What Makes GE Dishwasher Repairs Different
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 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
- 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
