It's been a great dishwasher. Love the third rack.

It is quite common for a dishwasher to not drain because either the drain hose or the air gap (if the unit has one) is clogged up. Drain hose clogs commonly occur where the hose is attached to the main household drain line, or where the hose connects with the garbage disposer. Try removing the drain hose to unclog any debris. Don't forget to reattach the hose before you start your dishwasher again.

The "filter" locks in AFTER you attach the plastic with the hole in it. (For the filter to fit down in)

Did you ever find out if having this liq in the filter area was normal?

I just saw another video that said you could adjust the amount of drying aid that came out. It's a little dial that is next to where you pour it in. That may help it dry better.

I agree 100%. A full cycle with dry boost might take 3 hrs.... but who wants to towel dry everything in the dishwasher.

Thanks! 🙂@@carolynpeters3337

I think my wife does but I don't!

I just got mine and I’m not able to tell when it’s full 🤭

You are exactly right! I'm going through multiple videos and Nobody shows how to use it. Also not sure how much dry detergent to use and whether installers should wrap the outside of the dishwasher in insulation before installing.

@@ChannelGarrett not sure if this video will help- but I needed to watch it too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLdpn6-nqbzccaM.html (start around 7:45)

That doesn't happen with mine. Are you letting the dry cycle complete before opening the door/

@@donb1183 It's called poor quality of parts, made in china. do you understand what quality is? It sounds like you do not. It's called following the guidelines, repeatability in production, statistical quality control, not cheating with substandard materials or switching designs. Then of course you can feel comfortable buying a general electric product because you are using slave labor, Purchasing from a communist country that has no labor laws, no safety laws, or no environmental laws. Of course who in the fake news media doesn't like China in which China pays massive bribery? And they have paid off the american press as well as our politicians, especially the democrats but republicans like mich Mcconnell. A lot of people are making a lot of money off the Chinese. But don't be concerned. China is building the largest military in the world. And why does any nation build the largest military in the world in peacetime history in which their own countries are becoming wealthier? History Repeats itself, just take a look at nazi germany. American made does not mean american parts. Don't believe me? The Chinese balloon that Flew over Our country was a not a spy balloon, it was a weather balloon!!!????XXXXOOOO. Tell me, DONB1183, Are you chinese? Because if you are, Your own government has a 100 police stations here in the United States monitoring Everything you are doing. So feel good about buying general electric, a division of the communist chinese party called Hairer.

Yes, the indicator light changes from yellow to white and a cute little song is played.

To LOCK/UNLOCK the dishwasher control, depending on the model, press and hold the Dry Boost pad, or the Steam-Sani/Presoak-Sani/Sanitize pads at the same time, for 3 seconds. The Lock Controls light will turn on to indicate the control is locked and will turn off to indicate the control is unlocked.

@@donb1183 THANK YOUUUUUUU! I have to wake up in 5 hours and refused to go to bed until i figured this out. Life saver!

Sorry to hear that. Ours is now about 1 1/2 years old and continues to function perfectly, Cleans our dishes nicely and is really quiet. I don't know what you mean by "vent". Sometimes leaks occur because of incorrect installation rather than a fault with the machine. Sometimes if you set the racks too high some tall dishes or silverware can hit the washer arms. Give us some followup on what happens.

JJ... if you installed this yourself you must have done a poor job. Also like donb says sounds like a lot of user error here.

i would have to agree. We bought ours from Costo so thankfully they double the factory warranty. Just two months after the factory warranty was out the fill solenoid went bad and we went back and forth with GE trying to get someone out here to fix it and after over two months without a dishwasher they just replaced it. Now a year or so later it's not working again. Yes i did the install myself and after 36 years of installing elevators for a living i don't think it's my install that is the problem. If i get this fixed i will not be buying another GE dishwasher. It's really sad because we paid a lot of money and thought we were getting a quality, fool me once!

Press the start button before you close the door! The machine will then start when you close the door

A couple of things. Yes, use the Rinse-Aide. Make sure you are letting the machine complete the drying cycle. Don't open the door until the light changes color to indicate it is done. Make sure you have pressed the sanidry button and you should hit the start button before you close the door. Look online for a users manual and use it. This is an excellent dishwasher and if you use it properly you should be very happy with it.

