How to Lock the Detergent Cup on a GE Dishwasher
- 1). View the control panel on the GE dishwasher and ensure the line on the timer lines up with the “Off” indicator. If it does not, turn the knob until the indicator line lines up with the word “Off.”
- 2). Fill the detergent to the “Full” line. If there is too much detergent inside the cup, the lid may not close properly.
- 3). Turn the cover clockwise until it clicks shut over the cup if you have a “turn-to-close” cup. For a “push-to-close” cup, lift the cover up, fold it over onto the cup, and press it down until it clicks shut.
