Whirlpool Dishwashers Reviews

I have a KitchenAid dishwasher which is made by Whirlpool on 11/2021. The door is rusting out on the bottom and around control panel. Doesn’t look nice after a year and half. Called and no warranty on cosmetic issues.

We had a brand new Armana Dishwasher and the electronic control board was defective, causing the heating element to melt through machine. Whirlpool was kind enough to replace the unit, but the delivery was a complete disaster. Since it was a week day appointment, my tenant had to work, so I took the day off and drove 120 miles to the house. I made several calls to Whirlpool, the warehouse and the delivery center during the day to try to find out an exact time instead of waiting outside for 4 hours.

They wrote this to me in response to my email complaint: "Sometimes service companies may use various contacts for supplying Whirlpool repair parts. There may be times that the part distributor they have utilized does not have the component available immediately, even when that part is available directly from Whirlpool."

Whirlpool. Avoid. UPDATE! Bought a Whirlpool dishwasher from Costco. The control panel failed. Tech was out on 5/10. Whirlpool can not locate the part some eight weeks later. They are unwilling to fix/replace the machine! I have called several times only to hear they have a process they are following??!! Avoid purchasing a Whirlpool product. UPDATE: After a two-month wait for the part, it was installed only to fail again after one load! Called Whirlpool and Costco who have set me up for another appointment. So frustrating. Technician came. Needs parts that are on backorder as well. Looks like another eight weeks. Still refusing to replace the machine!

Bought WDF520PADM dishwasher brand new with our home only 7 months ago. About 3 weeks ago noticed the dishes were not cleaning well, then it all together stopped working. Would fill the bottom, nothing further. Repairman was here today and it needs a new motor! He said 3-4 more days for parts, if not backlogged. Luckily it's still under warranty. 7 months, used 3-4 times a week, motor shot.

Buyers beware, bought a expensive dishwasher that is only 18 months old, started throwing a code. Had a technician come out. Said it was leaking from pinholes in the stainless steel tub. He took pictures and went to the dealer that we bought it from to see if they could do anything. They said it was said it was a factory defect, so they contacted their rep and he refused to do anything about it, they tried for over a month and he just quit responding to them, Same thing happened to me. Called several times, same thing. Would not stand behind it. I will never buy another Whirlpool product, they do not care about their customers or their dealers that are selling their crappy products!!

Pretty expensive dishwasher made mostly of flimsy plastic. I am very disappointed with this product. Wish I had done a little research before purchasing. The plastic may not last maybe a year. Even the bottom stand is that flimsy plastic. Never seen anything like it before.

I should have had better judgment, but I didn't know how old the original Whirlpool dishwasher in my kitchen was since it came with the home that I bought in 2019. When it stopped working in Feb 2022, I purchased another Whirlpool dishwasher all the appliance with the same brand. Big mistake because 10 months later in November the dishwasher stopped draining. Since November, I have had about 5 service repairs. The dishwasher is still not draining. They blamed it on a defective sensor and even my food grinder.

Huge recall needed on dishwashers and heating element. Whirlpool customer service doesn’t work on weekends and if you need appliance support have to use their people which takes a week. Cost me $1000’s.

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher less than two years ago and now is broken. Very disappointing and expensive. For a $800.00 dishwasher, $400.00 repair for a new pump. Look at other brand.

Bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher Model WDT750SAKZ in June of 2022. It worked well for nearly 5 months until it didn’t work at all with a flashing error code of E FE- no such code in the manual; it took over a month for us to get an appointment with a service provider (the 1st provider that didn’t show went out of business before the technician was dispatched) 4 months, 3 holidays w/out a dishwasher, we are in February 2023 now. The service provider has been here four times and he seems very knowledgeable about dishwashers. In between visits we waited for new parts to arrive twice - with COVID delays I can accept long waits for parts and service, not my issue.

We own a Whirlpool dishwasher and fortunately, we use it often because In the month it was going to lose its warranty the pump died. Also the silverware rack was designed so that it's impossible to put silverware past the soap holder regardless of its in its designated spot, and pulling the silverware rack out is very difficult because there aren't stoppers on the sides of the holding buttons. Basically, it was designed by a retard.

We bought a 1400.00 refrigerator /freezer earlier this year. The freezer stops working, sometimes for days at a time. Trying to talk to someone at Whirlpool is impossible. We can leave our number for a callback in a week. The earliest service call is in two weeks. This is no way to run a business and you can be sure we will NEVER buy anything from whirlpool again.

Don't buy a Whirlpool product, you will regret it. We read the reviews at the Lowe's store and bought what was supposed to be a top rated top of the line dishwasher. We should have looked further. First mistake, buying from Lowe's. Don't do that. The machine was delivered and installed by Lowe's. It leaked. The installer came back and said "not our fault factory defect". The factory rep came next, he claimed installer had left a clamp off. Two weeks later he came to install that, it still leaked.

In February 2019 we bought 4 new Whirlpool appliances, from our local Best Buy store. Gas Range, Side by Side Refrigerator, Dishwasher, and convection Microwave. In July of 2019, the Refrigerator stopped working while we were away on vacation. Then in November 2019, the gas Range quit. Both these appliances were covered, fixed, under warranty, except for the spoiled food in our refrigerator. Then in February of 2021, the dishwasher quit. Since February of 2021, we have changed 2 Control Boards, and two wash pump motors, now this last control board has failed. And now replacements are OUT OF STOCK everywhere. Whirlpool has not held up to the quality appliance it once was. You’ve been warned. Buyer beware.

I bought a full kitchen suite of Whirlpool based on reputation. 2 years and my dishwasher died. The tech came out and said it was a sump assembly and control board. Went on to say he probably changed 50 in last 2 years. Called Whirlpool and they said "Nothing we can do for you and there is no history and bulletins. You should have bought a warranty." I didn't buy one because of the reputation. Big mistake. Whirpool's quality seems to have taken a dive and they don't care.

Bought a brand new Whirlpool dishwasher. 3 Loads and it already set an alarm off and wouldn't run anymore. Had installers come out and look at it and they showed me how it was leaking from the side of the dishwasher (bad seal obviously). Called place where I bought unit and they told me I had to call Whirlpool as they will not replace without a service call. No technicians available and was told someone would get back to me within 7 days (longer than I have had the unit). No response and I called back.

Just purchased my WP Diswasher at PC Richards last Sept. As a matter of fact mine is running as I type. Forgot it was Operating. Extremely quiet. And it cleans flawlessly. Maybe these customers bought very low end models or something happened during installation. We're all human. Well I highly recommend this brand. They have been around for some time and I trust them. Samsung, LG tvs yes. Not when it comes to appliances that work for a living. Dishwashers, refrigerators, ranges etc.

Purchased a new Home from Del Webb. Not a great experience, many issues from the initial contract through follow up items. We have been in the house for 2 1/2 months. The Kitchen aide dishwasher has never worked. Pulte would not take any responsibility they said we had to work with Whirlpool. Whirlpool is actually worse than Pulte, had a service rep come out 2 weeks after first reported, said it needed a new motherboard and pump. They ordered the parts and said when they show up call us and we will come back to replace.

I bought a Whirlpool 18 inch dishwasher WDF518SAHW in February 2021. In June 2021 it broke down with an E4 error code displaying. Whirlpool sent a technician from Toronto Appliance Service. The tech verbally advised me that there is a design flaw with the appliance where the sensor trips too easily so this issue will happen every 6 months. Unfortunately, he didn't tell Whirlpool that so they refused to exchange the product. 8 months later, in February 2022, the E4 error code appeared again. Whirlpool sent a tech from Ignite who replaced the sump pump. Now in August 2022, I am getting the same issue for the 3rd time and all they're offering is a 35% discount off a new purchase from their brand family; Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchen-Aid, Amana or Jenn-Air. Perhaps the one I received just happens to be a bad apple but the way that Whirlpool is handling it is why I would never trust another purchase from them again.

Had a new Whirlpool dishwasher installed in my new home. Failed after one year due to steam getting into the control panel. Whirlpool repairs it but it failed again in 3 months. It never really cleaned well even early on. Going to replace with a different brand, hopefully without a serious design flaw. Dishwashers create steam and are wet, damage to electronics due to either of these is an engineering failure. The user manual is useless gibberish. I would recommend against this brand.

I bought this dishwasher less than two years ago from the Whirlpool local distributor/ authorized dealer (not HomeDepot). The unit broke under normal operating conditions and their dealer said it needed a new motor and power control module. Cost $580 for repair. The authorized dealer wired the control board backwards so that the dishwasher needs a new control board for about $300. So over $880 to fix. I wish I had never bought this brand. I see other customers have had similar problems and complaints.

