Household Hints & Help

In that case, the ProWash cycle might always run the full duration. So that would be a reason to use the normal cycle.

I sort of had that issue with the old dishwasher. The GE would do one or two extra prerinse cycles based on the clean sensor, and those would sometimes run despite small loads of prerinsed dishes. Sometimes, not always.

You also might not care about getting the maximum cleaning and want to limit the cycle to the two hours for whatever reason.

So maybe we've answered it.
