✨ GE DISHWASHER NO POWER - Easy FIX ✨
Fixed With A New Power Board
GET THE NEW POWER BOARD HERE: amzn.to/3a893cH
Easy to Install a new GE power board. It lives below the dishwasher door.
Before replacing the power board, try unplugging the wires to the power board for 30 minutes and then plug back in to see if it powers back up.
This is very common for GE Dishwashers.
✨Try these RESET instructions before replacing parts:
Discovering your GE dishwasher seems to have no power or is flashing and beeping for no apparent reason can be an unwelcome surprise or frustration that might have you thinking you need to call a dishwasher repair technician. However, there’s no need to fret, as chances are the issue can be resolved by performing a dishwasher reset.
How you reset your specific GE dishwasher will depend on its model number and whether it has the control panel on the front or on the top of the door.
What causes the dishwasher to need resetting?
There are several reasons why your dishwasher may need a reset. The more common reasons are a power surge, pressing the start button too many times, a failing component, or an aging control board.
If the dishwasher has been working without any issues or error codes showing, it is unlikely a more serious issue, like a failing component or defective control board, is responsible.
Power surge or power cut
If there is a power surge or power cut, most GE dishwashers will need to be reset. Reset instructions will vary depending on the model and type of GE dishwasher. However, in some cases, pressing the Start/Reset button and then waiting a few minutes will get the dishwasher to reset and reboot.
For other models, after a power failure the dishwasher Start/Reset button may blink when the power is restored. Pressing the Start/Reset button once should start the drain pump to remove residual water from the dishwasher. After about a minute, the dishwasher should be back to normal and ready to be used.
If the power went out while the dishwasher was in the middle of a cycle, with most GE models, the dishwasher will remember where it was in the cycle and resume from that point.
, the Start/Reset button, when pressed once, will start the dishwasher cycle. However, if pressed twice, the dishwasher will reset. Pressing the Start/Reset button will restart the cycle.
Beeping or blinking lights
Press the Start/Reset button
If the lights are blinking and the dishwasher is beeping, it can be as simple as pressing the Start/Reset button to return the dishwasher to normal. The issue could also be caused by the door being open, where closing the door properly resolves the issue. If the issue remains, disconnecting the power will likely solve the problem.
Disconnect the power
Beeping or blinking lights are often caused by a power surge or an error code.
One way to reset the dishwasher when the lights are blinking or the dishwasher is beeping is to disconnect the power to the dishwasher for 30 seconds. If the dishwasher does not appear to be reset, try leaving it unplugged for ten minutes instead. If your dishwasher does not have a plug, the power can be disconnected from your home’s electrical panel.
Blinking Start or Start/Reset button
If the Start or Start/Reset button is blinking, the dishwasher is likely shutting down after being reset. The light should continue blinking for 75-90 seconds before turning off. Once the dishwasher turns off, you can press Start to turn it on, and the dishwasher should be reset and ready to go.
Kickplate reset button
Some GE models have a reset button behind the kickplate access panel. If your GE model has a kickplate, you can unthread the screws to remove the access panel, and you may find two buttons in the bottom left corner. Pressing the first button will reset your GE dishwasher.
Make sure to disconnect the power before removing the access panel, as the junction box wires may be exposed, which could electrocute you, especially if you are unfamiliar with what is behind the kickplate.
To put the dishwasher in service mode, hold the Select Cycle button and the Start button down for five seconds. Next, to reset the dishwasher, press the Select Cycle button for five seconds. This should activate the lock button light. Press Select Cycle again for five seconds. Hold the Start button now for five seconds. The Start button should start flashing. Finally, hold the Start and Select Cycle button down for five seconds. The dishwasher control panel should now light up, and the dishwasher should be ready to go.

[@Mattmann312]

Before you buy a new circuit board: I simply unplugged/unclipped the two modular connectors below the dishwasher and plugged them back in and it came back to life. You should turn the circuit breaker off before you do this to prevent electrical shock. My theory on why this problem happens is that there may be corrosion that develops on/in the teeny tiny pins on these connectors. On mine, it wasn't just a power/reboot problem. I know this because prior to this solution, I had left my circuit breaker off for days and when I turned it back on, the dishwasher still didn't work. It wasn't until I pulled those mini modular connectors and reconnected them that it immediately came back to life. I made sure to repeatedly unplug and re-plug them in a bunch of times in a row in an attempt to "exercise" or help rub off any corrosion that may have developed on those pins or in the pin receiving holes on the plug before finally connecting them back permanently. So far so good. Not a fan of GE anymore.

