The original PotScrubber came out around 1973-1974. A friend of the family's got married in a house near Clear Lake, beautiful house, and it had an original PotScrubber and this was about 1975 or 1976. A friend of my neighbor lived in Champion Forrest, this was about 1983 or 1984 at latest, their machine had PotScrubber III on the panel. As far as what the Potscrubber did, the main wash lasts anywhere from 38 to 47 minutes and water is heated hotter than the Normal cycle, whose main wash is only about 29-33 minutes. And yes, it does SCRUB!! My 1987 is still knocking the sox off everything I throw at it.

Thanks for the correction I knew it was somewhere in that timeframe. It's hell getting old! So we can guesstimate that the DW in question was built from 1975-1982 or so? BTW. I live right around the corner from Champions Forest! | ||

There were some interesting differences as I recall between Canadian GE and US GE dishwashers in the 80s--they continued making GE steel (plastisol coated) dishwashers (in a Canada plant, I guess) after they converted the US to the plastic-tub (Louisville) design.The Hotpoint (porcelain/steel)design made in Milwaukee or Chicago changed later when they closed that plant.

SS Interior on a GE Hi Guys, We had a GE Potscrubber from the mid 70's, but it had a fully SS interior. It sounded like a tank running. Were the US machines ever SS in GE? Regards Nathan | ||

For the most-part SS DW-ers are a "new" thing here. Some of the newer GEs are now SS! As are other brands, of course. (Someone is going to disagree..I FEEL it.. ) LOL Plastque tubs work fine but become stained (tomato sauce, coffee, etc) and they say the trick is a non-heated dry to avoid that. There are now product sold with benzoil peroxide to bleach one's plastic containers. Works well on the plastic DW tub, too. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK | ||

Greg told me about the Crystal Shine a year ago and I go some when I was there. I love that stuff it takes out the stains in the plastics and yet it is not over powering. Terry | ||

Andrew, I kept waiting for you to chime in on this. I almost emailed you to alert you, we needed your expertise. One of my college fraternity brothers parents' house had one just like you're describing exactly. I saw this about 1978 or 1979 at the latest. When I saw this style of GE, I so longingly hoped this was the new interior style that was gonna stay. I loved the loading flexibility and the silverware basket was more toward the left front corner. Such wide open space. In my opinion, was the best GE ever. But much to my dismay & disappointment, they reverted back to the tower style with the PS III. darn. Thank goodness the new tall tubs so strongly resemble the interior of the PS II. Bob
