Why are my GE Dishwasher dishes not drying?
If your dishes aren't drying, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F. Select Heated Dry or Dry Boost. Use Wash Temp Boost. Select a higher cycle, such as Steam Sani or Heavy. Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required. On some models, leaving the door closed after the Clean light appears allows the fan to run an additional 90 minutes. Note: If you open the door, this fan extension will be cancelled. If using Light cycle which uses lower water temperature and thus limited dry performance, switch to a different cycle. Allow cycles to fully complete. See Long cycle times in this Troubleshooting Tips section.
Why does my GE Dishwasher have suds in the tub?
Suds in the tub are usually caused by using the wrong detergent. Use only high-quality automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. To remove suds, open the dishwasher and let them dissipate. Pump out the water by pressing Start and closing the door. Wait 30 seconds, then open the door, press and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door. Repeat if necessary. Also, wipe up any spilled rinse agent immediately, as this can also cause suds.

If your GE Dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes and flatware properly, several factors could be at play. Check if the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly or Fine Filter is clogged—refer to the Care and Cleaning section for guidance.
