Christmas gift That was a very nice and thoughtful Christmas gift for your parents, Lawrence! I am sure they appreciated it. My favorite Christmas gifts were always the practical and useful ones. You can't get much more practical and useful than a dishwasher.

motor GE changed over to the permanent capacitor motors in the mid-nineties. They were the first U.S. dishwasher manufacturer to do so. When Haier purchased GE Appliances, in June 2016, they were still using the same motor/pump combination. If anything has changed since that time, motor-wise...

tall tubs You are correct, Jerome. All that Haier produces now are "tall tub" machines with dual wash arms.

In light of John Lefever's statements that the GE tower-wash system didn't wash in the corners of the upper racks, here is another test run. John's first statement was that the tower wash couldn't clean objects in the corners. Then after I pointed out that this defect has never been noticed by...

GSD1200 Here is the link I mentioned above, Mark. Absolutely agree, the tower wash dishwashers and the upper rack wash arm dishwashers each bring something to the table. I have had many of each, and both are capable of equally clean dishes, with random loading.[this post was last edited...

vent pad Hello Mark, Attached is a picture of GE's Vent Pad for your dishwasher. The GE model number is WD1X1467. They are easy to find. Sears Parts Direct has them for about 7 dollars, however that does not include shipping. You may find one for less on Ebay or another appliance part...

mount Anaheim did not improve the mount, in the latter run of the series General Electric put the same mount on the series units as they did on the induction models. I suggest, John, you research something before you speak of it. Anaheim only continued what GE had last used. As far as "not...

thank you, Mark Thank you Mark for your kind offer! I have some original GE series units, so I will let you pass yours on to someone on this sight who may need it. Thanks for thinking of me though, much appreciated. Agreed, the KA is one fine disposal. Yes, once in a great while I will hear...

GE Thought you didn't look at my posts anymore, John. That was your quote and another typical lie by John. Members of this site certainly don't need your biased opinion before making a purchase, they are buying an item because it is historical and it has meaning to them. You can provide...

GE portable No one asked for John's negativity, his review, or his bias. That seems to be the way he can build his ego. This is a nice GE dishwasher and I hope someone on our site is able to procure it.[this post was last edited: 6/21/2024-16:28]

addendum Mark, in my post above explaining the tightening of the support bolts, I wanted to mention to not over tighten. Hobart used only two support bolts where most manufacturers used three. It you overtighten the bolts, you can slightly bend the support plate into a u-shaped configuration...

tightening of disposer Yes, Mark, those two support bolts must be tightened against the sink flange for the very reasons you stated. They compress the seal, to make it waterproof, and they stabilize the disposer against the snap ring so it becomes imobile. Take your fingers and raise each...

amperage I checked on one of my actual GE series-wound disposals and it is rated at 5.2 amps. The Anaheim unit is lighter in weight and has a smaller motor (even though technically they are both rated at 1/2 hp.) Your unit has less thermal mass so it will get hotter more quickly, explaining...

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...

John's issues Poor John, your response indicates your lack of emotional maturation. I am sorry, I'm trying not to laugh at you. You are disruptive member of this community, your goal is to control others as you you perfectly stated in your comment that you had contacted Robert and that you...

John's opions Sorry you feel threatened and have your self-worth diminished when others respond to your negativity, John. It is your own actions of disrespect to site members that are being reflected back to you. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, it is not the mirror's fault, it...
