    wattage What is the amperage rating on your Anaheim/GE unit, Mark? Anaheim reduced it from the original GE design, I can't, recall my Anaheim/GE's current draw. It seems it was 4.8 or 4.9 amps. Near the end of the run, of the Anaheim/GE units, they did offer a 3/4 horsepower and a 1 HP...

    flange Hi Mark. Are you using the highest tab (one closest to the sink)? On stainless sinks I find the mounting plate is very difficult to get started on the highest tab in the flange. Using the next lower tab will cause the the condition where you have the flange too loose, just as you...

    longevity My personal experience with a pre-Anaheim Waste King, Dan, is very limited. I only had one, purchased very shortly before Waste King sold out. I had their top on the line unit, and after only a couple of months the starting winding went out. It was replaced under warranty. I...

    congratulations Congratulations, Mark in receiving your two disposers! Both are good, each in their own respective ways. The Hobart design was built with very heavy components and carried a premium price in it's day. Yes, the snap mount on the KA can be a bit tricky. To get the sink flange...

    "disposall" I saw the Anaheim version of GE's series unit was no longer listed. Hope you got it, Mark. It will give you a reasonable facsimile of the true GE-built series-wound disposal. It is a little bit lighter in mass and draws less current, but will do well for you. Even Anaheim's...

    GE 2800 Dishwasher Repair Help (Twenty-Eight Hundred)

    swapping control panels Shannon, It wouldn't be possible to put the control panel of a 2800 on a 1200. Your 2800 will be expecting data from sensors you do not have on your machine. You do not have the detergent cup sensor, washarm magnetic sensor, temperature sensor, etc., so it will give...

    the stupid and the Maytag jet clean dishwasher

    racks At the very least, I would open the dishwasher door and let any remaining moisture escape at the end of a cycle. Letting racks sit in the moisture laden environment any longer than they have to be, would only accelerate potential rust in small hairline cracks/imperfections in the rack's...

    sound insulation Hi Rich, Yes! There are many modifications that one can do to quiet a noisy dishwasher, regardless of brand. First, I often use a vinyl or asphaltic sound dampener. They are peel and stick sheets, primarily used for automobiles, to quiet down resonances. Manufacturers...

    nosiest dishwashers John always has to put in about the GE motor, ha. GR produced one of the most reliable dishwashers on the market. In some years in CU tests, it was the THE most reliable. You don't get that type of rating if the heart of the dishwasher washer, the motor, is deficient. GE...

    through-the-sink The Whirlpool through-the-sink disposal was an original concept from Whirlpool designed to attract builders/plumbers for it's ease of installation, and little else. One just dropped it through the sink opening, locked it down and did the hook-ups. My 1979/1980 built apartment...

    The Longest Lasting And Most Durable Dishwasher Pump And Motor Ever Made

    what's in a sound? The sound of the GE dishwashers, with the pre-PSC has come up several times on this site. Many, including myself, like the purring rhythmic sound produced by the GE's. Comforting and familiar. The motor is one of the reasons that General Electric dishwashers had such a...
