How to Close a GE Dishwasher

Completing a few tasks prepares a General Electric (GE) dishwasher for its wash cycle. The tasks include putting automatic dishwasher detergent in the soap dispenser on the dishwasher's door and then latching the soap dispenser's door closed securely. Additionally, it is important to lock the dishwasher door closed. The door latch assembly has sensors that detect the door's position, and they prevent the dishwasher from operating when the door is open.
