Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for C4 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch Start and then Cancel/Reset to clear the display.
Tap the float cover — the small upturned cup at the front left of the tub floor — so a stuck float can drop free.
Check the sump area at the back of the tub floor for debris, then book a visit if C4 appears again.
Still there?
It usually turns into fill and water valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
Do not pry the float cover off with a screwdriver. A light tap is all GE suggests, and a cracked cover lets the float jam for good.
