Whirlpool Dishwashers Reviews

I have always had a whirlpool dishwasher and have always been please until my last dishwasher. The part that holds the soap and liquid stuff has broken and also the part that holds the silverware. Been really disappointed in this product.

Brand new Whirlpool dishwasher letting steam out ruining cabinets. Whirlpool admitted this has happened before. ** sent 3 different service repair companies to my house and all 3 told me the parts they recommended from Whirlpool was not going to fix problem. They finally after 3 different repairmen agreed to refund dishwasher. I requested they hire someone to give estimate on my kitchen cabinets. It was their product that done damage and I live in rural area and no one wants the job of restaining. If the cabinet is replaced it is expensive. Granite counters have to be removed and placed back, sink etc. I requested 3000.00 or Whirlpool send someone to give estimate. This has been dragging on for 2 months and still can't use dishwasher. Is that too much to ask for? This has been a nightmare and Whirlpool should be embarrassed. So many emails and messages and most of the time they are unreturned

WHIRLPOOL'S unacceptable customer service! Less than one year ago, we bought a Whirlpool dishwasher, type ADP 4411 from Khoury Home, Lebanon's leading retailer of household products. From the beginning, we were not really happy with the performance of the machine, which we felt was not cleaning as well as it should. But the nightmare for us came when ten months later, we came home to an electricity burning smell and smoke from our Whirlpool dishwasher, which had been off. Thankfully, our electric security system in our new apartment worked very well and shut off, so that our apartment didn't catch fire. It was a shock, but knowing that our machine was still under warranty, we contacted Whirlpool to let them know what happened.

I am so disappointed in my whirlpool W10431035A gold series dishwasher. I bought this 2 yrs and 2 months ago on black Friday at a lowes. I wanted to have a whirlpool and I thought they were a good brand. It has been a little over 2 years and my dishwasher no longer works. The start button no longer works. It is not even that old and appliances should at least last 4 years. I could understand if the plastic utensil holder or dishwasher rack breaks...fine, you use plastic. But this is an intricate part of the dishwasher....the start button and it does not work. I am so disappointed in whirlpool. It is the start button...how can this break. The only thing I do is press normal cycle and the start button...that is it. How can this machine break so easily. How can whirlpool build and sell such a faulty product. So disappointed.

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher from Home Depot on 2/5/2015. It was delivered damaged on 2/9/2015. Home Depot refused to take it back and Whirlpool sent a tech out to see the damage. I told them I did not want a refurbished dishwasher that I paid almost $1000 for. Whirlpool advised Home Depot that the machine can be repaired. Once again I told both whirlpool and Home Depot that I did not want this dishwasher and to pick it up. Home Depot stated that there would be a 15 percent restocking fee along with a $65 to pick up the washer. Why should we have to pay anything? I am so disgusted for the treatment I received.

I would like to share whirlpool's lack of ownership for parts they knew were faulty that caused significant damage to my floor. It's absolutely horrendous that one would purchase the highest end dishwasher they offer (all highest end appliances in 3 homes so far) and the company is only willing to cover the replacement of the part. It's a horrible way to run a company. I hope that my review will warn prospective customers to stay away from a company who is only willing to take your cash at purchase (charging an arm and a leg no less) and not care about any repercussions after the fact. I hope they enjoy our 15k, because it will be the last penny they get from us.

I bought a portable dishwasher on 6/29/15. It didn't clean well, didn't drain properly. (I followed guidelines from the USER INFORMATION and used rinse). I called a plumber to clean out my pipes. My dishes were still dirty. I purchased an entire soft water system from Culligan. My dishes were still dirty. I called Whirlpool and Pacific Sales where I bought the machine, and got no assistance.

Whirlpool wdf530plym4 - Bought this dishwasher 5/13. Sat for 3 months in the box while my kitchen was being built. 7/14 pump motor went out, called Whirlpool, they set me up with an appliance repair company, and I ended up paying $90. The technician was being nice, charging me less than he needed to since he said it was an easy fix. 1/26/2015 pump motor went out again. Called Whirlpool again. Lady on phone was very snooty with me, telling me it was out of warranty. Told them I was very dissatisfied, my dishwasher has broken 2x in 18 months and all she said was, I should have bought the extended warranty. Dishwasher is not even 2 years old and already needs to be fixed 2x. The most expensive part on the machine I may add. Going my average, I can keep dumping $130 every 9 months to have a working dishwasher by Whirlpool. I would understand if the thing broke after 2 or 3 years. I only run the thing 2 or 3x a week at the most.

