What to do if my GE GDT225-226 won’t run?

  First, check if a fuse is blown or a 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. The control panel might be locked; unlock it (see the Getting started section). As a last resort, try rebooting your control by turning off power to the dishwasher (at the circuit breaker or wall switch) for 30 seconds, then turning it back on.

  For proper drying, open the dishwasher door immediately after the Clean light comes on. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F and consider using Wash Temp Boost. Select a higher cycle, such as Heavy. Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as needed.

Why is there water standing in the bottom of my GE Dishwasher? (Built-In Models Only)
- J
  jandersonAug 27, 2025
  If you have a built-in model, water remaining in the bottom of the tub is often due to a clogged air gap. Clean the air gap. See the Care and cleaning section. Also, check if high drain loop or air gap is not installed and refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.

  The beeping at the end of the cycle is normal. The dishwasher will beep (unless interrupted) and the Clean light will display at the end of the wash cycle.

What to do if water won’t pump out of the tub of my GE Dishwasher?
- R
  Rachel Orr MDAug 31, 2025
  The drain might be clogged. If you have an air gap, clean it (Built-In Models Only). See the Care and cleaning section. If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to clear it. Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well; if not, you may need a plumber.

Why does my GE GDT225-226 have spots and filming on glasses and flatware?
- M
  Michele WuSep 2, 2025
  This can be due to several reasons. Extremely hard water can cause this issue; use rinse agents like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid, and consider a water softener if the water is very hard. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Avoid overloading or improperly loading the dishwasher (see the Loading section). Old or damp powder detergent can also be a culprit; use fresh, highly rated detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. Check if the rinse agent dispenser is empty and refill it with a product like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid. Finally, ensure you're using the proper amount of a highly rated detergent.

How to fix cloudiness on glassware in my GE Dishwasher?
- B
  Bryan WardSep 3, 2025
  Cloudiness, or etching, can occur due to a combination of soft water and too much detergent; use less detergent if you have soft water, and wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean. If the water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeds 150°F (66°C), lower the water heater temperature. Make sure you are using only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers.

How to fix black or gray marks on dishes in my GE GDT225-226 Dishwasher?

  These marks usually appear because aluminum utensils have rubbed against the dishes. Remove the marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.

Why is my GE GDT225-226 making noise?
- P
  Patricia BassSep 8, 2025
  Normal operating sounds include beeping at the end of the cycle, the detergent cup opening, water entering the dishwasher, the motor stopping and starting, the spray arms starting and stopping, and drain pump sounds. These are all normal. If dishes are rattling, make sure they are properly loaded. If silverware is rattling against the door, tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack.
