    14 months after buying Whirlpool dishwasher wdt730hamz the start button has become unresponsive. The company takes no ownership of their faulty products, and of course the issue comes up 2 months after the warranty runs out. I have seen many people online posting about the same issue.

    Maytag/Whirlpool dishwasher (MDB4949SKZ) failed prematurely. The circulation motor, a core component, broke after just 3 years. Repair would have cost $420, but the company refused any goodwill reimbursement, even after escalation and BBB involvement. This experience shows poor product durability and unresponsive customer support. I replaced the unit immediately, but I will never purchase Whirlpool, Maytag, or affiliated brands again.

      So after being on the phone for almost two hours. Being transferred 4 times. The solution was a monthly payments of 32 dollars for 12 months, for a 2 year old dishwasher! Before they could send anyone out to fix it they want your MONEY. It’s probably an easy fix but as a consumer we will never know. Companies like this need to be put out of business and the CEO needs to be fired or sued. I get things happen but from what I've read online it’s not just me. These companies don't want your appliances to last! They make them to break so that you will give them more money. Absolutely sad world we live in these days. Everyone in the world is starting to catch on to these predatory companies. A dishwasher that's almost $1000 dollars should be build to last.

      Dishwasher 1½ years old. Different issues make it unusable. Looks like I need need control board (about $150). Typical American support after 1 yr warranty... nothing! Too bad, I tried buying American. It's all about the $ and no concern with customer satisfaction.

      I bought their dishwasher, had it for 2 years. The start button only works when it feels like it. Called them, which took forever to try and reach a human and they want the price I paid for the dishwasher to come and repair. What a joke.

      BUYERS BEWARE. I recently bought a Whirlpool 24in Built-in tall Tub Dishwasher with 3rd rack and the top 3rd rack is not cleaning underneath the bowls because there is no spin thing underneath that 3rd rack. Model# WDPS7024RZ. Horrible design. I can't believe it passed inspection because they think the middle rack spin thing can reach the top rack. I had an appliance company come out and look and he said I bought a brand new dishwasher with a weak motor and it needs to be replaced. That's why the dishes are not getting cleaned. I called Home Depot where I bought it and they said, "Well there is a 48 HOUR RETURN policy at Home Depot for appliance returns so call the manufacturer company. We are not taking it back." I guess buy only from appliance stores only and not Home Depot!!!!

      Bought a Whirlpool dishwasher from Lowe's. Broke down twice. The second time was shortly after warranty expired the pump they replaced earlier had been leaking under my vinyl floor so now I have to replace floor and dishwasher and it won't be a whirlpool. They are junk.

      Terrible service. My new Maytag dishwasher came with the wrong bottom rack. It is not what I paid for nor would I want a bottom rack with 2 or 3 rows of missing tines. I contacted Whirlpool For the correct bottom rack. After waiting 2 weeks I received 1 wheel for the bottom rack. I called whirlpool back and they said, "Sorry we will get you the correct bottom rack but it’s back ordered and that’s why your Maytag dishwasher has a KitchenAid rack." Great I thought. On the order confirmation in my email I am getting not a bottom rack but a Silverware basket and 4 wheels. Wow.

      I’ve had a problem with our Whirlpool dishwasher from the beginning! Our issue is with the top spinner breaking! We called the company and they said that first they ever heard of that? I see on the internet it’s a big issue! I will never buy anything with Whirlpool or their sister companies! You get what you pay for. Get a Bosch and you’ll be over the moon.

      Is there any rating that is less than a ZERO? That is what WHIRLPOOL deserves based on my experiences with this company. I bought a new house with a Whirlpool dish washer. From day one this dishwasher never worked. I was asked to call ASI - a company that does all the Whirlpool appliance repairs. ASI works hand in hand with Whirlpool. ASI made several trips to my house to repair a brand new dishwasher. ( AT LEAST 8 VISITS) They replaced the soap dispensing unit and INSTRUCTED ME NOT TO USE THE SOAP AND RINSE AID THAT CAME WITH THE DISHWASHER. I stopped using it and bought a different kind of soap.

      There was no way of removing the rinse aid from the dishwasher according to them, so how am I supposed to stop using the rinse aid? I was told to wait until it runs out. Whirlpool believe that it was the rinse aid that was preventing the dishwasher from washing the dishes properly.

      By this time, my warranty is about to run out and the dishwasher still has a lot of rinse aid in it. I was told by Whirlpool to call them when the rinse aid runs out, and that since this is an ongoing issue, they would honor the request even after the warranty. So I called Whirlpool when the rinse aid was out, only to be told that "Sorry we can't help you because your appliance is out of warranty. You need to buy an extended warranty from us in order to fix your dishwasher." I reminded them of their promises and told them that I was not going to pay them to extend my pain and frustration with their dishwasher.

      Whirlpool promised to replace the appliance after 4 repairs, and they refused to honor that. They made over 8 trips to my house. I have never been so heartbroken in my life. Please think twice before considering a whirlpool product. They say one thing and do the other. As for me, my household, friends, and neighbors, we are staying away from whirlpool products!!!
