Apples to oranges. Late 90s early 2000s Pot-scrubbers have nothing to do with this dishwasher. Those machines were pure trash in ever sense of the word. They had zero fine filtration, greatly reduced water charge, fewer water change outs on the normal cycle, a static wash arm with only a few large holes placed mostly near the tips and a spray arm hub that limited the GPM to compensate for the reduced fills. These were simply builder and landlord machines trying to meet energy requirements on top of that.
Longevity was horrible too- 1980s perma-tuff GE's easily lasted over 30 years, the ones from the late 90s/00s would either lose the timer, pump seal or solenoid shaft seal in 5 to 10. Can't tell you how many (really ever single one) of those I've seen in the scrap pile with the drain solenoid bracket absolutely rusted or calcified beyond recognition.

And unlike the 90s drama, the timers, heater and other parts kept running well past the expiration date. I am grateful you decided to keep your Potsrubber running. I'd give anything for GE to make a 2017 version of this machine.
