Why are my dishes and flatware not clean in my GE GPT145?
- A
  Alicia BurkeAug 21, 2025
  There are several reasons why your dishes and flatware might not be getting clean. It could be due to a clogged filter assembly (check the CARE AND CLEANING section), low inlet water temperature (ensure it's correct, as described in the USING THE DISHWASHER section, and select Wash Temp - Boost), or temporarily low water pressure (wait until the pressure is normal, which should be 20-120 psi). Also, check for a clogged air gap or disposer (for Built-In Models Only), improper rack loading (refer to the Loading section), or poor performing detergent (use a highly rated one, such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent). Finally, for Built-In Models Only, ensure a high drain loop or air gap is properly installed (refer to the Installation Instructions).

  If your dishwasher isn't running, check the following: a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (replace or reset it, and remove other appliances from the circuit), the power being turned off (ensure the wall switch, if applicable, is on), the control panel being locked (unlock it; see the Getting started section), or try rebooting your control (turn off power at the breaker or switch for 30 seconds, then back on).

  This is normal operation. Your GE Dishwasher is designed to beep at the end of the cycle. The dishwasher will beep (unless interrupted) and the Clean light will display at the end of the wash cycle.

  If your dishes aren't drying, make sure the door is opened immediately after the Clean light comes on. Also, check that the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F, use Wash Temp Boost, and select a higher cycle like Heavy. Finally, ensure the rinse agent dispenser is filled as needed.

What to do if water won’t pump out of the tub of my GE GPT145?
- K
  Kyle CamachoAug 31, 2025
  If water won't pump out, the drain may be clogged. If you have an air gap, clean it (see the Care and cleaning section). If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear. Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may need a plumber.

How to fix spots and filming on glasses and flatware in my GE GPT145 Dishwasher?
- R
  Ross EstradaSep 2, 2025
  Spots and filming can occur due to extremely hard water (use rinse agents like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid; a softener may be needed), low inlet water temperature (ensure it's at least 120°F or 49°C), overloading or improper loading (follow the Loading section guidelines), old or damp powder detergent (use fresh, highly rated detergent like Finish® Quantum®), an empty rinse agent dispenser (refill with Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid), or using too little or low performing detergent (use the proper amount of a highly rated detergent).

How to prevent cloudiness on glassware in my GE GPT145?
- T
  Todd RoblesSep 3, 2025
  Cloudiness on glassware can be caused by a combination of soft water and too much detergent (use less detergent 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 TIPS section), water temperature exceeding 150°F (66°C) (lower the water heater temperature), or using the wrong detergent (use only automatic dishwasher detergents; Finish® Quantum® is approved for GE Appliances dishwashers).

What does it mean if the start status indicator light is flashing on my GE Dishwasher?
- A
  Anthony BarrettSep 5, 2025
  A flashing start status indicator light means 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. Press the Start pad a second time when the dishwasher is running only if you wish to cancel the cycle.
