What To Do
Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.
Finish ® Quantum ® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent
has been approved for use in all GE Appliances
dishwashers.
To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and
let suds dissipate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub.
Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by
slowly turning the dial until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Turn the timer dial to OFF.
Reposition the dishes. See the Loading section.
Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
Select HEATED DRY.
Use HOT START and ADDED HEAT options.
Select a higher cycle, such as POTS & PANS or HEAVY
WASH.
Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
Call for service.
Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is
turned on.
