 Newer style GE dishwashers have built in diagnostic systems. If your dishwasher detects a fault or error in the system, it will show an error or fault code. The error code will display where the usual numbers are on the display screen. When an error code is displayed, your dishwasher is telling you a specific fault. You can also search YouTube for GE dishwasher fix, or get advice from GE for troubleshooting your GE dishwasher when your GE dishwasher is showing an error code or not working properly. See below for the error codes your GE dishwasher may show and how to clear them.
