My G.E. Monogram is being water starved I think.Our water pressure is VERY VERY high and we had have a reducer installed years ago.My dishwasher is not getting enough water cause I have always heard some cavitation in it but G.E.s have always done that.I did a test Sunday I loaded it and set it like we always have to, the longest wash there is.Today I loaded it full and set it on light wash/add heat and when it went in the main wash I added a half gallon of water to it and they came out cleaner than they ever have.The tops of the glass were clean no food or anything.Is there anyway to fix this I have called the plumber and he said the reducer is turned as high as it goes.I have a manual and it shows pics of where the water is supposed to be and well it falls short.Anybody have any ideas?

The water pressure reducer was installed years ago and the dishwasher maybe is a year old that is it.I hate having that thing on there but we were replacing faucets and water valves all the time before that.I don't know what to do but the washing is not good but you add that half gallon of water and washes fine.

I second checking the float. Lots of stuff gets in there and can causue it to not operate smoothly. |

you should replace the whole dishwasher with a standard Whirlmore one, with the powerfilter pump in it- I never liked the GE units anyway...... |

Funny. I had the opposite reaction. I had Ge's for years, bought a Whirlpool and had to eat the restocking fee since I HATED it so much. To each his own... |

...it would be interesting to see just which brand is more popular - I agree each to his own- but which one? Whirlpool, or GE? I also liked the post that mentioned Admiralpool-ha ha! |
