What GE Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not cleaning. GE starts with installation: confirm the unit is on the hot water line, is level, and has a drain hose no higher than 72 inches, then clean filters and clear wash arm jets. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Poor Wash Performance
- 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
