New GE Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes
Comments (17)Actually, people did do that, but people will cook food on their engine blocks too. People do all kinds of odd things. I agree about checking the connection to the sink for the smell, unless the smell is just soapy clean locker room smell (which the escaping steam could smell like). The lack of adequate drying in DW's is one of my big bugaboos, but I agree that little pools of water in the concave bottoms of mugs and glasses, and the turned up edges of containers, is normal. I've never had a dishwasher that consistently dried these. I've seen some that have the cups on strong angles, supposedly to drain, but it just makes the racks hard to load, and isn't enough of an angle to really make a difference. Where I start I complain is where great big gobs of water stick all over the dishes. I have the GE Monogram, which probably isn't all that different from the basic GE. In order to get things really dry I have to use Heated Dry/ Added Heat/ Plastics Cycle. Some other combinations are adequate for some uses, but the glasses and plastics only get dry in the plastics cycle. If you have that, give it a try....See Morepdw9980 ge profile dishwasher
Comments (6)I've now had a PDW9980SS for 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, and 3 more times in the last 18 months for other electronic failures. The last time, it melted all the internal parts, and filled the house with smoke. If I hadn't been home, I suspect it would have started a fire. I've also read on the Internet of this happening to others. It goes into an uncontrolled drying cycle, and won't stop until it is unplugged. GE replaced the dishwasher this morning. The brand new PDW9980 does not work! The panel will not respond. The installer said he could do nothing, and I should call GE again. So, I'm waiting for service again. Each service call is about a week of waiting for a tech to determine that it needs a circuit board, then about 2 weeks waiting for parts. I've done dishes by hand more in the past 18 months with this dishwasher than I did in 28 years of owning other brands. My advice would be STAY AWAY! BUY SOMETHING ELSE!...See MoreGE Profile Dishwasher vs. Bosch?
Comments (10)Just found couples of comments on other thread - Sorry if I am not supposed to copy paste - Dishwasher recommendations??? clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings * Posted by gini2 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 4, 10 at 8:54 Warmfridge, You might wish to consider GE Profile. I recently traded in my 7 yr old top of the line Bosch for the Profile. It has a much better rack system than the Bosch, including 'large bowl' movable tines. It isn't quite as quiet as the Bosch, even though the Bosch was rated at 46 decibels and the Profile at 47 decibels. It cleans much better than the Bosch and has a much sturdier feel. Can't report on reliability as I've only had it for about 2 weeks but I have had no problems into a year with my Profile double oven range, FL washer/dryer and fridge.

Comments (24)There is definitely not enough water coming in. There's not even enough water to make it to the float switch. (the round thing in the photo behind your spray arm ) If your water valve is fully open, you most likely have a pinched water line or because the installer did not flush the water line before hooking it up to the new d/w you now have a clogged water valve screen.. This is an installer issue and they should take care of it for you. Most manufacturers will not cover by warranty an installation issue....See Moreweissman
