• Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the
others. To relight, touch any pad again, or unlock and
relatch door.
• Detergent cup opening
• The motor stopping during the drying period.
• Water draining out of the tub immediately after you
touch START/RESET pad.
• Make sure everything is secured in dishwasher.
• Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis. If you
do not use your dishwwasher often, set it to fill and pump
out once every week. This will help keep the seal moist.
• Reposition the dishes
• A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the
tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal
lubricated.
• If you have an air gap, clean it.
• Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not,
you may need a plumber.
• If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer
clear.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid
®
sudsing. Electrasol Dishwashing Degergent has been
approved for use in all GE dishwashers.
• To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and
let suds dissipate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub.
Close the door until it locks into place. Pump out water
by pressing START/RESET, then after waiting 10
seconds press START/RESET again. Repeat if necessary.
• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
• Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that
will discolor the tub interior with extended use. Check
the detergent cup for signs of any discoloration. If cup is
discolored, change to detergent without any colorant.

• Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding the dish to
the load can decrease the level of staining.
• Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see page 6).
• Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than
usual? If so, wait until pressure is normal before using
your dishwasher.
• Clean the air gap.
• Make sure dishware does not block the detergent
dispenser or the wash arms.
