GE dishwasher error codes
GE and GE Profile dishwashers. GE notes that not every code appears on every model.
Water supply and filling
C6: Incoming water too cool
The water arriving at the dishwasher isn’t hot enough.
H2O: Low water
The dishwasher detected a low-water condition.
C5: Pump-out time too short
Make sure the water supply is on, tap the float cover and run the cycle again.
Draining and overfilling
C1: Pump-out took too long
Draining took longer than 2 minutes during a drain.
C3: Won’t drain
The dishwasher can’t drain.
C4: Filled twice after a power failure
After a power cut the dishwasher filled twice. The float may be stuck, or the drain or sump may be clogged.
C2: Total pump-out took over 7 minutes
Press Reset to stop the beeping, then check the drain hose, air gap and disposal.
Leaks
999: Leak detected, or control needs a reset
On models with Floor Protect with Alert, 999 means a possible leak and the dishwasher won’t start. On other models, 999 means the control needs a reset. LEAK DETECTED means the cycle was cancelled because a leak was sensed.
LEAK DETECTEDDetergent and suds
C8: Detergent cup blocked or open
C8: something stopped the detergent cup opening fully. Cup Open: the cup wasn’t closed before the cycle.

Resetting a GE dishwasher
GE says switching the power off for a minute or two can clear a fault. For several codes it suggests turning the breaker off for about 30 seconds, then pressing Reset. If that doesn’t work, the dishwasher may need service.
