Are you perplexed by the random numbers and letters flashing on your GE dishwasher? You’re not alone! These codes aren’t as cryptic as they might seem. In fact, they’re designed to help you and your appliance repair technicians diagnose issues with your dishwasher quickly and effectively.
In this post, our team at AAA Home Appliance Repair will demystify these error codes, helping you understand what they mean and what steps you can take to fix the issue. Remember, though, if the problem persists, it’s time to call in the professionals.
Understanding GE Dishwasher Fault Codes
Each fault code represents a specific problem in your dishwasher. Here are some of the most common ones you might encounter:
Number + H (Ex. 1H): Your dishwasher is in Delay Start mode.
C1: The pump out during drain has exceeded 2 minutes. You might need to clean the air gap, replace or reposition the hose, or run the disposer to clean it out.
C2: The total pump out cycle exceeds 7 minutes. Pressing RESET should stop the beep.
C3: The dishwasher will not drain. Disconnecting the power at the circuit breaker for about 30 seconds and then resetting the dishwasher can solve this issue.
C4: The machine filled twice after a power failure, or there could be a clogged drain or sump. You may need to touch start and then cancel/reset.
These are just a few examples of the many codes that might appear on your dishwasher. The complete list of codes is available on the GE Appliances website.
