Common GE Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher odor. GE says to scrub the filter, run an empty hot cycle with a cleaner, and confirm the drain hose has a high loop or air gap to stop sink water from siphoning back. 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
