Anyone else have trouble with these GE dishwashing machines?
Mine cleans dishes well enough, but the gaskets leak easier than any other dishwasher I've ever had. I replaced the gaskets a few months ago, but if a little bit of debris builds up then it's leaking again. Also, the racks are badly corroded, but the machine is only maybe five years old. Anyway, it's just kind of funny that my aunt is coming over tomorrow and the last time she was here she noticed the dishwasher was leaking.
Builder grade and contractor grade are interchangeable.
One thing to check is that the machine is leveled properly. If it's not, the frame will flex and cause leaks.
I have a GE Quiet Power 2 dishwasher that I bought second hand 5+ years ago and that thing has been rock solid. All I've had to do is replace the plastic strainer on the bottom with a stainless steel one after it warped from being close to the heating element, and replace a rubber hose going to the pump after a mouse ate a hole in it.
