interesting that they were still using that nasty shaded pole pump motor -noisy and uses about twice the power of a split phase of same HP rating... |

You hit the nail on the head ctz2882 these motors used over 4 times the power of the motor that replaces it and the large cooling fan contributed heavily to the noise level, let along when the fan would come loose on the motor shaft. GE had trouble with loose fans all through the 1990s. The other thing I hated about these motors is that when they were under load the motor speed would vary so the machine would sound like it was straining while it was washing.
3bwesty on these machines the motor actually did use more power than the heater, the model tag for these machines lists the heater draw @ 5 AMPS and the motor @ 5.5 AMPS. I always thought they should have wrapped copper water tubing around the motor and used all the waste heat to heat the wash water. You could really feel the heat generated by GE DWs when you had the lower panels off when you were lying on the floor working on them. |

It cleans very well and this model that been branded Kenmore was pretty quite compared to other models.
I beleave this was the last of them ,this had the boosted prewash and water heat cycle. This post was last edited 02/26/2011 at 21:52 |
