also clean the unit... unplug.. spray hose thru the vanes/coils outside/back side to remove dust and dirt from the unit. Let sit for 15-20 minutes before pluging back in.

Best to you.

Question moved from Rifle Optic Sights to GE Dishwasher.

You have a code that doesn't exist.

Try a reset, and there are videos on fixing beeps

..

Those beeps are a fault code. - check the service manual for what to do next,

You can find information on the E8 error code here
https://appliancerepairinfo.com/ge-dishwasher-error-codes/

means that the unit thinks the water coming into it isn't hot enough. It can be reset, but here is the way to avoid this problem. Run the hot water in the sink until it comes out hot. Then the unit shouldn't give this error.
All dishwashers require at least water of 140 degrees or higher

that is a very good question
i cant find a "distributary valve" for sale

lots of water inlet valves hot and cold single units


almost every dishwasher user manual and has code e8 mentioned and faulty distributary valve

why the fault
.If the distributary valve have worked for 150
seconds, and could not reach right
position during wash cycle,after the cycle is finished, the dishwasher will shut off all
loads, the alarm buzzer will ring for 30 seconds and the window will display "E8" at rate
of 1Hz in 30 seconds, and then display "E8" , drain water for 2 minutes meanwhile

hot water form the house takes less power to bring up to machine temperature so by hooking it to cold water will increase the power consumption
call a service center and get the explanation for the error codes and that will explain what is faulty
you didn't mention the make and model of the unit and every error code appears different
for example in a fulgor milano machine code 8 is failure of orientation of distributary valve ===causes open circuit or break of distributary valve
for hoover nextra e8 is dishwasher has failed to heat with water in a reasonable time or has failed to detect the water heating element===causes check water heating element/wiring--check wiring to main control module
go google and type in-- dishwashing machine error code 8-- and see if there is any site for your machine to get the error code and causes
other than that get in a service technician for a correct diagnosis and fix

F1 Failed Thermistor Control Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC)
Good Luck and Please Rate Fixya!

After leaving the dishwasher locked with the error code still showing, I returned to find that it had reset itself and run through the full cycle.
Problem solved itself.

I have the same problem, although my oven is 3 years old. I am having the door latch replaced today. cost $240. The repair company that I contacted sid that these ovens are their bread & butter!!! If I could afford it I would ship all of my GE appliances(which are only 3 years old mind you) to them and tell them to shove them!! I alreadt spent over $200 on my GE dishwasher which at the time was only 1 1/2 yearsd old.Did you clean the oven before the error code started [email protected]
