If your dishwasher isn't running, consider the following: * Check the fuse or circuit breaker: Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Remove any other appliances from the circuit. * Ensure power is on: Make sure the wall switch (if applicable) is turned on. * Unlock the control panel: See the Getting started section for instructions.
Why won't my GE GDT645S dishes dry?
If your dishes aren’t drying, consider these factors: * Low inlet water temperature: Ensure it 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. * Empty rinse agent dispenser: Check and fill as needed. * Additional drying time needed: Leave the door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan to run an additional 90 minutes (on some models). Opening the door cancels this extension. * Cycle selection: Avoid using the Light cycle, which uses lower water temperature and thus limited dry performance. * Cycle completion: Allow cycles to fully complete. See Long cycle times in this Troubleshooting Tips section.
Why is water standing in the bottom of my GE Dishwasher tub?
Water standing in the bottom of the tub can be caused by: * A clogged air gap: Clean the air gap. See the Care and Cleaning section. * Improper installation: High drain loop or air gap not installed. Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
Why won’t water pump out of my GE GDT645S Dishwasher tub?
If water won’t pump out of the tub, the drain might be clogged. If you have an air gap, clean it. See the Care and Cleaning section. If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to clear it. Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may need a plumber.
Why does my GE GDT645S Dishwasher beep once every minute?
The beeping is a reminder that the dishwasher door has been left open during operation. Press Start and close the door.
What to do if my GE GDT645S Dishwasher control panel responded to inputs but dishwasher never filled with water?
If the control panel responds but the dishwasher doesn't fill with water: * Ensure the door is firmly closed. * Check that the water valve (usually under the sink) is turned on. * The flood float may be stuck. Remove the Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under it that looks like a dome. Replace the filter.
How to fix spots and filming on glasses and flatware in my GE GDT645S Dishwasher?
Spots and filming on glassware can be caused by several factors. Here's what to check: * Extremely hard water: Use rinse agents like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid. A softener might be needed if the water is extremely hard. * Low inlet water temperature: Ensure the water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). * Overloading or improper loading: Load the dishwasher as shown in the Loading section. * Old or damp powder detergent: Use fresh, highly rated detergent like Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. * Empty rinse agent dispenser: Refill it with a rinse agent like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid. * Too little or low-performing detergent: Use the proper amount of a highly rated detergent.
How to remove cloudiness on glassware in my GE GDT645S?
Cloudiness on glassware can occur due to: * A combination of soft water and too much detergent: Use less detergent if you have soft water and wash glassware in the shortest cycle. * Low performing phosphate-free detergent: See A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING section. * Water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeds 150°F (66°C): Lower the water heater temperature.
How do I remove black or gray marks on dishes from my GE GDT645S Dishwasher?
Black or gray marks on dishes are caused by aluminum utensils rubbing against them. Remove these marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
How to stop suds in my GE GDT645S tub?
Suds in the tub can be caused by: * Using the wrong detergent: Use only automatic dishwasher detergents. Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent is approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers. To remove suds, open the dishwasher and let them dissipate. Pump out water by pressing Start and closing the door. Wait 30 seconds. Open the door, press and hold Start for 3 seconds, and close the door. Repeat if necessary. * Spilled rinse agent: Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
