A friend of mine had a very similar if not exactly the same one in is house from 1985. Everything but the Jenn-Air cooktop was GE Talisman Royale in that house (including the filter-flo washer/dryer set in the basement) and the side by side fridge with black panels and self-cleaning wall oven.
The dishwasher still worked fine when he sold the house in 1998. It did make a strange noise which was apparently the same since new! I really liked the vacuum fluorsecent display! |

Since it has the porcelain on steel tub, I'm wondering if this machine is based on the Hotpoint models, rather than the US GE models. |

A huge massive steel turbine can create enough of a magnetic field to be efffective through some steel. A tiny weak magnet at the end of the washarm probably dosen't. |

The soap dispenser has it's own motor. This often can be re-awakened (I've done two) by disassembly, oiling and reassembly. When it starts to gum up, it usually jams the soap dish shut. Which you've noticed. The water level problem could be caused by the sensor under the float - it's not really a good choice for a logic level sensor. If they skipped the blocked arm sensor, thank your lucky stars. Whether the HAL sensor or the reed switch, it was a constant source of trouble. The mother board of these was constantly being swapped out in the early years. We have one which is a third revision, one which is a second revision. Both were repaired. Your segments may be ok, it could be the film over them. Or, the display could clear up over time. Or, it might be losing gas, or the voltage could be down. Or, the display was set to low and needs to be set to high. Get a manual, it will make your life so much easier. Boy, these sure do wash well. It's certain that the electrolytic capacitors on the board are leaking and need to be replaced. That, alone, could fix most or all of the problems. Look for a resistor out of tolerance in the soap dish circuit. |