[@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance]

Wow, Excellent job Matt😊👍

[@GnikWoc]

This totally worked for me, I just had to rub the first connector, which is the door to the control board

[@gunracksonline]

[@dbow1313]

Thank you! Bought an OEM part vs refurb. Anyone else who takes this on should be aware that they will encounter some very sharp corners and edges along the way. I think we all can agree that old school GE appliances would have lasted way more than 3 years, so the fact that we even need to have this video is a shame. In any case, well done, sir. Very helpful.

[@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance]

I totally agree. The old GEs were built so much better.

[@goldenbachhomestead6392]

I totally agree. We replaced the interface board in the door and then the main control board only to end up with it still not working. I’m totally disappointed. We had a GE from the early 90s and it was still going strong when we replaced it with this newer one. Boy was that a mistake on our part.

[@iainbeverley6237]

So helpful and thanks for making it sound easy. Our GE dishwasher stopped working during a storm, watched your video, ordered the part, re-watched and followed your brilliant steps. Flicked the breaker back on and it lit up. I couldn’t believe it! We have been hand washing dishes for 2 weeks. You can’t beat the feeling of fixing it yourself. Genuine thanks.

[@davib7534]

​@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Why don't you reply to the questions? Seems you just answer compliments.

[@careyjackson3365]

Generally, if that condition worked, the junction box wires may be loose under the wire connector. Remember once power is applied or the switch is engaged the wires will react to current flow. If the connection is loose the power will arc across partially unconnected wires. Over time these arcing conditons will create dark spots on the conducting wires preventing good connection. I would advise to hire an Electrician to investigate the junction box which usually has several component wire nuts connecting electrical components or receptacles inside.

[@tomferguson1210]

[@cjack121]

Not to offend anyone but everyone is patting themselves on the back for “fixing” their own dishwasher and how much money they saved. Doesn’t it bother anyone that 3 and 4 year old appliances need to be fixed. I replaced the main power board at 2 years, repaired the pump at 3 and now 4 yrs. it’s dead again. I should have known it was coming, plug unplug works for a week or 2 then dead again. I did know it was up to something, random musical tones at all hours seam to be a harbinger of a problem. The thing that bothers me most is Where Is The Outrage! . This company is pumping out junk and people are happy when it’s only a board replacement. I plan to dissect the board and test each component, I wonder if there’s a GFI circuit that’s somehow resetting itself. One thing is for sure if I buy another dishwasher, it won’t be GE.

[@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance]

Yep, GE is now junk👍

[@ggardner2510]

Yes dead, unplug, wait, plug back in, it works. Glad I did more than watch the video. Seems odd they fail after the manufacturers warranty and like mine, @ 3+ years, just over what most extended warranties would run. If discharging a capacitor "resets" the power circuit, to me that is suspicious. My ROKU TV just started doing the same thing at 3+ years. I got an unwatchable green screen only while streaming that's reset using the same type of power reset. Planned obsolescence at it's best if manufacturers can program in which day a product will die.

[@vihayster]

I have similar GE dishwasher and I had similar symptoms. I was ready to replace the main board but I found REAL culprit. The main 3 pin female connector that connect 120V power to the main board had was loose. I disassembled it, bent connectors and put it back together. It works again and I didn't replace ANY parts. Sometimes other part that works with that connector has to be re soldered....(male connector that is soldered into the board). Folks, please check those electrical connections BEFORE buying expensive parts. A door/latch switch is very often overlooked cause of many failures.

[@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance]

Great info. Thank you👍

Oh lordy, been washing dishes by hand for a while until I had time to pull the board and get the replacement board purchased. Read a couple of the comments regarding unplugging and plugging in the main power connector to the board 2 or 3 times to remove any oxidation. Repeayed that process tonight and the dishwasher came back online immediately. Now we will see if it solves the problem long term!!

[@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance]

Nicely done 😊😊😊

[@rameitori]

Thank you so much for this. We have the same model at home and several months ago it started to regularly beep once out of nowhere. I think it was after a power surge (as you mention in the description). We let that go until it just suddenly stopped turning on. All I ended up doing was disconnecting this plug at 0:52, waited a bit before plugging it back and after turning on the breaker it beeped back to life! Glad I didn't have to go all the way to changing the board, but the video was nonetheless very helpful! Now to hoping it keeps on working.

[@noumenon6923]

BEFORE replacing the control board,… try this instead,….. shut off the house breaker or unplug the control board (located behind the kick panel at the bottom), for say one hour, then plug back in or turn on the breaker. Every few months I get no power to the display, and all I do is the above, and it’s works each time. I’m very suspicious about this defect from GE, and someone is selling a lot of boards unnecessarily. At this point I just leave the home breaker off until I need to run the dishwasher.

[@tonysitko2540]

Just took my board out and looking up the part read this thought why not put it back in it fricken works thank you !

