Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
What To Do  
Spots and filming  
on glasses and  
flatware  
Extremely hard water  
Use high quality rinse agents such as Cascade®  
Platinum™ Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry®  
Rinse Aid to prevent spots and prevent new film build-up.  
If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.  
Low inlet water temperature Make sure water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).  
Overloading or improper  
loading of the dishwasher  
Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading section.  
Old or damp powder  
detergent  
Make sure detergent is fresh. Use high quality detergents  
such as Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish®  
Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.

Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid.  
Too little or low performing  
detergent  
Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated  
detergent.  
Cloudiness on  
glassware  
Combination of soft water  
and too much detergent  
This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this  
from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water.  
Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.  
Low performing phosphate- See A white film on glassware, dishware and the  
free detergent interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING section.  
Water temperature entering This could be etching. Lower the water heater  
the dishwasher exceeds 150°F temperature.  
Slight odor coming  
from unit during dry  
portion of cycle  
This is normal when the Dry No action is required.  
Boost option is used for the  
first time. It is caused by the  
heating of new parts and will  
disappear in a short time.  
Suds in the tub  
Wrong detergent  
Use only high quality automatic dishwasher detergents to  
avoid sudsing. Cascade® Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish®  
Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent have  
been approved for use in all GE Appliances dishwashers.  
To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and  
let suds dissipate. Open the door, press and hold Start  
for 3 seconds, and close the door.  
Rinse agent was spilled  
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.  
Detergent left in  
dispenser cups  
Dishes or utensils are  
blocking the detergent cup  
Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray  
arm can flush the detergent cup. See the Loading section.  
Reposition the tall utensils or heavy silverware that may  
be keeping the dispenser cup door from opening. See  
the Loading section.  
Don’t place large bowls or pots directly under the  
detergent dispenser.  
Black or gray marks Aluminum utensils have  
on dishes rubbed against dishes  
Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
