GE Dishwashers Reviews

We bought a GE Profile dishwasher and it is the absolute worst one I've ever had. I scrape and rinse and still have to re-wash many dishes. Also have to clean the filter at least every two days. Don't recommend. Look around for something better.

We have a GE washer, it’s been trouble from day one, rinsed plates come back with particles of food, glasses cloudy and with some sort of grime. We have cleaned filters and spray out the bottom of the washer. Never worked so hard on a dishwasher that doesn’t clean dishes or glasses. GE should be ashamed.

I do not recommend the GE dishwasher model PDT145SSLOSS. Be prepared to wash dishes thoroughly before loading. Hard to use the Start button. Does not clean, sanitize, or dry. Runs way too long with horrible results, even when using hot water from the supply. The flatware rack does not lock in. Dishes do not stay fixed within the rack holders. Tall 6-inch glasses fall over. GE emphasizes energy efficiency, which is countered by the long-run cycle. In my opinion, there are no energy savings because it continues to run. GE emphasizes energy efficiency, which is just more work, requiring manual cleaning of dishes that come out dirty and wet.

We purchased the GE GPT225SGL2WW portable dishwasher (Serial #: FZ608523K) in February 2024, and it has been a nightmare. The first unit failed almost immediately — GE said the part needed was on backorder until September, which is completely unacceptable for a brand-new appliance. Thankfully, they did replace the unit within 30 days. The replacement worked for a short while, but then the control panel failed. We called again, the same repairmen came out, confirmed the issue, and said the part needed to be ordered. After waiting with no follow-up, it was finally repaired.

Whoever created this product ** up. Unless it's not meant to be dishwasher, but dishrinser. Brand new. Used cascade platinum, different cycles, loaded less and less dishes, to point it's half. Watched video how to correctly place dishes in...Doesn't matter, half dishes are just as if very lightly rinsed. Have to handwash it anyway. What's a purpose??? Had visitor, she has same "superquiet" dishwasher...Said she has exactly same experience. Screw this crap. Don't waste money on GE "dishwasher". It's useless.

GE dishwasher heavy cycle runs 4.5 hours, the dishes are wet, the hot water options do not work. The 1-hour cycle runs for 2.5 hours and dishes come out wet and dirty. The reservoir is filled with liquid 'jet dry' yet dishes come out wet. The appliance repair guy (he works on all makes and models) came out and checked it, no parts replaced because he said it is working as designed. Even the repair technician said GE dishwashers are low quality. I purchased this washer for my daughter, going to swap it out with a Bosch, that is what I have. The Bosch heavy wash runs 2 hours and 19 minutes. The dishes come out clean, dry and hot; the construction quality is much better on a Bosch; sure, a Bosch will cost more money but it's worth it.

Trash. GE dishwasher does not clean dishes at all. I put it on the longest cycle, cleaned the filter and cleaned the inside of the dishwasher. Leaves little particles on the dishes. Do not buy. I had an issue right after installation and was told if we come out and find it is not an issue you will be charged a fee. I should have sent it back then.

A number of parts have melted, broken off or stopped working on this dishwasher. The front outside stainless steal panel has fallen off twice and needed to be replaced. The motor is now making a loud grinding noise and after less then 2 years, we have decided to trash this dishwasher. I will never recommend a GE to anyone and this company should be ashamed to sell this product to families who are trying to simply provide clean dishes to their families.

Dishes don’t get fully clean. Door seal pops off EVERY time. Materials are flimsy. Wire rack constantly falling out. Complete and utter garbage. Can’t believe GE which used to be a household name is capable of creating such GARBAGE.

Biggest purchasing regret of my life so far is purchasing an appliance with GE. Who has horrible customer service and their warranty for the appliances isn’t much of a warranty at all. We had a profile dishwasher for 2 days before it broke and it’s been 6 weeks and still no resolvement has happened. Technicians came out to replace parts that didn’t work. Was told after 3 service calls we would get a full replacement if deemed unfixable.