Whirlpool is absolutely horrible. Less than 2 year old dishwasher and the wash motor assembly broke. Wanted another $300 plus labor to get it repaired. Customer Service is a nightmare. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BRAND. You're welcome in advance.

I live alone so dishwasher (model KDTE234GPS) gets less than average usage. Four years to the date the main part (washer pump) dies. Customer service does nothing except offering 40% off a new machine! What are these things. Disposable?? You'd think a $1000 machine would last more than four years.

Ok so, it worked great...till it literally exploded 12 months after we bought it for almost $700. I was so excited to get this thing. It cost a lot of money. I was so happy to get it, I blew a ton of money on an expensive, not necessary thing. Long story short, always get the extended warranty. It seems like the steam from the heated dry probably ruined the circuitry of the computer inside. I don't know if the seal broke or what. Either way, it was past the 1 year (ONE YEAR????) warranty and there was nothing they could do...Yay....A replacement computer and subsequent repairs would cost me $200 for the part, and even more for the labor. Ugh.

Three exactly the same repairs; company won't repair now without cost to us because warranty has "expired." This appliance is a lemon; learned a lesson; won't be purchasing Whirlpool appliances again!

I went and bought a Whirlpool. It cleans great. Even dishes. I would have had to wash by hand with the other one, cleans great even on the top rack. Very happy.

We bought this dishwasher to replace our old one. Install was fine. Until the installer turned the machine on. Water cascaded from the bottom of the door. Just replaced this morning, and another waterfall, same place. Very disappointed. Will be returning to HD to get a full refund and replace with a different brand.

I have a 3 yrs. old Whirlpool dishwasher. First issue accrued 1 1/2 ago when I had to change motherboard then one of the sprayers had to be replaced and now that thing is leaking underneath. Are you kidding me it's only 3 yrs. old. The reason I purchased Whirlpool for my new house I had Whirlpool dishwasher at my previous house for 10 yrs. without any issues, well I guess they don't make good stuff anymore, very disappointed.

I purchased a dishwasher from Menards. It was a top of the line Whirlpool Dishwasher. We ordered new cabinets for a kitchen upgrade and when the cabinets arrived they were damaged during Thanksgiving holiday. We purchased the dishwasher and it sat in our garage until the second set of cabinets arrived in mid January.

My dishwasher quit drying and washing in hot water at Thanksgiving 2021. I could not get someone to look at it because the repair company (for Whirlpool) could not get to it until January 2022. The repair tech said it was it could be three different things. He was going to order all three parts. Three weeks later, they came to repair it. It still didn’t work and I hate to wait two different days (all day) for service. First day, he didn’t make it so had to schedule for next week. He replaced the other two parts. It now works by still doesn’t dry like it should. Not thrilled with performance at all!

Finally saved $ to remodel kitchen & to upgrade to stainless appliances. Bought & installed 12/2019, worked well 1st year. By 6/2021, excessive water on interior after cycle ended; 1st warranty guy said it was because I have a water softener and should not be using rinse aid (softener installed 2002 & never a problem). He also said I should try other brands of detergent. He also said it might be the tankless water heater. Water heater serviced: no problems, working perfect. 12/2021 after using every brand available, interior and dishes were completely wet, even 4 hrs after cycle ended. 1/2022 2nd warranty call, different company sent out. He said I have extremely hard water and should only use liquid detergent (only 1/2 amount in tray) and must use rinse aid. He said I should have softener serviced since it appeared to not be working.

I purchased a Whirlpool Dishwasher in late 2020. Within a week of having the dishwasher installed, I found a water leak with the product. I contacted Whirlpool immediately. Below is a record of all the encounters I’ve had with the company. The first repair technician came and could not find anything wrong with the product and left. The dishwasher kept leaking for a month, so I scheduled Whirlpool to repair it. The second technician came and tried to repair the dishwasher. The dishwasher kept leaking for a couple of months so again I called Whirlpool for repair. Because the company from the first two technicians were fully booked for the next couple of months, Whirlpool scheduled a third technician from another company. The third technician could not fix the issue.

I've had this dishwasher for 1 yr and 4 months. It's been used properly and kept clean. The motor quit. A dishwasher that only lasted a little over a year. Cheap piece of junk. I spent over $800.00 with installation. I will never buy a Whirlpool dishwasher again. Try and call Whirlpool and someone in India will politely read from a manual and waste your time. Useless!!!

Our original dishwasher lasted many years and did a good job until it didn't. We replaced it with this one that we found at Home Depot. It is not the one we wanted but the delivery was months away and this one was in stock. It does a good job in cleaning the dishes. The only issue I have is that the top rack is not designed for large mugs or glasses. The wine glass holder has 3 slots, but we can only get two in based on the spacing. Also, our mugs don't fit, well on the other side, inside the fingers. Maybe our dishes are on the larger side...I don't think so but like I said earlier, it does a good job cleaning the dishes.

I bought all Whirlpool appliances for my new home. The dishwasher is quiet but, is limited with features. The worst part is no matter what cycle you choose it never dries the dishes and it smells constantly. We know it is connected properly with very good water pressure. My husband was a license Master Plumber and he oversaw the plumbing & install.

I bought a Kitchenaid dishwasher (It is owned by Whirlpool) from Trail Appliances. After 11 month the machine didn't work. It was under warranty. It took more than two months that they sent a technician to fix it. Less than one week after repair it broke again, same problem. Now we have to wait for another two weeks for technician to come. It is tough for us without dishwasher for such a long time. I learned Whirlpool is not a reliable company and I will never purchase products from this company any more.

I bought Whirlpool Dishwasher from Lowe's. This is just 2 years old. Model number is WDTA50SAHZ. This is gently used Dishwasher. Suddenly it stopped working. After water fill up, dishwaher is not working. I thought whirlpool is superb brand. Now it's waste brand. Do not buy whirlpool dishwasher.

I’ve had the dishwasher for at least 3 yrs. if not longer. I have a long history with Whirlpool products and so far I haven’t had any problems with my past purchases. They normally wear out from age because if you take care of it normally they last for years.

I have had repairman out on two separate occasions to look at the dishwasher. It leaks. It’s unpredictable. Unless you run a full three hour cycle the dishes come out with dish soap still on them. I am very unsatisfied with this dishwasher.

After 14 years of good service with Whirlpool Duet front load washer dryer set, wife chose Whirlpool kitchen appliances as part of a kitchen update project. All matching fridge, range, microwave hood and dishwasher. What a nightmare! The icemaker growls and whines all the time and the dishwasher was broken before being packaged at the manufacturer. A wheel from the middle rack was missing when the dishwasher was opened. It wasn't in the sealed dishwasher nor in the box. So it had to have been broken off before the item was boxed. We called for warranty claim and A-1 Appliance was recommended out of Shreveport, LA. In a few weeks he showed up, looked at the rack for a while and said "I'll have to order a new part." I said fine. (How hard can that be? Right?) So here we are 5 months later, unable to use the middle rack because it can't hold any weight with the roller missing.

My dishwasher was only 18 months old when the rack adjuster broke causing the top rack to collapse. I researched and was able to order the replacement part which now comes only in metal. (The original Whirlpool piece was cheap plastic.) I spent $40 for the new part and spent several hours installing it without any help from Whirlpool. Then when I tried to use my dishwasher it wouldn’t run. Repair person came out and diagnosed it with a pump assembly failure. Part alone was $222 and it was on back order. Extremely disappointed. I have tried to contact Whirlpool to see if they would at least offer me a discount on the part. Their customer service number is never available. On hold for so long I finally gave up. Maybe I just got a lemon but I will not go with any Whirlpool product again.

I wouldn’t recommend buying Whirlpool appliances. Hot dishwasher in December used 1 month and the board went out. 3 month to get a new then they install it and they sent the wrong user interface. Wait another month. Still no call. No dishwasher. Everyone I know has issues with Whirlpool appliances that are branded as made in US yet if they truly had good components that were made in the US they would get more customers back.

The drying element went out so I called for service. I was set up with an appointment with a local appliance repair company. The company called me after I waited 2hrs and told me they can’t make the appointment, they can reschedule for 4 days from now. I called Whirlpool back and was told they were the only repair company in my area they worked with BUT if I could find a company that would do warranty work call back. So I did only to be told I would have to get the work done myself and submit a bill. BUT she says, "Let me check with someone else, please hold. I’ll be right back." I wait only to have someone from Michigan pick up and I ask, "What can I do to help you." She had no idea what I was calling about so again I go over the problem again. After 3 calls and over an hour on the phone I ended up with another appointment with the same company (Lakeshore Appliance) that stood me up the first time.

