Common Questions
29 totalWhat should I do if the RINSING light keeps flashing and the dishwasher is beeping?
This indicates a Control Error. Press the START/RESET pad to turn off the beeper, then turn off power at the circuit breaker for 10 seconds and restore power. If the rinsing light continues to flash after restoring power, call for service. (Page 11)
What is the correct water temperature for the dishwasher to clean effectively?
The entering water must be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. You can check the water temperature using a candy or meat thermometer by running hot water from the nearest faucet into a glass until the temperature stops rising. (Page 12)
Why are there spots and film on my glasses and flatware, and how do I fix it?
Spots and film are commonly caused by hard water, low inlet water temperature, or an empty rinse agent dispenser. Use Jet-Dry rinse agent to remove spots and prevent new film buildup. For stubborn existing film, run the longest cycle without detergent, and after 18–22 minutes pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher and allow the cycle to complete. (Page 21)
How do I remove suds from the dishwasher tub if the wrong detergent was used?
Open the dishwasher and let the suds dissipate, then add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the door, then pump out the water by pressing START/RESET and immediately pressing START/RESET again. Repeat this process if necessary, and always use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. (Page 20)
How do I delay the start of a wash cycle?
Press the DELAY START pad to choose the number of hours you want to delay the start, up to a maximum of 8 hours. The machine will count down and start automatically at the correct time. Pressing the START/RESET button will cancel the DELAY START selection. (Page 10)
Why didn't the SANITIZED light come on at the end of the SaniWash cycle?
The SANITIZED light will not illuminate if the cycle was interrupted during or after the main wash portion, or if the incoming water temperature was too low to achieve adequate heating. To prevent this, do not open the door anytime during or after the main wash, and ensure your water heater is set to at least 120°F. (Page 23)

4Warning!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.Water Heater Safety

Safety Information Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service Using the dishwasher. 12 Check the Water Temperature Use Jet-Dry ® Rinse Agent Jet-Dry® rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Fill the rinse agent dispenser until it reaches the bottom of lip inside the opening. Do not overfill the dispenser. Replace cap. To check if rinse agent is needed, press the clear center of the fill cap 2 or 3 times. If rinse agent fills the center of the fill cap, you have enough. A full dispenser should last about one month. If rinse agent is spilled, wipe up the excess. Using the Dishwasher Door The door must be closed and locked into place to select a LOAD SELECTION or an OPTION. If the door is opened during a cycle and left open, the dishwasher will beep once every minute until the door is closed and latched into place. 2 1 Dish Preparation Prior to Loading I No pre-rinsing of normal food soil is required. I Scrape off hard soils, including bones, toothpicks, skins, and seeds. I Remove large quantities of any remaining food. I Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil. I Remove acidic food soils that can discolor stainless steel. The entering water must be at least 120°F. and not more than 150°F., for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.
Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety Information 13 Forget to Add a Dish? A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash. Push the door latch to the left. Do not open the door until the water spray action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher. Add forgotten dishes. Close the door and push the latch to the far right. 4 3 2 1 Proper Use of Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes. You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles with a pre-wash and a main wash will also use the open cup. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, fill the main cup and open cup completely. With soft water, fill both cups halfway. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and close. Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching. NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been closed, unlatch the door. Press the START/RESET pad three times within two seconds and the detergent cup will release. You may also turn the detergent cup handle counter-clockwise until it releases. A snapping sound may be heard. Open cup Main cup
Safety Information Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service Loading the dishwasher racks. For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. Upper Rack Although the upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can be placed in this rack for effective cleaning. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. The cup shelf (on some models) may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. A wine glass holder (on some models) secures wine glasses at an angle for best washability. Because wine glasses come in various sizes, after loading, slowly push in the rack to make sure they will clear the top of the dishwasher. The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd- shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down. Fold- down fingers (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers when possible. Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heater. Be sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack. Check to make sure that tall items will not block rotation of the top wash arm. The Wash Tower Keep the center area clear in the lower rack. The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. The wash tower shoots water into the mid-level wash arm located under the upper rack. Blocking the wash tower could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack. Don’t block or load tall things next to the Wash Tower. 14
Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Operating Instructions Safety Information 15 Lower Rack When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle. The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go along the right-hand side. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and cause poor washing results. Fold-down fingers (on some models) provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items. The fingers may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack. Silverware Basket A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece silverware basket in your dishwasher. The complete basket is designed to fit on the right side or back of the lower rack. Additionally, each end of the basket is removable to better accommodate flatware and lower rack capacity needs. To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side. Put flatware in the basket with knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids for small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top. The lids of both end baskets can be closed to contain small items. Long items can be placed on the cupshelf in the upper rack. Don’t let any item extend through bottom. To remove end baskets, grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart. The basket sections should be placed in the lower rack by hanging them on the top hoop.

The Stainless Steel Panels The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. You can order Stainless Steel Magic # WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling 800-626-2002. Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap? An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one. The air gap is easy to clean. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome cover. Remove the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick. 2 1 Two types of air gaps 18 Caring for the dishwasher. To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher. Protect Against Freezing If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to: Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve. Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.) Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve. 4 3 2 1 Safety Information Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service
