What To Do
• GE recommends Jet Dry ®
remove some hard water and minteral stains.
• For extreme staining, clean the interior by applying
dishwasher detergent to a damp sponge. Wear rubber
gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than those
recommended or dishwasher detergent because it may
cause foaming or sudsing. Cascade,
and Electrasol ® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have
been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see Using the
dishwasher section).
• Select HEATED DRY.
• Check the rinse agent dispenser.
• Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other
appliances from the circuit.
• Try resetting the START/RESET pad.
• Check for a wall switch that the dishwasher might be
connected to. A wall switch is required by electrical codes
in some localities. Turn the switch "on" if it is "off."
• Steam comes through the vent by the door latch during
drying and when water is being pumped out.
• Do not interrupt the cycle anytime during or after
main wash.
• Raise the water heater temperature to 120°F.
