My GE dishwasher fills but dishes come out dirty. Why?

If the circulation pump is weak or failing, water enters but does not spray with enough force. Clogged spray arms and filters can also be to blame. We test the pump and check the spray arms and filters.

Our Tega Cay dishwasher has water sitting in the bottom after every cycle. What should I check?

Start with the filter assembly in the tub floor and the area under it. Then check the drain hose connection at the sink or garbage disposal, especially if the disposal was recently replaced and its knockout plug may still be in place. If those are clear, the drain pump or check valve may have failed, and that calls for a visit.

Is the builder-installed dishwasher in my Fort Mill house worth repairing?

Often, yes, when the fault is a pump, valve, latch or control board and the tub and racks are in good shape. If the tub is cracked or several parts are failing on a basic model, replacement may make more sense. We lay out both options with the price before any work.

GE Dishwashers: What We Check First

GE dishwashers, from basic built-ins to GE Profile and Café models, use a circulation pump that drives the spray arms and a separate drain pump that removes water. Older GE models often included a hard-food disposer that chopped particles, while many newer ones use filters, including fine filters some owners need to clean. Profile and Café units add features such as bottle jets, steam pre-wash and third racks. A heating element or heater in the circulation path warms the water and helps drying.

Circulation pump failure, dishwasher fills but sprays weakly
Drain pump failure or blockage leaving water in the tub
Door gasket or sump leak dripping onto the floor
Door latch switch failure stopping the cycle from starting

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our GE dishwasher repair guide.

Typical faults in subdivision kitchens

Many Fort Mill kitchens have a quiet, stainless-tub dishwasher with a manual filter in the floor of the tub. Those filters need rinsing every few weeks, and when they are ignored the machine leaves grit on glasses or sits with dirty water after the cycle. Twist the filter out, rinse it under the tap and check the sump beneath it for glass or seeds before calling.

Homes on York County municipal water, which is drawn from Lake Wylie and the Catawba, see fewer of the sediment problems common on rural wells. When dishes come out with a white film, rinse aid level and detergent choice are worth checking first. A dishwasher that will not fill at all points toward the inlet valve or a float switch stuck by debris.

Leaks, island installs and the repair visit

Dishwashers in kitchen islands sit over cabinet floors that hide a slow leak until the wood swells. If you notice soft toe-kick trim or a musty smell, switch off the dishwasher's breaker and close the supply valve under the sink. The technician pulls the unit, checks the door gasket, drain hose and pump, quotes the repair before touching it and reinstalls it level so the door seals evenly.
