GE Appliances recommends high quality rinse agents such as
Cascade Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or

deposits from forming.
Run dishwasher with citric acid to remove mineral
deposits. Citric acid (Part number: WD35X151) can
be ordered through GE Appliances Parts. See back
cover for ordering information. Alternatively, purchase
Cascade Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish
®
Dishwasher Cleaner and follow the directions on the
label.
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other
appliances from the circuit.
In some installations, the power to the dishwasher is
provided through a wall switch, often located next to the
disposer switch. Make sure it is on.
