This page covers the GFC720 series as a family, because GE sold it across revisions rather than as a single fixed model. The bigger motor tolerates more abuse than the entry models, so when one of these does fail it is more often a seal or a bearing than a jam.
Water weeping from the seam in the middle of the body means the internal seal has gone and the unit is finished; no parts fix that economically. Jams and overload trips are still the routine calls, and the safe owner sequence is wall switch off, breaker off, clear with tongs, reset.
Key Features
- Upper-range continuous-feed Disposall series
- Sold as a series; the suffix on the body label identifies the revision
- Larger motor than the entry GFC models in the same line
- Dishwasher inlet and base reset as on the rest of the line
