- 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