I have many rentals, and for over 39 years have always bought Whirlpool dishwashers for them and my own home. I have noticed over the last 15 years or so they are getting more and more poorly made. First I quit buying the plastic tub ones because they collected mold on the back. Then putting one in a rental, we went through 3 brand new ones that all leaked before we got a good one. Now, I bought the very best for my home 2 years ago, had the pump replaced under warranty due to leaks. Now, the plastic upper rack wheel has snapped off its plastic base. For under 30 dollars you get a replacement kit for it, that is all metal. So why didn't Whirlpool just put in the metal ones and charge a little more. So this will be my last Whirlpool, and all the brands they make. Do your research, many of the name brands you know are all made by Whirlpool.

We bought a brand new Whirlpool dishwasher around 2 years ago. Within 13 months it stopped drying dishes, silverware etc. I called customer service told the person what’s going on. Of course the warranty was up, a month prior. She said she would send a service technician out to see why it wasn’t drying. They charge 75$ a hour plus a service fee for coming out. I told her no. She said she would drop the service fee since it was only 13 months old. I asked how long he would be here, she had no idea. I didn’t make the appointment because I felt I shouldn’t have to pay anything because it was only 13 months old.

Whirlpool acknowledges our unit caught fire and wants to replace the element but they won’t acknowledge it now has a toxic burn smell throughout the plastic that can’t be eradicated. They won’t replace the unit. “Not required” says their rep.

We bought a Whirlpool dishwasher and microwave from a reputable appliance store. The dishwasher top basket broke within 30 days. The microwave lost 100% power within 30 days. Both under warranty but parts had to be ordered. Couldn't use either appliance for over a month. What is going on Whirlpool? We need a refrigerator, but I no longer trust your brand. I don't want it to quit and then lose all of our food! Please get it together and make quality products again.

I bought my Whirlpool dishwasher, model #WDF560SAFMO in Nov 2016 with a 2 year extended warranty. In Jan. 2021 it quit working, was told by repairman that the dishwasher needed a new pump. Of course, it is no longer under warranty. To replace the pump will cost almost as much as a new dishwasher.

Buyer beware. There was a class action lawsuit filed for our Whirlpool dishwasher some years ago. The control panel shorted and or overheated on ours in February of 2021, causing it to emit white plastic smelling smoke. (Glad we were home when we ran it.) I opened the door to turn it off and it continued to run, smoke and spray water all over the kitchen. Called Fire Department. Filed a complaint with Whirlpool. They sent a repair person to inspect and take photos. It's been 6 weeks and still have not received a call from them. I bought a Frigidaire. It is made by Electrolux. FYI, Kenmore is also made by Whirlpool.

Our Whirlpool dishwasher has never given us any problems and it's fairly old. When bought, we were a family of four, now we are just two. It has always cleaned the dishes very well and has dried them wonderfully. Due to the leveling mechanism there is plenty of room in there for just about anything we want to throw at it! In all, we've always been happy with it.

Our Whirlpool dishwasher works great, gets dishes clean. It is programmable so we can set it to run whenever we choose. It has 3 spinning water spreaders at different levels in the machine, which gets dishes, glasses, pots, pans, bowls, silverware very clean.

I like it because it always a clean job every time. I have it for 12 yr. now and so far I have never had a problem, when the time comes when I have to replace it I will by another Whirlpool. I think they're the best made.

It's very noisy, and there are no blankets to purchase to deaden the noise. The dishes all need to be dried by hand. Some of the dishes come out dirty. I would never purchase another Whirlpool dishwasher.

This dishwasher is the most quietest dishwasher we have ever bought. Cleans even the worst messes with ease. We love all the different modes for cleaning levels. Plus in addition the ability to adjust the racks for large capacity dishes. As well the adjustment to wash fine china and crystal. We just love it!

We have Whirlpool dishwasher for almost 10 year, very happy with the performance. This dishwasher is very quiet and also very spacious. The look and the price compared to other model is compatible and I will recommend it to other household. Thanks.

I highly recommend a Whirlpool dishwasher. Ours is a simple model. Cleans well and is quiet. It is 7 years old and I am glad we chose this model. Very happy with Whirlpool. All of our appliances are Whirlpool.

When the dishwasher that came with my condo was about to quit, I searched for a new one that would fill my needs, be reliable and quiet, self-filtering and not too expensive. Sears tried to sell me a $1,500 washer, but I found this Whirlpool for $500. It meets all my needs.

Love, love, love my dishwasher. Have never had a problem with it in the 7 years we've lived here. It was here when we moved in, and has been a perfect dishwasher for us. We're not sure how old it was when we inherited it, but it's at least 7 years old and perfect for the two of us!

The machine that I have, is easy-to-use, a lot of the companies are making those machines very sophisticated nowadays. That is why a lot of customers are having a hard time to use them. The more sophisticated, the less interested consumers will be about them. Not everyone can operate sophisticated machines.

Although we have had our Whirlpool dishwasher for about 15 years it stopped drying well about 2 years ago. We have been limping it along until we can buy another one. There doesn't seem to be stock anywhere for what we want. A good product but did have some issues with it.

My dishwasher is just under 3 years old. It has never cleaned well and doesn't dry well at all. I have replaced parts for the top rail 4x. I have 4 other Wp appliances and none are good. The plastic parts in these appliances are beyond cheap and yet they have no problem selling them at a premium. And they also do not stand by their products. Why in the world would you need an extended warranty to get you through 3 years? In other words they make crap and want you to pay them because their stuff is crap... I'm done with Whirlpool.

I have 2 dishwashers. A stainless Quiet Partner III & a plastic Quiet partner II. The Partner III never gets the glasses completely clean. The cheaper Partner II gets everything clean but has had several service issues.

It works extremely well. My wife and I have had it for several several years and no problems with it and it cleans the dishes very well. We really like the silverware holder. The right size for a family. Recommend it to anyone.

Extremely quiet machine. I love that the silverware wrack is situated across the front of the door giving plenty of space for lots of silverware. This leaves even more room in the already large washing area for pots, pans, dishes, bowl, glassware & more.

Horrible customer service. No help in trouble shooting your the appliance. Whirlpool only wanted to send a service technician. Several things have gone wrong with this dishwasher that came brand new, in a brand new house. After the year warranty is up, forget about any help from whirlpool. I would hope you would not have to purchase extended warranties on any new appliance but that doesn’t seem to be the case. My dishwasher was only three years old and on its way to dishwasher heaven. I was told by a repairman that whirlpool had a problem with their motors. Whirlpool would not confirm or deny this. I felt like I was really taken.

Whirlpool dishwashers are incredible. I've used and used whirlpool for the quality. Their appliances speak for themselves. The dishwasher comes with warranty and every time you call you get exceptional service. They also follow up with you on your appliances at all times. I've never had any problems or concerns. I stand 100 percent behind the brand and appliances.

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher for a few years, it cleans great, works great, the dishes come out clean and shiny, so do the glassware. Even pots come out nice and clean, what more can you ask for?

We have all Whirlpool appliances in our home as well as our rental property. All of the appliances are of great quality and perform extremely well. The dishwashers are both heavy duty and do a tremendous job of cleaning the dishes. Both have a jet dry feature which is extremely important to us.

Worst customer service I have ever seen. I have been waiting on a part for my dishwasher since before Thanksgiving. I have sat on hold for 2 or more hours. They cannot connect you to a supervisor, you just continue to wait on hold. They cannot give an eta for the part that has supposedly been in production since before Thanksgiving. I get told one thing, then when I call back for an update 2 weeks later that person has no idea what I'm talking about. I will tell you one thing, if you do not want a headache, I suggest you buy another product!! I can guarantee, I will let everyone I know and never purchase Whirlpool again if this is not resolved this week! After doing my research, this part should be recalled. It is a big issue with this very expensive dishwasher.

I bought a new home from DR Horton with Whirlpool appliances. All of the kitchen appliances were Whirlpool which came with a 1 year warranty. After closing on the house and getting in, started the dishwasher for the first time, it started leaking water instantly from the bottom of the unit and spilled all over the floor. Tried to contact the builder/inspector who asked us to contact Whirlpool. Called Whirlpool and I was kept on hold for over an hour before someone answered. The rep was so adamant talking all unrelated things and said that she cannot do anything for another 15 days. After escalating to the supervisor, it was the same response. The service at customer care is so bad with no fix in sight. I am not sure what they are going to do with the appliance and not sure whether they come and fix it or keep me waiting. Very unethical, the way they talk to the customers.

My wife and I purchased a brand new dishwasher less than a month ago. It stopped working after less than a month. After waiting hours on hold, the service company they sent out, went out of business before the appointment. Now after 3 months of nothing but frustration. I have written many emails and none have been replied back to. Worst customer service ever!! Not not buy Whirlpool or Kitchenaid (same company).

Within 5 months my 850$ dishwasher broke. 2 months to repair and 15 plus hours on the phone. Warranty is cryptic. You must allow them 30 business days from when they order parts. Buy Bosch, wish I did!

