Standing water can be due to a clogged air gap. Clean the air gap; see the Care and Cleaning section for instructions. It can also be caused by a high drain loop or air gap not installed correctly; refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
Why are my dishes not drying in my GE Dishwasher?
Several factors can affect drying performance. Low inlet water temperature is a common cause; ensure it's at least 120°F. Select Heated Dry or Dry Boost, and use Wash Temp Boost. Select a higher cycle, such as Steam Sani or Heavy. Check if the rinse agent dispenser is empty and fill it as needed. Additional drying time may be required; leave the door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan to run for an extra 90 minutes (on some models), but note that opening the door cancels this extension. The selected cycle can also impact drying; the Light cycle uses lower water temperature, so switch to a different cycle if needed. Finally, ensure cycles fully complete; see Long cycle times in this Troubleshooting Tips section.
Why won't my GE GDF510-640 run?
Several reasons may prevent your dishwasher from running. Check if a fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped; replace the fuse or reset the breaker, and remove other appliances from the circuit. Ensure the power is turned on, especially if it's controlled by a wall switch. Also, make sure the control panel isn't locked; refer to the Getting Started section for unlocking instructions.
Why are my dishes and flatware not clean in my GE Dishwasher?
Several factors can cause this issue. The Ultra-Fine Filter assembly or Fine Filter might be clogged. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section for cleaning instructions. The inlet water temperature could be too low; ensure it's correct. Low water pressure can also be a culprit; wait until the pressure is normal (20-120 psi). Other potential causes include a clogged air gap or disposer, improper rack loading, a high drain loop or air gap not installed correctly (refer to the Installation Instructions), or the use of a poor-performing detergent. Consider using a highly rated detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.

What to do if my GE Dishwasher control panel works but it never fills with water?
If the control panel of your GE Dishwasher responds to inputs but the dishwasher never fills with water, make sure the door is firmly closed. Also, ensure the water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on. The flood float may be stuck; remove the Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under the ultra fine filter that looks like a dome, then replace the filter.
What to do if water won’t pump out of my GE Dishwasher?
If water won’t pump out of your GE Dishwasher tub, the drain may be clogged. If you have an air gap, clean it. If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to clear it. Check if your kitchen sink is draining well; if not, you may need a plumber.
