P.O.D. 5/10/2015 GE Dishwasher

[toploader55]

Although this was a turning point for GE right after they dumped the Princess and Empress Impeller design, I always found these pics of these machines with those Plates in the top rack quite obvious that there is no way you could get the clearance on the top of the tub for that top rack to slide in. Even if you pitched them forward, I don't think they could stand a chance of sliding in. Especially that this was years before GE designed an adjustable upper rack.

 

We had a top load Portable with the "Silver Shower".  And althought they touted the Handles up feature, it always did a crappy job washing silverware due to nesting and just not enough spray surface exposed.

 

And if I recall, these machines were one of the most Yibble producing machines of all times.

 

I always wanted to see the "Forbidden Cycle of all those spray jets in action. But my imagination only led me to believe that it was very sloshy and not scrubby.

Speaking of sloshy

Eddie, I remember those Kenmore dishwashers with the plastic fronts where you could see the water lazily gush up the front of the tank, not spray hard like in the KA or Maytag plastic tank demo machines.

I never saw a GE demo machine after the bow tie impeller machine with the plastic observation dome (like on train cars) at the state fair. I don't think the wash arm GE was sloshy because those water jets would break glasses if they were put in the lower rack. They sprayed hard, but not too effectively and, of course, filtered nothing out of the water.

" Break Glasses in the Lower Rack".

 

Yes, Tom.  That is true.  But I put my Riedel Wine Glasses in the Lower Rack of my One Armed Wonders and they have yet to break a glass.

 

I remember my Grandmother putting my Grandfather's Pilsner Glass in the Lower Rack of her BOL GE. It had just the Lower Wash Arm and the Tower.  No Power Shower. At the end of the cycle, all that was left was the foot of the glass.
