circuit breaker.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect
the water inlet line from the water valve.

Caring for the dishwasher. ge.com
Cleaning the Door Panel
Before cleaning the front panel, make
sure you know what type of panel you have.
Refer to the last two letters of your model
number. You can locate your model number
on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door.
If your model number ends with BB or WW
then you have a Painted Door panel. If your
model number ends with SS, then you have
a Stainless Steel Door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the
door panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending
in BB–black or WW–white)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. You may also use a
good appliance wax or polish.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers
ending in SS)
The stainless steel panels can be cleaned
with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product
using a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance
wax, polish, bleach or products containing
chlorine on Stainless Steel doors.
You can order Stainless Steel Magic
#WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling
800.626.2002.
Cleaning the Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly
dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.
Protect Against Freezing
Check the air gap any time
your dishwasher isn’t draining
well.
An air gap protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it if a drain
clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require
air gaps, so you may not have one.
The air gap is easy to clean.
Turn off the dishwasher and lift off
the cover.
Remove the plastic cap and clean
with a toothpick.

Stainless Steel Interior—Tub and Inner Door
The stainless steel used to make the
dishwasher tub and inner door provides
the highest reliability available in a GE
dishwasher. If the dishwasher tub or inner
door should be scratched or dented during
normal use, they will not rust or corrode.
These surface blemishes will not affect
their function or durability.
