Is this a good price for a new dishwasher? How much would something like this normally go for? Seller asking price seems kind steep, but then again I'm honestly not sure.

Good Price ? Yes If you must have it,
But it was a poor performing DW when new, no filter, very limited racking, noisy and prone to leaks.
These were never very serious DWs, just low cost builder grade machines,
No one ever was trying to decide between on of these a a Kitchenaid, Whirlpool, High end GE or even a Maytag DW.

This is a Hotpoint with GE brand label on it. Looks just like the Hotpoint PotWasher that was in my 1984 house I bought in January 1986. It wasn't much better than the than the Hotpoint dishwashers I had in college in 1974 & 1975. Still left yibblets on/in my glasses. I couldn't wait to get rid of it and finally was able to May 1987 when I bought the GSD1200. the Hotpoint in my house had the same 5 buttons--labels Potwasher, Heavy Soil, Normal Soil, Heated Dry/Cool dry. Instead of Temperature Sensor it said Econo 120 on the panel.

Seals
If this was a Perma-Tuff machine I would buy it without hesitation as the only seals that could theoretically become brittle are the heater washers, sump boot, drain solenoid shaft and spray arm assembly- the sump boot and pump mechanism I would change anyway to the new style (as both wash and rinse better). Heater is a 5 minute fix. The spray arm hub and wash arm are plentiful in the new style and easy to replace worse case scenario. Plus it would give me an excuse to use a new style lower rack.
The Hotpoint versions however has rubber washers around 8 large tank screws, the upper rack wheels, timer (dumb idea), baffle, vent, detergent cup, fill flume, rinse aid, and several other components I'm probably forgetting going through the porcelain tank. I remember when the apartments around discarded these dishwashers after 20-30 years of use, universally there was rust and scale around at least a few of these poke throughs, the timer often being the worst and most common offender. If anything leaks here, I am not sure as to how to fix it. | ||
