What to do if water is standing in the bottom of the tub of my GE Dishwasher (Built-In Models Only)?
If water is standing in the bottom of the tub, the air gap may be clogged (clean it; see the Care and cleaning section) or a high drain loop or air gap may not be installed (refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation).
Why does my GE GPT225 Dishwasher BEEPS once every minute?
This is a reminder that your dishwasher door has been left open during operation. It will continue beeping until you press Start and close the door.
What to do if there is detergent left in dispenser cups of my GE GPT225?
If detergent remains in the dispenser cups, dishes or utensils might be blocking the cup. Reposition the dishes to allow water from the lower spray arm to flush the cup (see the Loading section). Also, reposition tall utensils or heavy silverware that may be preventing the dispenser cup door from opening (see the Loading section).
How to fix cloudiness on glassware in my GE GPT225 Dishwasher?
Cloudiness can be caused by a combination of soft water and too much detergent, resulting in etching, which is permanent. Use less detergent if you have soft water and wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean. It could also be caused by low performing phosphate-free detergent (see A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS section) or water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeding 150°F (66°C), which could also be etching (lower the water heater temperature).
Why does my GE Dishwasher have spots and filming on glasses and flatware?
This can be due to several reasons. Extremely hard water can cause this issue; use rinse agents like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid, and consider a water softener if the water is very hard. Ensure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Avoid overloading or improperly loading the dishwasher (see the Loading section). Old or damp powder detergent can also be a culprit; use fresh, highly rated detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. Check if the rinse agent dispenser is empty and refill it with a product like Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid. Finally, ensure you're using the proper amount of a highly rated detergent.
What noises are normal for a GE GPT225?
Normal operating sounds include beeping at the end of the cycle, the detergent cup opening, water entering the dishwasher, the motor stopping and starting at various times during the cycle, the spray arms starting and stopping at various times, drain pump sounds during pump out, and the drain pump starting and stopping several times during each drain. These are all normal. If you hear rattling dishes when the spray arm rotates, make sure dishes are properly loaded. If you hear rattling silverware against the door during the wash, tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid bumping against the inner door during the wash cycle.
Why are my dishes and flatware not clean in my GE GPT225?
If your dishes and flatware aren't getting clean in your GE Dishwasher, several factors could be at play. First, the filter assembly might be clogged, so refer to the CARE AND CLEANING section. Also, ensure the inlet water temperature is correct by turning on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the water temperature stops rising, then start the dishwasher. Select Wash Temp - Boost. Low water pressure could also be the culprit; check if water is coming out of your faucet more slowly than usual and wait until the pressure is normal (20-120 psi). For built-in models, check for clogs in the air gap or disposer, and clean them accordingly. Improper rack loading can also prevent proper cleaning, so ensure large dishware or utensils aren't blocking the detergent dispenser or the was...

Why won’t water pump out of my GE GPT225 Dishwasher?