[@barcodenosebleed5485]

Yeah, cleaning the contacts for the mains power fixed it. Hard to see as they are so small, but both the line and neutral contacts are discolored some, darkened, and it does look like there was some oxidation on the metal of the contacts. Cleaned them out with some mineral spirits, goo gone, a very small metal pick (for the male connector) and an electrical lead clipped off a large diode I had laying around... I cut some small scores in that to roughen it up and then jammed it in and out of the other connector. Put it back together and it came right back. If it happens again I'll buy a better connector set and replace it on the board.

My dishwasher is also just over two years old. We’ve been hand washing for a few months after having an appliance guy and electrician look at it with no solution. I just disconnected/reconnected the wire like you suggested and it came on. Guess I’ll also need a new control board!

[@johnnycook2384]

If I had known that GE would screw up the old PotScrubber Dishwasher with something that failed after 3 years I would have bought 3 of them and just mothballed the stash and saved them in the attic. This is soul-crushing to have to shell out more and more money from my fixed income in retirement to pay for a modest, functional dwelling.

Thanks! Great vid. My dishwasher was blacking out intermittently for months… often reset by turning the breaker off. Initially turning it off briefly did the trick but as it occurred more, it seemed to require longer periods with the breaker off to reset and function.

Saw another comment on here and wanted to confirm it worked for me. After completely unplugging the board and waiting a few minutes the dishwasher came back to life after plugging everything back in without replacing anything. Editing to share more of my experience, since this has continued to be a problem. The issue with our specific machine seems to be the the plug connection from the power cord to the power board is loose. It's doesn't seem obvious upon first inspection, but the fact that you can wiggle the plugs while fully seated has me struggling to think of a resolution. A new board didn't fix the problem and I'm at a loss for how to get a better connection since you can't solder considering the plugs are plastic.

Thoughts on Dielectric Grease on the electrical connectors? Several times a week, the GE Adora would have no power, unplugged it under the sink for an hour or so, and then it would power back up. Watched your video. I have power at both points shown. While I had it down I put the DG into the wire nuts and the circuit plugs.

Excellent, Thanks Irene😊👍

[@EveryDayCivilianBlog]

Is this the new part number? I could only find a part that is called the configured UI Board for $111.50 on GE’s website. Our dishwasher goes out more often. Sometimes leaving the breaker off and turning it back on later will bring power back to the dishwasher. Figured it was a switch assembly issue since the dishwasher functions sometimes and continues to chime even with the door closed. I’m starting to lean towards ordering this configured UI Board since it’s the most expensive part on the schematics.

There are two control boards. This one is the one in the video. There is another one that goes in the door which you have to disassemble to get to. I just replaced the one in the video. So far my dishwasher is working, however it still chirps occasionally, so who knows?

I pulled the front most plug that goes into the board, was going to pull the board like the video, happened to blow it out and plug it back in, because I forgot to unplug the machine and all the lights came back on. On my second load, no issues.

I did this many times but the issue comes back no power to the control panel .. if just take the control panel connector and reconnect it to the main pcb it works again for few weeks . Control board replacement is not the permanent solution there’s some issues with either the wiring harness or the control panel

[@jonathonvince3605]

Welp ours just did this. It has been acting goofy for a while. Ordered a new board wish me luck when it gets here Tuesday. I couldn't see buying a new 900 buck dishwasher when maybe its a 100 dollar board ✌ thanks man

[@EveryDayCivilianBlog]

Did it get fixed with the new board? Ours is acting up after three years as well. I’ve turned the breaker off and on once in awhile and it comes back sometimes. The control panel would stay on constantly and chime even if the door is closed. Just debating on which route I’ll go. I may take the old board out and check the connection pins first. See if that fixes it. Worse case it’s the control board, if that doesn’t fix it it might be the switch assembly at the top of the dishwasher.

Does this board, WD21X20450 fit several different models of GE? I have a GE model# GDT695ssj2ss. It's about 2 years old. It looks (almost identical). However mine has no jumpers? Would like to make sure before spending the money at a parts store online. thx in advance!

[@davib7534]

Well it worked for a few weeks, although the beep every 10 minutes didn't go away. Now it's completely dead again. Soooo, do you guys think I should try the control panel, or did the new board (that is just as susceptible as the old because it has the same defect) gone out again? F" GE! You suck GE!

I replaced the main board 3 months ago and everything worked fine until last night. Same problem came back. I called a repair guy and he told me to try removing the kick, pull out the black wire that goes from the door to the main board and then put it back in. And like magic all the lights came back on and dishwasher works perfectly. Try that before you update the main (power) board.

Does anyone have an answer for this? No power for no reason (no storm, no surge, no breaker kicked, etc).
