Hi Meagan, It sounds like there it is either a problem with the Timer or the drive Motor. The Drive motor is turned on by the timer during wash or drain. There is a chance that one of the two electrical leads going into the motor has fallen off or become loose. When you turn the knob after it has filled up do you hear the drain solenoid making a "snapping or clunk" like sounds? Also as Kenmore 1978 said it is important to see if the timer knob is turning slowly on its own. Can you start the dishwasher, let it fill up and wait 10 minutes and see if the dial is moving. |

By 1967, did GE portable dishwashers still use impellers or switch to the spray arms? I'm thinking the latter, but you can't be too sure... --Austin |

They had already switched to spray arms by 67. |

If anyone craves the smell of classic Cascade, go to BigLots or Dollar General and buy the store brands of dishwasher detergent. It still has bleach in it, and smells like classic Cascade...... |

Thanks for the advice. I am out of town right now, but will try your suggestions when I get home tonight, or in the morning. P.S. - this one was $12.00 :) |