Purchased Whirlpool dishwasher and range approximately 16 months ago. Dishwasher must stop in middle of rinse cycle because the dishes always feel filmy and there is an inch or two of water in bottom. Must be bailed out by hand. Piece of garbage. Called Whirlpool and they can get us a service man from 8-4 (who waits an entire day these days) on New Year's Eve. Next appointment is following week to examine and will fix (if it is their fault and for a fee). The last two dishwashers I purchased lasted 10 and 7 years respectively. Stay away if you don't want bad equipment, uncooperative service, and aggravation. Range I bought was OK but the oven temperature is always off 10-15 degrees from what it says it is. I honestly wanted to buy American but I feel cheated. Next time I'll try Samsung and see if they give a damn.

My Whirlpool dishwasher is only 2.5 years old. The first 1.5 years we were not full time in the house, so the dishwasher has not been used much. The touch pad went bad already and it was $450 to fix. Whirlpool sent me an email after I vented and it was a cookie cutter reply. They don't care that the appliance was manufactured with a faulty pad. We never buy service agreements because we feel an expensive item like this should last the term of service agreement if made correctly. No more Whirlpool purchases for us!

I bought a new home from Pulte recently. All of the kitchen appliances were Whirlpool which came with a 1 year warranty. I have had problems with 2 out of the three that were installed. The oven had a faulty control panel. I am still waiting for the replacement from Whirlpool which I am told could be months getting there. The dishwasher they installed, FX1700017, leaks water from the vent at the top of the door. When you open the door after running a load, there is a puddle under the vent from water that is trapped in the vent. The service company that they sent out said it is a design flaw and there is no fix for it.

I bought this Whirlpool "America" dishwasher because it was cheap. Even though I'm Canadian, I like patriotism and I could get behind the American flag logo on the washer. Let me just say, if you like when food comes off your plates, and attaches to your cups, then this is the dishwasher for you. It is always a surprise when you open the door to discover which dishes have been cleaned, and which dishes have inherited the food particles from the now clean dishes. This appliance really helps you work on time management as you are required to wash all your dishes before you put them into the dishwasher. 0/10 would not recommend for anyone who wants clean dishes.

A disaster from start to finish. I would give it zero stars if possible. Purchased from Home Depot online in September, 2020. The first delivery was scheduled for October 11, 2020 at 7am on a Sunday. I spent hours on the phone trying to get the time changed. I was assured it would take place later. That didn't happen. The delivery service Temco called at 6:30a and refused to come back later. I had to make a new appointment. A week later they delivered the dishwasher, left it on the porch, refused to uncrate it or bring it inside the house, refused to haul away the old machine and stole the Dishwasher parts kit that I had paid for which delayed installing the dishwasher. After the machine was installed I discovered the machine did not come with a manual. I was told I had to download and print the manual.

Bought a new $899 dishwasher 7/2020 and it stopped working 10/2020 And it’s been weeks and now I’ve been told it will be another 21 before they can replace it if at all! #whirlpoolusa #whirlpoolcorp Customer service lady was rude with an attitude.

Just bought what I thought was going to be a great dishwasher. It had all the features I wanted. But, I discovered that none of my silverware would fit in the slots provided in the silverware basket. It is a disaster. The slots are so tiny that most of them are unusable. I called Whirlpool thinking that surely there was another basket I could substitute, but no, there isn't. Everyone was very polite, but the end result is that the I'll be handwashing most of our silverware. Unless your silverware has very narrow handles, forget this machine. Obviously designed by someone who has never loaded a dishwasher!

I replaced a 4 year old Whirlpool dishwasher with a new Whirlpool dishwasher on 01/18/2019. July 2020, dishwasher failed. Finally got Whirlpool to send out a repair technician and was advised that the sump and motor had failed. This is after only a year and a half. Whirlpool will not back their product because I did not send another $200 for a service plan. So basically whirlpool can't even guarantee that their product will even last a year.

I want to make this clear I’d give NO stars if I could!! Whirlpool is totally junk!! I bought a whole suite of Whirlpool kitchen appliances from Home Depot that is a dishwasher, stove, and fridge. The dishwasher never cleaned the dishes, always left a film on everything, can't clean out the drain area, the screens don’t come off and less a year later the dishwasher top rack literally fell off and broke all the glasses that were loaded in it and the fridge keeps freezing all my food!!!

I've owned my Whirlpool appliances for almost a year. So far I've had 4 maintenance calls for my dishwasher to be fixed (over and over) and once for my refrigerator. Yes, it's currently under warranty, but I'm afraid to keep it without an extended warranty due to all the issues I've had with them. So, now I'm going to be spending hundreds on an extended warranty. I will never buy another Whirlpool.

We purchased this Gold Series Whirlpool Dishwasher about 4 years ago. It worked very well up until April of this year. At that time, the main pump stopped working and it has to be replaced. There are just two of us in the household so the dishwasher was only used 2 or 3 times a week. We also kept it very clean with no build up. The gasket around the soap dispenser came out and one of the wheels fell off of the bottom rack. We just feel that 3 1/2 years is too soon for a major appliance to stop working and fall apart, especially given the light usage.

I purchased this dishwasher (whirlpool WDF330PAHW2) in February 2019. Really worked great until May 2020. Now doesn't drain on the last cycle, smells bad (even though cleaned) and door leaks under handle on front. Really too bad. I have been a Whirlpool champion for 25 years. Now not so much.

Bought the above named model number Whirlpool dishwasher in Nov 2017 and it stopped cleaning 6 months later, dishes were instead of dry and NOW the motor is completely shot! Never again! This is ridiculous that the part cost more than the product! Worse that I need it repaired or a new one in less than 3 years!

It’s just a month old not even - and the dishes are not coming out clean. The cups are stained and I don’t feel it’s clean as it should be given it’s a brand new machine. I would not recommend this particular brand in Dishwashers.

Bought a model wdt730pahz in Nov 2017. Up until recently it ran fine and we were very happy. Some folks have reported that the soap dispenser door gets stuck. Same here. In our case we found, when using those detergent pods, to make sure that they are pushed all the way into the dispenser before you close the lid, or the lid jams. Other than that, the dishwasher got the dishes nice and clean. However, after just two years of using it maybe 3 times a week (there are only 2 of us) the motor died. You'd think a new motor ought to survive at least 500 cycles. Anyway, parts and labor was quoted at nearly $400. Debating whether to fix or replace the dishwasher. Might try ordering a motor and pump and replacing it myself.

Bought a Whirlpool dishwasher about 2 years ago. Used it once a day for one year. The bushings already need replacing (maybe $3 to make) and it’s $270 for the part or $280 for whole motor. Do the math. Not impressed.

Timer went out after only two years. Replacement part is $189. Won’t work without this part and I refuse to pay that when I can buy a new one for almost same price. From what I have read this is a known problem without a recall. It’ll fill and drain just won’t run through cycles.

Dishwasher has had multiple issues in the 4 years of use.

We bought the WDF330PAHB1 Whirlpool Dishwasher from Lowe's last year. It is a terrible dishwasher. It does not wash or dry the plastic dishes well and has a continued foul spoiled milk smell despite many cleanings with dishwasher cleaning tablets. I use Cascade and Finish rinse aid. My china and glassware are fine and it is a quiet unit but this gook I have to keep cleaning up is gross. I clean the removable filter and screen 2-3x a week but the stuff gets on and in every place it can cling to. It's a greasy, smelly muck. It's in both water jets, so I have to constantly remove them and bang the stuff out. We pre-rinse our dishes (which I've never had to do before) but still this slime keeps building up. Do not buy this machine. I wish I could give mine back!

Purchased the Whirlpool DU915 in 2004. It's been 16 years and I haven't made a single repair. A lot of that is just proper use, i.e. scraping off food stuff, using correct soap, etc. I have other newer Whirlpool dishwashers at rental properties which have required repair due to misuse. I would recommend Whirlpool products to friends and family.

The dishwasher is noisy and the latch which holds the soap, at times sticks. When we think it is done and ready to unload we need to run it again because the latch that holds the soap DID NOT open. Not good.

This dishwasher does not clean the dishes. Having said that most of the dishes are too oversized for the small capacity. Perhaps the fact that this is such an old dishwasher. I’m not sure but none of the dishes get washed. About the only thing that works is the dryer heater. Sorry to say, I’m not happy with this dishwasher and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Dishwasher is 15 years old and still going strong. Minor leak which disappeared when I cleaned the gasket. Good internal arrangement for fitting dishes & silverware. One of the best appliances I ever got!

