2005 GE Nautilus dishwasher

[gelaundry4ever]

Seriously?

John, seriously? So you're telling me that anything Whirlpool is superior? I don't think so. I think Speed Queen is superior to anybody else. If Speed Queen built dishwashers, it will have a real pump and motor system and a hidden heating element and heated fan drying.
So tell me, what wash pumps do today's GE builder-grade dishwashers use? They sure sound like wet magnetic motors to me.

directional wet rotor PM wash motor.

do not recall what brand,but i salvaged a wet rotor wash pump at the dump and it had electronic circutry to make the motor run same direction every time and a directional impeller and volute was used.

@cfz: I'd rather deal with the inefficiencies of a directionless wet rotor or a shaded pole motor in any dishwasher than the complexity that comes with electronic ones. Let alone a short life brush motor.

 

Unfortunately John used that point to say I would be applying unaltered Hanny drain pumps to dishwashers, those specific pumps aren't even designed to run continuously let alone handle 185*F water continuously- twisting my post in front of 5 blocked members further driving John's divide and conquer strategy.

 

@GELAundry, If Speed Queen made dishwashers they would be like the Whirlpool power cleans with a self cleaning fine filter, vetical mechanism and 1/3 HP relay start motor. That design takes up space and makes noise, unfortunately not many customers would buy that already preferring tall-tubs.

chetleham: Here's some who's blocking you because of your lack of respect for other members!

Speed Queen Tall Tub

If there were Speed Queen Tall Tub dishwashers, the sump would be deep and the pump intake would be in the very bottom so no matter how much water is in the machine, there would be little to no cavitation even if the tub floor isn't completely covered in water. Ideally, the perfect water level would be above the disposal cover. It would be nice if Speed Queen Tall Tubs could have a foot of water filling the entire basin of the dishwasher for maximum constant pressure to spray down the dishes and door with massive walls of water with massive spray arms full of jets. That would be the ideal tall tub dishwasher.

@luxflairguy: Nicely asking a bully to stop bullying isn't a lack of respect. Calling out a bully isn't a lack of respect either.  

 

 

If you want to be one on the wrong side of history justifying John's behavior have at it.

 

[gelaundry4ever]

I agree with Chetlaham.

I agree with you Chetlaham. If you don't confront the bully or report him or her, he or she will continue.

Here we go again....

....the same gangster members intent on conquer and divide tactics with their schoolgirl taunts of vile and toxic hate. For what????I would suggest that each of us as members takes a moment to read POST #845122 along with Topics & Rules and re-familiar ourselves with the doctrines and purpose of the AutomaticWasher.Org website before our webmaster makes a clean sweep of the troublemakers and suspends or better yet bans the accounts of offending members.

it works

placed on a pallet and running a test wash-so far no trouble awakening from 19yr slumber other than insulating blanket crumbled and fell apart at slightest touch...Machine runs with a thrumming vibration from a pump that is not perfectly balanced and sounds like quite active water action inside.

dishwasher pump noise

My grandma has a vacation house in Florida where she has a GE dishwasher. When the water pours into the machine, you could hear the pump vibrating as it tries to recirculate the wash water.

 

[egress]

never have I ever used a dishwasher that was so noisy and yet couldn't keep stuff on the top rack clean... I think the weird spray tower design was to blame, 4 holes on the perimeter with a 5th on top... what were they thinking!?!?!?

and again with the bickering. Does this site have moderation?

 

[cfz2882]

washing results...

...are a little bit meh so far on crudded on grease and nasty pet bowls-pretty sure the cause is too-low water temp:cold fill,missing insulation blanket,and running under shade tree results in luke-warm wash water...Easier soils cleaned up nice.GE detractors will like that the lower rack has already started to rust-at the top of a couple tines where the vinyl coating is very thin.Back to too-cool water problem,do not know watts of the heater,but FL amps on this machine 6.1 IIRC-may hook up ammeter to see when the heater is active.

GE model

I believe my dad has the gdf510pgrww.

Ohh look. Another Lazarus thread

back in storage...

i placed this machine back in storage because of the meh wash performance that was mostly because missing insulation blanket and lower wattage heater could not keep water hot and yibs not filtered.So simple it is probably reliable though.

I noticed on the latest models of these roughly 2022, the motor did have a fan sound along with the ball bearings. It kinda had a soft brush whirr sound.
