MattL - clever! Here's a thought! Because we're talking about an area of the house which frequently has 240/40Amp (or 50Amp), you don't have to cope with the anemic 1500 Watt limitations (80% of circuit) which otherwise plague the outdated 120V/15Amp American recepticle.   Go to it! Oh, and...

Thomas, I find the idea intriguing. I had the opportunity to use one of those Candy hob, oven, dishwasher combi-units many years ago for six weeks. It worked very well for me. Had it had a microwave integrated into the oven, it would have been even better. I am shocked by the number of...

For cleaning and flexibility the Potscrubber 1130 Seems to be the sweet-spot of all of ours. The multi-orbital arm, the big filter in the back, the time delay, the extra-extra program 'Potscrubber'.... It's perfect. I like to begin with 'water-saver' for an extended pre-rinse (it just turns...

Water is key I think it was Laundress who pointed out that the large amount of water these dishwashers used had a lot to do with their outstanding cleaning ability. Given that they still used far less than washing the dishes equally well by hand, customers felt they were saving water and...

How Long did they make the Potscrubber? Our local Home Depot is still selling the last descendants. Lot's of parts are interchangeable. Basically, here's what happened. The original Potscrubber worked great, but was loud and plastic. GE 'updated' it to Potscrubber II, which was still loud and...

John, Our Potscrubbers with the orbital arm on the most intensive cycle out clean every modern dishwasher any of our friends have. Especially when you take into consideration that I absolutely refuse to pre-rinse and only remove bones and olive pits. Yes, we have 145F water and, yes, it's...

Yes, under the arm The bottom arm lifts straight up and off. You can access them then.

Properly loaded ( a pain, to be sure) should be better Any KA, including this beauty should was much better than modern dishwasher. Have you had a chance to make sure the filters are clean (careful for broken glass!)? Make sure the arm is free to rotate when filled? Not overdone the...

That squeal was Almost certainly the Teflon bearing or seal under the arm.

GE used a reed switch In some GSD2800 sensors.* It can be replaced with a generic one, such as Technics used in their 1980s/90s cassette decks. But - it's more likely that was, indeed, your magnet. Can you post some pics? We might be able to point to the part of the arm you unscrew. *Some had...

That KA is pretty It seems the most aesthetically appealing.

Loading and Washing Matter I've dealt with a KA one-arm dishwasher in regular use for over 15 years - so I know whereof I speak when I say: I like KA, but here's the facts: Loading in a One-Arm KA: Non-intuitive, takes many, many, many cycles of unwashed dishes to master. Ultmately, about 1/4...

A few answers Home depot and Menards both sell dishwasher hookup kits with 'universal' adapters. UPC Code #820633958697 That might meet your needs. The top sprayer is always a bit out of perpendicular, if it spins freely, it's ok. Plastisol...not one of GE's best ideas. Laundress has posted...

A pot scrubber with the eccentric arm Either version.

Glenn, that's the difference Those pawls. Thanks for the clear photos.

Thomas, I love Flair Ranges. We use one of them as a daily driver half-of-the-year. I think their design and general build quality is wonderful. They are repairable. This doesn't change the fact that their ovens had and have awful temperature swings. Something I am inclined to forgive in a...

Congratulations! Nothing washes as clean as a Thumper. Nothing. I'm very happy for you.

Opinions, like a certain body party - everyone has one Anyone defending 2018 Speed Queen Top Loaders is ignoring hard facts. Even Speed Queen - after losing many dealers and firing some of their best dealers for telling them the truth - finally backed down and 'enhanced' their design. Nobody...

I'm always glad to hear from the Whirlpool experts Although we have several - belt drive and DD (not the electronic sh*t), I've yet to have a neutral drain fail - despite the fact that one Kenmore has always drained half down and then started it's spin and another goes all the way to no water...

Neutral drain, Speed Queen after 2017 First off, by now we all know that Speed Queen ended their quality programmes in 2017 and, every since, have built trash. Anything, including a plastic WWI 'Frigidaire' with the Franklin transmission is going to be better quality.   As to neutral drain...
