Problems from day one with the electronics. It is less than half a year of age.
Maiden load went through a complete wash and hot dry with "normal" cycle and "Hi-temp Wash" option.
Ran the cycle/programme beautifully. Instead of turning itself off, the controls started beeping and flashing.
First the START/RESET button flashes. One can then hear the dergent cup triggering. It does this a few times then the "normal" cycle light/button flashes. Will stop beeping (but not flashing) when the door is unlatched.
It got so bad that I added a "wall-switch" under the adjacent sink cabinet with which to hard-power-down the whole unit/ circuit.
Eventually it would again default to proper behavior,at its own whim, in its own time. GE factory service has been here about 4/5 times each time replacing the computer circuit board/timer unit. I finally made them replace the resistor that connect to this board as well [It's a programming thing they say]. They simply will not replace the damn thing and insist it is repairable. HA!
The contol board sayd they take 6 minutes to reset themsleves upon power-up. On my machine they never do. This makes little sense to me IIRC in that newer USA electrical code requres wall-swithes for new dishwasher installs.
anyhoo....either there is an issue with the units wiring, the circuit board is indicating another fault or the circuit board are from the same defective (yes they are Chinese-made)batch.
HELP. And how do I apply the screws to GE to get a new one or better yet a big fat check to get something else. I don't G.A.S what stays behind, as long as it works. The house finally got sold! YAY
