GE Undersink Dishwasher

Ken, you are correct!  At the same time GE also introduced a companion High-Speed dryer that required the builder/installer to provide a field-installed top (maybe a top was optional with the dealer).  There was no console and the controls were concealed behind the dryer door.  Excepting the console, the dryer looked identical to all of the other GE dryers.

and the dryer control was flat like a telephone dial. I wonder if they had to pay a royalty to WP for that set up.

Hmmm, 30 to 40 mins for De-Wrinkle.

@pulltostart- Thanks!

Its just so cozy!

I'm not going to lie, I kind of like it as well. I love the through the wall vent, and thinking about the wiring in the 80s GE range. And a door to the back common hallway where friends can pop by.

When my home was built in 1968 it had an undersink GE dishwasher.  I have since remodeled and no longer have one, but many people still do in my neighborhood.  It really did save cabinet space and that is what it was really good at.  They are very pricey and not many bells and whistles.

While I like the 70s retro decor, can you imagine functioning in this kitchen?

Can you imagine trying to get under that sink for.... anything? but especially to make a repair?
Trying to load that dishwasher while trying to get dishes out of the sink? There is like 10" between the dishwasher door and the parallel cabinet.

GE under sink dishwasher

Reply number 35, I guess if you’re obese that kitchen may not work but I certainly wouldn’t have any trouble working in it.

I just put a brand-new pump and motor assembly in this under sink GE dishwasher last week took less than 30 minutes did not have to move the machine just laid on the floor in but the motor in.

Kitchen in #35

As a household of one, I love it.  I love efficiency and efficiency would be required in a space like this.  While it's almost vintage, it is missing one modern convenience - a microwave (I hate microwaves for that very reason, they just didn't exist way back then and there's no way to make them look right in a vintage kitchen).   In the past, I've hidden my microwaves in the pantry and liked that solution.

 

One inaccuracy about this kitchen; the Mark 27 range is not original it appears.  The hood is probably original and it includes the pushbuttons for the drop-in range.  The replacement is newer (P-7) and includes it's own pusbbuttons across the top of the backsplash.  It's the kind of uh-oh that you might find on a movie set.

Good eye on that. The awkward dishwasher isn't the only thing here, that stove is mismatched with the hood.
They look like they are similar age.

GE's website is now showing all these models NLA; you can't even get them to come up except if you do a search for "undersink dishwasher":

Discontinued

It looks like GE's under-sink DW has been discontinued.

I wonder if some of the old-timers at GE back in the day remembered their electric sink designs from the '20s and 30s and thought this would be a good idea to try again.

Tell me more about the utility sink top washer, I’m very much interested in that
