Why is water standing in the bottom of the tub of my GE GBF 180?
If water is standing in the bottom of the tub of your GE Dishwasher, it could be because the air gap is clogged; clean the air gap to resolve this. Alternatively, a high drain loop or air gap may not be installed properly; refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
What to do if control panel responded to inputs but my GE Dishwasher never filled with water?
If the control panel of your GE Dishwasher responds to inputs but the dishwasher never fills with water, first, ensure that the door is firmly closed. Next, check that the water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on. Finally, the flood float may be stuck, so remove the Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under the ultra fine filter.
Why does my GE GBF 180 Dishwasher beep once every minute?
If your GE Dishwasher is beeping once every minute, it's a reminder that the door has been left open during operation. To stop the beeping, press the Start button and close the door.
Why don’t dishes dry in my GE GBF 180 Dishwasher?
Several factors can cause your GE Dishwasher to not dry dishes effectively. First, ensure that the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as needed. For additional drying time, leave the door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan to run for an extra 90 minutes. If you're using the Light cycle, which uses lower water temperature, switch to a different cycle. Finally, ensure cycles are allowed to fully complete.
Why are dishes and flatware not clean in my GE GBF 180 Dishwasher?
If your GE Dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes and flatware properly, several factors could be at play. Check if the Ultra-Fine Filter or Fine Filter is clogged—consult the Care and Cleaning section for guidance. Ensure your inlet water temperature is correct by turning on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the temperature stops rising, then start the dishwasher. Low water pressure can also be a culprit; wait until the pressure normalizes before using the dishwasher. Also, inspect the air gap or disposer for clogs. Make sure large dishware isn't blocking the detergent dispenser or the wash arms. Finally, consider using a highly rated detergent like Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.
