Possible Causes
Tripped circuit breaker, Loose or burned connection at junction box, Faulty door latch not allowing power to UI, Failed main control board on GE Café dishwasher
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening any electrical enclosures.
- Check breaker: Verify the dishwasher breaker is not tripped. Reset if necessary.
- Inspect junction box: Remove the toe-kick and open the junction box. Tighten all wire nuts and check for burned wires. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
- Test outlet (if corded): If your GE Café dishwasher uses a plug, test the outlet with another appliance.
- Door latch check: Ensure the door closes and latches properly. A failed latch can prevent the control from powering up. Replace the latch if defective.
- Control board: If power is present at the junction box and latch is good but the UI is dead, the main control board or UI board may have failed and should be replaced.
