Is There A Recall On Ge Dishwasher Model Pdwt180rss?
We purchased the PDWT180R22 dishwashwer for our new home last year. The dishwasher has never even nearly cleaned the dishes completely. We basically have to wash them before putting them in the dishwasher for them to come out without food and stains on them. We have verified that the water hardness and temperature meets the requirements in the user's guide. We were told that there was a recall on this dishwasher. What is the next step in either getting a replacement or repair?
