GE GDF510PSR0SS dishwasher Parts

For your GE GDF510PSR0SS dishwasher, we recommend ordering parts using your complete model number and serial number so you get the correct fit. You can order replacement parts from the parts list for this model, and you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect. Part identification and diagrams are also listed in the GDF510PSR0SS owner's manual.

• Use the full model number GDF510PSR0SS (found on the tub wall just inside the door).
• Have the serial number ready; it helps confirm the exact production version.
• Match by part ID when possible (example: GE dishwasher pressure sensor WD21X25468).
• If a part shows out of stock or backordered, check the parts list again later for availability.
• If you are ordering for a symptom (not a known broken part), confirm the issue first to avoid returns.

Contact Sears PartsDirect support when:

• You want help confirming the correct part using your model and serial number.
• You are ordering multiple parts (for example, a pump plus clamps) and want to verify compatibility.
• You need help identifying a part from symptoms or diagrams.

Dishwashers often have multiple versions within the same model family. Using the exact model and serial number helps ensure the replacement part matches the wiring, mounting points, and control configuration for your specific GE GDF510PSR0SS.

On the GE GDF510PSR0SS dishwasher, we remove the filter by pulling out the bottom rack, then twisting the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise and lifting it out; the “spinner” (spray arm) comes off after the filter area is clear and you release its retaining connection per the GDF510PSR0SS owner's manual.

• Turn the dishwasher off and let the interior cool at least 20 minutes after a cycle.
• Pull the bottom rack all the way out and remove it.
• Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise.
• Lift the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly straight up and out.
• If your unit has a 2-piece filter with a Filter Basket, twist the basket counterclockwise to unlock, pull it out, and dump debris.
• Rinse filters with warm, soapy water; use a soft sponge (avoid scouring pads that can scratch).

Most GE dishwashers use a lower spray arm that either lifts off a hub or releases from a center retainer.

• Remove the bottom rack first.
• Clear any large debris around the spray arm hub.
• Release the center connection (cap, nut, or locking tab depending on version), then lift the spray arm up and off.
• Inspect the spray arm holes for clogs; rinse and clear with warm water.

If you’re replacing the lower spray arm for this model, match it to the correct part: GE dishwasher spray arm, lower WD22X33499.

• Filter seats flat and twists clockwise to lock
• Filter basket (if present) locks fully into the assembly
• Spray arm spins freely by hand and does not rub the filter
• Bottom rack rolls in without contacting the spray arm

A clogged Ultra-Fine Filter or a restricted spray arm reduces water flow, which leads to poor cleaning, detergent left in the cup, and gritty residue on dishes.

Yes, repairing a GE dishwasher like model GDF510PSR0SS is worth it when the unit is under 10 years old, the repair is a common wear item (latch, pump, valve, heater), and the total repair cost stays well below the cost of a comparable new dishwasher. Use the GDF510PSR0SS owner's manual to confirm symptoms, error indicators, and safe power shutoff steps before you start.

• The dishwasher is under 10 years old and the tub is in good condition (no major rust-through or structural damage).
• The problem is one clear failure, not multiple recurring issues.
• The repair is a serviceable part (pump, valve, heater, latch, control fuse).
• You are not seeing repeated leaks from multiple locations.
• The dishwasher still fills, washes, and drains normally after basic cleaning and reset steps.

In most homes, we use this simple comparison to decide.

These are frequent fixes that can restore performance without replacing the dishwasher:

• No heat or poor drying: dishwasher heating element WD05X35098
• Won’t drain or leaves standing water: dishwasher drain pump WD19X25461
• Not filling or fills slowly: water valve assembly WD15X27703
• Door won’t latch or won’t start: door latch WD01X29878 and the strike (alignment matters)
• Intermittent fill/wash issues: pressure sensing problems can point to the pressure sensor

A targeted repair keeps a solid GE dishwasher running for years, but repeated failures usually mean higher total cost and more downtime than replacing. The best value comes from fixing one confirmed fault, then doing basic maintenance (filters, spray arms, and interior cleaning) to prevent repeat problems.

