First checks for GE Appliances dishwasher codes

  • Record the complete code and any flashing tap, drain, or warning icon.
  • Check for visible water, a blocked filter, a kinked hose, and a fully open supply valve.
  • Keep power and water off when a leak, burning smell, or breaker trip is present.

Why the exact display matters

A letter can resemble a number on a segmented display, and spaces or separators can change the diagnosis. Photograph the display before clearing it, note when it appears, and compare the complete model identifier with official GE Appliances support.
