This dishwasher is replacing another GE dishwasher that was only 5 years old.  We had replaced the mother board in the previous one yearly.  Had to get another GE because of the Slate color (wife's orders).  This dishwasher was about $300 cheaper than the last one.  My only part of the deal with the wife....lol.  Although the other one was a yearly mother board expense it seemed to be built better, maybe tighter is a better word.  The racks were nicer, this one just seems cheaper but it washes the dishes & is the correct color......
