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 not cleaning. GE starts with installation: confirm the unit is on the hot water line, is level, and has a drain hose no higher than 72 inches, then clean filters and clear wash arm jets. Source: GE Appliances - Dishwasher Poor Wash Performance
