      You have to download the GE laundry app. I don’t remember what it’s called, I used it in the beginning but the novelty wore off. There are credentials inside of the door of the washer and dryer you have to enter in to connect your machines to the app as well. Hopefully you can figure out the actual app name.

      I bet a new humidistat would be available on Amazon, eBay etc. I try to reuse parts from broken machines before I buy anything new. But I have had luck with fan motors off of Amazon so I’m sure the humidistats are a fine replacement. Just make sure it’s a dial type with the same amount of wires. Good luck.

    IF NO WASH BUT FILLS AND DRAINS….DO THIS FIRST!!!….get a wet dry vacuum. Take out 2 upper rack stops. Take out the lower rack. Take out the screw in inside back of tub holding on water supply tube and remove….the rspray arm should twist and pop out along with the mesh screen and cylinder strainer thing….get an dish cloth and manually pour a couple quarts of water in the dishwasher…then…place the dish cloth around where the base of the spray arm sat to allow the vacuumed to reallly suck out any crap that might be stuck in there…my experience is that the little tiny pump does not humm when it’s clogged and the strainers that is built into the dishwasher really does not perform good…we are conscious about not putting stuff that could clog it but that is our experience after about 8 months of use…here, I thought the relay or fuse stuck on the card…or the pump motor went bad…not the case…a simple clog in the impeller of the pump🌈😃🤙

SOLUTION: Find the WARM RINSE and AUTO SOAK buttons. Press both for three seconds. There is a hint on the fascia with an asterisk that looks like this: "*3 seconds."

My tap water is extremely hot I get away with using the one hour was even on pots and pans. Just make sure you keep the filters in the bottom clean and be sure to remove the sprayer wands and rinse them and inspect for junk being caught.
