New GE Profile Dishwasher (PDT750SSFSS)

10 years ago

I will need a new dishwasher later this year in conjunction with a remodel. A salesperson raved about the new GE Profile (PDT750SSFSS). He said it was amazing and included some of the biggest changes that US dishwashers have seen in a long time; features that have been in Miele for a while already.
Does anyone have one or have anything to say about it?
Thanks!

Seashine,

I can't speak to newer GE Profile. But I had an older GE Profile, and my only pet peeve with GE is they would no longer sell parts for a 14 year old machine (pump housing taken down by a $.25 pump seal, which they did not sell either). So although I wanted to fix it, I could not. So if you are content with junking a potential machine for a simple service repair after circa 10+ years of ownership, then proceed with the GE brand. They may not be the only brand with a similar mentality, but my expectation is for parts to be available at least 15 yrs for a major appliance so I can 20 years out of my hard earned dollars.

On a positive side about GE, it had limited issues for the first 14 years of operation. Twice I had to take the door apart to fix a delaminating sound shield pad that was messing up the dispenser operation. This would have been a service call for someone not as familiar with appliances as myself.

Bertazzoni, GE Profile, GE Cafe or Electrolux Gas Range?
Q
Comments (13)
I am not sure how useful this will be. I replaced an electric smoothtop (I hate them!) in my house in Oregon with an Electrolux Wavetouch 5 burner dual fuel LP range. I only lived there full time for about a year with the range before relocating to Maine. Am not sure what the fascination with smooth tops, but I ended up with another one in the place I have purchased in Maine, its dual burner died after 4 months of use. I decided to replace it with the 30" all LP Berta range and am taking advantage of the hood promotion (BTW, they retail for $1,200). My place is heated with an LP based European type hydronic radiant heat units and a LP fireplace, so adding cooking should not tax my 300 gallon LP tank, LOL! I was looking for a range that is decidedly "manual" without an electronic interface due to the wind and subsequent power outages that are to common in this part of the state. I was also advised of service problems with the electronic interfaces on the Electroluxes, even though my range in Oregon has not had a service problem as of yet, knock on wood (am a reluctant landlord). Initially, I planned to purchase an Electrolux dual fuel floor model but could not pass up the hood promotion Bertazzoni is currently offering. I am only hoping when the range is installed, the oven temp will be adequately calibrated. I previously owned a Viking, but really did not want to spend the extra money for what I thought would be of marginal benefit. I also do not miss cleaning the Viking grates which were an exercise in weightlifting too! I visited friends of mine a few years ago in Europe and I believe they have a Berta (the knobs are pretty distinctive). I do about 70% rangetop and 30% oven cooking. My old Viking had gas convection and an infrared broiler and I really liked the oven and understand that the Berta is similar, though I believe the heat control is different (regulated by flame instead of on and off).

Elsewhere on this forum or on another forum on this website there was a good deal of talk about how bad LG customer service is. So I would stay away from them. We have a Bosch and love it. Unfortunately, HD does not carry it.

Don't have a picture, but cleanup is not a problem (actually doesn't get very dirty to start with). I use Guardsman SS spray on all my SS, both here & in my previous kitchen. Does a great job.

bosch 800 series, GE profile, or Miele Dishwasher?
Q
Comments (4)
When my kitchen remodel was done in 2006, we went with a GE Profile from Lowes that was $700. It has repaired about 7 times in the course if a year. Lowes took it back and have us store credit that we used for an Electrolux Wave Touch at $1200. It never worked right for 2 months. Lowes then refunded us back. After being without a unit for the next 2 years, I did some research and decided to go with the Miele Diamante Plus at $1500. I've had it 5 years now and would only ever go with another Miele dishwasher in the future. Even though it doesn't have a heating element, the drying is fine. Only some plastic cups will pond some water on the top, or some Tupperware items need hand dried.

Muffet , how is your dishwasher working?
sunshine, Did you end up buying the GE profile and is it working okay for you.
I want a dishwasher that is easy to load and washes without pre-rinsing like my old Kitchen aid. I moved into a home with a drawer style Kitchen aid and refuse to buy kitchen aid again.

Getting parts after 14 years can be tough with any brand, unless it is a part that is common to many different models that sold very well.

Karenseb,

The first-generation KA drawer units (models KUDD01) were sourced from Fisher & Paykel. Second-generation KA units (models KUDD03, there was no 02 series) were manufactured by Fulgor, a completely different design than F&P.

Still satisfied with your Profile DW? It's between this one and the Bosch 800+ series for me.

I've used my PDT750 for several months now and still love it. The ability to wash just the top rack or the bottom rack has come in handy for partial loads. Love the silverware basket is sturdy and able to easily be carried to my silverware drawer. It is super quiet. I've found that it washes best if I don't pre-rinse the dishes. Plastics do retain water if I place them flat as I tend not to use the drying feature.

Just now experimenting with Cascade tabs as I've been using my DW liquid still on hand.

Biggest annoyance - the packing tape (super sticky) was applied directly to the SS door and removing the residue was time consuming.

So they have to be dirty to get 'em clean? ;) Well, that's a pretty good recommendation I would say.

I was wondering about the silverware basket as well, and since this doesn't have the 3rd rack/silverware tray that so many want, it's good to know you like it.
We have a Bosch that has that 3rd top rack, and it's not all that useful, but that just may be from old habits.
