Common Issues with GE Dishwashers and How to Fix Them GE dishwashers, including models like the GE Profile, GE Slate, and various black and whiteGE dishwashers, are known for their reliability and advanced features.

Dishwasher Won’t Start One of the most common issues with GE dishwashers is that they won’t start. This can be frustrating, especially if you have a full load waiting to be cleaned. Possible Causes: •Power Supply Issues:Ensure the dishwasher is plugged in and that the outlet is functioning. Check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. •Door Latch Problems:If the door isn’t securely closed, the dishwasher won’t start. Inspect the door latch and ensure it’s functioning correctly.

  2. How to Fix: •Plug the dishwasher into a different outlet to test the power supply. •If the door latch is broken, replace it or contact a professional for repairs. 2.