End of July 2024, I purchased a General Electric Dishwasher Model #GDF535PGR6CC. The door seal popped out with every wash, the dishes weren't cleaned, the bottom rack was unstable and fell out (no track on the opened door), and the rollers fell off. I called GE and wanted a return but they insisted on "repair" techs. Twice I had them out and was told by each, "This is the cheapest model we make." The did what I did--punch the door seal back in with a finger.

I bought my house new in 1994 so my GE Potscrubber 580 is now 31 years old. I’ve never had any problems with it! It washes the dishes and pots really well with no streaking and is relatively quiet. My 80 year old Mom lived with me in her last years and said in all the houses she lived in, the GE model was the best. The only thing I will need to do soon is replace the racks as they are somewhat worn. I do run a lemon vinegar mix through it about every 3 months to keep it fresh! I won’t buy a new one until this one stops working….and it will be another GE!

The dishwasher is almost silent which is wonderful and washes very nicely with an option for 1 hour wash without drying or a 2 hour wash with drying. It also has a setting that can heat the water if needed. From this point of view I have no hesitation in recommending this particular model. It is slightly smaller than others which I needed.

I compliment GE for responding to my complaint on their website regarding the racks. They made suggestions of alternate ways to stack dishes which have improved the situation. Also I replaced their cutlery holder with the one from my old dishwasher as it is 1 inch smaller and allows me to stack my dinner plates. My dinner plates are large and soup/dessert bowls have a large rim. Both of these things cause trouble. Again, kudos to GE for a prompt reply and solution to my problem.

General Electric dishwashers now suck apparently and the older ones are built to last you for a while and even work well. Now we just replaced our dishwasher only a year ago in November 2023 and it does not clean the dishes and it stops. It stops occasionally washes, extremely annoying and inconvenient. They purposely make appliances bad because they’re trying to get the most money out of consumers. That’s honestly sad. There are times that we aren’t. I have the money to replace things are we just need to work. And I don’t have time for a guy with an attitude to come out And try and face it and then blame us for why the dishwasher doesn’t work well.

I recently purchased a GE dishwasher GDF460PGT online from a local big box store to replace an older GE model. The GE specification on the retailer's site said about this DW: "it's consistent performance will give you totally clean and dry dishes with every cycle"..."uses industry-leading Dry Boost technology to remove water from hard-to-dry items like plastics" and continues with "this dishwasher consistently delivers completely dry dishes". Unfortunately I was soon to find out that NONE of this was true.

Do not buy this dishwasher! It is extremely difficult to start. It takes several attempts, you must lean into it and hold the door for at least 30 seconds for it to run. The tines will not stay up at all. The pump went out in the first few months.

This dishwasher gets dishes clean but we have two exact same ones that spit water out the front. This one damaged my brand new kitchen wood baseboard. And it LOCKS without being prompted and harder than heck to unlock. I had to shut power off to it to unlock. Would not unlock holding any button for three seconds. So frustrating!

Purchased our dishwasher under a month ago 10/6/2024. The control panel started making choices on its own. It locked and went on a delay that could not be changed. Called and spent over an hour trying to fix the issue on the phone. Nothing they suggested worked, we agreed that the panel may need replaced. We set up a service call for next day, thought all was well, then received a call from the repair company they use and they said could not come out until next week Monday (1 day shy of a week). This is not acceptable at all! Will not buy a GE product again.

The GE 24" dishwasher is a total waste of money. I purchased model #GDF535PGRWW in June 2022. It is October 2024 and the racks have rusted and it no longer adequately cleans. I've cleaned the filter numerous times but, but still dirty have dishes. I've begun using 2 soap tablets and the jet-dry liquid but everything ends up with a dirty film. Don't waste your money on this appliance.

