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.

Why won’t water pump out of my GE QDT125 Dishwasher?
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 are there spots and filming on glasses and flatware in my GE Dishwasher?
This can occur due to several reasons. Extremely hard water may be the cause; use high quality rinse agents such as Cascade® Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid, and consider a water softener if the water is extremely hard. Low inlet water temperature can also cause this; ensure it is at least 120°F (49°C). Overloading or improper loading of the dishwasher, old or damp powder detergent, an empty rinse agent dispenser, or using too little or low performing detergent can also cause spots and filming. Make sure to load your dishwasher as shown in the Loading section, use fresh, high-quality detergents, refill the rinse agent dispenser with high quality rinse agents, and use the proper amount of highly rated detergent.

What causes cloudiness on glassware in my GE Dishwasher?
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.
