What GE Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not drying. GE says rinse aid matters most and to choose a heated or Dry Boost option instead of air dry, noting that some drops on plastics are normal. 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

Before the Technician Arrives
- The brand, model and serial number from the label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub opening
- What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, leaks, dirty or wet dishes)
- Whether the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal or straight to the sink drain
What DeForest Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in DeForest come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a DeForest Technician
