GE Dishwashers are generally rock-solid, but it’s always handy to have a cheat sheet for those LED codes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, I’ve got your back, breaking down the meanings of each code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s keep it simple and dive into the details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without further ado, let\u2019s get to the main portion of the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes, you\u2019ll get these codes instead of numbers or letters. What do they mean? Let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a flashing yellow light and beeping, your control module may be faulty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fix, disconnect power, note your dishwasher’s model, get a replacement control module, follow installation instructions, reconnect, and check for issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blinking “Start” light signals a reset. Wait for shutdown completion; the dishwasher returns to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blinking “Sanitize” light indicates a temperature problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diagnose, order a replacement heating coil or sensor, follow your manual for installation, and check for proper sanitizing temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flashing lights with “888” means a communication error. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check for a blown fuse on the control board. Replace it, reconnect power, and troubleshoot further online if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dishwasher displays “1H” when it’s in Delay Start mode, indicating a programmed delay before the washing cycle starts. This is a normal feature, and no action is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the pump-out during drainage takes more than 2 minutes, the dishwasher shows this particular code to highlight a potential blockage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clean the air gap, adjust or replace the hose, and run the disposer. If the issue persists, check the drain hose for further obstructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total pump-out cycle exceeding 7 minutes triggers the “C2” code. Press RESET to stop the alert and resume normal operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dishwasher displays this one when it encounters problems draining. Disconnect power for 30 seconds, then reset. Inspect the drain hose for kinks and clear any debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a power failure, if the dishwasher fills twice, “C4” appears. Touch start, then cancel\/reset. Tap the float cover and check the sump for debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The code “C5” indicates insufficient pump-out time. Check if the water supply is on. Retry the same cycle, tapping on the float cover to address sticking issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the water temperature is below 120\u00b0F, “C6” is displayed. Run the adjacent faucet, adjust the water heater, and avoid using other hot water appliances simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an inoperative water temperature sensor circuit, “C7” appears. Disconnect power, reset, and check the sensor or wiring if the issue persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The C8 code indicates a blocked detergent cup. Remove the obstruction, close the door, and wait for 30 seconds for the cup to open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case of a power failure, the dishwasher displays “PF.” Select your desired cycle, press the Start pad, and the dishwasher will function normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the detergent cup remains open, the dishwasher shows this code. Add detergent, latch the cup closed, and press the start pad again without opening the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your GE dishwasher did not drain properly, these codes appear. Check the drain hose, air gap, and disposer for blockages. Clear any obstructions for proper drainage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
