Get ready to hand wash everything
on September 21, 2026

This dishwasher won't even get syrup off plates. It doesn't rinse milk residue from glasses (even on the jets.) I am replacing it even though it won't match all my other GE appliances because I am sick of doing dishes by hand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We want to help you with your dishwasher not cleaning properly. We recommend making sure you are using a high efficiency detergent in a tablet or packet form. Additionally, check that the inlet water temperature is at least 120°F. Also, make sure to load your unit as shown in pages 13 to 19 of the owner's manual here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--N8WRS7By--/4dadfa2e6981309ae8cb45af496c66528e74d809.pdf.
If the issue persists after troubleshooting, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL or online here: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
Horrible at cleaning. Leaves food on dishes. Rack falls out of place. Do not recommend.

We'd like to assist with your dishwasher's cleaning performance and the racks not staying in place. It's extremely important to make sure the incoming water is set at a minimum of 120°F. Additionally, you'll want to ensure the dishware is being properly loaded to get the best cleaning results. Make sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket, where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in poor washing performance. You can find instructions on loading and additional suggestions here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17452.
It's important to make sure you're not overloading your dishwasher's racks. Our dishwasher upper racks are life-tested to handle a 30 lb. load; lower racks are tested to handle a 50 lb. load. The racks can come off track if they're overloaded with dishware. If this doesn't help, the next step we recommend is to uninstall and reinstall the lower rack to ensure it's in place on the supports. If the issue continues, we recommend scheduling service with our Bodewell team by calling 1-833-426-3393 or online here: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Enjoying many cafe products, especially the dishwasher. Cleaning capacity is great and during the cleaning cycle, the machine is very quiet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great appliance. Internal layout is amazing with 3 racks. Two of which are adjustable. Internal lighting is great and the mobile app is really handy. Very quiet when operating.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does an excellent job . Takes a while to get familiar with the controls . I’m still learning! Appreciate the build quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have only had the dishwasher for a few weeks, but so far it has been great. The dishes come out clean and dry. I like how there is a light on the front of the dishwasher that temps me when the dishwasher is running or completed the cycle. My old dishwasher light was located on the top and we could never see when the dishes were clean when the cycle stopped. It’s also very quiet which is another bonus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best dishwasher we have ever owned! It does an amazing job cleaning the dishes but it is SO quiet we don't realize it is running. Fantastic product, highly recommend!!!
