How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water supply immediately if a leak is suspected.
- Inspect door gasket: Open the door and examine the gasket all around. Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Replace if damaged.
- Check base pan: Remove the toe-kick and inspect for water. Sponge out any water and look for the source while running a short cycle.
- Inspect hoses and clamps: With the unit pulled out slightly, check all visible hoses and clamps for drips during operation. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Detergent check: Ensure only automatic dishwasher detergent is used. If suds are present, run a rinse cycle with no detergent to clear foam.
- Replace leaking components: If the sump, tub, or pump seals are cracked or leaking, replace the affected GE Café part.