Literally from day one I had an issue with my Gold Series which was aggravating but at least it was on warranty. Then 2 months out of warranty I had another problem, a leak. Now no water circulation. I think it is maybe 3 years old. What a piece of junk and my Whirlpool washer and dryer? Not much better. I will never buy another.

Whirlpool/Ikea Renlig dishwasher - Since installing this integrated dishwasher it has continuously destroyed the decorative panel door. On my model (they have recently changed in 2014) the steam exits at the top, this damages whatever it comes into contact with it. Today they are saying that it has not been installed correctly and that it should actually sit out from the countertop, i.e. jut out from the rest of the kitchen so that the steam can vent into the room. The panel should also be lower than the other doors of the kitchen cabinetry too. Hardly integrated and would be a bloody eyesore. I am about to call them back again and inform them that I will be making a scene about this in my local Ikea and with anyone else who cares to listen.

WDF760AWO - The two metal clips sent to somehow stabilize the unit with the cabinet are next to useless since they easily dislodge when attempting to secure. Unbelievable engineering?

We purchased a Whirlpool water heater at Lowes for $1100.00. Four years later it isn't working. There are no parts to fix it available at any store in Dallas, TX. We had to call the company. They made us pay the overnight shipping fee for the part. Then the part didn't show up. When we called to find out why isn't the part at my house, they said they found out FedEx doesn't deliver on Saturdays. No one ever called to notify us of this, instead the response was that they would use it as a "coaching" lesson for not notify the customer. We have now been without hot water in the middle of winter for 5 days. We have no idea when the part will arrive and if it will even fix my defective water heater. We will never buy another Whirlpool product and I strongly encourage anyone who reads this to not buy Whirlpool. They don't stand by their product and have horrible customer service.

Less than 2 years after we purchased our whirlpool dishwasher, the rack started to rust. Now the tines are so soft they fall off. The last time we bought a dishwasher the Same thing happened, but after 15 years! They don't even have an option for that to be under warranty so it tells me they don't stand by their product. I will never buy whirlpool again.

Strange bear like sound when it washes. We stopped it and on again, sound gone. Water on full water pump drain attitude ok. Big lid (grey) inside on. Ran some time water draining with tablets to make it clean and run better. Had someone to look for it, no sound. But when we now turned on, it sound like a mumbling high sound from inside machine or upper lid. We have some thermostat error a few times now. No hot water condition and no washing in high temperature. Håkon ** was the inspector of this strange thing happening. Could this be dangerous to let it run?

Bought new. About 3 years old. Been repaired 2 times. Will run about 10 minutes, drain, and stop. Does not clean dishes. Model #du1015 xt xs2 Whirlpool Quiet Partner 1. Never will buy Whirlpool again.

I purchased all new, upper end Whirlpool appliances for our newly built home just 6 months ago, to include a side by side refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser, an over the stove microwave, a smooth cooktop oven/range, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a clothes dryer. We plugged in the new refrigerator, and after 24 hours of letting it sit and get cold, we bought $300.+ of groceries and filled our new refrigerator. We pulled the milk out hours later and it was warm, checked other food items and found them to be warm, too. I placed a thermometer in the refrigerator and it read 55 degrees. In disbelief, I placed a second thermometer in the refrigerator and it, too, read 55 degrees. Being brand new, only hours old, and clearly not working, I called for a replacement refrigerator.

Re: wdf7payw6. I purchased this unit last February. It has never washed properly. In the last month 2 separate warranty service reps have been out. The first one told me that I have not been doing a good enough job of prewashing the dishes so the arms were clogged. While cleaning them, he broke the top arm. When he came back to replace the top arm, he added that the dishes were not drying because I didn't use enough jet dry so I would have to dry by hand, and that the arms were clogging because I didn't prewash well enough. I told him to leave and never come back. I called customer service and they sent out a new company.

I brought a whirlpool dishwasher in 2013. It never did clean dishes, had to wash them by hand before putting them in dishwasher. Had someone come out and check it. He told me I was using wrong type of soap, so I changed. That didn’t do a thing. Now I have mold growing in the dishwasher because the tub is cracked all around the inside. Called whirlpool, of course they couldn’t do anything about it. Have never heard of dishwasher cracking. So today, Lowes came out and took picture of crack that is where I brought it. So am waiting to find out what is going to happen. Will not ever buy whirlpool again and will tell all my friends.

