Try These Fixes"},"content":{"rendered":"
Recently, many GE dishwasher owners have been experiencing an issue of their dishwasher not starting, it will only make a beeping sound.<\/p>\n
This is a fairly common issue experienced by GE dishwasher owners, and while it would simplify things if there was one end-all answer to this problem, unfortunately, there are many possible reasons.<\/p>\n
Some of these reasons are more straightforward than others; however, we will guide you through them all the same. While one reason may be as simple as making sure the door latches, other possibilities may include power issues.<\/p>\n
An important thing to note here is that there is a beeping sound and with GE appliances, this can mean several different possibilities.<\/p>\n
The meaning of the beep surprisingly depends on the pattern and also the length of the beeping sound. You likely use your dishwasher quite often and you do not always have the extra time to hand-wash all of your dirty dishes.<\/p>\n
Not only can hand-washing your dishes be time-consuming but it can also waste more water than if you use a smart technology dishwasher such as the GE dishwasher.<\/p>\n
One of the main and most common causes for a GE dishwasher to make a beeping sound and to also not start the machine\u2019s wash cycle is that the door is not latched.<\/p>\n
The best way to distinguish this beep sound from all of the others is to count the time between each beep. With this in mind, if your GE dishwasher makes the beep sounds every 30 seconds, it is not only possible that you did not close the dishwasher door completely, but it is quite likely since this is easy to do.<\/p>\n
What is more, is that the door latch for the dishwasher could be broken or damaged, which of course, means that the dishwasher door will not be able to close completely.<\/p>\n
This will result in the GE dishwasher alerting you that the dishwasher door has not been closed, which it will do by beeping every 30 seconds. This will certainly stop the dishwasher from beginning the machine\u2019s wash cycle or prevent it from starting.<\/p>\n
If you believe that the dishwasher door is to blame for the 30-second interval beeping and the machine not starting, you will want to examine the dishwasher door to see what is preventing it from latching closed.<\/p>\n
There are several possibilities that could cause the door to not shut completely, one of these chances is that there is a misplaced dish that is catching on the top of the dishwasher or on the side that is preventing the door from shutting.<\/p>\n
Make sure to check all of the dishes on the racks to be certain that all of the dishes fit properly and are not protruding out of the side of the dish rack or are making contact with the ceiling of the dishwasher machine.<\/p>\n
This can cause one of the dish racks to stick out enough to make closing the door difficult, which will also cause the GE dishwasher to beep.<\/p>\n
Another possible reason for the dishwasher door to not close properly is that you are dealing with a defective door latch, as this latch can become clogged, damaged, or even broken.<\/p>\n
This means the dishwasher door will be registered as being entirely shut, which will trigger the 30-second interval beeping sound and will also prevent the appliance from starting. The door latch is an integral part of the door, as the door will not close and lock without a functioning door latch.<\/p>\n
This means you will want to either get the dishwasher door latch (view on Amazon)<\/a> replaced or repaired, which if you consider yourself a DIYer, you can do by yourself.<\/p>\n
