Sometimes your dishwasher will also need a new power board.

✨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.

Replaced door latch & circuit board . Fixed the problem. Five stars to you man. Saved me hundreds .
Nice job Ray😊
I had the same issue--beeping three times, meaning the door is "open." I saw another video that said the plastic latch mechanism can become slightly worn over time, and the two pieces that engage are not tight, so I wrapped a small piece of electrical tape around the door's latch (the triangular piece) to make it a more snug fit, and it worked. Now it sees it as "closed." No unscrewing anything, no buying the part. Free fix.
Omg 😱 as I read your comment I saw a piece of electrical tape and grabbed it and it worked within 2 seconds. Thank you 🙏
@@luckynicky13 Well, I hope the fix lasts longer for you than it did me. Within about a week or so, the same problem returned. This time, nothing I could do would work. Had to call someone in to diagnose it, and they said the circuit board on the top of the door wasn't seeing one on the bottom, resulting in the same "open door" sensor. Said it would cost a few hundred to fix it, and a whole new one was about double, so I caved and replaced it.
THANKS !!!!!
As a single female, just wanted to thank you for these vids!! I had this exact problem and no guy friends available for help. Watched your video, ordered a part, and $27 and 10 minutes later it was fixed. Keep ‘‘em coming!!
Nothing wrong with being self sufficient
Replaced the latch, no-go. Replaced control board, GO! Thanks for saving us the expense of a new dishwasher!
Very cool, I’m so glad it worked 😊👍
Thank you so much for posting this video! Mine had been giving me this problem off and on for a few months and I would just unplug it for about 10 minutes and it would reset itself and work again. Until it didn't. THANKSGIVING NIGHT when it was filled to the gills with dirty dishes it wouldn't start no matter what I did. Thanks to your video explaining the different coded beeps I was just able to conclude that the main board needed to be replaced in order to fix it. I was able to install the new board and get it running again! What a lifesaver! You saved me from an expensive call to a repairman or outright buying a new washer. I appreciate it.

At the moment I am having this issue. Turning off the breaker (power) to the dishwasher for ~3 minutes then powering back on clears the issue. At least, it has the two times so far that this has happened to me. The fact that a hard power cycle clears the problem leads me to believe it's more likely to be an aging circuit board (6 years) as opposed to a faulty switch. It looks like the connector for the door close switch is a JST-HX connector. I was thinking I could rig up a small test harness to see if I could send a door closed signal, but the procedure you provided on how to test what the board is seeing is a better way to do it. I'm glad I came across your video. Thanks for sharing, Scott!
Thanks so much Steven😊
You can try removing the wires from the power board below the door and cleaning any corrosion with electrical cleaner 👍
I had thunderstorms come through causing power to flicker on/off quickly...the next day my dishwasher was doing exactly what is in the video. So decided to try the easy fix first and turned off the circuit breaking feeding power to the dishwasher for 30 seconds. This seems to have cleared the problem, try this first before going for switch and/or circuit board.
Great info. Bret😊👍
Hitting the circuit breaker did it for me well.
Such a crappy appliance. Excuse to buy another. Thanks for great video. I think I can fix it myself now!
My wife read online that we should unplug it and wait a minute and plug it back in. It worked!! It’s working normally now!
Excellent,
Thank you😊
That's what we did too but a month later it completely went out! Got new door latch thing and still no go. Next step is the controller replacement.
