For help connecting your dishwasher: Dishwasher - Set-Up Built-In WiFi

If you have difficulty with the set-up process when connecting your Built-In WiFi dishwasher to your WiFi:

Wrong Password

  • You may have entered the wrong appliance network password. Re-enter the password found on the dishwasher display. HINT:  Press and hold the "Wash Temp" and "Power Dry" pads on the dishwasher control for 3 seconds until the display shows "Ready to Connect" and then push the Start pad. The display will then show the network name and password.
  • If the password is correct and the SmartHQ™ App will not connect, call the Connected Home Support Line at 1-800-220-6899, Monday -Friday 9am - 11pm ET, Saturday - Sunday 9am - 3pm ET, or email [email protected].

Communication Failed

  • You may have entered the wrong password or chosen the wrong home network. Verify you have entered the home WiFi network password correctly.
  • HINT: To check if the issue is with the password or the SmartHQ App, disconnect the phone or other device from your home WiFi network and reconnect by entering your home network password manually.  If the password is correct and the SmartHQ App will not connect, call the Connected Home Support Line at 1-800-220-6899, Monday -Friday 9am - 11pm ET, Saturday - Sunday 9am - 3pm ET, or email [email protected].

App Cannot Locate the Home Network

  • If you do not see your home network in the list of WiFi networks, your home network may be hidden. Chose the "Other" option and enter your network name and password yourself.
  • If the SmartHQ App still cannot locate your home network, move the router closer to the appliance or purchase a WiFi extender.

Connection Failed

  • Wireless Icon on Dishwasher Control is Solid: The SmartHQ App is unable to locate the appliance in the GE Appliances Cloud.  Close the SmartHQ App and reopen it to resolve the issue.
  • No Wireless Icon on Dishwasher Control: Password or home network is incorrect.  Re-enter the home network name and password.
