| linda41971's Full Review: GE Built-In Dishwashers |
I would never, ever, ever (is that strong enough?) buy a General Electric product. Our new house came with 5 major appliances made by GE, and within the first year all had needed major service. By the end of the second year, they were all totally broken.
This is the dishwasher's story. We have hard water, so the dishwasher never really got the dishes clean unless you almost washed them totally clean before you started. Ok, I thought, they are still getting disinfected.Monthly I had to clean out the trap in the bottom or it would get plugged up and I'd have a mess.
This dishwasher had a neat feature - a timer. You could set it to run in the middle of the night so that you wouldn't have to listen to it. This was great because when the dishwasher was running, you could not hold a conversation in the same room. After about 6 months, the timer went out, so it got stuck in the dry cycle in the middle of the night. I couldn't figure out what smelled burned in the morning until I heard the dishwasher cycling on and off repeatedly. The burnt smell was the plastic items that were melted all over the inside of the dishwasher. I called GE, and of course this was off the warranty, but they replaced the timer for a charge of over a hundred dollars. Six months later, it blew the timer again. At that time we decided to get a new dishwasher, made by any company but GE.
The features of this dishwasher include:
automatic timer
potscrubber and normal wash cycles
water saver cycle
energy saver cycle - air dry the dishes
wash heat boost
Coupled with all our other problems with this company and their poor customer service, I would stay as far away as possible from anything made by them.