Thanks so much for this video. It saved me from an incompetent tech, or perhaps a lying tech. I had a tech look at a RUNNING dishwasher due to dirty dishes. A dirty float valve was replaced which he said required the removal of the lower access panel. While there he plugged in a RJ45 device which allowed for washer monitoring via Bluetooth on his phone and the pushing of new system firmware to the control board. Something happened with no clear description from the tech and the washer started the 3-beep error. Tech assured me it was a malfunctioning control board that "just failed". Tech did not even mention the door lock mechanism you noted most commonly fails. I checked another video while he was onsite and asked about improper installation causing the door lock to fail and perhaps a shim above the lock would help. The tech immediately dismissed this and said it was a faulty control board. After he left, I found YOUR video and tried pushing on the harness connector which connects the door lock sensor to the control board. Breaker off before removing access panel and breaker back on after reattaching access panel. I pressed start on the washer and it worked like a champ. I really wonder if the connector was purposefully left not fully engaged. With the tech onsite I turned off the dishwasher breaker for over 30 minutes so I’m pretty sure the culprit was the harness was NOT fully engaged.
Is there a way to field test a control board to see if it has any faults? Also consider a series of videos highlighting how unscrupulous/incompetent techs can rip off clients. Another interesting series is maintenance tasks. I did not even know a drain filter existed in the dishwasher - homeowners should definitely read those manuals.
Thanks so Much.
Sounds like a really bad tech.
Replaced the door sensor and it worked. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video. I got lucky I just wrapped electrical tape around the latch and viola it worked !!!! BTW one of your commentors gave this as a fix I didn't come across the fix on my own .
I had the door close switch connector loose. once pushed in till clicked all are good. Thank you.
Thanks for the great video! I was not as relaxed as you were but all the steps were right on!
Awesome,
I’m so glad you got it going😊
Thank you! The service mode sequence is what made my dishwasher run after installing the new door switch.
Excellent! Thank you 👍
Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge, which saved me from spending $$$ for a new dishwasher! New control board brought the old one back to life.
Awesome,
Thanks Thomas👍
You left out the step in your video where you leave a poor review somewhere for this dishwasher
😂😂😂GE is major crap nowadays
This video was so helpful- problem fixed. The small comments made throughout were key to each step. THANK YOU!
I power-cycled my washer using the circuit breaker, then waiting three minutes, and this fixed the problem.
Excellent,
Thanks for the update😊 tip jar:venmo.com/code?user_id=2758682643267585005
Great Video. Thanks for the tips. The camera on the head is a great idea for a “how to” video.
Glad you enjoyed it!😊👍
Some people are finding that the latch is too high and by placing shims above the switch fixes the issue. One test is to unscrew the switch, open the door, and manually place the latch on the door. If the dishwasher starts its an alignment issue and shims should fix it.
You’re right Joe,
Thank you😊
Thank you for this video! I was able to fix my same model as this video solely because of your descriptive play by play
Thank you,
I’m so glad it worked 😊😊😊
I have a GE dishwasher but different model and yes they are junk. Replaced the door switch but still getting three beeps for open door. Looks like I will need to purchase the main board. That’s about $120 for my board. Had to replace UI board about 18 months ago. Thanks for sharing this video.
Can you try unplugging the wires to that control board under the door and then plug them back in?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I already had the old board removed but reconnected all the connections. Still getting the three beeps and no start. It was worth a try. Thanks for your reply. Replacement board should be here in a few days. One year warranty from GE. Hopefully I can squeeze a few more years out of this machine that’s going on 6.5 years. Next one wouldn’t be a GE ! Any thoughts on brands to buy ?
Thanks for the hint. One of the 3 wires go to the door latch was cut under the washer...my guess is rodent. I reattached the broken wire and the dishwasher is back in business. Thanks again.
That is excellent, thank you😊
Very helpful 👍🏼
Glad you think so!😊
This helped me out tremendously, thank you!
I'm so glad!😊👍
I actually changed the User Interface board, not the main board. for customers about 8 times last year due to surges, some to this 3-beep-error. I have yet to have a faulty latch be the case, although I read that that is the error however, for me, it has always come from a bad UI board. We get a lot of lightning surges down here in Florida that fry control boards of all types. The replacements generally have to be "personality programmed" using provided jumpers. One of the 8 UI boards lasted for about 4-5 months and then I got a call back that the three beeps came back. . This time I replaced the UI board and it didn't fix it, so it WAS likely the main board, but the customer wisely decided she'd had enough of GE. I have a peer that says the opposite, i.e. that he's only replaced the main board. He has them truck stock as he says there are usually only two kinds.
