Cracking the Code: Troubleshooting and Fixing E8 Error on Your GE Dishwasher (2023 Update)

Hello there, homeowner! I understand that your GE dishwasher is flashing an E8 error code and you're wondering what it means and how to fix it. Don't worry, we've got you covered. Let's get started!

The E8 error code on your GE dishwasher means there's a problem with the water inlet valve. This valve controls the flow of water into your dishwasher, so if it's not working properly, your dishwasher won't be able to clean your dishes effectively.

Here are the steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

Check the Water Supply: First, make sure the water supply to your dishwasher is turned on and the water pressure is adequate. If the water supply is turned off or the pressure is too low, it can cause the E8 error.

Inspect the Inlet Valve: If the water supply is not the issue, inspect the inlet valve for any visible damage or loose connections. Make sure the valve is receiving power by testing it with a multimeter. If the valve is not receiving power, it may need to be replaced.
Test the Valve: If the valve is receiving power, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the valve is not allowing water to flow through it, it may be faulty and need to be replaced.
Replace the Valve: If the inlet valve is faulty, you can replace it with a new one. Make sure to turn off the power supply to the dishwasher and consult your user manual before starting any repairs. Check your dishwasher's model number to ensure you're purchasing the right replacement part.

Here are the tools you'll need for the above steps:
