if it uses an electric heating coil to boost temp- that may have failed. they don,t last forever! if it is pretty old, and fixing it costs a bunch- may be time to add a new member to your kitchen appliances! the latest consumer reports has some 'best buys' listed. (no- i don't work for cr!). good luck!
The usual discrepancies with run times is due to water heating time. For example, your dishwasher may be estimating run time + time to heat the water from cold. If your dishwasher is connected to hot water instead of cold, it will skip the majority of the heat cycle and adjust the time accordingly. On the other hand for other people, their dishwasher brands may say "50 minute wash" but this does not take into account heating time, so wash can be anything up to around 70-80 minutes.
You don't program each station. You only program one start time that begins the cycle that consists of the three stations.
Remove all start times but the first one and make that 5:45.
Set the station times to whatever you want, 12 minutes.
At 5:45, station 1 starts.
at 5:57, station 1 shuts off, station 2 starts.
at 6:09, station 2 shuts and station 3 starts.
at 6:21, station 3 shuts.
The most likely reason is the amount of time needed to fill with water.. Low water pressure in your pipes can make a difference to time needed to fill..Multiply this extra time by the number of fills.. Also a blocked or faulty inlet valve can affect fill time..I hope this helps....Good luck....Nomess
I talked with a GE techy, and was told to either turn off the circuit breaker or unscrew the fuse for the power to the dishwasher, wait 45 seconds, then turn the power back on. GUESS WHAT? IT WORKED!!! try it.
Aestaie, On the quick wash cycle the machine goes through a heated rinse at 160 degrees. I think what's happening here is that the board checks the thermistor and is finding that the water is not hot enough and say's, hey, I need more time to heat this water and resets itself. The element in the dishwasher will only heat the water 1 degree every 3 to 5 minutes. So after the initial wash, there is a 2 minute drain, it fills again and there is the heated rinse. If the water is 120 and the final rinse needs to be 160, we have some heating to do here. Therefore the reset. Sounds like the dishwasher is working OK, Catriver..post back
