John's dribble
Don't mind John's insatiable desire to force his opinions on you and everyone else on this site, Jerome.
Now he is telling you what you did and didn't hear. It's the same old story, John is jealous of GE tower wash dishwashers and Maytag Reverse racks as many if not consider them superior to Whirlpool dishwashers. Yes, in many years they have even been ranked higher than Whirlpool, in Consumer Reports Ratings. GE and Whirlpool almost always vied for the highest ranks in reliability.
Most of us on this site have the intellect to know that Whirlpool, Maytag and General electric all produced very fine dishwashers. they all wash dishes well and they all had fine repair records.
John demonstrates the emotional maturation level of a three to four year old child, in many respects. He has to think he is right, and he wants everyone to believe that he is the ultimate of opinions on this site.
John has a selective memory that only remembers things that agree with his internal biases. Especially when it comes to Whirlpool. Anytime he can attack Whirlpool's competitors, or those on this site who have differing opinion, than he, should get ready for an attack. Just like a small spoiled child who reaches out in anger when he doesn't get his way.
Lefever's selective memory, his ability to generalize and exaggerate out of reality, coupled with his outright lies, are legendary on this site. His disrespectful treatment of other members who disagree with him are legendary, as well. John reacts as a child when his lies and exaggerations are attacked, or even questioned for that matter.
GE's motors are the heart of the dishwasher, and you don't get consistently high reliability ratings in consumer Report, for decades, by having a faulty motor. I have used and/or collected GE dishwashers for slightly over fifty years, straight. Never once did I have a motor failure. Not once.
I did recently have a bearing, in one of GE's newer Siemens fixed capacitor motors get noisy. That was the only motor issue I ever had. Period.
The older induction motors were not noisy, not by most normal people's standards. Because a motor is audible does not make it noisy. Although "noisy" is a qualitative term meaning different things to different people. We have talked about the sound of the GE pre-capacitor motors, many times on this sight. It is distinctive. My qualitative feeling is is it is low rhythmic drone, comforting and soothing.
My definition of noisy would be if something inhibits conversation, or interferes with a television in the kitchen, etc. GE's motor noise is background noise. You can easily have a conversation with one someone standing directly in the front of the machine, no auditory competition at all.
John calls it "noisy" as he wants to denigrate virtually anything that is not Whirlpool, and to a lesser degree Hobart/Kitchen-Aid made.
Just take Joh with a grain of salt. He is becoming a laughing stock of this site, with his child-like behavior. However, there is nothing humorous about his disrespect and denigration of our members on this site.
Virtually any site, nowadays, has a few contributors who are psychologically unsound and are present to build their ego and compensate for their emotional insecurities. It's a sad fact of life.
Don't let anyone tell you what you heard, didn't hear or tell you your opinion is right or wrong. It's your opinion and you are entitled to it and allowed to share it without getting told you are wrong by John. He does not run the site, he is not the most intelligent on this site and he certainly does not have the engineering skills of many of the members this site.
We appreciate your comments and your questions, Jerome.
