  If you see suds in your GE dishwasher tub: * Make sure you are using only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent is approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers. To remove suds, open the dishwasher and let them dissipate. Pump out the water by pressing Start and closing the door. Wait 2-3 seconds, then open the door, press and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door. Repeat if necessary. * If rinse agent was spilled, always wipe it up immediately.

  Carlos JohnsonAug 27, 2025
  If your dishes aren't drying, consider the following: * Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Select Heated Dry or Dry Boost. Use Wash Temp Boost. * Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required. * Leave the door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan to run for an additional 90 minutes (on some models). Opening the door will cancel this fan extension. * If using the Light cycle, which uses lower water temperature, switch to a different cycle. * Allow cycles to fully complete. See Long cycle times in this TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS section.
