying
• Detergent dispenser: releases detergent at the right time (avoid blocking it with tall items)
• Racks and basket: hold dishes and silverware for proper water coverage
• Door latch system: keeps the door closed so the unit can run safely
• Drain system: pushes used water out through the drain hose
• Controls/user interface: selects cycles and runs the wash program

Model-specific examples for GE GDF510PSD2SS

Here are common, replaceable parts you will see on this model:

System	Example part on this model	What you notice when it fails
Wash action	Dishwasher spray arm, lower WD22X33499	Poor cleaning, debris left on lower rack
Heating/drying	Dishwasher heater element WD05X30818	Dishes not drying, cooler wash results
Door closing	GE dishwasher door latch lock WD21X10490	Dishwasher will not start or stops mid-cycle
Filtration	Dishwasher circulation pump filter WD49X24057	Gritty dishes, reduced wash performance

Why it matters

When one main part is clogged, worn, or broken, you usually see symptoms like dishes not getting clean, standing water, or the dishwasher not starting. Keeping filters clean and loading racks correctly helps the spray arms and detergent dispenser do their job.

Where to confirm locations and care steps

Use the GDF510PSD2SS owner’s manual for diagrams, loading guidance, detergent use, and filter cleaning intervals.

On your GE GDF510PSD2SS dishwasher, the model number is printed on the rating label on the tub wall just inside the door (typically on the left-hand side). The same label also lists the serial number, which helps when ordering parts or arranging service.

Where to look (quick checklist)

• Open the dishwasher door fully.
• Look along the tub wall just inside the door opening.
• Check the left-hand side first (most common location).
• Find the rating label or data plate (a printed sticker or metal tag).
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.

What the label looks like

Most GE dishwasher rating labels include:

• Model # (example: GDF510PSD2SS)
• Serial #
• Electrical information (voltage/amps)
• Certification markings

Item on label	What it’s used for	When you’ll need it
Model number	Confirms the exact dishwasher version	Ordering the correct replacement parts
Serial number	Identifies production details	Warranty and service calls

Why it matters

GE often uses similar-looking designs across multiple dishwasher series, and small model differences can change which spray arm, control, or door parts fit. Using the exact model number helps us match the right diagrams and parts the first time.

Helpful tip for this model

If you are cleaning the exterior door panel, the last two letters of the model number help identify the door type. For GDF510PSD2SS, the SS ending indicates a stainless steel door panel. See the cleaning guidance in the GDF510PSD2SS owner’s manual.