Have, "Quiet Partner II", Whirlpool dishwasher. Am 1 person, run only about 3 times a week and within 4 years now it will not even stay on. It will load sometimes with water then turn off. You can try forever and it will not stay on to run cycle. Waste of MONEY if this is how DELICATE they are and do not last.

Microwave rotating never worked. Maytag or Whirlpool (same company) doesn't care! $480.00 wasted! Range, is dangerous! Grates move freely! Spilled hot water all over myself and floor was burned. New racks sent, same issue! They don't care! $950.00 wasted! Crappy customer service, crappy products, crappy warranty all brand new! Crappy Home Depot sells this garbage! Never again! Don't buy Whirlpool or Maytag ever!

I purchased this Whirlpool Gold dishwasher a year and half ago, and it needs repair to the tune of $300.00. The drain pump broke and need to have it repaired. If this was the only Whirlpool appliance that went bad, I wouldn't even write a review, but two months ago my Whirlpool refrigerator, one year and 4 months ago, the ice maker stopped working, another $300.00. Whatever you do, do not purchase any Whirlpool products, pure junk. Their customer service is even worse. What a nightmare.

I bought a house 2 years ago that came equipped with all new Whirlpool kitchen appliances (refrigerator/freezer, stove top and dishwasher). A few months ago, the damper door in our refrigerator broke causing food in the refrigerator to freeze. Just the other day my Whirlpool dishwasher stopped draining properly. Both instances a repairman was needed and we're now out over $400 for repairs and parts. I would definitely not recommend purchasing any Whirlpool appliances and I am deeply frustrated that I'm having to deal with these repairs and costs for appliances less than 2 years old.

Washer broke twice in eight months. Telephone request for service keep me on hold and then quit. Consumer service terrible.

I purchased this washer about 3 years ago to replace a dishwasher which lasted 20 years. Within a year the racks began to rot, the front panel plastic started to peel off. Within two years half of the racks rods completely rotted away. 3 years later the washer is busted - most likely pump which was probably blocked by one of the pieces of the rack rods. I am replacing it with Bosch - German engineering. Needless to say I will NEVER buy a Whirlpool - formerly reputable company again. Good-riddance Whirlpool.

We bought a new Whirlpool Dishwasher. Installed it, wife used it for two loads. The third time she tried using it the door sprung and it no longer latches. After two weeks of calling Whirlpool, we finally had someone come out to fix it. After the repairman took a hammer to the frame he stated that it had been dropped. He wobbled the dishwasher back and forth with his hand. He said the frame will never be correctable and we will always have problems. After another week we got a hold of Whirlpool and were told the repairman has ordered parts to repair the dishwasher. Whirlpool is hoping it will hang together until the warranty expires. If the dishwasher were fixable that would be fine. However, when the repairman who has years of experience in his job tells me it will never be right and will always be a problem, I believe him.

The Whirlpool I purchased has been the worst ever! Nothing comes clean even when I hand wash everything first and never has even from the beginning. I will never purchase a Whirlpool again. Now the machine won't drain I have gone through all the recommended steps for cleaning. The Whirlpool stove is almost as bad!

I have to wiggle everything just to get thru a cycle on my brand new dishwasher! It fills up and works great when it does work. No prob! But it takes a good 30 minutes to get it work and I walk away come back NO WATER! Sometimes I have to unload it just to wash them myself! Now I'm going back to purchase place and return or have repaired. Less than year old, repair free?

This dishwasher (model #WDT710PAYM5) leaked water after having it for 9 months. Service man came out to look at it and said it wasn't level. The very next day when I use it the water came out again on my wooden floor. Now the wood floor looks like it has water damage. Sadly this floor was just installed.

Well, where do I start. I have a Maytag dishwasher made from whirlpool. It is 4 months out of a year warranty and the main board went out. After calling them, they said they would pay for the part, not the repair. I said ok I can deal with that even though I thought their product was suppose to be better than that of a year, well guess not! They sent me to their repair people who charge more to come out and to fix, then I paid for the dishwasher. Shame on them so I called and said I...See More they said they would not pay for the part if I got someone to fix it cause I found a repair that was only $60 and theirs wanted $190. How crazy is that. If they're going to pay for the part who cares who puts it in unless they're scamming me for just more money. I am very upset with their service and will never buy again.

