What is the Rinse cycle used for?
This short program rinses food residue from dishes when you are not ready to run a full wash.
It uses one or more rinses without performing the complete detergent wash and drying sequence. It is a holding cycle rather than a substitute for washing.
Choose another cycle for: Dishes that need detergent cleaning or sanitizing before use.
What this means for your load
Short rinse for a partial load that will be washed later. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: The duration is usually stable, although fill and drain conditions can cause small differences.
Check the full GE PDT145SSLSS cycle table to compare other programs before starting.
When will it finish?
This variable program depends on the stored cycle, options or sensed load. Use the appliance's current displayed estimate.
Estimated energy and local cost
This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
Planning the Rinse cycle on the PDT145SSLSS
Utility cycles handle a narrower job than a full wash or dry program. Their duration still depends on options, balancing, draining and sensor decisions.
On the GE PDT145SSLSS, watch for incoming water temperature, soil sensing, heat holds and drying options. Run hot water at the sink first when the manual recommends it, and avoid blocking spray paths.
The planning range on this page is 0.08–0.3 kWh; use the ZIP or bill-rate calculator for a local cost estimate. The exact-model reference is linked from products.geappliances.com, while estimates are labeled separately.
