If the control panel responds but the dishwasher doesn't fill with water, make sure the door is firmly closed. Also, check that the water valve (usually under the sink) is turned on. The flood float may also be stuck; remove the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly and lightly tap the dome-like piece under it, then replace the filter.
Why don't my dishes dry in GE GDT535-635?
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.
What to do if my GE GDT535-635 won't run?
First, check if the fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped; replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Ensure power is turned on, especially if it's controlled by a wall switch. Also, check if the control panel is locked and unlock it if necessary; see the Getting started section for instructions.
How to remove stains from the tub interior of my GE GDT535-635 Dishwasher?
If your GE Dishwasher tub interior is stained, it could be due to several factors. Tomato-based foods can cause reddish stains; using the Steam Sani cycle after adding the dish can help decrease staining. Tea or coffee stains can be removed by hand with a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water, but avoid using bleach on stainless steel inner doors and wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle before cleaning. An overall yellow or brown film can be caused by iron deposits in water, which requires a special filter in the water supply line. White film can be caused by hard water minerals; use Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid and run the dishwasher with citric acid or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner.
Why do control panel lights go off on GE GDT535-635 Dishwasher?
If the control panel lights on your GE Dishwasher go off while you're setting controls, it's because there's too much time between touching the selected buttons. Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the others. To relight the panel, touch any pad again or open the door and unlock it (top control).
Why is there water standing in the bottom of my GE GDT535-635 tub?
Water standing in the bottom of the tub could be due to a clogged air gap. Clean the air gap. Alternatively, a high drain loop or air gap might not be installed; refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
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.
How to stop suds in my GE GDT535-635?
Suds in the tub usually indicate that you're using the wrong detergent or that rinse agent was spilled. Use only high quality automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent have been approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers. To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let suds dissipate. Pump out water by pressing Start and close the door. Wait 30 seconds. Open the door, press and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door. Repeat if necessary. Wipe up any rinse agent spills immediately.
