GE dishwasher code H2O: low water

Fixable with care

What it means

The dishwasher detected a low-water condition.

What to try

Unplug the dishwasher before any step beyond a quick look, and turn the water off before touching hoses.

  1. Check the inlet hose for kinks.
  2. If the code only appears on the 1-Hour Wash cycle, you can keep using other cycles until it’s serviced.

Call a technician if

  • There are no kinks and the code appears on other cycles.
  • It appears on 1-Hour Wash; GE says to schedule service for that.

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.
