Know Your GE Dishwasher
What Makes GE Dishwasher Repairs Different
Many models use removable fine and ultra fine filters at the bottom of the tub that the owner must take out and rinse, and some water sitting in the sump is normal on ultra fine filter models. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Does Not Drain
The UltraFresh System empties the water sump after the cycle and uses a fan to pull fresh air through the tub to limit odor. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile Dishwashers
GE Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks
- Dishwasher odor. GE says to scrub the filter, run an empty hot cycle with a cleaner, and confirm the drain hose has a high loop or air gap to stop sink water from siphoning back. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher FAQs
- Dishwasher noise. GE says humming and swishing are normal, but rattling or grinding can mean a hard object is caught in the pump and steady squealing can point to a worn pump motor. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher FAQs
Connected GE Profile dishwashers send SmartHQ app alerts when something keeps a load from washing well, along with cycle status and remote control lock. Source: GE Appliances - Connected Dishwashers
Signs Your GE Dishwasher Needs a Technician
- Dishwasher fills slowly or does not fill
- Water on the floor in front of the dishwasher
- Dishes stay wet at the end of the cycle
