There can be several reasons why your GE dishwasher is not starting. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
1. Power supply: Ensure that the dishwasher is properly connected to a power source and that the outlet is working correctly. Check for any loose connections or tripped circuit breakers. If necessary, try plugging in a different appliance to the same outlet to verify if it is functioning properly.
2. Door not fully closed: The dishwasher has a safety mechanism that prevents it from starting if the door is not fully closed or latched securely. Make sure the door is properly closed and try starting the dishwasher again.
3. Control panel or keypad issues: If the buttons on the control panel or keypad are not responding, it could indicate a problem with the touchpad or control board. Try resetting the dishwasher by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes, then turning it back on. If the issue persists, it may require professional service or replacement of the control panel.
4. Drainage or water supply issues: Dishwashers have sensors that detect water level and drainage. Check if the dishwasher is properly connected to a water supply and that the water inlet valve is opened. Ensure that the drain hose is not clogged or kinked. If there are any issues with water supply or drainage, it may prevent the dishwasher from starting.
5. Faulty door switch: The door switch is a safety feature that sends a signal to the control panel when the door is closed. If the door switch is faulty or not making proper contact, it can prevent the dishwasher from starting. You may need to replace the door switch if it is not functioning correctly.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult the dishwasher's user manual or contact GE customer support for further assistance.

To reset the control panel on your GE dishwasher, you can follow these steps:
1. Unplug the dishwasher from the power outlet or turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dishwasher. Make sure it is completely disconnected from the power source.
2. Leave it unplugged or turned off for about 1-2 minutes to allow the control panel to fully reset and any stored memory to clear.
3. After the waiting period, plug the dishwasher back in or turn on the circuit breaker. Ensure that it has a stable power supply.
4. Try restarting the dishwasher. Press and hold the "Start" or "On" button for 3-5 seconds until the control panel lights up or beeps to indicate that it has been reset.
5. Check if the control panel is responsive now. If it is, you have successfully reset it. If not, try turning off the power again for a few minutes and repeat the process.
If these steps do not work, you may need to consult the dishwasher's user manual for specific instructions or contact GE's customer support for further assistance.

There could be several reasons why your GE dishwasher keeps shutting off. Here are a few possible causes:
1. Power supply issues: Check if the dishwasher is plugged in properly and if the power outlet is functioning correctly. A loose connection or faulty outlet could cause the dishwasher to turn off.
2. Overheating: If the dishwasher overheats, it may automatically shut off as a safety measure. Make sure the dishwasher is properly ventilated, and check if there are any obstructions around the vents or the dishwasher's motor.
3. Defective control panel or keypad: A malfunctioning control panel or keypad can cause the dishwasher to shut off unexpectedly. If some buttons or touch controls are not working correctly, it could indicate a problem with the control panel or keypad.
4. Faulty door latch or switch: The dishwasher's door latch and switch play a crucial role in the dishwasher's operation. If there is a problem with the latch or switch, it may cause the dishwasher to shut off. Inspect the latch to see if it is damaged or misaligned, and check if the switch is functioning properly.
5. Drainage issues: A clogged or malfunctioning drain pump or hose can cause the dishwasher to shut off. If the dishwasher is not draining properly or if you notice any leaks, it could be a sign of a drainage issue.
If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem or if the issue persists, it is recommended to contact a professional technician or GE customer service for further assistance.