The dishwasher cleaned dishes effectively; however, after two years of use it broke a number of times, so we incurred costly repairs, and now need to buy a new appliance. The drain pump broke. The circuit board broke. Gaskets broke.

I bought a GE dishwasher, paid over $1,159. Now just 3 years later it’s not working and repairs are going to cost $453… I guess that’s cheaper than buying a new one. But $500 a year ownership sucks. My Sears dishwasher lasted more than 16 years, wish I had it back.

Over $1200 for a Profile dishwasher. Started leaking after warranty ran out. Service wants $268 to repair. GE is a piece of crap. Profile range glass door shattered during oven cleaning cycle. They want $700+ to repair. Save your money and buy another make. Do your research. GE APPLIANCES STINK AND ARE MADE TO BREAK. Most dishwashers sold in the U.S. are made in the U.S. Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and IKEA dishwashers are made at the world's largest dishwasher factory, located in Findlay, Ohio. Stay away from GE.

I purchased a GE dishwasher, model GDT630PMRES. Install went well until it was time to hook up the water supply. This dishwasher has a cheap nylon/plastic fitting for a GARDEN HOSE connection. It is impossible to make that connection without it leaking. I am so fed up with this cheap Chinese junk. Who was the idiot that spec'd a crappy nylon fitting for a critical component? You saved 30 cents and lost a lifetime GE buyer in the process.

I've been using a GE dishwasher for several years now, and it continues to impress me with its reliability and efficiency. From large family dinners to everyday use, this dishwasher has been a workhorse in my kitchen, consistently delivering clean dishes without fail.

GE Profile dishwashers have a weak point, every one fails in 2-3 years. They have a rubber elbow you cannot buy on the pump motor that disintegrates and floods your home. Do some research before you buy. I wish I did.

GE is the worst company I have dealt with in many years. I purchased a dishwasher and within a few months it was not working. I contacted the store and they said to contact GE before the warranty (one year) was up. It was only about 6 months at the time. The service tech came out and told me to wash the dishes before you can use the dishwasher. There can be not even one piece of food. He pointed to a piece of corn in the dishwasher. I told him that was ridiculous and he did not seem to care. They did nothing for me and a consider this a rip-off directly from the manufacturer.

I am extremely unhappy with the lack of service I received… I called looking for help prior to posting an extremely low review of your product: our GE Profile dishwasher-We are a family of 5 who recently had to have renovations completed post Hurricane Irma and are now faced with having to yet again repair/replace our just under 3yr old dishwasher.

Got a brand new GE Profile dishwasher. Before the year was over, it stopped working. Had to struggle with customer service to stop by. They finally did.. It needed to be replaced. After months of waiting for replacement, he has to fight to get a new one. Since then we have had to reset it.. Now it stops working again. Just the worst appliances! Don’t bother with this brand!

BUYER BEWARE! Purchased this dishwasher 2 years and 8 months ago because it had a 3rd drawer and was stainless steel inside. Paid almost $800.00 with the protection plan included. The 3rd door stopped working and it is under warranty. So I set up repair appointment and technician came and took pictures and left. Today I get a email saying repair denied because of rust. The technician told me there isn’t even a part that can be purchased, because the rust is on the interior bin. I would need a new bin. So basically don’t waste your money on a warranty, they know it will rust within 2 years and deny, deny, and deny all claims. SHAME ON GE, totally unacceptable!

GE had developed a terrible reputation some years ago for its appliances. I stayed away from them altogether for more than a decade. Then I thought I'd try again. So I bought a GE dishwasher for a rental property. The control panel failed within 2 years. The appliance repair service that replaced it said they go bad all the time. Turns out, I had 2 more GE dishwasher control panels fail within the span of 2 months (1 at the rental, 1 in the home I just move into, 1 at a rental property my father owned and I'm managing). I replaced the control panel. Then the door seal failed and the bottom washer arm failed. It's now 3 years old and headed for the landfill. And I'm back to my personal ban on GE appliances.
