Operation and Cycle Information
This section of the guide provides details on segments of cycles, timing of cycles, temperature
expectations and cycling of the heater during the dry portion of a cycle.
Auto Hot Start
If incoming water temperature is below 75°F, Auto Hot Start is initiated at the beginning of the cycle
in an attempt to purge the home water lines of cooler water. Auto Hot Start can add up to 10 minutes
to overall cycle time. One Auto Hot Start segment includes a 1-minute ll, 1-minute circulate and
70-second drain, repeating this sequence if the 75°F temperature is not met. The dishwasher can
repeat this up to three times, if needed. If the temperature is met in one or two segments, the cycle
advances to the rst prewash segment of the cycle.
Cycle Times
Times will vary depending on options selected, incoming water temperature, and soil level (on some
models).
Incoming water temperature of 120°F through 140°F is recommended.
The cycle chart below explains the segments of a cycle (cycles for all models included, some cycles
are only in select models). The chart below details ll and drain times which depend on either a full or
partial drain. It provides the circulation time in each segment, but does not include dry cycles (see the
Dry System section in this service guide). Times will vary depending on turbidity response (on some
models), options selected and water temperature.

NOTES:
• The previous chart has maximum segment parameters listed. The control will bypass some rinse
cycles if the turbidity sensor detects lower soil than the selected cycle maximum parameter, and
temperature targets are met.
• Selecting the Wash Temp option will add 5 minutes to Pre-Wash 4 (PR4) and Post-Rinse 1 (PW1).
This extra time is used to heat water.
• The Sani/Steam option will change the segments Pre-Wash 4 (PW4), (increasing heater operation).
• The Bottle Wash option (on some models) may increase the cycle time, adding up to 23 minutes;
water usage does not change.
• USA (Upper Spray Arm): When a number is placed before the USA, it indicates the approximate
time in seconds of operation.
• LSA (Lower Spray Arm): When a number is placed before LSA, it indicates the approximate time in
seconds of operation.
• PW: Pre Wash

Troubleshooting
• Check voltage input to the dishwasher.
• Verify door switch operation, consult Consumer Error Mode, in the Electronic Controls section of
this service guide.
• Door must be closed within 5 seconds of pressing Start Pad (Safety Feature).
• Check the main board Service LED (see Main Control Diagnostics in Electronic Controls).
• Verify that the dishwasher is not in Demo Mode.
• CSM (Current Sense Module) tripped. Please refer to On the Main Control Board CSM in the
Electronic Controls section of this guide.
This troubleshooting section is an overview of diagnostic capabilities of the electronic control. The
control also features retrieval of fault codes when Consumer Error Mode is initiated; operation of loads
is achieved in Service Mode.
Details on Consumer Error Mode and Service
Mode, as well as Service LED are located in the
Electronic Controls section of this service guide.
Single mounting screw
If the control beeps and some LED's ash, this indicates the dishwasher door may be in the open
position. If the User Interface (UI) is ashing all the LED's or the Display (some models) is ashing, this
is an indication of a tripped CSM and the dishwasher is non-responsive, all the LED's will ash until the
CSM is reset. CSM diagnostics are covered in this service guide.
Flashing Lights
Will Not Start
Symptom: If the dishwasher is “dead”, no LED operation, no button operation or beeping occurs.
Diagnosis: Attempt placing the dishwasher in Consumer Error Mode.
Solution: The CSM (Current Sense Module) is tripped and must be fully diagnosed. Refer to On
the Main Control Board CSM section of this guide.
Symptom: If the start button either does not respond or it makes a triple beep sound every time it’s
pressed AND all other buttons respond as normal.
Diagnosis: The dishwasher may be in Demo Mode.
Solution: To exit Demo Mode, hold “SELECT CYCLE” and “HEATED DRY” at the same time for 5
seconds.

– 13 –
Critical errors will turn a cycle off and show a display alerting the consumer of a fault which will not
allow the dishwasher to function or cause an undesirable condition.
No Water Detected
In the event the internal water level does not change, the cycle will be cancelled and the user interface
will display the following:
• Models with SSD (Seven Segment Display) Screens: H20 will be displayed on the SSD screen.
• Models without SSD Screens: Wash Temp LED will blink continuously.
Water may be turned off. The consumer is directed to verify the water supply line is connected properly,
the supply line valve is turned on, and then restart the cycle. If this fails, the consumer is directed to
call for service.
Pressure Sensor Errors
In the event that the pressure sensor signal is undetectable or out of range, the cycle will be canceled
and the user interface will display the following:
• Models with SSD: PrS or PrF will be displayed.
• Models without SSD: Dry LED or Wash Temp+Dry LEDs will blink.
The control does not see a change in pressure during ll. Verify pressure sensor harness, then replace
the pressure sensor if needed.
Continuous Fill Error
In the event that consecutive signals from the pressure sensor detect high water level, the drain pump
will run and the User Interface (UI) will display the following:
• Models with SSD Screens: CFE will be displayed on the SSD screen.
• Models without SSD Screens: Cycle Indication LEDs will blink continuously.
The consumer is directed to turn off the water supply. Diagnose reasons for the water valve not
shutting off.

Tub and Structure
WARNING: GE Factory Service Technicians
are REQUIRED to follow Lockout / Tagout
(LOTO) 6 Step Process prior to beginning
repair.
The tub and structure section of this guide
will cover the toe kick, junction box, racks,
leveling legs, door balance, gaskets, trim (on
some models), main control board, door, door
components, as well as the removing and
separation of the screwless appearance door. It
will also cover the sump module and removal.
Details of the sump components will be covered
in the Circulation System or Drain System
sections of this service guide.
Tub Trim (some models)
Some models include tub trim which clips to the
plastic tub to reduce sound levels and provides a
cleaner appearance to the installation.
If the cutout prevents the dishwasher from being
fully installed, or if the trim rolls inward preventing
the door from closing, it may be trimmed to
t properly. The wiper edge must contact the
cabinet to be an effective sound barrier.
Toe Kick
The toe kick is a decorative panel covering the
machine area of the dishwasher. The panel
provides a safety barrier, closing the front of the
dishwasher machine compartment. The toe kick
prevents injury from electrical components under
the dishwasher. To remove the panel, remove
two 1/4-inch hex-head screws and pull the panel
away from the dishwasher.
Junction Box and House Wiring
Connection
The junction box is located behind the toe kick
on the right-hand side of the dishwasher. The
junction box is where the 120 VAC house voltage
connects to the dishwasher. The dishwasher
may be hardwired or an optional cord may
be installed (available separately, Part #:
WX09X70910), which plugs into a wall outlet and
connects to the harness plug into the control (see
the separate Installation Instructions for more
information). The cover is held in place with a
1/4-inch hex-head screw on the left side, and tab
on the right side. To remove the cover, remove
the screw and pull out and left to release the tab.
