Long cycle times on your GE Dishwasher are normal. The dishwasher washes by alternating mid and lower spray arms. Also, the turbidity sensor detects how much soil is on the dishes, so heavily soiled loads will add more time to the cycle. For best wash and dry performance, allow the cycle to complete.
What to do if my GE GDT605 won’t run?
If your GE Dishwasher won’t run, start by checking the fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset if necessary. Remove any other appliances from the circuit. Ensure the power to the dishwasher is turned on, especially if it's controlled by a wall switch. Also, verify that the control panel isn't locked; if it is, unlock it according to the Getting started section.
Why is there water standing in the bottom of my GE GDT605 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.
What to do if water won’t pump out of my GE GDT605?
If water won’t pump out of your GE Dishwasher tub, the drain may be clogged. If you have an air gap, clean it. If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to clear it. Check if your kitchen sink is draining well; if not, you may need a plumber.
What to do if my GE GDT605 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.
What noises are normal for a GE GDT605?
Normal operating sounds for GE Dishwashers include beeping at the end of the cycle (on some models), the detergent cup opening, water entering the dishwasher, the motor stopping and starting, spray arms starting and stopping, and drain pump sounds. 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.
Why doesn’t the sanitized light illuminate at the end of the cycle on my GE Dishwasher?
If the Sanitized light does not illuminate at the end of the cycle on your GE Dishwasher, it could be because the door was opened and the cycle was interrupted during the final rinse. Avoid interrupting the cycle by opening the door. Additionally, the incoming water temperature may have been too low. Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F and 150°F.
Why is there steam coming from my GE GDT605?
Steam coming from your GE Dishwasher is normal. Warm, moist air comes through the vent during drying and when water is being pumped out. This is necessary for drying.
How to turn off the beeping at the end of the cycle on my GE GDT605 Dishwasher?
The beeping at the end of the cycle on some GE Dishwasher models is normal. To turn off the double beep indicator (or re-activate it if it was previously turned off), press the Heated Dry pad 5 times within 3 seconds. A triple beep will sound to indicate the end-of-cycle beep option has been turned on or off.
How to remove stains from the tub interior of my GE GDT605?
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.