Whirlpool dishwasher Wdt790slym1 - This is the worst dishwasher I have ever bought. The top rack assembly is made of all plastic and started falling apart within 13 months of purchase. I have had to order the same replacement parts numerous times and have reached the end of my patience. Buyer beware!!

I have had two Gold Series dishwashers before but the model number I used had been discontinued so I purchased the W10491035A about a year ago in 2013. It has to be the worst dishwashers I have ever had and we have used them for forty years. It's loud. It won’t dry the dishes, and unless you wash I don't mean rinse, most of dishes are not clean, and that is with the recommended detergent. Whatever you do I would suggest not buying this dishwasher. I don't even know why they would offer a machine such as this.

My dishwasher was purchased on 5/12/12. It is a little over 2 years old. The dishwasher wasn't getting the dishes cleaned. I opened it mid-cycle and part of the heating coil was bright red and there was smoke inside of the dishwasher. Good thing I opened it before it ran through its cycle or it may have caught on fire. Unfortunately, I only have a 1 year warranty. This machine is a piece of crap and could have burned our house down. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Bought Whirlpool Gold wdf780slym dishwasher and started using Jan 2013 and used once a day with the right detergent. August 2014, leaking during wash right under pump/motor. Repairman said no kit available and would have to replace complete part and gasket was separate. Overall, parts and labor over $400.00. I pulled it out and got a similar Whirlpool closeout for $266 and got the 5 year warranty for $99. Now I know I will have to fix it during that time but hopefully the extended warranty works. All for half the price of the Gold model. What a disgrace! Someone else is going to pay for the next fix.

Purchased the Gold Series Dishwasher Model No: WDF730PAYM0 Serial No: F14403489 on Dec 2011, started using it from Jan 2012. All is good until June 2014. It started leaking from the bottom, called Whirlpool - the great bad company. Since it is not under warranty they asked to schedule an appointment with their local authorized rip off service company. Technician come on the service day and told me that it is $120.00 for the service call and Labor and parts are extra, first of all $120.00 to come to my house is first rip off, that is the reason Whirlpool on their website do not give any estimates on the service call.

Long story short is that my dishwasher was 7 months old and two parts went out on it. 4 months (and almost 3 hours total on the phone) later it still does not work. Whirlpool only has one repair person in our area and that person is a small business owner who works alone and is now in his 2nd week of vacation leaving no one else in his shop to do repair while he is out. I do not know if my part is ordered nor do I have a repair date! Never will I ever again purchase a $900.00 dishwasher or any appliance from Whirlpool!

I had started the dishwasher and had gone to bed last night. I came downstairs ten minutes later to get a bottle of water. There was smoke throughout my downstairs levels. Our Whirlpool Gold Dishwasher's control had dark, noxious smoke emitting from it. I tried to turn it off but it was too hot to touch. I went to the breaker box and shut it off there, turned on fans, and went back to bed. This morning, it turned the electricity back on. It started smoking again. I tried to cancel the cycle but it wouldn't cancel. I opened the door to stop the cycle and it continued spraying water and still wouldn't shut down. I had to shut it off at the breaker again. Next problem is my refrigerator, washer and dryer are all on the same breaker. UGH! This is the second Whirlpool I have had. The first one had a rusted tub that leaked into our basement. The repair guy said he had never seen that before...sure...why would you put something in a dishwasher that would rust out on you? Whirlpool, NEVER AGAIN. I WILL PASS THIS INFO ON TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON I EVER KNOW. COUNT ON IT.

Aug 2012 bought washer, dryer, stove microwave/hood, dishwasher, fridge. $5000 later I had a service call on washer. Clothes stuck in washer for over 3 days to get fixed. Oven igniter has went out for the third time, 1 broke knob on stove. Dishwasher leaves dishes wet after cycle. Fridge handle fell off, crisper drawer rail broke off, and a door shelf is cracked.

