A:AnswerHello,
This is Michelle with GE and I am happy to help.
This dishwasher model GDT580SSFSS has two removable filters that should be periodically inspected and cleaned manually. These filters are not self-cleaning.
Thank you for checking

A:AnswerHello Patrick, This is Joyce from GE Appliances. If the countertop is granite or a similar material that will not accept wood screws. You will want to use the side mounting brackets. Break off the front portion of the tab with pliers at the location shown, prior to attaching to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for complete instructions. Thanks so much for checking with us. Have a good day!
A:AnswerHello pinkp - this is Nancy at GE Appliances. We're sorry to hear that the dishwasher you like apparently had some parts on backorder. While this is an unusual occurrence, it has happened occasionally. I understand your concern with hearing a negative comment regarding an appliance you may have an interest in. We can assure you that GE is committed to quality and should an unusual situation occur, we take action on a case-by-case basis. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerYes, the dishwasher has a very strong chemical odor. The odor was even on our dishes. We had to rewash our dishes in extremely hot water to remove the smell.
We have run our dishwasher multiple times and it has not gotten any better. Avoid GE products!
A:AnswerHello Cassiebelle - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. Our stainless steel dishwasher tubs resist stains and corrosion, and along with the upscale appearance, the stainless steel tub uses bitumen (a more efficient sound deadening material). I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
