    Great features
    My old dishwasher was so noisy. I can’t even hear my new one running when I’m standing next to it!! I love all the feature including sanitize and bottle jets.

      Faulty part
      Rubber elbow from recirculation pump had tear, slow leak and ruined floor. Unable to purchase just the rubber elbow. Need to purchase entire pump that will probably come with same faulty elbow

      Hello - Thank you kindly for taking a moment to connect and share your experience. We're incredibly sorry to hear about the rubber elbow breaking on you. That is not something we want happening to anyone. We are going to have one of our agents get in touch over email, this way we can gather some additional information and offer guidance. If you don't see a message soon, we recommend checking your spam or junk folder. We look forward to hearing from you. - Jonathon@GEAppliances
        Very nice and very Quiet
        Well I just installed this so I can’t say to much yet but ran a soiled plate for the first wash to clean the tub out from germs and it steamed it good on the 1 hour wash. The only thing I think is odd is how long it takes to wash a load on normal with the dry boost it’s almost 6 hours. My old GE would wash in just 2 hours and it dried okay. So I may play with it to get the time down. But it is also very quiet so I can wash every night which I guess is the normal thing to do. It was pretty easy to install. I had to plane the trim piece to get it to fit better but not the dishwashers fault. The quality is good the rollers aren’t super smooth but you can’t oil rollers for a dishwasher so this is normal I’m sure. We are very happy with this and they come on sale at Lowe’s at great prices. Our old GE dishwasher was about 16 years old and still works when we bought our new appliances we liked the slate that GE offers so GE only made sense.

              Works great but a few quirks
              The dishwasher works well and cleanse my dishes. I really enjoy it compared to my last much older dishwasher. However, there are a few complaints/ issues. Firstly, when I push in the bottom rack the silverware holder catches on the door seal slightly, which over time is going to rip or tear this seal. Secondly, in this model the third rack on top has very large holes and cannot accommodate small items or fit silverware very well like other models third rack can. Also, the second rack is adjustable in height which is great in theory except that when I lower the second rack to accommodate taller items, I can then no longer fit knives into the silverware holder on the bottom as they disrupt the water sprayer. So essentially the adjustable second rack is useless unless you only have short items on the bottom.

                Just Installed, time to test
                So far the dishwasher is working as intended, however, after the first cycle was run, we had water/condensation all over the inside of the tub, which is stainless steel. I have read other reviews having this same issue. We didn't get an owners manual with the product so I have had to download it to find out if the Dry Boost option is required every time, as my daughter didn't know how to set it, without a manual, so she just ran a normal cycle. I am hoping with the second run of the dishwasher, with Dry Boost selected, that there will not be all of this water/condensation. However, it looks very nice in our kitchen. I have learned, however, that with young kids, my 2 year old grandson to be exact, make sure you lock the controls. :)

                  Sleek dishwasher, somewhat difficult hookup
                  Attractive, fully stainless dishwasher. Top controls add to its sleek look. Came mounted to a small pallet with no box (unless the third party delivery company removed it, but I doubt it), so I was surprised to find it undamaged. Hookup was kind of a pain or I’d give it five stars. Specifically, the leveling feet have a tendency to thread in crooked!and they are difficult to level once the unit is slid into place; very little room to hook up the water supply line / turn a wrench; instructions weren’t real clear on how to trim drain line down to a smaller length; toe plate screws didn’t want to go in - had to fully screw them in with some force and back them out to get them to thread and I’m still not sure they’re the right screws (I would assume they’d be black, same as the toe plate, but there were no black screws included).

                      Wheels poorly manufactured
                      The front left wheels kept falling off after install. It eventually fell off and got burned on the heating unit during the drying process. Poorly manufactured and dangerous. My eyes burned from the smoke when I opened the dishwasher. Will be calling for a replacement.

                        Self installation is possible.
                        Did the installation myself. Easy to follow instructions when I YouTube searched for he washers. It is less noisy than my last dishwasher. So far it’s been performing great. I like the top 3rd rack.

                            We recently purchased the GE® Fingerprint Resistant Top Control with Stainless Steel Interior Dishwasher with Sanitize Cycle & Dry Boost with Fan Assist and couldn't be more happier with this dishwasher! We love the bottle wash option, it really gets our taller glasses and cups clean.

                                  Very pleased we purchased our GE dishwasher. The unit was packaged securely and very accessible. The installation instructions were easy to follow having never installed a dishwasher before. As expected, the operation was even easier. We highly recommend this unit as well as any GE appliance.

                                    Product design flaws
                                    After reading reviews about soaked floors after installation I said to myself had to be installation error. Itis a design failure! My brother and I installed the dishwasher. Well what a surprise, water spilling onto the floor under the machine, we shut it off immediately and pulled washer out. What a disappointment in how careless the design in for the water supply line! GE you need to secure the supply line box from rotating and put put a hose clamp on the supply line!!!

                                      Go with different dishwasher
                                      I will be returning this dishwasher. This is a cheaply made dishwasher with not a cheap price. Trim piece broke within 30 days, door and racks are loose and flimsy. The only positive is it washes dishes well but so do other dishwashers…

                                          Hopefully one time is all
                                          I am a new construction and I moved in on a Saturday, washed my dishes the next morning that were packed in boxes before putting them in my cupboard and the top right corner of the machine pulled away and broke. My dealer told me this has been an issue and ordered a new top piece! I hope this is not a chronic issue and will keep happening. Also, it’s not cleaning my coffee cups. This week I will be seeing if the bottle jets will get them clean!

                                              This dishwasher runs for hours and does not clean as intended. If you don't clean out the filter in the bottom almost daily you get black mildew residue all over your dishes and the I side of the dishwasher. It is disgusting!

                                              Hi, We're sorry to hear this dishwasher isn't performing as expected. Seeing that your dishes are still dirty after a cycle can be disappointing, and we'd like to help with this. Please make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser or wash arms, as this will keep dishes from being cleaned properly. You can find tips on loading your dishwasher on page 13 of the Use and Care manual.

                                                  Had this for over a year. Hard to tell when it's running. So Far, Very Good. Don't forget to Clean the Filter, it Twists Out of the bottom. One a month or so use a Half cup of Citric Acid to clean the Whole Dishwasher. Keeping it clean will make it last longer.

                                                      It was a nice and quiet dishwasher for 3 days. I woke up this morning to find that one of the roller assemblies from the bottom rack had become dislodged and then melted into the heating element. I’ve never seen anything like this before, it’s a major design flaw. Someone was sleeping at the factory when they put this together Now I need to figure out how to deal with this.

                                                        It has a nice look—NOT too much on the front of the dishwasher. GE brand and towel bar. All the controls are on the top of the door. Runs very quiet…really cannot tell it’s on.

                                                          I moved the supposedly “brand new” machine hose and our newly remodeled kitchen was seasoned with a heavy shower of stinky water. If you’ve ever had a dog escape and come home wet and smelling like rotten fish, you get the idea. Our just-washed dishes smell like rotten fishes. Home Depot told me thats bormal for GE. It would he been nice of Home Depot to tell me before the purchase Even after several washes and six days later. Even woth cascade platinum. Also, I used the 1-hour setting and dishes were dirty so I added another Platinum pod and ran the same dishes on the highest setting. The highest setting did better, but some dishes still didn’t clean.

                                                            This dishwasher is beautiful
                                                            We just installed it yesterday so have only used it 1 time. It did a good job. The controls are easy. Its quiet. I like the bottle washers. The installation was a bit difficult for my husband, who has some experience doing the job.
