How to Fix GE Dishwasher: not turning on after a power surge

During a thunderstorm, your house might lose electricity, causing all currently running electronic devices, such as a GE dishwasher, to turn off. After the power is reinstated, the dishwasher might fail to turn back on. There are a number of reasons this might happen after an outage. It goes without saying, you have to be sure about your safety before implementing the tips below. When the power goes out due to a thunderstorm or electrical problem within the area, it's possible that the circuit breaker connected to the GE dishwasher has tripped. You can inspect the circuit breaker, which is located in a breaker box along with several other circuit breakers that control various parts of the house. The circuit breaker may be labeled as the one that controls the dishwasher or perhaps just "kitchen." A tripped breaker features a switch that sits either in the middle or "Off" position. If you flip the switch back over to the "On" position, you can reinstate electrical flow to the dishwasher. Try pressing the "Start/Reset" pad to reset the dishwasher and wait 2 minutes. If the problem persists, reset (reboot) the dishwasher by turning off power to the unit at the house circuit breaker/fuse box for 30 seconds. Restore power and the dishwasher should function normally. In case when all the steps above have been powerless, you need to check some parts of the appliance for a breakdown. We recommend starting with a door switch as it often breaks and causes troubles with a proper condition. Then, try out a timer or control board. In the end, you may check a selector switch. When one or several parts are malfunctioning, they have to be replaced. A professional plumber will help you to track the origins of the problem and choose a new part for your GE dishwasher.
