GE top loaders, why so much hate?

And Oh...

One thing that I want to share/vent on here since I know you guys will get what I am talking about... It was GE and code making panel members who work for GE which put GFCI protection for Dishwashers into the code. The ROPs cited end of life failures and potential fire... So now the NEC basically mandates that we pay to correct poor engineering.

One more positive comment here. We bought our new GE toploader in Jan. 2004 (wife's choice.) It is not a hydrowave. It has been in full service since that time with no repairs whatsoever. It does feel and sound cheaply made but everything has always came out clean. I never expected it to last this long when we bought it! I picked up a matching dryer about 2 years ago and thought for sure that having a matching set again would mean certain death for the washer! Now that I've bragged on the service of this washer, it'll probably die tomorrow!
