Decided it could be 1 of 3 things. Fuse on main circuit board that controls hot water. Main control board or drain pump failure. Was not able to find out how to do diagnostics on this unit as there is no "cycle control" feature and this is a top of the line unit. Replaced the fuse and dishwasher failed.

You can go on line and find videos on removing the circuit board for GE dishwashers. This can be done without pulling the dishwasher out. Remove the lower black dust panel and insulation. Remove cover to electrical box - 1 screw and remove. Remove 2 to 4 screw on a sheet metal bracket that holds the circuit board. Notice where 2 metal hangers are located if you remove 4 screws on the left and right side of machine as they drop out. Remove black corded door sensor under circuit board. Work the sheet metal back and forth to remove from dish washer so that circuit board is exposed. Remove circuit board connectors and pull out unit to install new circuit board. Some have one screw and some have only plastic retainers. Re-install. I did not need the drain pump and the circuit board comes with a control board fuse. Washer was only 14 months old and 2 months out of warranty.

I ordered the part from the website at 1/2 the price that the other place charges and found it on line. With the step by step instructions and the online page, I successfully installed it MYSELF. Saved me a ton of $$.
I LOVE the website
Thank You!!!!
