GE Appliances dishwasher error code

GE Appliances dishwasher code 999: Leak detected (Floor Protect) or control needs reset

GE dishwashers; meaning depends on whether the model has Floor Protect with Alert

What 999 means

On models with the Floor Protect with Alert feature, 999 means a possible leak and the dishwasher won't start. On other models it means the control needs to be reset.

Likely causes

  • Leak detected by Floor Protect
  • Control needs a reset

Safe first checks

  1. If your model doesn't have Floor Protect, reset the control by switching the dishwasher off at the circuit breaker for a minute or two, then back on.

When to stop

On Floor Protect models, GE says to contact service. Don't keep running a dishwasher that's leaking.
