G.E. Potscrubber advice...Motor change out

[volsboy1]

My brothers dishwasher's motor is going out.Its a midline G.E. machine made in 86 or so.It has the overhead rinse on it he told me that much, they just bought the house and I have'nt seen it yet.I was wondering are the newer motors out that they have that kit is it less powerful than the black motor that is in it now?My Mamaw had a Magic chief circa 85 and it was a killer dishwasher even though it has that pop up tower on it.I love thoese washers that big metal wash arm and its still running fine.I was wondering should I look for a rebuilt black motor or go for the newer one.Is the black sidewinder more powerful than that new 1.8 Amp one out now?G.E. dishwashers are good I think they an't no K.A. but they do wash..

GE

I have had alot of Dishwashers and GE has to be the worst one I have ever owned!

Try a Frigidare if you think the Ge's are bad..G.E. dishwashers are not all that bad thats the truth.They are NOOO Kitchenaid(OLD Kitchenaids)but the Trinton dishwashers I have used were very quite and washed good.I am just wondering if there was a power differnce between the old black motors and the new ones.

Dishwashers

I have never had a frigidare but i had its sister the tappen, not bad for the money and still better than any GE i have ever owned. I just dont get why they fill and drain so many times. Whirlpool,kenmore,maytag,kitchenaid not even my Tappen did this fill drain thing so many times. My best friend works for Sears and he said that they repair more GE washers dryers and dishwashers than any other brand.Frigidare was next! Ge is good for cooking or keeping it cold!
