Check and make sure that the drain solenoid is closing.

Make sure that the water is just below the heating element.

If you have broken anything in the dishwasher lately you may have a broken wash impeller.

Here is a link to your dishwasher model GSD3800G00BB.

there is only a little amount of water on the bottom from which it comes out of the tower. is the soleniod labeled as "(item 497) PS260117
SOLENOID & BRKT ASM (SOLENOID & B)"? how do i test it?

[PS Staff - Sheila]

Yes number 497 is the solenoid.

To test turn the dishwasher to the drain cycle and watch the operation of the solenoid.

Also check and see if water is entering the dishwasher.

To do this turn the dishwasher on and listen for the water then open the door and check the water level.

If no water is coming in you will need a fill valve.

This is the valve that the water line hooks to.

It is number 744 on the body parts breakdown.
