Hi there, and thanks for reaching out. We truly hate to hear you have concerns over the dishwasher transferring heat, and feel that it makes too much noise – we know issues like this may be frustrating, and regret any inconvenience caused.

Our dishwashers are designed to maintain safe operating temperatures, and are compliant with both our own strict standards and UL standards. But depending on the cycle and option combinations, it is possible surrounding cabinets and counters may feel warm when a cycle is completed. We also expect some noise as the dishwasher operates, including possible beeping at the end of the cycle, motor noises, etc. If it might be helpful, we have a list of possible noises the dishwasher may make on page 22 of the manual, linked here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-4000218-2.pdf& .

Your feedback will be sent to our team for review; your insights are truly appreciated, as we always want to know what our consumers think of our models for future development. We are happy to help any time if you have any other concerns or questions. -Sarah@GEA
