WHAT TO DO
• This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from
happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash
glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.
• See A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in this
Troubleshooting section.
• This could be etching. Lower the water heater temperature.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.
Cascade Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been
®
approved for use in all GE dishwashers.
• To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let suds
dissipate. Open the door, press and hold START for 3 seconds, and
close the door.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
• Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray arm can
flush the detergent cup. See Loading the dishwasher section.
• Reposition the tall utensils or heavy silverware that may be
keeping the dispenser cup door from opening. See the Loading
the dishwasher section.
•
• Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
• Select Heated Dry.
• Use Boost Temp option.
• Select a higher cycle, such as Sanitize Temp or Heavy.
• Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
• Select the Max Dry option to improve dry performance.
• Allow the fan to run an additional 90 minutes after the Clean light
appears. Note: If you open the door, this fan extension will be cancelled.
• 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.
• GE recommends Cascade
®
mineral deposits from forming.
• Run dishwasher with citric acid to remove mineral deposits. Citric
acid (Part number: WD35X151) can be ordered through GE Parts.
See back cover for ordering information. Alternatively, purchase
Lemi Shine 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.
• Unlock control panel. See the Getting started section.
• Models are equipped with leak detection and the cycle will
be cancelled if a leak is detected. The display will show "LEAK
DETECTED". Call for service.
• See the Using the dishwasher section.
