Through new home and apartment builders GE sold millions of dishwashers in this time period and the good thing about all these dishwashers being installed in kitchens is people got used to having a dishwasher and when they failed they bought another one very seldom another GE however.
GE dishwashers in this time. We’re pretty poor performers they had decent reliability until they rusted out but if they were used daily they lasted anywhere from about 6 to 12 years or so.
The fact that dishwasher had a standard size made for huge sales for all the manufacturers like whirlpool Maytag KitchenAid and D&M Kenmore, even Waste-King sold a lot of DWs because Gas tubs rusted so badly that people were attracted to Wks fake SS tubs.
GE finally had to come to grips with the problem of the rusted out machines and went to the plastic tubs first and that solved that problem , but only their high-end dishwashers with the filter systems did a good job but they still had a crappy pump that leaked and was noisy because they still used a $7 pump and motor in their TOL models.
