OK TOM, explain this Why is the filtering system mentioned above in the brochure? why did my GSD1200 have the words located at that location in the tub (like above) self-cleaning filter? I never really had much of an issue. I occassionally heard the choppper chop food, but that was only extremely heavy soil. The filter did catch the food cuz I'd stick my hand into the steram of drain water as it went through the opening in the disposal in the sink. I knew therre was lots of stuff coming off. And by the end of the 3rd water exchange, before the main wash, there was nmroe yibblits comng out of the drain. | ||

I put this machine in my brothers house, found on the side of the road, ran great for four years, and then the "blocked wash arm" alarm kept comming on, and stopped the machine, could never get it to stop doing that, even with the racks and dishes removed, it would sill give you the error code.....replaced with a Bosch, which works great for him...
but what a unique machine just the same | ||

BLOCKED ARM SIGNAL
Some GEs did this as they aged usually the lower wash arm wasn't turning fast enough and needed new bearings and seals. But if you felt the arm was turning all you had to do when the error code appeared was with out opening the door was push start twice and the cycle will complete as this will lock out the blocked arm shut down for the reminder of the cycle. We still have many customers that have to do this on a fairly regular basis with thier electronic GE DWs. These high end models did have a very effective self-cleaning filter, however GE did make some electronic machines that did not the filter system such as the GSD2200s. The 2200 just ground up the food and sprayed it around the machine as all other GE DWs had since the first wash arm machines did since 1962.

Hate to admit this but... My parents had one like this in one of their last apartments and with the PermaTuf Tub the machine was almost as quiet as today's models. Also, and I've said this before in another thread, that upper rack was one of the most capacious and best designed racks I've ever seen, hands down. It was a huge improvement over what GE offered for the previous 15 years. It made the standard lower rack look pathetic and cheap (it was). Ironic how GE never had a lower rack that held more dishes and bowls than the octagonal ones on the pull outs. In fact the TOL pull-outs (and I'm not talking about the Empress) could hold a dinner setting for 15 without a lot of dovetailing and/or jockeying and I don't care what Consumer Reports said.
The detergent dispenser, however, was suck-a-mundo. You couldn't use tablets if you wanted to and it was hard to fill. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Jack Welched in charge.
I agree with Tom, controls for that generation of GE dishwashers were truly lipstick on a pig and were the beginning of the end for those of us who want to go back to reliable buttons and dials. Never, NEVER had an appliance need to replace a button, toggleswitch or dial. | ||