Great info. Thank you. Would one of those power strips with the circuit interrupter stop the lightning from frying the boards ?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel HI. I imagine if it's a good one, a surge protector like that would do the trick but I've been told of instances where they still failed. I tell every one of my clients to get whole house surge protection at the breaker box. it's about $350-$500 but it's a hardware solution that stops it from getting to the outlets. Also, I forget the reasoning but I also have heard many times that people should not put their appliances on GFI outlets, especially refrigerators. I get calls here and there that they pop the GFIs and when I tell them to move it to a standard outlet, they have no further problems.
This was great advice! You saved us $770!!! Easy to follow description. It was exactly the issue! Thanks again!!
Thanks so much Eric👍😊
Slightly lower model, had issue with 3 beeps wouldn't start. Also had issue where power would go away unless power was removed and replaced. In my case door switch seemed to check out okay. Other videos said replace the main board. I replaced all the electrolytic caps on the main board, that changed nothing. I replaced the 3 electrolytic caps on the control panel board and now the dishwasher seems to work fine. 3 weeks since replacing the capacitors. My friend used an ESR tester on the 3 capacitors that I replaced and said they seem to still check out fine but machine has been solid since.
Wow,
Nice work 👍😊
Do you have any parts /directions to share.? I'm going to order a new board but would be nice to know what fails so I can fix the old one as well. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Really helpful
Thanks Scott 😊👍
I fixed mine by shutting the breaker off then back on. Fixed it. It was doing the 3 beeps
Great Job Patti❤️👍😊
If you are lucky that might fix it but only temporarily more than likely. These dishwashers are notorious for circuit boards failing. Either UI or main board sometimes both !
Awesome freaking video!
Thanks so Much 😊😊😊
Thanks!
Thank you very much.
You are very welcome 👍😊
Same problem I had I took out latch switch sprayed with contact cleaner works like a charm now.
Where did you buy that part?
Thank you for the help
You’re most welcome 😊
Thanks for the helpful, thorough video.
Hey John,
You’re most welcome 😊
This helped a lot. Yet we are still at a loss. We changed the lock, and I guess that wasn't the issue. When u mount it back.... it does the same 3 bips. When we pull it back out. It works with no problems. We just dont know what is wrong
Can you try removing the electrical connectors from the circuit board below the dishwasher door and then put them back on?
That should get it working.
If not you can replace the power board👍
Scott The Fix-It Guy DIY Appliance Videos the think is it works. Right now is ruining a cycle as I type. But outside the counter. As soon as we mount it back up under the counter, it goes back to the beep beep beep thing. By the way thank you sooooo much for your answer!!
@@analeila
Gotcha,
When it gets screwed into the cabinet the upper frame gets pulled up too far from the top of the door.
Can you try raising the 2 front feet so the top of the door is now closer to the top of the dishwasher frame?
Scott Flint i imagined something like that!!!. This one has the screws on the side, though. I will let it finish this cycle and raise the front feet, as u said. I will let you know how it works. I appreciate your help more than I can tell you Scott thank you soooo much. This is a side screw though but I will check t
@scottflint7297 update: Is working!!! Well, it was none of the electrical pieces. It happened that the washer had shifted and was sitting perfectly against the counter frame in a way that prevented the door from closing fully. Just enough to not allow the final latch but to be unnoticeable. That's why it was working outside the cointertop. "Facepalm". Still, big thanks to you. I would have to call someone in just to tell me that, so your video and your repplies helped me a lot!!! Thank you, Scott 😊
Thank you!!
Is there a way to confirm the board is bad before I order that part? I've already replaced the user interface board and the latch. Getting tired of putting money into this thing.
