GE Dishwasher Lines and Features
How GE Dishwashers Are Built
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 drying. GE says rinse aid matters most and to choose a heated or Dry Boost option instead of air dry, noting that some drops on plastics are normal. 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
GE Dishwasher Problems Worth a Service Call
- Standing water in the bottom after a cycle
- Grinding, humming or buzzing during the cycle
- Detergent left in the dispenser after the cycle
