Affected model seriesmodern dishwasher F-code service family
Quick answer
Diverter feedback error.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so F35 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Diverter feedback error.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
Spray action may be reduced or sent to the wrong circuit.
The dishwasher may stop when it cannot confirm diverter position.
The fault may recur at the same wash stage.
Washing performance may change even though fill and drain still work.
Why it happens
Possible causes
A feedback sensor or switch that does not confirm position.
A diverter mechanism that is jammed or not reaching its commanded position.
An inverter/main-control problem after the diverter mechanism is checked.
A diverter motor/actuator fault.
A loose harness connection in the diverter circuit.
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Make sure the filter/sump area is free of user-removable debris before assuming the diverter itself has failed.
Use one normal restart and note the exact wash stage when the fault returns.
Do not force internal diverter parts through the sump opening.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
