What a GE Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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
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