We recently bought a home and our dishwasher came with the home. We saw our basement leaking and got 2 plumbers come over and check the pipes out, paying almost $600, only to realize that the leak was actually from the broken plastic in our dishwasher, and not any pipe. When we called the Customer Service to get it replaced as it comes with a 20 year warranty on the plastic body, they said they would replace the part, but I would have to pay $81 for the first 15 min & $19 every additional 15 min. for labor, which means I would end up paying at least close to $400 or more, depending on how long the technician takes to replace the fiber body. Neither their policy nor warranty make any sense to me. It's frustrating to see that in spite of being covered, I would be the one paying money out of my pocket.

We purchased Whirlpool dishwasher Model #GU3200XTXB Nov. 2011. Two weeks later they replaced the soap/rinse aid dispenser because the rinse aid was running out the bottom of the dispenser. Feb. 2012 they replaced the handle which was loose. July 2012 the panel lights weren't working and that was replaced. Feb. 2014 the soap dispenser door would not open, so the dispenser was replaced again. March 2014 the soap door would not open again so the computer board was replaced & the door did open. However, it stopped again 3 days later.

I purchased the Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher, Model DU1055XTVQ0, Serial # FY3762359. The racks are cheaply made and rusting! Almost all of the tips on the racks are rusting, causing them to corrode and break off completely! This dishwasher is well under 5 years old. Not sure what we paid for this machine but the racks should not be doing this after this short length of time. They shouldn't be doing this after any length of time.

Purchased Whirlpool Dishwasher 1 year ago. I use the Dishwasher once a week. When the Dishwasher was originally installed, immediately I noticed when dishes were placed the racks, there is an annoying squeaking sound. I am not exaggerating but the noise can be heard from my sidewalk outside! I called Whirlpool and a technician was sent to my residence. "There is nothing wrong with your Dishwasher." I was told to "Grease" the racks. One year later I still have the same issue! I placed the phone near the Dishwasher to have the Customer Service Rep hear the Loud Squeaking and to no avail.

Whirlpool Duet 2009 Model WFW9400SW02 - Worst experience ever with a new Whirlpool front Load washing machine. It broke down with error codes F28, F70, F71 13th month just after warranty and was leaking water. Bought 1 yr 153.00 Whirlpool extended warranty. Many reviews in internet have same complaint. Immediately had it repaired after waiting my 60 days to use warranty, but did not work after the door latch switch and one of 3 main circuit boards was replaced which was over $600.00. That was 2 visits. Fired them and had warranty company send different repair Co.

This was beyond scary on the WHIRLPOOL GOLD QUIET PARTNER IV. It was beyond scary. She was not making a noise, just dangling there and I happened to come into the room and see it. She could of strangled to death or broken her neck. I want to know how to get the whole bottom tray with no gaps in the metal there. It is dangerous. One tries to keep animals away from it, but... a kid could catch a bracelet or watch on there too maybe? Anyways this is bad.

We purchase the Whirlpool Gold Dishwasher GU2400XTPB7 with our new home. This dishwasher has a plastic tub. For some unknown reason the dishwasher started to leak, I checked every hose connection and could not find the leak until I noticed four small burn marks in the plastic tub underneath the heating element. It actually looks like someone took a cigarette to the plastic. One of the burns went through the plastic tub, and this is where the leak is. Note: at no time did any of our dishes touch the heating element.

2 years ago, we remodeled our kitchen. We replaced with all Whirlpool appliances. WHAT A MISTAKE! Our ice maker went crazy 1 month ago and now our dishwasher almost caught fire Memorial Day weekend while we were away! Thermal Fuse and stainless interior prevented us from losing our house to fire but really Whirlpool, you spend that kind of money and all appliances are breaking before they're even 3 yrs old! My husband is very good at fixing things but when he diagnosed dishwasher, he said he has to find a way to fix wires in control panel because melted insulation. Now I am afraid of it. So if you purchase Whirlpool, expect maybe 2.5 to 3 yrs service and think of them like a disposable lighter, use it and throw away.

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher that is under warranty. The dishwasher failed and Whirlpool service gave me a written report acknowledging their part had failed. It caused $20,000 worth of documented damage. Their adjuster came out after waiting for one month. I have a claim with them and no one contacts me. For a few weeks I was dealing with their legal dept and they said they were going to turn it over to the company that made the defect part. To which I advised them Whirlpool did the damage, I will deal only with them.

