Sometimes those old GE Potscrubbers, or KitchenAid (Hobarts) will run for decades. Most of today's machine's probably won't. The older ones may not be as efficient or aesthetically pleasing, they don't usually have microchips and other items that break down .
I agree. If i remember correctly (this was my parents house and its been a few years) the garbage disposal did not work so I replaced it and the dishwasher had some issues as well. The dishwasher was also incredibly loud. Unfortunately as well built as the older appliances were, they do tend to be very loud compared to new models that have managed to reduce the decibel level
I noticed your old washer had 3 electric wires, but the new washer has 4. I have the same new type of washer. How did you connect them? You skipped showing the electric connection.
I skipped showing the connections because it was basically impossible to get a camera angle to see what I was doing since it is like a inch off the floor. Honestly I do not remember how I did the connection, this video is almost two years old. I installed this washer at my parent's house and they have since sold this house so I cannot even go look at it. The instructions on new washers typically have very good step by step instructions that will explain how to handle the wiring process based off what situation you have going on for powering the washer.
The National Electrical Code is funny because it is in fact not national. Its up to the states to adopt it and 6 states don't adopt it at a state level and allow local government to adopt it. Also any house built before the code comes into affect is exempt from the new rules so it only affects new construction. So for you the dishwasher may need its own 20 amp circuit. But for me so long as the dishwasher and disposal do not combine to pull more than 20 amps than they can be on the same circuit. I have never lived in a house where the dishwasher was on its own stand alone circuit, the fridge yes but dishwasher no.
So funny this was our old dishwasher! Thank you for the video. We now have a GE upgrade.

Thanks! I am replacing one exactly like this!

Modern dishwashers now just plug into an outlet under the sink cabinet - along with the garbage disposal.
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
I thought code for dishwasher was it needed its own 20 circuit, couldn’t be shared