Am posting in regards to a brand new dishwasher that I purchased the first part of February 2020 from Menards. The dishwasher I bought is Model # WDT730PAHB and Serial # F94519386. I had the dishwasher 10 days and it stopped working after running only two times. I checked the breaker box and all electrical connections to the machine and it was getting electricity, but would not turn on at all. I called the store to return it and they only have a 7 day return policy.

Washer does great job and happy with the results, very well. Appearance of dishes are good and leaving dishes very clean as well, would recommend this dishwasher to anybody. The color is also great and matches up with my stove and refrigerator, making the kitchen look very nice and great approach for other appliances to match.

This dishwasher is disappointing. Very noisy. Water consuming, and does not clean dishes properly. In addition not much options with timing settings. There are just few setting options and each take long time.

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher that was in my home when I moved in. It is approximately 15 years old and works great. I do wish however, that it matched the other appliances in my kitchen, as it is a cream color, and my other appliances are black. Other than that, I would highly recommend this product.

When I first purchased the dishwasher I had to call Whirlpool to come out because although I was using a drying agent as Cascade, the dishwasher lower door remained wet causing water onto the utensils. Whirlpool came out and said it would take a few washes until the inner part of the D/W would acclimate to the drying agent. Well the lower door where the utensils basket sits does not dry in its entirety so it's a defect, not the drying agent. Also, the decibel 55 is quite loud we can't run the dishwasher during the day, it's too noisy and distracting.

The capacity is small but it does a good job of washing and drying the dishes. I always check to make sure that all dishes are washed including silverware and they are. My dishwasher is quite old but it is still sufficient for our use.

The inside does not rinse the soap off the door. Never comes clean. The upper drawer squeaks constantly. This is brand new and unacceptable. It does not have a sensor button to notify you of when the rinse aid is empty. There is a hole in the door for no apparent reason. The sound level is ok and the look is ok.

This is a Whirlpool dishwasher that has been functioning for 25 years! Much better than any of my 4 newer appliances. It has never had a problem. It is easy to load and unload. The dishes are always clean. Dread getting a new one.

Great size, and not too noisy. Most of the time the dishes come out very good. It's always good to rinse before putting dishes in. It has worked well for 12 years now. Looks very good from the outside, and very easy to load. I would buy this model again.

My old GE was better. I have to clean my Whirlpool's filter once a month due to hard water - was wondering why my plastic cups had a white film - that was why. I have to put the knives and forks with the points facing up. My old dishwasher I could put the silverware in any way I wanted in the silverware compartment. My old one was quiet/my whirlpool I can hear it from the bedroom????

We bought this on sale but we're really glad we did. I was surprised how quiet it was while cleaning the dishes, insulation I guess makes it quiet. The wife also uses Cascade liquid dishwashing soap which seems to get the dishes really clean. Rinsing before we stick them in probably doesn't hurt, but overall, we are very pleased. The dishwasher has an adjustable rack which we've only used a few times and the start is easy enough for me to even figure out, sorry guys, but yes I do the dishes sometimes. Hope this helps. Good luck. Oh its model # is WDT730PAHVO.

We hate the way the silverware tray is attached to the door, very noisy. We loved our Kitchen-Aid dishwasher we used to have at our previous house, this dishwasher is built-in & was here when we purchased the house.

I’m disappointed in this dishwasher, it’s not yet a year old, and it doesn’t clean the dishes, and it also does not dry them. I now wash and dry my dishes by hand, the machine stays soaking wet even two weeks after running it.

Leaks water on bottom. Door seal don't go far to under door, is from manufacturing defect, is water overflow or is something else. Dishes washer is about 10 years older. Very real disappointed and won't buy this brand again on dishwashers.

After a days work Old Grumpy around 7:00 PM drags to sink, fills pan with hot water & soap; starts scrubbing forks, spoons & occasional cereal bowl. I prewash everything placing it in the dishwasher, it takes it a week to reach 3/4 full: use for sanitation.

My dishwasher is more than five years old. The water jets need to cleaned regularly. A little noisy but I can chalk that up to age. I use 1 or two packs of detergent. Sometimes, if I don’t pre-wash, I need to run through the cycle.

After the second year, everything stated to fail. The pump, the main control, even the mounting straps all failed. We are very glad we got the extended warranty. Parts alone have exceeded $400.00. Right now we are dealing with the loads not drying.

Does the job but is very loud and has a cheap plastic look to it. Interior baskets are rusting. It does not have a disposal feature. Also a long cycle time. Model #Duboodwgxi. It's probably a basic model. Did I mention it's very loud!

The dishwasher we purchased is a great deal. I love opening up a dishwasher to sparkling clean dishes. The top rack moves up and down and silverware stores easily in the door. It's sooo quiet and easy to use. I love the hidden buttons that don't attract my toddler! Highly recommend!

For the most part, the dishwasher performs well, but I wish they would ask the input of women when designing appliances. I just can’t figure out how having spikes on the top and the bottom racks is supposed to help in organizing your dishes better for proper cleaning.

I love the look and performance of my Whirlpool Dishwasher. It could be a bit quieter, but overall I have no complaints. My washer was already installed in my home when I purchased it and I must say, it helps when the family gets together and you don't feel like washing the dishes. The dual chamber pod holder is great if you need to use and the heat function works wonderful. I don't have the problem of the left over water that a lot of dishwashers leave behind and no spots!

We have had our dishwasher for over ten years and have had no problems. It's been very reliable. It's a free standing unit on wheels with a butcher block top as we don't have room in the cabinets for a built in. All you have to do is roll it over to the sink and plug it in and hook up the water line which has a quick disconnect. The male half always stays on the faucet.

I chose this dishwasher with stainless steel exterior to match other appliances in the kitchen. It functions very well and has for years. Very easy to keep clean. The interior shows no wear and the racks provided make it easy to arrange the dishes and silverware.

I have had to replace soap dispenser three times and it is broken again. I also have to use the best soap or my dishes are dirty. It is three years old and is now leaking. I would never buy this brand again.

My dishwasher interior and exterior is easy to keep clean. Very quiet and cleans all my dishes. The various cleaning options meet all of my needs. I would recommend this brand to everyone. I have had my dishwasher for 2 years and have had to call for service.

Standard looking dishwasher. Quiet and efficient. Best value for the money. Highly recommend. Chose this brand over more expensive options and made a great decision!!! I don't have a single complaint.

Mine came new with the home I purchased 3 years ago and so far I have had no problems at all. The only drawback is that if it is on, you can hardly tell it is running so if you forget you might interrupt the wash cycle unintentionally. It does an excellent job on dishes and the stainless steel front is easy to keep clean since there are no mechanical knobs or switches, you can just wipe it down and be done in less than a minute.

Cleans dishes very well, a bit noisy maybe that just the model I have. Exterior is very nice, interior there is plenty of space for the dishes and pans. There are no streaks on the glasses. No soap scum left on the dishes at all, very good unit.

This diswasher is streamlined and elegantly desiged for any kitchen. It stays externally clean with easy to wipe surfaces. Easy to use controls on the top of the door that cannot be accidentally hit when walking by the item. Plenty of internal space for lots of dishes. Internal silverware rack is easily removalble and not in the way of dishes. It is extremely quiet when running, like a soft hum in the air. A real "bang for your buck".

This is a very old unit, probably 15 years old. It came with the house I purchased 10 years ago and it seemed old then! Obviously, standards and norms have changed in the dishwashing machine industry and perhaps this machine was top of the line in the mid-1990s. I rarely use it and am not in the market for a new one either.

Vent on front has caused the paint to chip off and leave large rust spot on front. Inside the upper rack is not sturdy and one side constantly drops off roller. Loading capacity is not ideal due to rack configuration.

My washer is extremely quiet and very efficient..easy to keep clean and cleans very well..Especially on plastic containers but very good on glass products as well. The stainless steel finish is very easily cleaned and it has never leaked. This machine DOES what a dishwasher device is supposed to do. Richard.

My dishwasher was a $300ish model from Lowe's. It is over 5 years old and has been reliable for a single persons use. It is run about once a week on average. Early on I had problem with it not cleaning well but that was the fault of one of those "no leak" supply hoses that restricted flow...fixed that. Would I buy again? Yes.

Does clean well but I notice that even on heat drying there is still water on the inside of the door when I open it. I have loaded it up and even the glass baking pans came out sparkling. I would recommend this middle of the road priced dishwasher.

This is a portable dishwasher with a butcher block top. Great to use as a rolling island countertop. The capacity is huge, fitting large pasta pots and dutch ovens with ease along with dish plates. Love the water miser setting and the no heat dry to protect delicate material like china dishware.

This dishwasher is noisy, it does not get the dishes clean, and anything that is remotely lightweight gets thrown all over. This must be one of Whirlpool's cheapest models as I have had other Whirlpool products and they were fine.

