What a GE Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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
GE Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
Connected GE Profile dishwashers send SmartHQ app alerts when something keeps a load from washing well, along with cycle status and remote control lock. Source: GE Appliances - Connected Dishwashers
GE Dishwasher Problems Worth a Service Call
