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.
• 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.
Repeat if necessary to pump out water.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
• Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray arm can flush
the detergent cup. See the 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.
• Don't place large bowls or pots directly under the detergent dispenser.
• Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
• Select Heated Dry.
• Use Wash Temp Boost option.
• Select a higher cycle, such as Wash Temp Sani (Sanitize) or Heavy.
• Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
• 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.
