The GE PDW8400 series, which includes the models PDW8400JBB, PDW8400JCC, and PDW8400JWW, represents a key lineup in GE's portfolio of dishwashers. These models are designed to bring efficiency and performance to the kitchen, making dishwashing a hassle-free task.

One of the standout features of the PDW8400 series is its Capacity. These dishwashers offer an ample amount of space, which can accommodate large loads, making them ideal for families or those who frequently entertain guests. The flexible loading options allow users to configure the interior racks to maximize space, ensuring that everything from oversized pots to delicate glassware can be efficiently cleaned.

In terms of technological innovations, the PDW8400 models come equipped with GE's advanced wash system.

The powerful jets combined with a high-performance motor provide a thorough clean, removing even the most stubborn food particles.

Another notable technology present in these designs is the Piranha™ Hard Food Disposer. This feature utilizes a stainless steel blade to grind food particles, minimizing the need for pre-rinsing while ensuring that the wash water remains clear.

Additional features include a variety of wash cycles tailored to specific needs. From quick washes to heavy-duty cycles, users can select the desired program based on the type of load. The models also include a Delay Start option, allowing users to schedule their dishwashing to later in the day or night when energy rates may be lower.