Began using the dishwasher (model number DU1345XTVQ4 bought at Lowes in Hot Springs Arkansas) in April 2011. The upper arm will not spin. I have ordered parts, cleaned the machine and have several times tried to fix the problem. Using all the information given on how to fix the problem. I do not that expect that in this short amount of time I should be having these problems. Also getting a repair person is a lot of money to be spent on an appliance that is only 3 years old used, only used by my husband and myself. I always felt Whirlpool was a reliable appliance but reading all the complaints I am uncertain. What can be done for this problem?

I purchased the model WDF530PAYM0 serial: F14106104 dishwasher. The foremost reason I purchased this was it had nylon racks. I have discovered that the racks are rusting! It is rusting on the ends where nothing can touch it. I am very disappointed that it is advertised having nylon racks and now it is rusting and deteriorating. This dishwasher states racks-nylon, not racks-nylon coated.

Dishwasher (WDT710PAYM5) handle on the left side loosened within 2 weeks of purchase. Today the handle fell completely off. The dishwasher will be a year old in August of this year. I cannot figure out how to reattach the handle and there is nothing I can find in the owner's manual to help me. There are only two of us and I am the one who uses the dishwasher. This should not have happened. Not real impressed with this machine.

The dishwasher racks in Whirlpool/Amana/Kitchen Aid/Maytag dishwashers do not last as long as the dishwasher does. The vinyl coating on the "cheap metal" tines wears off causing the metal underneath to corrode and rust. This rust will deposit on your flatware, stainless or otherwise. When the vinyl coating wears away at the base of the tines, the tines will break off, creating more opportunity for rust to deposit onto flatware. You can purchase new tips for the end of the tines, and more vinyl to paint onto the tines, but you cannot replace the tines themselves or paint the vinyl onto any rusty surfaces.

My dishwasher control board caught fire yesterday. Noxious fumes and black smoke with popping noises moments after starting it. Was glad we had not gone to bed and glad we were home when it happened. Would not shut off and the door was hot to touch. Had to turn off switch on wall.

I purchased this Whirlpool dishwasher from Sears on 3/25/2010. Then on 8/11/2012 the dishwasher completely failed to operate. I called for service and they checked it out and they found out that the control board had failed due to moisture getting into the electronic components. They replaced the control board & control panel and the dishwasher has worked until today (2/08/2014) - 17 months, and now exhibits the same problem. The original repair costs including labor was over $400. Not really acceptable and demonstrates very poor quality control and design @ Whirlpool. As of now, I am considering whether to purchase a new machine (obviously neither a Whirlpool or Sears product). As part of the original service the soap dispenser also failed and had to be replaced. I believe Whirlpool should be responsible for some of the repair costs.

Whirlpool Quiet Partner II Model # DU1055XTUS1 - We bought the dishwasher in Aug 2010 and after the 2nd yr, it started to occasionally shut off by itself in early cycle. After 3 yrs, it now shuts off repeatedly... needs to be restarted at least 15 times. It use to shut down early in the cycle. Now it shuts off whenever. I should have read the reviews on this dishwasher before buying but it was on sale for such a good price. I guess I got what I paid for. Just keep in mind that Whirlpool dishwasher seem to last only 3 years. I guess that's also why their warranty for electrical parts is one of the worst compared to other brands.

For the last month, in order to wash dishes, we have to start the dishwasher normally. The water will begin to fill the tub and then stop and all the display lights go out. We push the cancel/drain button and the dishwasher empties the water in the tub. We again, push the desired wash cycle button just like the first time and the dishes wash normally. We have purchased at least two of this same type dishwasher with the utensil holder in the door from Whirlpool in the past, with great satisfaction.

For the last 5 years, 3 Whirlpool dishwashers. For these years been tracking to see how long they will work, but it seem like they are not build to satisfy the customer. Many telephone calls to service, but they will use the same lines, "Nothing we can do... your extended warranty expired." From now on will look for a different brand.

We have owned the Whirlpool Quiet Partner II for about 2.5 years. We purchased this from our local Lowe's store (on sale). For the first few months, everything was fine. Then, the dishwasher stopped completing a full cycle and left the dishes somewhat dirty. I found online that I could reset the controls by pressing heated dry-normal-heated dry-normal quickly.When the cycle starts, I press cancel and then set the cycle I want and it will do it correctly. I do this every time I wash the dishes since I don't know when it will decide to stop working (wasting water and soap to redo).

