Cycle buttons--the only thing it did was change the numberr of water changes throughout the cycle. The PotScrubber cycle also had a longer extended main wash to heat the water even higher. Jeff, your 1100 & this are considerably different inside. YOu had the deep upper rack, multi-orbit wash arm, delay start. And all the cycle buttons did for light or normal was different amount of waeter changes. cycle time length was still the same. My sister used to have an 1100. |

You tell him John. Jeff it won't kill you to leave food soil on your dishware for 5 or 6 days. Since you are prerinsing and insist on it, I suggest you run two consecutive Rinse & Holds and then let the load air dry. That way you won't be torturing and ruining your dishwasher as well asyour dishware. And those racks look in very good shape, but they are being eaten alive. |

Tom, backwards actually. I had a Tappan branded GE in a house built in 1985 with light, normal, and pots & pans cycle buttons with a rocker switch for water heat and the two buttons for heat/cool dry. My sister had the 1100. On both the 1100 & Tappan, that "first rinse" was bypassed when using Light Wash. On my Tappan, the "first rinse" was bypassed for both Normal and Light wash buttons but was included in Pts & Pans cycle. The water heat rocker switch slowed down the timer during a period of the main wash as well as did so just enough during the final rinse to add 5 or 8 minutes to the final rinse (no thermostat). With water heat on the main wash was extended by 10 minutes. Without it main wash was 20 minutes. With it the duration was 30 minutes. I found that if I used Normal with Water Heat on I got excellent results with the main wash extended by 5 minutes for the "bypass" of the first rinse (for a total of 20 minute extension). I even wrote in pencil in the owners manual what the combination did accomplish when I sold the house in early 1986 to be transferred here. There was also a little idiot light which came on signifying water heat was in progress. Light wash eliminated one of the 3 prewashes and the 2nd of the two prewashes was a partial fill to mimic a gentler water force. It pretty much sounded like the pumping sound/pitches as was found on my 1200's China Crystal cycle. My mom was amazed at what the Tappan could do with those settings. And when I replaced the crappy Hotpoint "Potwasher" with the GSD1200 in May 1987 (the house was bought at end of January 1986), the 1200 kicked even more butt than the Tappan and the Hotpoint was a paltry performer leaving rice everywhere on glasses in the upper rack which I didn't encounter with either the Tappan or the future GSD1200. Trust me I was pissed after the first 3 loads like that in the Hotpoint. I endured 16 months with that crappy Hotpoint. And I will debate John to larygitis status on this one. The Hotpoint & Tappan had virtually the same wash arm. But they had different pumps. Hence the crappy Hotpoint performance. And pump size difference was noted to me by the guy who removed said Hotpoint and installed the 1200 for me. |

Barry -
Thanks for the brochure scan. It seems my family has had a bunch of the machines on this list. My first dishwasher was a 2200G, which I thought was most cool. I had that only two years before moving, but later got a 2200L and now have a 2200G, which I ran three times in 24 hours on 12/23 and 12/24. My Mom had a 900G, from early 1987 until late 2004, and it was used between 4-times weekly and daily during that 17.5 year period. Guite a durable, and very satisfactory machine. One of our neighbors had a 2800G which seems to have lasted equally as long. I saw a number of 600Gs used as builder's supplied machines in homes in the late 80s, early 90s. I like these machines!

I'm not sure... Perhaps your local Craigslist? Or your local AutomaticWash.org Vintage Appliance Dealer. Don't walk, RUN there TODAY for the best appliances deals out! |

It's like something I have said to some before. There's a reason why it's called a Dish"Washer" and not a Dish"Rinser". |
