What Makes GE Dishwasher Repairs Different
The drain hose must have a high loop fastened under the counter at the height in the installation instructions unless an air gap is installed, and the drain hose should not run more than 72 inches high. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Common GE Dishwasher Problems
- 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
- Dishwasher not starting. GE says to check the wall switch and breaker, latch the door fully, turn off Control Lock, and on top-control models close the door within a few seconds of pressing Start. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher FAQs
GE Dishwasher Problems Worth a Service Call

Dishwasher Notes for Clive, IA
Most dishwasher calls in Clive come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
