Possible Causes

Clogged spray arms, Dirty filters, Low water temperature, Weak circulation pump, Incorrect detergent or overloading

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow the dishwasher to cool before working inside; edges can be sharp.

Steps:

  • 1. Clean filters: Remove and rinse filters under hot water.
  • 2. Clean spray arms: Remove and clear all jet holes with a toothpick; rinse thoroughly.
  • 3. Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher; ensure it's about 120°F (49°C).
  • 4. Avoid overloading: Load dishes so that spray can reach all surfaces; avoid nesting bowls.
  • 5. Use proper detergent: Use high-quality dishwasher detergent and rinse aid compatible with GE Profile dishwashers.
  • 6. Evaluate circulation: If cleaning is still poor, the circulation pump may be weak and require replacement.
