If your dishes aren't drying in your GE Dishwasher, 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 and use Wash Temp Boost. Selecting a higher cycle, such as Heavy, may also help. Finally, check the rinse agent dispenser and fill it as required.
What to do if my GE PDT145 Dishwasher won’t run?
If your GE Dishwasher won’t run, start by checking the fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it, removing any other appliances from the circuit. Ensure the power is turned on, especially if it's controlled by a wall switch. Also, check if the control panel is locked and unlock it. As a final step, try rebooting the control by turning off power to the dishwasher (at the circuit breaker or wall switch) for 30 seconds, then turning it back on.
Why won’t water pump out of my GE PDT145?
If water won’t pump out of your GE Dishwasher tub, the drain might be clogged. If you have an air gap, clean it. 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 is water standing in the bottom of my GE PDT145 (Built-In Models Only)?
If water is standing in the bottom of the tub of your GE Dishwasher (Built-In Models Only), the air gap may be clogged, so clean the air gap. If a high drain loop or air gap is not installed, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line installation.
Why does my GE Dishwasher beep once every minute?
If your GE Dishwasher BEEPS once every minute, this is a reminder that your dishwasher door has been left open during operation. Press Start and close the door.
What to do if the control panel responds but my GE PDT145 Dishwasher 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, make sure the water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned on.
How to prevent spots and filming on glasses and flatware in my GE Dishwasher?
If you're seeing spots and filming on your glasses and flatware in your GE Dishwasher, it could be due to several reasons. If you have extremely hard water, use high-quality rinse agents such as Cascade® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid; a softener may be required. Also, make sure the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Avoid overloading the dishwasher and ensure you are loading it properly. Old or damp powder detergent can also cause this issue, so use fresh, high-quality detergents such as Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent. Finally, check if the rinse agent dispenser is empty and refill it with a high-quality rinse aid. Ensure you're using the proper amount of highly rated detergent.
What causes cloudiness on glassware in my GE PDT145?
Cloudiness on glassware in your GE Dishwasher can be caused by a combination of soft water and too much detergent, which is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this, use less detergent if you have soft water and wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean. It may also be caused by low performing phosphate-free detergent or water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeding 150°F (66°C), which could also be etching, so lower the water heater temperature.
How to remove white film on glassware, dishware, and the interior of my GE Dishwasher?
This problem is likely caused by a low quality phosphate-free dishwasher detergent. To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found online. Otherwise, use high quality rinse agents such as Cascade® Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner found at your local grocery store.
How to remove black or gray marks on dishes from my GE Dishwasher?