@@donb1183 Thank you for the excellent info about hitting start before closing door. That is good. About the rinse-aid I will buy some today. I guess I was just thinking if the last 4 dishwashers I have had get the dishes dry without rinse aid this one should too. I will find out this week if the rinse-aid does the trick or if the particular unit I have is just a dud (at least it's under warranty).

Press next to the select cycle lights - on my model it is just to the left. Are the other buttons lighting up?

Or it could be that you have hit the child lock out button. This video explains that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdiCocSXsqnLc40.html

LOL Homedepot selling used dishwashers now? WTF?

Mine was purchased from a local appliance store and they installed it and so I have no idea if it was "wet", I don't recall it being wet when I first used it. Maybe they do but it seems doubtful to me that HD tests all of the dishwashers they sell.

Don't know about the LG but we remain very happy with our GE. Quiet and cleans our dishes great.

@@donb1183 Ok, thanks !

Try holding down the start button for 15 seconds, that usually resets the machine

So sorry. I will say that I don't think we ever use it. Most often we use the "light" setting without any temp boost and the dishes come out perfect.

To LOCK/UNLOCK the dishwasher control, depending on the model, press and hold the Dry Boost pad, or the Steam-Sani/Presoak-Sani/Sanitize pads at the same time, for 3 seconds.

It needs a user interface control board, which GE no longer stocks or has any idea when they will have them to sell. Mine had the same problem and if you do the research you will find it is a common occurrence on this model. Chinese junk. Mine was only 3 years old and it was run less than a dozen times. Even if I could get the part which cost $125 it takes 2 hours of labor to install making the bill nearly $400. So why would I spend more than half the cost of a new dishwasher to repair this Chinese junk? Ever since GE was bought out by the communist Chinese seven years ago through a company called Hairer, the quality of GE appliances has gone down the tubes. I will never buy another GE appliance. Chinese junk!

Hold 3 seconds

Does anyone know if it is rated for HE?

Frankie, sorry to hear that you had problems with yours. I wouldn't be happy with a $400 repair either. Hopefully your situation isn't the norm. We are now 2 years in on owning ours and it continues to perform flawlessly for us. The length of time for a cycle is normal for dishwashers these days given restrictions on water flow. I think GE appliance is still making quality products and ours was made in Louisville. I don't view it as Chinese junk. It is much better than our previous Bosch which many would view as a better brand.

@@donb1183 I think if you can get more than four years out of your dishwasher, then you will be very lucky indeed. If you have done the research as I have done, then you will find that premature failure of the user interface control board is a common problem. My dishwasher was made in China and I stand by the point that it is Chinese junk. You will soon discover that the parts used in your dishwasher are also made in China. And it is easy to find many KZfaq videos demonstrating the failure and repair as long as you can get the part. However, GE no longer stocks the part and has no idea when they're going to get it!!! So without being able to buy a replacement user interface control board, the machine is worthless. It's Chinese junk. And I will never buy another General Electric Appliance again because they have been fully run, controlled and are owned by communist Chinese. Why would I spend $400 to repair machine that is only three years old and more than half the cost of a new one, even if I could get the part?? It's absolutely terrible and it makes no sense whatsoever from a financial standpoint. Chinese junk as all GE Appliances have become since they were bought out by the Chinese about 7 years ago. Talk to me after you get a couple more years of service and tell me if your machine is still running. I think you're going to find this is a common failure because that's what the research shows. In the meantime you might want to start picking out a new dishwasher, because it's likely you're going to need one.

@@frankie7508 If you did all this research and found out that a GE dishwasher is Chinese Communist junk, why did you buy one?

@@donb1183 your assumptions are dead wrong. It came equipped from the builder of the new home I purchased. Purchased best grade appliances, but to no success. Chinese junk!!!

@@frankie7508 Again, I am sorry you have had problems. Mine continues to perform flawlessly. And as stated on the machine it was Made In America.
