How GE Dishwashers Are Built
The UltraFresh System empties the water sump after the cycle and uses a fan to pull fresh air through the tub to limit odor. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile Dishwashers
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

What Knoxville Owners Should Know
Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB), which supplies Knoxville, reports hardness of averages about 94 ppm (mg/L), moderately hard. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: KUB 2025 Water Quality Report
Tennessee's Board for Licensing Contractors does not list an appliance repair license among the licenses it issues (general contractor, home improvement, limited licensed electrician and limited licensed plumber). Source: TN Board for Licensing Contractors
In Tennessee, you can check a license with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance: Verify a License or report a problem to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs (Office of the Attorney General).
