Hey folks!
Just bought a new place, and the appliance are TRASH. So I plunked down some benjis for a new washer, dryer and dishwasher. All GE units. Home Depot by me is having a huge 25% off sale, in addition to GE releasing a rebate program for $100 off qualified units. So that's $300 back to me. I felt dumb passing it up. They arrive late next week. Here are the prizes! Can't wait! products.geappliances.com/applian... products.geappliances.com/applian... products.geappliances.com/applian... |

Congratulations on all the new appliances! It's always fun to get new ones. Lots of interest in GE here, lately. I have a GE PDT750 dishwasher and like it a lot. It cleans well and is almost silent. I'm not too familiar with their front-loaders, so am looking forward to your performance review when you get it.

Well, things had to change for the laundry pair.
I did some more research and re-measuring after the order was placed....and had to change it. The GE Right Height washers are THIRTY FIVE inches in depth! Wayyyyy too deep for the smaller space I thought I had. So I had to go back to Home Depot, and swap my order for a Maytag Maxima 5100 set to stack up. I thought the GEs were nicer....honestly. But these will be good. They very good reviews too. www.maytag.com/laundry-1/laundry-... |

Well, actually it does and it doesn't. The biggest difference with the Maytags is that they're standard height so I can now stack them in the corner, 90 degrees from the original layout. Otherwise if I had them traditionally set up, side by side, then yes, the Maytags would be too deep as well.
Pics in the coming weeks will make sense. |

Well! Great news. The Maximas arrived, were set up in the newly renovated utility room, and they've already done their first load of towels, flawlessly.
These are 5100s to be exact. The towels went through a normal cycle in about 45min. They spun on Extra High, and despite one of the leveling legs not being the right height from the hasty delivery guys...this thing spun quietly and smoothly, as if everything was concretely planted. I was very impressed. The gas dryer dried them in under an hour on Heavy Duty. What was interesting is the lint filter had half the lint from the towels load, as it has from the grueling WPDD in my apartment. I think these will do very well. After the holidays! The GE Profile dishwasher report. |

Tell us this, not tonight necessarily, but can you enter diagnostics? If so, great...just press off (Power on Maytags) or cancel to leave without worry of changing anything. Hope this Helps, LaVidaBoem |

Yep, Once I did that on high level rinse and paused it, the door didn't unlock so i waited, and then it threw the error code and went into drain. |

Well, luckily I did a load of sorely needed dress shirts last night while painting the new place.
Normal cycle, light soil. Warm. Medium spin. (btw, this machine has Low, Medium and Extra High spin speeds). The wash was about 10min. (water level barely to the drum front seam) Did a low speed spin before rinsing. 1st, short rinse. 2nd longer rinse, with fabric softener. - On this 2nd rinse, I did notice slightly more water and splashing, but never did it even seem to reach the door seal level. |
