Sump Assembly - GE GLDA690 Technical Service Manual

Sump Assembly

The sump assembly consists of the fi lter assembly,
micro-fi lter, sump clamping nut, sump gasket, and
sump. The fi lter assembly prevents large particles
from reaching the micro-fi lter and the micro-fi lter
prevents small particles from reaching the sump.
The fi lter assembly rests above the sump and
the micro-fi lter sits above the sump basin. The
clamping nut holds the sump gasket and sump to
the bottom of the dishwasher. The fi lter assembly,
micro-fi lter, and sump clamping nut are accessed
from inside the dishwasher. The gasket and sump
are located under the tub in front of the motor
pump assembly.
To remove the sump assembly:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Open the dishwasher door and remove the
bottom rack.
3. Remove the dishwasher from its installation.
4. Lay the dishwasher on its back.
5. Disconnect the thermistor wire harness.

Note: The sump clamping nut turns
counterclockwise and may be diffi cult to remove. It
may be helpful to insert a ¾-in. wide x 4½-in. long
piece of wood between the clamping nut tabs to
enable you to apply suffi cient torque to break the
factory seal.
