GE Dishwasher Repair – EAST SPARTA, OH (GDT695SSJ5SS)

A GE dishwasher on Battlesburg Street SE in East Sparta wasn’t heating the water during wash cycles. Our diagnostic revealed the unit needs both a heater and TCO (thermal cutoff) replacement to restore proper heating function.

The Problem

The customer reported their GE dishwasher was not heating. This meant dishes weren’t getting properly cleaned since the water temperature remained cold throughout the wash cycle.

Diagnosis

Testing the heating system revealed that both the heating element and the thermal cutoff (TCO) had failed. When heating elements fail, they often take the thermal safety cutoff with them, which is exactly what happened here.

The Repair

• Parts needed: Heater and TCO replacement required
• Work performed: Diagnostic complete, parts ordered for installation
• Status: Customer approved repair estimate for component replacement
