GE Dishwasher Repair in San Diego

As background for GE dishwasher owners, GE dishwashers range from basic plastic-tub models to stainless-tub Profile and Café units with bottle jets and third racks, and many are built in Louisville.

Look first at circulation pump motors, drain pumps, door latch switches, and control boards; those are where GE dishwashers tend to give out. On a service call, the description is usually one of these: standing water left in the tub, dishes coming out dirty or gritty, and leak from the front of the door. When a GE dishwasher hums but does not wash, the circulation pump or its impeller is the usual suspect; first clear the filter and spray arms of glass and debris. A grinding noise usually means something is caught in the chopper or drain pump.

Many GE dishwashers use a circulation pump whose motor and impeller sit under the sump, and a hum with no spray is often a jammed impeller rather than a dead motor. Control boards are frequently blamed for no-start problems that turn out to be a failed door latch switch. On plastic-tub models, a pump replacement is weighed against the age of the tub and racks before it is recommended.

San Diego's hard imported water leaves white film on glassware and scale in the dishwasher's spray arms, heater and inlet valve. Before quoting, we check the door latch, inlet valve and drain hose loop, which explain a lot of dishwasher complaints.

When a GE dishwasher hums but does not wash, the circulation pump or its motor is the usual suspect. You approve the price for the circulation pump motors, or whatever the diagnosis finds, before we start the repair.

Use rinse aid in hard-water areas; it helps drying and cuts spotting. Dishes coming out dirty or gritty is a repair worth booking sooner rather than later on a GE dishwasher.
