Steps:
1. A dishwasher begins the cycle by running a discharge pump to empty any remaining liquid in the machine.
2. Next, hot water enters from the side and fills a reservoir at the bottom until it activates a float. In some cycles, an electrical element can heat the water to sanitize dishes.
3. Once the reservoir is filled, a pump sprays water and soap all over the dishes.
4. At the end of the cycle, the pump will discharge water out of the drain.
5. The number of cycles is determined by user settings.

  1. Your are wrong!!! Float doesn't trigger the water intake solenoid until water level is reached. GE dishwashers let flow water during 44 seconds before starting the washing cycle. Float is a security that triggers the solenoid ONLY if water level becomes too high.
    I'm having problems right now because pressure is to low and 44 seconds of water is not enough to clean the dishes well…

  6. Why do people need videos like this? The stupidity is astounding. Who would put suds producing detergent in a dish washing machine

    The dishwasher he is showing as an example is a very cheap one
