That's an early version due to the celery green interior.

I’m not familiar with the GE dishwashers of this era. How do they compare to a Kenmore ultra wash or a KItchenaid of this vintage as far as cleaning goes? Do they heat the water or have a fan for drying? Thanks.

I have the model below this one, the GSD-1000. This was before the Power Clean platform came out. Mine is dated from 79. It does heat the main wash and final rinse, though the heater is more about maintaing temperature rather then raising it. I don’t think GE has ever had forced air drying. That being said this would have a full steel frame around the tank, similar to a KA. These were also the first to have GEs multi orbit system , super racks, and the passive water filtration. They are also quite easy to work on. My Ultra Wash is probably a smidge better when it comes to really nasty baked on soil, but the Potscrubber can certainly hold its own and cleans most loads with no problems.

GE Forced Air Drying

There were a couple of GE models - 1955 and 1956 I know for sure 'cause I have one of each - that had a kind of 'forced air' drying system.  The old bakelite impeller would continue to run as the calrod heater operated in the dry cycle.  GE dropped that method in 1957 when the stainless bow-tie impeller was introduced.

The Potscrubber II series had forced air drying.

Interestingly when they were first introduced the dry cycle was skipped when the energy saving dry was selected. The timer rapid advanced to off. The fan only ran when heated dry was selected. A subsequent change to the timer had the fan on regardless of the energy saving choice.
