What To Do
Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.
Finish ® Quantum ® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent
has been approved for use in all GE Appliances
dishwashers.
To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and
let suds dissipate. Pump out water by pressing Start and
close the door. Wait 30 seconds. Open the door, press
and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door. Repeat
if necessary.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray
arm can flush the detergent cup. See the Loading section.
Reposition the tall utensils or heavy silverware that may
be keeping the dispenser cup door from opening. See
the Loading section.
Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
Select Heated Dry.
Use Wash Temp Boost.
Select a higher cycle, such as Wash Temp Sani,
Sanitize Temp or Heavy.
Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
If using Light cycle which uses lower water temperature
and thus limited dry performance, switch to a different cycle.
Allow cycles to fully complete. See Long cycle times in
this Troubleshooting Tips section
Longer cycles are normal. For best wash and dry
performance, let cycle complete.
The turbidity sensor senses how much soil is on the
dishes. Heavy soiled dish loads will add more time to
the cycle. This is normal function. For best wash and dry
performance, allow cycle to complete.
Make sure the door is firmly closed.
Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is
turned on.
Remove Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under the
ultra fine filter that looks like a salt shaker. Replace the filter.