I have two Whirlpool dishwashers: one has a plastic interior and the other stainless steel. Although the plastic is holding up ok it gets dirty and stained. Wouldn't get a plastic interior unit again. The stainless is fine. Both are fairly noisy and do a good job of cleaning only if the dishes are scraped.

Very durable. Not pretty but will last a long time. The dishwasher will run forever. The appearance is bland so the product is nothing fancy. It gets the job done. The machine is very quiet. I think this feature is the best one.

My Whirlpool is almost 20 yrs now and we thought we were going to have to get a new one! New ones aren’t equipped with what mine has so after much investigating we decided to try a water inlet part for $35 delivered and oh to our surprise it is still performing like new. We bought the top of the line and it still is! Thank you Whirlpool. You are what you say you are. Arlene **.

Nothing, nothing comed out clean. Even prewashing most of dirt, food sauces off of plates does not help. Upper level never comes out anywhere near satisfactory. Silverware dirty, stores for cleaning in front door enclosure.

We have been very satisfied with the way our dishwasher has performed over the years. It cleans the dishes well. It runs somewhat quietly. It doesn't seem to use too much detergent to get the dishes clean.

Had a part come off right after our purchase but was a easy fix to repair. The silverware basket also kept coming off until we looked at it and realized it was on wrong. This dishwasher is much quieter than our last one. It also shows fingerprints. We got this dishwasher in a group purchase during a sale at Lowe’s that included the refrigerator a stove, microwave and this dishwasher.

Cleans average compared to previous dishwashers. Does not dry well even on high heat dry. Cycle takes about two hours and I have to run it during the day because it is too loud. The price was good, but I wish I would have bought a little higher grade.

The interior has an excellent layout and accommodates our oversized dishes. The racks operate with ease. The outside appearance is tastefully done and the noise level when in operation is very low compared to other brands we have owned. We are pleased with the overall operation of this unit and would recommend it to others.

Efficient. I like the look and the controls. I trust the Whirlpool brand, but have purchased other brands. This is probably the best dishwasher I have owned. My only regret is that it is louder than expected.

When we remodeled our kitchen we went with a more costly national brand, but were never happy with it as it was noisy & wash cycles took too long. After 9 yrs I gave it up & went back w/ Whirlpool. It’s quiet, has a shorter wash cycle & gets my utensils spotless. Will never stray from Whirlpool again!!

It's good. We use it regularly 2 times in day and it cleans all the vessels properly without any issues so hence I like it and recommend to all of my friends as well so it's easy to clean, wash and use. Everybody should have it.

I'm very satisfied with the looks and performance of my Whirlpool dishwasher, it is quiet enough that I put it on to wash before going to bed. It is that quiet. I'm not happy about the way it was installed, but that is no fault of the dishwasher or Whirlpool, it works great even though it sits kind of crooked in the cabinet. The dishes are always sparkling clean and dry when it is done washing.

Best dishwasher I've ever used, Quiet, extremely clean, priced well for the quality. A really gorgeous piece added to my kitchen. Would highly recommend this product. Up to date. Easy to use. Sleek design. Would be beautiful in any design.

My Whirlpool has been in use about three years. It was purchased on sale at a very reasonable price. My only complaint is the heat dry function which somewhat fulfills its purpose, but I usually have to hand dry some dishes. Overall, it is an average dishwasher that gets the job done. The best feature is that it is very quiet; you barely notice that it is running.

Love the dishwasher, except the racking which has some top rack channels which are too small to be used by glasses, mugs, etc. The Power On/Off should automatically power down when the cycle is finished. Too often when someone leans against the dishwasher while opening the overhead cupboard, the dishwasher will start up because the unit was not powered down.

My dishwasher is very basic with no extra amenities, more features like an area on the rack that would wash the inside of small opening glasses and jars and I do not like the way my silverware holder just balances on the front of the bottom rack and does not attach to where it doesn't fall off every time it's bumped.

I have always used Whirlpool, This will be the last one! I have options of custom wash. I've never used it as it's Over 4 hours long! My other choices are all between 3-4 hours with the exception of a "Quick wash" for 1 hour 30 minutes! Needless to say we use the 1 hour 30 minute option and hope our dishes come clean... Even though this time includes a hot dry my dishes are always wet!

I bought this Whirlpool dishwasher 3 years ago and the first time I used it I was completely blown away. We can run it at night and never hear it. The first time I turned it on I had to go back and check it to make sure it was on.

I have had my Whirlpool dishwasher for 8 years..I can't use the top rack anymore as it doesn't clean dishes!! I bought a brand new one for my cabin..I hope it works longer (right now it cleans amazing).

I have a Whirlpool Gold Series dishwasher. I would recommend this dishwasher. It is large enough to hold dirty dishes for a family of four. It is a little loud but not that bothersome. It is stainless steel but I don’t have a lot of fingerprint smears and stains.

The fork rack in attached to the inside of the door. When you open the door they are in the way. And when you roll out the bottom rack it gets caught on the rack. The bottom rack rolls back in. Door won’t open flat.

I had this dishwasher for about a year. It was a great purchase for this model and the price was reasonable. The dishwasher is very quiet and wash dishes wonderfully. The only exception is it does take a long time to wash dishes. The cycle are long.

It's a very well build dishwasher. It's quiet, really do a deep cleaning and make it easier to leave the kitchen clean after dinner with 2 kids it's something that I need, It's not pricey either like other brands.

We have a Whirlpool Quiet Wash Plus dishwasher that's been doing a great job cleaning our dishes for just shy of 24 years. We use a cleaner every 2-3 months to keep everything cleaned out and sanitized. We use a liquid detergent and a rinse aid and the dishes come out clean every time. We feel like we've been blessed with this machine and would definitely buy Whirlpool again.

We bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher with a kitchen reno. It cost over $1000. One month out of warranty the pump died. As this is apparently a common thing with these dishwashers the company sent a new pump, free of charge, but we still had to pay $150 for the install. Now, less than 2 years after purchase, the dishwasher refuses to drain. I wrote to the company, they are not interested. Don't buy Whirlpool, you are only throwing money away.

My family purchased a newly built home from a reputable homebuilder on December 21st 2019. On the first week of January 2020, we noticed that our upgraded Whirlpool dishwasher, model #WDT730PAHZ0 was shutting off mid cycle, resulting in dishes remaining dirty. The technician gave us an estimate of nearly $500 for replacement of pump motor assembly. He also informed us that this particular model is well known for having this defect. We are requesting that Whirlpool stand behind their reputation for producing reliable high quality products by replacing our dishwasher.

We bought this dishwasher only 18 months ago and it's not worth the money we paid. We have had cheaper models that cleaned way better and didn't need as much maintenance as this one. We already had to spend another $410.00 in having the motor replaced in it!! When calling Whirlpool it only has a 1-year warranty and to have a technician come out just to look at it is $150.00. It is so hard to see in the part where you put the jet dry it doesn't tell you when it's full or empty and no matter what it always leaves the dishes wet after. Our other dishwasher that was a way cheaper model always cleaned our dishes and never left any food on the dishes unlike this model and we even rinse the dishes beforehand! Look for another dishwasher to save yourself money in the long run!

Purchased a Whirlpool Dishwasher in 2017 as part of a kitchen remodel. I have always had General Electric appliances, and should've never changed my brand. I had to have this dishwasher fixed a month after purchase (this should've been a clue that this was a lemon). Fast forward to two years, I know have to turn the power off to the dishwasher after 3 uses otherwise it stops running mid cycle and the re-set lights blinks. I've had a repair person take the thing apart to try and find the problem (at the cost of $250) with no luck. The repair person contacted Whirlpool to see if they could help troubleshoot, the response he received was because it was no longer under warranty they wouldn't even answer his questions, how's that for customer service????

Whirlpool Dishwasher MOD#WDT970SAHZ0. I have to wash the dish before it goes in otherwise it doesn’t get food or anything off. It DOES NOT DRY at all. Even when I add the heat extended dry button. The normal setting takes 3 hrs & 12min to run & again, doesn't really wash & for sure doesn't dry. I have added jet dry. I called and they keep telling me it should have more jet dry! Ugh! I now have rust happening because it doesn’t dry. DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL.

I paid for an extended warranty. Dishwasher not functioning properly- it stops mid-cycle. Had a tech out twice who insisted nothing was wrong. Extended Warranty customer service refused to honor my claim. Will never buy another Whirlpool product again. And buy an extended warranty! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

BUYER BEWARE!!!! Dishwasher less than 2 years old and pump & motor assembly went out. You would think and hope that an appliance would last longer than that... Contacted Whirlpool and they were not helpful at all. Will not be buying anything made by Whirlpool again...