Can you try disconnecting all of the wires from the user interface board that’s below the Dishwasher Door and then plug them back in to see if that brings back power.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I've got power at this point. Now the dishwasher seems to believe that the dishwasher door is never closed. I'll try reconnecting the circuit board again tomorrow one last time to see if that changes anything.
not always the door lock. can also be the control board. I know of two units that was the answer
Yep,
Probably about 80% it’s the door lock, 15% it’s the motor control and 5% the motor windings.
Mine has been doing this I tried “gently” slamming the door closed and was about ready to just order a new switch. But I tried switching the cycle to “one hour” instead of “normal” and it worked first time. New electronic appliances suck.
You speak the truth 👍
Hi there. I had the 3 beep 815 error and replaced both the latch and the control panel.. but now it's making a clicking sound and trying to cycle on and the sump lights up as it clicks. That may be a poor description, but I'm not sure what to do next. I am unplugging it so it won't continue this all night. Any ideas?
Can you try replacing this board : th-cam.com/video/FoyI3JOJpck/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pYa4Vfsj3TXVVD2B
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I already did, but maybe the refinished control board I got is defective
Did it fix the problem?
It did😊
It ended up being my control board. Now $120 at my local appliance store. The part number on searspartsdirect was no longer correct.
Nice job Andrew👍
Any idea why it would just randomly beep 3 times. Ge dishwasher with no blinking lights and cycles just fine. Tried turning power off a circuit breaker and tried a rest. Still does it randomly.
What’s the part number ? Looks like most models around this era (mine) are some type of latch
Sounds dumb but try unplugging it, waiting 5 seconds, and plugging it back in
Great info😊
Can i get the link to by the part?

Mine did this on the very first use
That’s rough😬 We’re you able to fix it?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I have a scheduled appointment for someone to come out and look at it. $200 just to walk through the door.
@@antoniobridgeforth2362 will it be covered by the warranty?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel possibly for the repairs but not the walk in fee
I replaced door latch didnot work still 3 beeps
Can some one tell me where to buy board ?
Here you are: amzn.to/3fsfjSB
This didn't fix my issue. I have replaced with a brand new latch same model. No change
Thanks Armel,
Just need to now replace the small circuit board. That’s just below your dishwasher door.
Replaced the latch and still got three beeps. Checked for error code and it gave 364 0. This is for pressure sensor. Should I try that before replacing the "board"?
That’s a good idea👍
thank you. Ordered the part@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel
I replaced the pressure sensor and still got three beeps and error code 364 0. Ordered a new motherboard and just installed it. I still get the same result, three beeps and error code 364 0. Any other suggestions?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel
@@williamherman5467did you figure out what was wrong with it?
@@aisha3243 So after changing the latch, and the two boards it was still beeping and not working. I decided to try something with the latch. I pushed a screw driver into the latch where the part from the door goes. Turned the dishwasher on and it started working. So the part on the door was not engaging the latch completely. Seems that the door had dropped just a tiny bit and was not engaging the latch. I raised the door very slightly and the latch engaged allowing the dishwasher to work properly. I know there is a correct way to raise the door, but I just added a small washer under the door bracket in order to raise it. I hope this helps.
replaced main board, door switch and wire harness on GE dishwasher GDF650SSJ0SS still beeps 3 times door open?
Hi, did you find the reason why it’s doing that??
I replaced my GE control board last year and it went bad already. Wow! GE sucks,
Yep,
Can you try adding some Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease to each electrical connection that goes to the new power board?
Steam can get in and corrode those connections.

I have a new one and it's irritating. Wakes me up at night.
Might tru unplugging it overnight .
GE dishwasher is so crappy now compared to 20 years ago. The door is so flimpsy.

They really are the bottom of the barrel nowadays for appliances😞
I SLAMMED THE DOOR HARD AND IT STARTED!
Sounds like a new door lock will help👍
Ha! Man, thanks for this… seems to have gotten the point across to my washer as well. Started and finished that load. We’ll see if it holds up.
Thank you very much.