If you cannot find a part for your GE GDF510PSR0SS dishwasher, we recommend confirming the full model number from the rating label and then using the exploded-view diagrams in the GDF510PSR0SS owner’s manual to match the exact part name and location before ordering.

• Confirm the model number is GDF510PSR0SS (found on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door).
• Search using the part name (example: “door latch” or “drain pump”), not only a number.
• Check for common naming variations (example: “main wash pump” vs. “wash pump assembly”).
• Look at the diagram section in the manual to identify the correct sub-assembly (door, sump, pump, control).
• If the dishwasher will not run, check the home breaker or fuse first; a power issue can look like a “bad part.”

Use these steps to narrow it down to the right component group:

Dishwasher parts are often sold as assemblies (for example, a pump assembly vs. a single seal). Matching the diagram location and description to your GE GDF510PSR0SS prevents ordering a similar-looking part that will not fit.

A GE dishwasher like model GDF510PSR0SS typically lasts 10 to 12 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, correct detergent use, and fixing small leaks or draining issues early are the biggest factors that keep the wash system and controls running longer.

• Water quality and hardness; hard water speeds up mineral buildup on internal parts
• Cleaning and deodorizing routine (helps prevent film, odors, and performance loss)
• Detergent and rinse aid choices; using the right type reduces residue and etching risk
• Loading habits; blocked spray paths make the pump work harder
• Early repair of symptoms (poor cleaning, not draining, leaks) before they stress the motor and electronics

Use the steps and intervals in the GDF510PSR0SS owner's manual. In most homes, these habits make the biggest difference:

• Wipe the door and control panel with a lightly damp cloth, then dry
• Run a dishwasher cleaner or citric-acid cleaning cycle periodically to break up mineral deposits
• Keep spray paths clear; remove labels, seeds, and debris that can clog wash action
• Use only dishwasher-approved detergent and rinse agent; avoid over-dosing in soft or very hot water
• Address draining or standing-water issues quickly to prevent pump strain

If you are chasing a door leak on this model, the dishwasher tub gasket WD08X23476 is a common sealing part to inspect for wear, flattening, or damage.

A dishwasher’s life expectancy is mostly about how hard the wash system has to work. Mineral buildup, blocked spray, and small leaks force longer run times and higher load on the wash pump, heater, and electronic control board.

The most common GE dishwasher problem we see is poor draining (water left in the tub), followed closely by poor cleaning and “won’t start” symptoms. On GE model GDF510PSR0SS, these issues are often tied to a clogged drain path, a door-latch/strike problem, or a wash system component that is not moving water correctly (see the GDF510PSR0SS owner's manual).

• Dishwasher won’t drain: food debris in the sump area, a restricted drain hose, or a failing drain pump.
• Dishwasher won’t start: door not fully latched, a misaligned strike, or a control issue.
• Not cleaning well: blocked spray arm holes, low water fill, or detergent not dispensing.
• Leaks at the door: worn or mis-seated tub gasket.
• Detergent left in the cup: dishes blocking the dispenser door (a common loading issue).

1. Confirm the door closes firmly and the rack is not preventing closure.
2. Check loading so tall items do not block the detergent dispenser.
3. Use automatic dishwasher detergent only (hand soap causes suds and poor wash performance).
4. Clean and deodorize the interior periodically (citric acid or dishwasher cleaner helps remove mineral film).
5. Run hot water at the sink before starting a cycle so the dishwasher fills with hotter water.

Drain, latch, and wash-circulation problems can look like “the dishwasher is bad,” but they are usually a single restriction (clog) or a single failed component. Fixing the root cause restores cleaning, prevents odors, and helps avoid repeat cycle failures.

On your GE dishwasher model GDF510PSR0SS, the model number is printed on the rating label located on the tub wall just inside the door (typically on the left-hand side). The same label also lists the serial number.

• 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 with Model # and Serial # fields.
• Write the model number down exactly as shown (letters and numbers).

The rating label is usually a small sticker or plate with appliance details. For exact placement and examples, use the GDF510PSR0SS owner's manual.

We use the model number to match your dishwasher to the correct GE parts, including common replacements like the door latch WD01X29878 or the dishwasher electronic control board WD21X32938. Even small model differences can change which part fits.