I purchased an expensive dishwasher made by Whirlpool and sold at Lowe’s. Immediately upon receiving the dishwasher I noticed a good size scratch. I had it serviced within one month of purchase because dishes were coming out dripping wet. Technician came out and told me I needed to add rinse aid. I had been using rinse aid, which I think is ridiculous to have to buy an additional bottle of something that’s not even cheap just so this thing dries dishes but moving on...

I purchased a WhirlPool dishwasher in 2016. The primary motor had to be replaced in 2018. WP paid for the part; however, I had to cover the labor, which was expensive. In 2019 the drying element broke. Again, WP will replace the part but leave me to cover the labor. I've decided to purchase a new dishwasher (none of the Whirlpool brands) with a 5 year warranty. I will never purchase another WP product and recommend everyone avoid all of their brands. Here's the list of brands you should avoid. https://www.whirlpoolcorp.com/brands-we-love/

When I grew up, my mom and dad had a Whirlpool dishwasher and it was the ONLY dishwasher we EVER had. The SAME one, for over 20 years! So, with confidence, I purchased a mid-range unit. (over $600 2015). By 2016, ONE year later, I was already buying replacement parts because the top rack was falling apart and the bottom spinner broke as well. The parts were extremely expensive and hard to find. Now, a mere 4 years later, you cannot find ANY parts for this machine and there are so many issues with the unit. It is no longer functioning. When it did work it ran for 4 HOURS!! Even then, the dishes are filthy. I am so upset by whirlpool. I want a full refund from the company for treating their loyal customer so badly.

Purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher less than 2 years ago, began noticing a mildew buildup inside. Cleaned it, and bought dishwasher cleaner products, but the problem continued. Realized the dishwasher heater was not working. The dishwasher was staying wet, therefore causing mold. Called appliance repair, and spent 3/4 of the price of the 2 year old dishwasher to repair it. The control box malfunctioned. I was told by the repairman that that was unusual. At the suggestion of the repairman called Whirlpool. I was told since it was beyond the 1 year warranty they will comp us nothing. As a consumer I have no other recourse but to warn others, and to never buy a Whirlpool product again!

Everything Whirlpool that I buy is junk these days! Whirlpool used to be one of the best brands, now, cheap China GARBAGE! My dishwasher will not fill enough to clean the dishes without setting it on pots and pans. Then it runs for hours and uses a ton of electricity! I tested the water fill cut off, after it fills it is not even close to lifting it and the switch works fine. I returned the Whirlpool dehumidifier I bought recently, it was junk as well!

My dishwasher is 4 months old and is having some electrical issues. I have had to call into customer service 3 time to try to get a service call. Two of the service calls did not show up. To this Whirlpool said it was not their responsibility. From my experience Whirlpool does not care that the service calls are weeks out, or that the dishwasher does not work.

We bought a Whirlpool dishwasher when we learned that my daughter and two children would be living with us for an extended time. We bought it a couple of months before they came. During that time I used it maybe four or five times as there are only two of us and didn't need to use it. Since they arrived in early June, the dishwasher malfunctioned almost immediately. Talking with their representative was useless and frustrating. The only words she seemed to know were "circuit breaker." That is where the conversation started and ended despite my assurances that it had nothing to do with a circuit breaker. We wrangled round and round to no avail. This company used to be an American standard. Now it is a class A maker of junk.

This company should be avoided at all costs. Purchased 2 Whirlpool dishwashers in 2018 and in less than 2 year the top dish rack glide rail front wheel broke off causing the rack to drop down and render the dishwasher unusable. Warranty was one year and I went online only to notice that the OEM factory replacement part(s) are now made out of stainless steel (or aluminum). I also noted that the parts were made prior to 2015 (date on the video and other vendor sites) Which is a good 2 years prior to my purchasing of this product. This means that they obviously knew there was an issue but continued to produce and sell them with known faulty parts well after they realized at least 2 plus years when you consider that they would have had to re-tool, redesign and send to production prior to the product release date.

Dishwasher leaking thru the diverter motor; apparently the gramet # WPW10195677 gets worn out and starts leaking. They have discontinued the part and can no longer be found. I call Whirlpool and all Parts supplier in my city. Obviously this is something that happens with time (5 yr old dishwasher) and is something very simple to change. But if we cant find the part....what are we supposed to do. Also my dishwasher rack has broken 2 years ago and is holding with zip straps! Horrible product!

We bought our dishwasher April 2018. This morning I noticed the paint had bubbled above the heat vent (area 3"x 1/2"). Upon closer inspection, the the paint was also peeling. We called the company to see if they would replace the skin but the agent said the only thing they could do was send us touch-up paint. The door is considered cosmetic & only covered for 30 days. If we wanted to replace the door panel, we were welcome to buy one from them. However as this seems to be a manufacturing defect, we would be replacing the door every 16 months. When we realized whirlpool wouldn't back their product, my husband looked a little closer to see what needed to be done & found that it had rusted under the paint & painting on top of rust will adhere properly.

Piece of crap. We built home 2 years ago and have all gold series appliances! They are all CRAP. Wish we would’ve upgraded to KitchenAid. Dishwasher won’t wash, microwave has hot spots and has to be unplugged and plugged back in often to work. Freezer side of the refrigerator will stop making ice because it freezes up often! NEVER buy Whirlpool!

I bought a WDT 720PADW2 dishwasher 15 months ago from Home Depot. In the last few months, it has begun to rust at the vent above the the handle. Whirlpool will not address the issue because it is out of the 12 month warranty period, yet is obviously a design flaw.

DO NOT BUY ANY WHIRLPOOL PRODUCTS! After purchasing a dishwasher in April 2017, it died after a year. The subsequent years have been filled with waiting all day for service repairs 6 times and living without a dishwasher for up to a week at a time. After 6 services the product continues to malfunction. They are refusing to replace the item and now inform us that we must pay to have it serviced. I cannot stress enough that no one should purchase any products from Whirlpool as they are sub-par products and they do not stand behind their products.

Bought Whirlpool Dishwasher MDf760SADMZ including protection plan in November 2015. Product did not last even four years --top and bottom racks began falling apart-- and drain motor went out causing near flood in my kitchen. Disappointed consumer.

I bought this dishwasher at Best Buy Whirlpool - 24" Front Control Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher. Black. Model: WDF520PADB SKU:8561006 - in 2014. I have had so many problems with it not cleaning dishes. I rinse and they still are not clean even using rinse aids. I have had to have it fixed because it was not draining. Now it is leaking at the bottom. I paid $400.00 for it, have already invested $100 and not worth to invest another $100.00 because at the rate this machine is breaking down, not worth to invest more money into it. There is nothing Whirlpool can do because it is out of warranty. I am purchasing a new one. Definitely not Whirlpool.

7 months ago we had a Whirlpool dishwasher installed into our home. While away on vacation the piece inside malfunctioned and caused major damage as water filled the home. Whirlpool claims, that because it’s a part that they contract out to another company, they “Whirlpool” are not responsible! If you purchase a product from Whirlpool and they put their name on that product, then Whirlpool should stand by its product. Well... beware, you’re not going to compensate from Whirlpool! We urge you, make sure of whom the parts of the product your buying from belong to, before you buy it FIRST! Never again!

I don't take pleasure in writing this review and to the readers, please know that this is the truth without bias. Before you buy from Whirlpool or purchase their extended warranty, you should know: I am writing this review based on my personal experience. I purchased the extended warranty in 2017 (approximate) for three years. In 11/2018, our Whirlpool dishwasher, model wdt920sadm2, which was purchased with our new home in 06/2016, began having issues and was not drying the dishes properly. I called Whirlpool warranty and requested service.

Less than 3.5 years use on a 2015 Whirlpool dishwasher...total costs to repair would be $600. This just to let other know. Whirlpool did nothing for me when the same issue showed 15 months after purchase and again 18 months later. Absolutely horrible experience. I don't want them to contact me and I post this as a warning to others. They just want to sell you high priced service contracts. Terrible dishwasher and even worse customer service.

Whirlpool Gold appliances are junk!!! Our dishwasher just stopped working one day. It was about 2 years old. We tried all the troubleshooting ideas we found on the internet. Nothing worked. I had a 13 Year old working dishwasher when I bought this one. Sure wish I had left well enough alone. I think there should be a class action lawsuit against Whirlpool. I had also purchased a new electric range... It is constantly giving me an error message when I try to use the oven. We have to flip the breaker and that sometimes helps. I bought 4 of the Gold appliances... I’m holding my breath on the other 2. I thought I had done a good job researching before I bought. I remodeled my kitchen. It turns out that a company that I believed was reputable and worthy of my business are not.

