Common GE Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not filling. GE says to confirm the hot water valve under the sink is fully open and the supply line is not kinked, then check that the flood float moves freely. 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
