I'm experiencing difficulties in starting my GE Dishwasher, model number GDF6400HSM0ss. Although the lights on the panel are functioning, every time I press the start button, it emits an error sound and doesn't start. How can I resolve this issue?
The beeping sound every 30 seconds or every minute indicates that the dishwasher door was unlatched during the cycle. Close the dishwasher door to resume the cycle and the beeping will stop. If the problem persists, reset (reboot) the dishwasher by turning off power to the unit at the house circuit breaker or fuse box for 30 seconds. Restore power and the dishwasher should reset and function normally.
If the above suggestions do not resolve the issue and the dishwasher is still beeping or has blinking lights either the dishwasher door latch is bad or the main control board has failed one of the two.
If you think you want to try and troubleshoot this problem yourself let us know and we will try and walk you through it but you will need an ohm/volt meter and know how to use it. Otherwise you will need to get someone out to do it for you.