We had an old Whirlpool dishwasher that worked great for over 20 years. It had the ole tried and true knobs in front. We replaced it with another Whirlpool when we updated the kitchen. That one had the new electronic panel in front, it lasted 6 years then we had all kinds of problems and finally replaced it with a Bosch, also with a electronic control panel. We have had this one 4 years and it is not working at all. Won't start and keep a cycle on. Spent $500 on it and it's a piece of crap. Thousands of complaints on the internet for these new types of dishwashers. The electronic controls panel are faulty, and probably get wet from repeated use. Go back to the knobs. They worked for years and years!

We bought the Whirlpool Gold Stainless Steel dishwasher around 4 years ago and the pump and motor assembly went out. We spent top dollar on this dishwasher and should of lasted a lot longer. I’m no longer going to buy anything Whirlpool makes.

I bought this dishwasher in Nov. 2018 to replace one that was barely working. I have enjoyed using it much more than my old one. It's very quiet and does a great job of cleaning dishes, pans and silverware. The only problem we had was installing it. The leveling screws do not hold their height adjustment when the dishwasher is pushed across the floor during installation because the leveling screw pad was changed from steel to plastic and the tapped hole for the leveling screw is too loose. The effect of this - whereas the steel pad would slide the plastic pad will grab, turn and move the leveling screw out of adjustment. Especially if it's tapped hole is too loose. So we went to Home Depot and bought 4 5/16 nuts and used them as lock nuts on the 4 leveling screws. This cost 50 cents.

I bought the Ikea dishwasher (model IUD8500BX1) in 2014. Because it’s from Ikea, it has 5 year warranty. I was using it daily, as I have a family of 5 and we cook and eat at home most days. I have called Whirlpool at least 4 times according to the repairman that was here today. I've already had to replace the pump because it was holding up water. After which, mold started occurring in the washer. The technician who came out found 4 fault codes on the machine. He was prepared to replace sensors and the circuit board for the heater and the pump, since it likely had mold. But Whirlpool says the parts are "functional" therefore the replacement parts won’t fix it. He is not allowed to replace anything.

We replaced our kitchen appliances and went with Whirlpool. The oven and Refrigerator haven't had any issues yet but the dishwasher has been crap since it was installed. While it looks 10 times better than my old dirty dishwasher it replaced, its main function of washing dishes is 1/4 the of the quality after running two or three times. Not to mention the average cycle time is 4-8 hrs. Dishwashers by design, should be convenient and save time. Whirlpool managed to remove both of those traits from this Dishwasher and now their "warranty" service said they can send out a technician but I will have to pay for it if it’s not covered under warranty!

We special ordered this from Lowe's a few years ago. It was not a cheap model. The top rack has broken and we had to pay to have it fixed. The plastic rollers on the bottom keep breaking. That happened at the 1 year mark. Now the heating element at the bottom is rusted and the piece that is supposed to turn to disperse the water does not turn. I am so very disappointed!

We purchased a Whirlpool Overhead microwave and Quiet Dishwasher in May of 2017. Within the first year, the microwave needed new sensors installed. The repair person said this was a design flaw and he was getting many calls. Then at 13 months, the dishwasher wouldn't drain. The repair person fixed the problem and left reset directions because this can commonly happen. Now at 18 months later, the drainage problem won't resolve even with the reset. Whirlpool extended the warranty by 6 months but won't cover this repair. Two appliances, two problems. Don't buy Whirlpool.

Whirlpool corporation is one of the worst company I'm dealing with, we bought a new home and had new Whirlpool appliance incorrectly installed in Sept 2018, I raised a ticket in Oct 2018 for my dishwasher which doesn't open properly, flamingo services in Atlanta came and unplugged dishwasher saying it's not installed properly. I wait for more than 30 days for parts to arrive and my dishwasher to be fixed. Called Whirlpool/Flamingo. Both don't give confirmation as to when the parts will arrive (note they haven't been shipped by distributor). Wow seriously???

Machine was leaking underneath. Had an independent person to check it out and it was determined that it was leaking from underneath the pump. He was not equipped to do the repair himself but I paid him for his time. I then called Whirlpool and they referred me to one of their authorized repair service contractor. The technician, who came over, had been made aware of what the problem was and confirmed by looking under the machine, which had been left opened, that this was the problem. I had to pay him $100 for the service call and this would also apply to the next call to repair it by replacing the pump and assembly for $244 for the parts.

Purchased a Gold Series Whirlpool dishwasher, Mo. No. WDT720PADW2, From Maruszcak in Schererville, In. on 1-29-16. Approximately a year later door was replaced by Whirlpool because of paint problem due to faulty design. Replaced door is now peeling and rusting by exhaust vent also. Contacted Whirlpool and they will do nothing more. They said it was a favor the first time they replaced the door. They feel this is a cosmetic problem! I paid a total of $675.03, Their repairman would charge a $100.00 to look at it and another $235.00 for a new door.

I purchased a Whirlpool 3 years ago. It was on the lower end for price so my expectations were not that high. It does an average job cleaning dishes so for the price I could give it 4/5. The pump and motor just went and had to be replaced. Almost the same cost as replacing the whole machine. The repair technician that did the work stated that this was a very common problem with Whirlpool in recent years. Of course this is not covered by warranty. So if you purchase a Whirlpool realize you are rolling the dice.

This Maytag dishwasher is awful. The parent company is Whirlpool and their customer service is as bad as their products. I bought this dishwasher and less than a week later the pump isn't working and stagnant water is sitting in the machine. It took Whirlpool 3 weeks to replace the machine and they sent over another defective machine. This time it lasted less than 2 days. The Whirlpool customer reps are rude and vindictive and antagonize the customer with their lack of service. Called corporate office with no help from Cust. Service and was told to leave a message with the operator and await a callback. With this fiasco I wouldn't buy another Whirlpool or Maytag product again. BTW. I'm still awaiting my callback from the corporate office... I'm not holding my breath. I called the company that I bought the dishwasher from to see if they can help me unload this machine and get a different brand...

Bought a Whirlpool dishwasher and just over a year later all the wheels fell off the bottom rack. Called to get replacements and it was going to cost me over $200. I paid $800 for the whole machine. I would NOT recommend Whirlpool. I have now heard of other people having the same issue. Very disappointed. Will probably buy a new dishwasher as it will probably happen again with the replacement wheels.

In 2016 I purchased a Gold Series dishwasher. In 2017 Had to have the door replaced because of bubbling paint and rust around exhaust vent. Door was replaced by Whirlpool. It's 2017 and the same thing is happening again. They are sending a technician out again. This is obviously a defect in this model no. (WDT720PAPW2). I wish Whirlpool would just give us a refund. I have a feeling that the doors will be replaced yearly. Plastic parts fall off occasionally. Pots and pans do not come out clean. I have to hand wash those. Will not clean off Barbecue sauce off of the silverware. It was also very difficult to install, and sticks out past the cabinets. I am very disappointed with this product.

Purchased this dishwasher in 2015. It has been horrible. The unit has never cleaned sufficiently on any cycle. I run the unit in the evening for the full cycle with heat. It takes almost 4 hours. The dishes are still soaking wet the next morning. We would be considered "light use" as a family of two. I hand wash any larger pans or cookware as the racks do not support anything of midrange weight or above.

We got a "DEAL" for this nightmare for nearly $700 back in 2014. Nothing but problems. Constantly finding plastic pieces at the bottom... some identifiable; others not. They are from the cheap parts within. The control board lights (all but 1 works) went just after the 1 yr mark. We are now having to replace the top Rack Adjuster (MORE CHEAP PLASTIC), as it has been barely hanging on for the last year and a half... constantly fighting it, as it would drop all the dishes if you moved it wrong.

I purchased a home that came with Whirlpool appliances. I begged the company for GE or Maytag. Of course they went with the cheapest they could find. I must admit the microwave gets very hot but the dishwasher is a piece of crap! The water doesn't get hot and the dryer doesn't work. They tried to tell me it NEEDED Jet-Dry. I own 4 homes and have lived in all of them. I've NEVER used Jet-Dry and all the others work perfectly. Run as far as you can from Whirlpool!

Buy anything else. This WHIRLPOOL WITH STAINLESS INTERIOR WDF560 SERIES is the worst dishwasher I've ever owned. Huge fail Whirlpool. MADE IN THE USA! I will never buy another thing you make again. I can't say ONE redeeming thing about this dishwasher. I hate it! It has a high temp wash, a Sani cycle & heated dry + a stainless tub. Using all of the above + having an SS tub yet everything comes out dripping wet. The cheap silverware baskets are poorly designed & positioned on the side to the back in addition to a tall tub making it difficult to access anything in them. The baskets are also cheap and poorly designed. All the spacings are the exactly the same with no proper spacing for pots, pans or larger items. These cheap racks will have a short life. It's outrageous to spend 649.00 for such an inferior product. Buy a cheap dishwasher! This thing is no better than a builder grade that looks good.
