  Several factors can affect drying performance. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F. Select Heated Dry or Dry Boost and Wash Temp Boost. Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill if needed. On some models, leave the door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan to run for an additional 90 minutes. If using the Light cycle, switch to a different cycle. Allow cycles to fully complete.

  Several factors can affect drying performance. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F. Select Heated Dry or Dry Boost, and consider using Wash Temp Boost or a higher cycle like Steam Sani or Heavy. Check and fill the rinse agent dispenser if it's empty. On some models, leaving the door closed after the Clean light appears allows the fan to run for an additional 90 minutes. Also, if you are using a Light cycle, switch to a different cycle.

  If your GE Dishwasher isn't drying dishes effectively, several factors could be contributing. First, ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F and select Heated Dry or Dry Boost. You can also use Wash Temp Boost or select a higher cycle, such as Steam Sani or Heavy. Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill it as needed. On some models, leaving the door closed after the Clean light appears allows the fan to run for an additional 90 minutes to improve drying. Note that opening the door cancels this fan extension. If you're using a Light cycle, which uses lower water temperature, switch to a different cycle. Allow cycles to fully complete.

  The flashing light indicates that 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 want to cancel the cycle, press the Start pad a second time while the dishwasher is running.

What to do if my GE GDT530-635 won’t run?
- J
  Jeremy HerreraAug 27, 2025
  If your GE Dishwasher won’t run, there are a few things to check. First, see if a fuse is blown or a circuit breaker is tripped; replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker and remove any other appliances from the circuit. Also, in some installations, the power to the dishwasher is provided through a wall switch; make sure it is on. Finally, the control panel might be locked; unlock the control panel, see the Getting started section.

Why is my GE GDT530-635 Dishwasher control panel responding to inputs but the dishwasher never filled with water?

  Make sure the door is firmly closed. Ensure the water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on. The flood float may be stuck. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and lightly tap the piece under the ultra fine filter assembly that looks like a dome. Replace the filter.
