GE Dishwasher Safety Notice - please read
I just received this safety notice from GE:
This recall includes 2.5 million dishwasher manufactured from September 1997 to 2001. The liquid rinse -aid in some models results in a concentration of rinse-aid on the wires inside the dishwasher door. In the affected models, the rinse-aid can degrade the insulation on the wiring inside the door, which can cause an electrical short, overheating or fire if the wires come in contact with the metal door.
GE has received 135 reports of overheated wiring and 56 reports of propoerty damage, including 12 reports of fire that escaped the dishwasher. Fire damage was limited to the dishwasher or the adjacent area. No injuries have been reported
The website for more about the recall is:

Please forward this information on for people to check to see if their dishwasher is part of the recall. There are a lot of different brands included in this recall.

I have a dishwasher made in that period but no problems and also sold about 100 units and no complaints yet. Maybe the origin of the defective dishwashers should be traced and the producer fined.

I had the high-end Kenmore that is included and it did have the problem. It didn't fully short but the area around the latch stayed hot, as in warm, all of the time. I took the $300 and went and bought a new one.
