Today my almost 15-year old GE Potscrubber 1100 seems to have stopped
working. The motor didn't seem to start. I can faintly hear it trying,
but nothing happens. The detergent compartment opened and the bottom
seemed to fill half-way with warm water, but nothing beyond that
happened...

Do I need to buy a new one?

Any suggestions?

Thank you.


You don't need to, but you may want to. Repairs can cost from $50 to $250
and get you going, but another component may fail in a day, a week, or a
year. At 15, it is beyond normal life expectancy.

As for new models, most anything you buy today will clean as well as the
best of 15 years ago. More money does equal more feature, hopefully longer
life, but not much in the way of cleaner dishes.

Check you local dealer. Most now belong to buyer's co-ops and can sell at
about the same price as the big store and they usually give much better
service.
