my ge dishwasher gdf670syvfs just shows three lights on the display and won't start any cycle, what do i do?

— asked by Taylor

Quick answer: You are in diagnostic mode. The three lights likely indicate a specific fault code.

Diagnosis

You are in diagnostic mode. The three lights likely indicate a specific fault code. This mode activates from a specific button press sequence.

How to Fix It

Press and hold the Cycle Select and Start buttons together for 3 seconds. This exits diagnostic mode. The display should clear. Select your desired cycle and press Start normally.

If That Didn't Work

If it re-enters diagnostic mode on its own, you have an active fault. Note which lights are lit. Common ones: Heater, Sanitize, and Clean lights often indicate a heating element or temperature sensor failure. You will need a multimeter to test continuity.

Heads Up

Do not ignore persistent fault codes. A failed heating element can cause the dishwasher to not dry dishes or run extremely long cycles.
