What to do if my GE GDT535-635 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 there water standing in the bottom of my GE Dishwasher?
If water is standing in the bottom of your GE Dishwasher tub, the air gap may be clogged; clean it. Also, check if the high drain loop or air gap is not installed correctly and refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
How to improve drying in my GE GDT535-635?
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 water won’t pump out of the tub of my GE GDT535-635?

Also, check if the control panel is locked and unlock it if necessary; refer to the Getting Started section for instructions.
