C1 - The drain pump has been running continuously for more than 2 minutes without the water level dropping as expected. The dishwasher has stopped the pump to prevent motor burnout.
C2 - The cumulative pump-out time across the entire wash cycle has exceeded 7 minutes. This indicates a persistent drainage restriction that is causing repeated drain attempts without fully clearing the tub.
C3 - GE dishwasher error C3 usually means the machine did not drain water from the tub during the normal drain phase.
C4 - After a power interruption, the dishwasher filled twice without completing a drain. This indicates either the float switch (overflow protection) is stuck in the raised position, or a blocked drain is preventing water from clearing between fills.
