This problem is likely caused by a low quality phosphate-free dishwasher detergent. To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found online. Otherwise, use Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner found at your local grocery store. Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover.
What causes black or gray marks on dishes in my GE GDT530 Dishwasher?
Black or gray marks on dishes are usually caused by aluminum utensils rubbing against them. Remove the marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
How to improve drying in my GE Dishwasher?
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.
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.
Why is my GE GDT530 beeping once every minute?
The dishwasher beeping once every minute is a reminder that the door has been left open during operation. Press Start and close the door.
Why are my GE GDT530 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 is my GE GDT530 Dishwasher taking so long to complete cycles?
Longer cycles are normal as the dishwasher washes by alternating mid and lower spray arms. For best wash and dry performance, let the cycle complete. Also, the soil level affects cycle time. The turbidity sensor detects soil on the dishes, and heavily soiled loads will extend the cycle, which is normal. Allow the cycle to complete for optimal results.
What causes detergent to be left in dispenser cups of my GE Dishwasher?
If detergent is left in the dispenser cups, it may be because dishes are blocking the detergent cup. Reposition the dishes so the water from the lower spray arm can flush the detergent cup. Also, reposition any dishware that may be keeping the dispenser cup door from opening. See the Loading section.
What does it mean when the start status indicator light is flashing on my GE GDT530 Dishwasher?
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 there are suds in the GE GDT530 tub?
If you see suds in your GE Dishwasher tub, it's likely due to using the wrong detergent or spilling rinse agent. Only use automatic dishwasher detergents to prevent sudsing; Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent is approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers. To remove existing suds, open the dishwasher and let them dissipate. Always wipe up any rinse agent spills immediately.
