Know Your GE Dishwasher
What Makes GE Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
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
GE Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
