 Chrlie, I'm going to need more than just "Potscrubber 845". Is it a GSD845 or is it a PTD845 or some other model number? As for the Maytag, looking at the user manual, it appears to be one of the initial Maytag models based upon Whirlpools Tall Tub Point Voyager platform in around 2006 or 2007 after Maytag's acquisition by Whirlpool. I had the Kenmore Elite version and it was a good dishwasher. | ||

I was wrong. It is a Potscrubber 840. Mind must have been going nuts. The specific model number is GSD840P-45. | ||

Charlie, the GE is from the very late 1980s, early 1990s. I loved my 1987 GSD1200 Potscrubber. In fact, my 2006 Kenmore Elite replaced the GE. The Maytag has a more flexible, larger capacity than the GE with it's pop-up wash tower in the bottom rack. I never had too many issues with loading and I threw filthy dirty encrusted dishware and casserole dishes at it. the Maytag is quieter, but takes almost 2 hours to complete a cycle and uses 66% of the water the GE does. But the GE is much faster. It's also noisier than the Maytag. But I still miss the GE to this day. What kind fo condition is the GE in? Does it appear to not been used much? The GE will give outstanding results, particularly with the wash temp boost option selected. And the Maytag is new in box? | ||

I’ll take some pictures of the inside tomorrow and post here. Is there any way to tell if the wash heat booster is actually working after all these years? The house is a 1992 model, so I would guess it was manufactured somewhere a little before that. | ||

Here are the pictures of the GE. Do you think I should save this one or get the Maytag? | ||

If the Maytag is a true Maytag tall tub, door latch handle (that always breaks) is NLA, as is the control panel (in any color). The GE might be a safer bet, although older. | ||

I actually did do some research on the door latch handle and Sears Parts Direct still lists one but only in black. Seems like a lot of people are looking for them in white, but of course they are no longer available. | ||
