Common GE dishwasher problems
Water left in the bottom
A clogged filter or drain hose, a jammed drain pump, or a garbage disposal knockout plug that was never removed when the dishwasher was installed.
Dishes come out dirty
Clogged spray arms or filter, water that isn't hot enough, or a weak wash pump.
Leaking
A worn door gasket, a cracked spray arm, a leaking inlet valve, or regular dish soap used by mistake.
Won't start or stops mid-cycle
A door latch switch, the control board or a thermal fuse.
Check these before you call
If one of these fixes it, you don't need us.
- Pull out and rinse the filter at the bottom of the tub. Many models need this every month.
- Run the kitchen tap until it's hot before you start a cycle.
- If it was just installed and won't drain, check the knockout plug in the garbage disposal inlet.
- Check the breaker, and the wall switch under the sink if you have one.
Repair or replace?
A leaking tub or a failed control board on an older, low-end dishwasher can cost more than replacing it. We'll quote first so you can decide.

Are you an authorized GE service center?
No. Fix Now Appliance is an independent repair company, not affiliated with GE. If your GE dishwasher is still under the manufacturer's warranty, call GE first, because their warranty repair is free. Once it's out of warranty, we can fix it.
Why does a cycle take two or three hours?
Many newer dishwashers run that long on a normal cycle to save water and energy. That's by design, not a fault.
Why does my dishwasher smell?
Food stuck in the filter is the usual reason. Clean the filter and run a hot empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner.
Something stopped working?
7 days a week, 8 AM–6 PM. Most repairs done on the first visit.
