How GE Dishwashers Are Built

What GE Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not draining. GE says to clean the fine and ultra fine filters and clear the sump first, then check for a disposer drain plug, a kinked drain hose, and a missing high loop or clogged air gap. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Does Not Drain
- 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
Signs Your GE Dishwasher Needs a Technician
- Grinding, humming or buzzing during the cycle
