John - TEN YEARS - in today's world of new and bright appliances, that doesn't sound so bad, but amidst the other dishwashers in its age group, ten years isn't a happy number.
I'd have been elated to get ten decent years out of all the tol GE products installed in our last new home...ten years without board replacement, intermittent refrigerator problems (it's now just cycling on and off now, and no longer cooling.... but it lasted a woo-hoo six years. Seeing the old GE stuff here, searching CL, I'm glad to see some of the older GE appliances still gleaming, but surprised they never(?) had a competitively durable dishwasher.
Thanks!
