Know Your GE Dishwasher
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
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
Common GE Dishwasher Problems
- 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
Signs Your GE Dishwasher Needs a Technician
- Water on the floor in front of the dishwasher
- Dishes come out dirty or gritty
- Dishwasher fills slowly or does not fill
