GE Adora Dishwasher won't change zones.

I have a 14 month old dishwasher Model # DDT700SSNSS. It is not cleaning dishes, I checked the filter and it seemed to be running, draining etc just fine. However, every time I open it when running it is only spraying the bar under the utensil basket. The top and bottom rack spray bars never move. I known the dishwasher has a top and bottom zone that can be selected, and apparently the utensils are their own zone also. But the dishwasher never switches off the utensils, and the top and bottom rack dishes never get cleaned. Does anyone have any idea what I should look at?

First check all the holes in wash arms. Make sure all holes are clear from clogs. Run a full cycle where top and bottom racks will be cleaned. Before pushing start, spin the wash arms by hand. To make sure nothing is dropping through the rack to stop wash arms. Check it again mid-way through the cycle. The water pressure can move items around and pop through. I don’t recall having a dishwasher to stop on silverware basket

I would check for a water flow blockage in the pipes.

Our 3 month old ge adora dishwasher stopped working properly yesterday. Made funny noise and later I started smelling something burning. Opened it and noticed no water was in it. Restarted and still n

Sounds like the water inlet valve isn't working. Check your house water pressure and make sure it's not above 80 psi. If it isn't, then call a repair company that handles GE warranty work.

Dishes do not clean

There are many probable causes of failure .

To clean the dishes the water temperature is essential.It the water is not hot then the dishes will not be cleaned properly.So check the water temperature.

Also check the filter in your dishwasher.

If you are in an hard water zone , then try reducing the amount of detergent used and then try cleaning the dishes.

Dishwasher soap dispenser won't open during cycle

I had the same problem with my GE Adora. The dishes were getting cloudy and the soap dispenser would not open. Turns out the hard water deposits were causing the soap dispenser to stick shut. I purchased and used Dishwasher Magic which is a dishwasher cleaner designed to remove limescale, rust and buildup. I used as directed and now my dishes are sparkling and the soap dispenser pops right open.
