Hello, and thanks for sharing. Having to return an appliance twice can be frustrating, and we're sorry you went through this with your dishwasher. We appreciate you making us aware of the issue, and for your patience throughout this difficult time. Take care. -Sylvia@Haier Haier

perfect size for a small home
The size of this dishwasher is perfect and it's fairly quiet when running. My only complaint is that I noticed when I don't rinse my dishes first, they don't get completely clean. I really don't like stainless for any appliance due to fingerprints and pet nose prints, so I bought a large magnet to cover the front.

        Not crazy about it
        It looks nice and works well but that's about it. That is why I give it 2 stars. I don't like the setup of the curved prongs. It's hard to put some dishes and bowls in it. I have to take out the utensil container in order to put in a pot and wash the utensils by hand. My previous dishwasher had straight prongs and was able to move my utensil container anywhere that I wanted and it was able to fit over the prongs. This container only goes in a certain spot and does not fit over the prongs. I also don't like the wide spaces on the bottom tray. Small things can fall through that I can't fit on the top shelf. I wish I had my old dishwasher back. Sometimes progress isn't always better.

        Hi there, thank you for taking the time to reach out with this feedback. We can certainly understand how frustrating it would be to deal with a different-than-expected design of the racks, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused for you. We would recommend checking out our loading guide for some tips and tricks that may help maximize your rack space. This can be found starting on page 8 of the use and care manual, linked here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-55125-3.pdf We will also be passing along this feedback to our design teams for use moving forward, and we appreciate the insight. If there are any ways we can assist you in the future, please feel free to reach out. -Elliot@Haier
          Disappointed & not worth the price
          I would not recommend this dishwahser. If you are looking for a slim dishwahser, do your research and read the reviews! To start, the whole dishwasher is flimsy, when you open the door, to the drawers. The bottom rack does not hold full sized dinner plates. The sprayer above gets caught on it. The utensil dispenser is completely useless, and plastic crap. Nothing fits in there, it always catches on the door as you close it, and it does not fit right. Had I not spent so much on it, I would trash it and get another brand.

            Easy to Install
            Great little washer that fits tight kitchens. Install instructions were good and included tips to avoid service calls. Motor is solid, much heavier unit than last one. Super quiet, even before the last step of installing the insulated kick plate.

              Perfect for my small kitchen!
              I love the simple look of this dishwasher which drew me to it when I saw it. After reading reviews it was easy to make the decision to buy it. Runs quietly and does a great job of getting the dishes clean.

                  Haier ('GE' - mfrd by Mexican Mabe Co. - Chinese)
                  BUYER BEWARE - my HAIER (GE name only) dishwasher immediately leaked through a faulty tub seam. Very good local service guy found it immediately and told me to video and send to the mfr Mabe (Mexican, part of Haier, now Chinese owned). I sent it and Mabe called me once - but now doesn't answer or call back!

                      Broke less than 1.5 years after purchase
                      Ran well for a while. Then started emitting a foul electrical burning smell. Need to replace the motor which will cost me more than 60% what the new unit cost. Warranty only 1 year so no coverage. Unit should last longer than 18 months given cost.

                        9 months in, I'm not satisfied at all
                        Very poor design. Upper spray arm keeps falling off, have to rewash items in sink. Space between top and bottom rack is too short to accommodate standard size dinner plates. Dishes fall through Bottom rack and jam lower spray.

                          Does not dry dishes at all. I ran the 90 minute cycle on the first use and everything including the inside of the door was totally wet. I left the door ajar for two days and dishes were still wet.. then I went to the 120 minute ‘sterilize’ mode and dishes were still wet although the door was not. It took about two days leaving them on the counter to fully dry. Quite disappointed!

                                The door latch broke within 2 uses. Still waiting for it to get fixed by GE. The space inside is very less. I guess you should not expect a large space inside a 18 inch dishwasher. Yet to use it full cycle and check the washing quality.

                                    Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us about your experience with your new dishwasher, though we truly hate to hear you're having an issue with the door not latching and the machine not running. We know this would be concerning, especially when you only installed it last week. You may want to check that nothing is preventing the door from fully closing - if it's being blocked by the cabinet, or anything inside is obstructing it, it may not shut enough to allow the latch to engage. You might also want to check that the dishwasher is level and the door is aligned correctly; if any issue with installation is causing the unit to not be level or the door to be misaligned that could prevent a proper latch. If that may be the case, your installation instructions have information on these issues. Our service department will be able to assist with your concern if the above information doesn't help to resolve; if you need to reach out to them again, they are available at 1-877-337-3639. We hope this issue is resolved for you soon so you can enjoy your new dishwasher, and are happy to address any other concerns you may have. -Sarah@GEA Haier

                                      Hi there - we are so sorry that your dishwasher's door is not latching and that you've had a poor experience so far with service. This would be disappointing and we completely understand your frustration. On new dishwashers, it may be necessary to push-in on the top center of the control panel while latching the door because the gasket is still stiff and may not yet have had an opportunity to seat properly. Up to ten dishwasher cycles may be required for wash cycle heat to help mold and seat the gasket - it will become more pliable after a few uses. Reach out to us directly if this issue persists or if you have any further questions or concerns; we are always happy to help. All the best, Kelsey@Haier Haier

                                        As expected. Technical sent to service dishwasher told me that he cannot fix it. Oll bottom and inside part of the door of the dishwasher covered with rust stains. Issue is not related to washing something rusty or to rusting trays as Haier tries to present it. Rust particles plug filter. According to technician dishwasher does not have any metal inside. All plastic this means that all that rust is coming of the stainless steal. Plugged filter need to be cleaned after each run. Rust accumulates even if you run dishwasher completely empty. No trays not dishes.

                                            Hello there, we're sorry to hear you're finding rust particles in your filter. We're sure this is concerning and we're happy to help. To prevent a reoccurrence of rust, keep objects prone to rusting out of the dishwasher, or prevent them from coming in contact with the dishwasher tub. We also want you to know that rust coming from the house water supply could be the indication of a plumbing problem requiring the attention of a plumber. To help with any rusting, we suggest the use of citric acid. Citric acid is available in liquid or crystal form. GE Appliances recommends the crystals because they will remain in the detergent cup until it is time to dispense the product, while the liquid is likely to run out before the detergent cup opens. Citric acid crystals are sometimes called "sour salt" and are available at some drug stores and most grocery stores in the canning or spice section. Also, citric acid can be used in both plastic and stainless steel interior dishwashers.
                                            With that said, do not place silverware, aluminum items or other metals in the dishwasher during this process to avoid tarnishing those items. Dishes or glasses with "patterns" should not be left in the dishwasher when doing a citric acid treatment. Some "patterns" can be damaged or washed off. We hope all this information is found useful and we're wishing you the very best. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. - Guy@GEA Haier

                                                    Hello there - thank you for this feedback. We apologize for the non-heated drying system and for the difficulty you're facing while loading dishes on the racks. We can see how discouraging this must be and we understand your disappointment. This model does not have a heated dry cycle. Instead, it uses an energy-efficient Condensate Dry System. It's important to note that the use of a rinse agent ensures spot and film protection for dishes and assists the drying process. The upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. Instructions on how to do so, along with some helpful loading tips, can be found on pages 8 and 9 of the owner's manual: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-55125-3.pdf. We hope this is helpful. Reach out if you have any questions or concerns; we're always happy to assist. Be well, Kelsey@Haier
