Attched is the picture of the GSD2800 found at the Habitant for Humanity ReStore for $25.
Looks to have been used very little and works perfectly. I did do one alteration; however, one things that has always bothered me with GE tower washes is the large amount of carry-over water from one fill to the next.
This coupled with only two rinses in the 2800 versus three final rinses for their other tower wash models gives me concern.
I took out the sump and replaced it with one from a newer profile machine. The new sump has the opening for the separate drain pump. I found another used ge profile with the selective drain pump and installed it.
I don't like the separate drain pump to do the entire draining as it can clog easily. So I have both the main wash motor draining conventionally and the selective drain pump operating simoultaneously, with two separate drain hoses. One to each side of the sink.
Of course things can't be simple, because GE pulse energized the drain solenoid and relied of water pressure to hold open the drain flap after the drain solenoid was energized.
I purchased a double latching relay and hooked one side to the fill solenoid and the other to the drain solenoid. I took a hotline off the motor and ran it through the relay to the drain pump.
When the factory drain solenoid kicks in, the drain pump kicks in and continues to
run until even after the factory drain solenoid has deenergized and the drain diverter flap has closed due to decreased drain water pressure.
The separate drain pump continues until the fill solenoid kicks in. This energizes the other side of the double relay and opens the contacts shutting down the separate drain pump.
The result is almost total emptying of the sump with each drain and no carry over of dirty water from one fill to the next.
This is my fourth GSD2800. They have always cleaned extremely well, but now the shine on the dishes is just unbelievable as the rinsing is even more thorough with the purer water not contaminated by carry-over.
