Does not clean dishes!

byjodilynn17 Jul 18, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros It's quiet.
Cons Does not clean dishes. Poor rack design.
Recommended it? No

My new (i.e., within 3 months) dishwasher does not adequately clean the dishes. On average, it leaves about 20% of the load dirty. It also says that pre-rinsing is not necessary; however, if you do not pre-rinse (and sometimes pre-soak), that 20% increases dramatically. I used to throw everything... Read full review »

Great Features, Great Look, Does The Job

bymickelle Jul 3, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Quite, spacious, smart-dispense, delay timer, sleek.
Cons Mechanical and electronic issue
Recommended it? Yes

This dishwasher was purchased because it matched all of the other GE Profile appliances to go in the new kitchen. The stainless steel look was important in the decision to buy this particular model.

We installed the dishwasher ourselves, and had no problems doing so. We also had no... Read full review »

It isn't supposed to wash dishes

bynakulm Jul 23, 2007

Pros looks pretty
Cons doesn't do what it supposed to do
Recommended it? No

I found that this dishwasher
* left any food that you left on the dish as is
* serving spoons will not fit in the cutlery tray; it is located under the shortest part of the tub; so lay them flat somewhere and hope they wont float away

After numerous service calls I was told by... Read full review »

Worst Appliance Ever Purchased!

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Quiet, attractive.
Cons Doesn't clean well compared to other brands, hard to load, terrible customer service.
Recommended it? No

We purchased this to match other GE profile appliances already installed in the home we purchased.  Had I done a little research I would likely have avoided this VERY COSTLY MISTAKE.  This dishwasher is quiet, attractive and the smart-dispenser is handy, but the pros end there.

I had to have... Read full review »

Pros Quiet, nice looking
Cons unreliable, apparenlty difficult for repairmen to fix, poor washing ability
Recommended it? No

Has never worked properly. Will not clean lower rack. Purchased through Sears. Repairman said 'wax motor for check ball valve was faulty' so the lower wash arm wouldn't work. He ordered part, still not fixed. They then replaced the computer chip. It has been 3 separate visits by 3 different repair... Read full review »

VERY Quiet

byjubenning Feb 15, 2008
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Very quiet, good cleaning results
Cons Built in liquid detergent container
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this dishwasher when it just came on the market. We were looking for a very quiet dishwasher, as our kitchen is open and adjacent to the family room. We owned a Bosch DW before which had constant problems and bad cleaning results. Considered a Miele, but they were just too expensive and... Read full review »

it works if you put effort in

bywogglewiler Sep 20, 2007
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros quiet saves soap looks awesome easy to load
Cons allows goop build up at bottom of door.
Recommended it? Yes

I like my dishwasher. I had to actually take a second to look at how to load it before it cleaned the dishes. Lazy people get dirty dishes. The auto dispenser has saved me loads-o-cash on detergent as I adjusted it to meet my needs. The sound upgrade fits perfectly once you apply grade 10 thinking... Read full review »

Smart Dispense not so smart

byjetchik Aug 18, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Quiet and cleans great when the detergent dispenser works!!
Cons Smart dispense system keeps breaking down--faulty technology not worth the premium price.
Recommended it? No

We bought GE profile appliances along with the monogram cooktop for newly built home last year. The dishwasher never quite cleaned the dishes right from the beginning. After a few months, we noticed that we should surely be out of detergent by now, but it was still almost full! Called GE and they... Read full review »

Poor reliability, and slow service

byhenryj3 Dec 28, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good looking machine. When it works, it cleans the dishes well.
Cons It is very unreliable and potentially dangerous.
Recommended it? No

I've now had a PDW9980SS for about 18 months. We remodeled our kitchen and installed all new stainless steel GE Profile appliances.

The dishwasher had to be repaired for a faulty control panel immediately after installation. It suffered three more failures over the past 18 months for... Read full review »

Don't make the same mistake I did.

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Large capacity. Adjustable racks. Appearance.
Cons Quiet power 7 sound upgrade does NOT fit the machine. Loud. Smart soap not adjustable.
Recommended it? No

This machine simply does not function as it's supposed to. The quiet power 7 system is a plastic and foam toe plate. This part does NOT fit the machine. If it is installed the door will not open all the way. With out it the machine is excessively loud. If you buy one watch your installer and be... Read full review »
