If you buy this dishwasher invest in also getting an extended warranty!

We purchased all new GE Clean Steel appliances for our kitchen exactly two years ago.  We have had nothing but problems and now wish we could have our old but still working appliances back.

This summer it was our dishwasher's turn to die on us (last summer it was the refrigerator's turn).  Only after two years of operation in a household of now three people, the once quiet dishwasher's motor decided to start screeching and grinding during different times in the cycle.  The GE technician came out and replaced the motor at cost of $240! We are kicking ourselves for not getting the extended warranty on these GE appliances.  We once had total faith that we were buying quality GE products and now that faith has completely disappeared.  We will never again buy GE appliances!

Our old Kenmore dishwasher was eleven years old and never had a problem and was still running like a champ when we decided to "improve" our kitchen.  What a big mistake!
