      If there is water standing in the bottom of the tub, the air gap may be clogged, so clean the air gap. Also, check if the high drain loop or air gap is not installed and refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.

      If your dishwasher isn't running, check a few things. First, see if a fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped, and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker if needed. Ensure the power is turned on. Also, check if the control panel is locked and unlock it if necessary. If a Critical Fault is present, call for service.

      To turn off the double beep indicator (or re-activate it if it was previously turned off) on some models of GE dishwashers, press the Heated Dry/Dry Boost pad 7 times within 5 seconds. A triple beep will sound to indicate the end-of-cycle beep option has been turned on or off.

    What to do if the start status indicator light is flashing on my GE GDF550?
    • M
      Michael PierceAug 28, 2025
      If the start status indicator light is flashing on your GE dishwasher, it means the door was opened or the cycle was interrupted. Press the Start pad once and close the door within 4 seconds to start the dishwasher. If you wish to cancel the cycle, press and hold the Start pad for 3 seconds a second time when the dishwasher is running. If the problem persists, call for service.
