Cleans Extremely Well - I dislike the rack design
on December 17, 2025
Posted by: GaryKM
After using the GE Dishwasher Model GDT535PYV6FS for some time, I have mixed feelings about its performance and design. On the positive side, the dishwasher does an excellent job cleaning dishes, leaving them spotless after every cycle. Although it’s rated with a standard noise level, I found it to be surprisingly quiet while running, which is great for open-concept spaces or late-night use.
I appreciate the thoughtful features like the amber light on the door panel, which indicates when the machine is running a cycle, and turns white once washing and drying are complete. This visual cue is helpful for knowing at a glance when the dishes are done. Another nice touch is the tilted glass and cup holder, which ensures water drains off the bottom, helping prevent water spots.
Features I Dislike
• The biggest drawback for me is the tilted bottoms of both the upper and lower racks. While the manual includes photos of different loading options, I still struggle to fit plates and bowls due to this design. Loading dishes was much easier with my older GE dishwasher.

• The rinse aid dispenser is another area of frustration. It uses a domed transparent bubble cap that turns opaque when full and is clear when empty or low. This design makes it difficult to judge how much rinse aid remains. My previous model had a floating bar that clearly showed levels from full to empty, which was much more intuitive.
• The included owner’s manual was only two pages and lacked any real instructions for operating the dishwasher. I had to go online to the GE website and download a 14-page PDF manual to figure out the basics. I worry that some new customers might not think to do this and could be left without essential information. The “getting started” section of the manual is also confusing. It lists 16 different options that may or may not apply to your specific model. I had to go through and check off the ones relevant to my dishwasher, which turned out to be a frustrating and time-consuming process.
Overall, while the GE GDT535PYV6FS performs well in terms of cleaning dishes, the process of loading the racks and navigating the controls takes some getting used to. If you value quiet operation and effective cleaning, this model delivers, but be prepared for a learning curve when it comes to loading dishes and using the various features.

The dishwasher works as advertised. I would have liked for the spoon tray to have guides that keep the spoons separated from each other
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our new GE. Dishwasher is easy to operate, and very quiet. We are happy consumers.
Response from geappliances.comBy Adrian, GE_Appliances, March 12, 2026
We are happy that you have found this dishwasher easy to operate. This dishwasher has a Dry Boost feature that we are confident you'll use frequently. With the Dry Boost feature, this dishwasher is the best drying dishwasher in its class and gets dishes 7x drier. We hope this dishwasher continues to serve you for years to come.

Leaked
on February 21, 2026
Posted by: RPar
Dishwasher leaked after installation because of a loose clamp on the discharge pump. This is unsatisfactory and a symptom of poor workmanship and quality control when products are assembled. Would have returned it but it was already installed. Very disappointed in the purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cheaply made
on March 3, 2026
Posted by: Tevia5
Very noisy. It’s very light so the door feels like it’s not a good quality plus the racks are also very light and cheap.
