20 Most Recent GE Nautilus 24" Built-in Dishwasher Questions & Answers

I'm pretty sure the "air hose" is the drain hose from the dishwasher and is supposed to empty in the garbage disposal. Garbage disposals are made for this optional hook up with a plug you have to knock out and remove from the inside of the disposal. If you run the dishwater with the hose not connected to disposal it has to be going somewhere!

Cleaning screens is part of regular use of the dishwasher and how to should be included in the user guide. If you don't have one look for it on the internet by searching for user manual for your model number which can be usually found on the side of the door or frame where the door closes. Good luck.

A dishwasher will never drain all the way. It is designed to hold water as to not let the pump run dry and keeps the seals preserved.

the fill solonoid , located within inches of water hook up fitting has a bad connection on the coil or has failed.

I've experienced the same thing. Try very slowly rotating timer dial, click by click, until the water starts. Sometimes 3 or 4 clicks will start water. (You're advancing the clock.) Usually water starts in before the dial points to, "Short Wash." If this doesn't work, advance the dial to, "Off," unlock and open the door, reset, close, the soap dispenser, close and lock the door, and slowly advance the dial until the unit starts. I think this problem is a clock to pump issue and what I've described does a reset of the system. This happens to me once or twice per month. Poor engineering but still better than buying a new machine...at least 'till now.
