If detergent is left in the dispenser cups of your GE Dishwasher, it's likely that dishes or utensils are blocking the detergent cup.

Also, reposition tall utensils or heavy silverware that may be preventing the dispenser cup door from opening, and avoid placing large bowls or pots directly under the detergent dispenser.
