Hi Brenda. Sor[ry to hear about your troubles. If I was nearby I would come over and help you in person.
Read the reasons why your dishwasher may not be working and check as many as you can safely. Get back and let me know what you find. I will work with you as long as necessary to get this resolved.
If your dishwasher doesn't work at all, check these:
Power from the houseDoor switchWiringTimer or selector switch
Power from the house
Is there power getting to the dishwasher? This can be difficult to test, because dishwashers are usually wired directly to an electrical circuit, rather than plugged into the wall. But at least check for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
Door switch
The door switch is important because, if it's defective, the dishwasher won't work at all. To reach it, you need to remove the control panel cover, or sometimes the interior liner of the door. If it's defective, you need to completely replace it.
Wiring
Often the main wiring connection from the house, at the dishwasher, burns and breaks the connection. If that's the problem, the wires must be repaired/replaced as necessary. If that's not the problem, check the wiring to the door switch, the wiring between the door and the lower part of the dishwasher, and the wiring to the timer. Repair any broken, burned, brittle, or defective wiring, using the proper appliance-grade wire and connectors.
Timer or selector switch
Although it's uncommon, the timer or the selector switch may be defective. If so, you need to replace the defective part, because neither of these can be repaired.
mine (model PDW8480JSS) is doing this, and also it is not heating.
the problem is that the dish will not stop beeping and for some reason you can't reset it. How do you reset the ge prfile quitepower6
