I'll bet he nor the electrician tested the original. The sparky found the loose and then not connected neutral and that apparently lit up the new GFCI. The old one is probably in the trash and is likely still good.

AFA as testing a power cord when what it's powering is not running will show no continuity, so that replacement was another exercise in vain. A quirky neutral can play havoc with a circuit board, so all seems well at this point except for the DW.

I see them all the time on CL and newer ones at that. People are constantly remodeling and selling off perfectly good appliances just so the new kitchen has an all matching suite of appliances.

I could give a siht less and have a Wolf range, a Kitchen Aid fridge and GE DW. Plus different brand counter appliances. I buy what works best and used if available.

Kinda like a leased car being sold post lease. You pretty well know any problems have been addressed and you still get a warranty. Win win.