When using the Normal Cycle the machine quits and does not complete the cycle and the bottom is full of water. We then push the Cancel/Drain button and the water drains out. Sometimes this will repeat before it will go through a complete cycle. Today, my wife changed the cycle to Pots and Pans after it had stopped in the Normal cycle and it is running fine. This has been a problem for at least 3 months.

When I bought my new retirement home, a Whirlpool dishwasher Model No. DU1055XTVS1 had been installed. After only three years of use, the dishwasher would not complete a cycle except to drain and cancel. The repairman replaced a computer board and when the parts cost and the service cost were combined, they amounted to about half the cost of the dishwasher. I have a PC that is twice the age of the dishwasher and it is still running.

On November 22, 2013 I loaded my Whirlpool Quiet Partner III dishwasher and set it to start. About a minute later I heard an odd noise coming from the machine. I went over to take a look and saw black smoke and flames coming from the little vent area at the lower right corner of the control panel. I opened the door to stop the machine but the washer kept going throwing water all over the floor. I shut the door and ran and turned off the breaker and then unplugged the cord from under the sink. Two different repair service companies said they would be hesitant to try and repair it due to possible unseen damages. I was lucky that I was home when it happened. I could have lost my house to a fire. There is a large consumer lawsuit already in play regarding this very thing.

When I moved into my current home, this dishwasher(Whirlpool Quiet Partner 1) was already installed. It had never been used until I moved in. After two years of 2-3 times a week use, I have major problems. It will not complete a wash cycle, regardless of what settings I use. It runs long enough for the soap dispenser to release the Finish tablets which dissolve, but then the dishwasher stops running. The dishes are not clean, and neither is the interior of the dishwasher. It also appears to be leaking when it runs. I cannot afford to replace it, so either I will repair it myself or use it to store pots and pans.

Our dishwasher stopped working after 13 months. We are a family of 2 and use it once a week. We called Whirlpool and were told since it is past 12 months, they would do nothing but give us the name of a repairman in the area. We called our own repairman and $120 later, the sensor that had malfunctioned was replaced. Quite costly on a $450 dishwasher. Now, after 15 months, the handle on the lower broiler portion of my Range has come off and the screws will not hold because the plastic around them deteriorated.

Four years ago, we remodeled our kitchen and purchased the Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher, with a one-year service warranty. To be fair, we have not had a problem with the operation of the dishwasher, but rather, the quality of the dishwasher. Within the first two years, the front panel of the dishwasher started turning brown and "rusting" through from the steam escaping the dishwasher. The labels on the operating buttons have peeled off, again, from the heat of the dishwasher. The upright spokes on bottom tray, that hold dishes and etc. in place, started rusting through and breaking off. Guides which allow top drawer to slide in and out and hold drawer in place, have weakened, so drawer is constantly dropping or sagging.

We bought a Gold Series dishwasher on 2/12/2013. It stopped working properly and we had a service call on August 6, 2013. Since then, we have had 3 companies come out 5 different times to try to fix the machine. Nothing on the top rack gets clean. In fact ,they come out dirtier than when they go in. The last service call was on October 7, 2013. I was told by a Whirlpool representative that the repairman would call technical services and that if the problem was not solved, that the machine would be deemed unrepairable and that Whirlpool would replace the machine since it was within the warranty. I was also told that their standard is that if a machine has to have 3 service repairs to be deemed unrepairable.

We bought this dishwasher 3 years ago and have had nothing but trouble with it. Our friends bought one just like it the same day. It basically runs when it wants to. It has really been a pain. We also bought a refrigerator about the same time. The ice maker builds up frost and you can't get the ice to dispense. We are very disappointed in these products. Had a Hotpoint dishwasher that lasted 25 years and was still working when we replaced it with this one. Our Amana fridge was still working when we replaced it. Just needed new seals.

We purchased a dishwasher for $650 and within a very short period of time, the upper rack was so squeaky that it was intolerable. Service guys came and replaced the rack and wheels and all was well until a few months passed and it happened again. At that point, it was outside of the warranty, so we called upon our extended warranty we bought through Whirlpool. Guess what? That warranty doesn't cover the racks. So they referred us back to Whirlpool. They told us we had to pay for it ourselves. After being treated like a ping pong ball several times, we ended up paying about $150 for labor for another guy to come out and replace the racks again.

Have had mine for 21 years. Okay, the soap dispenser door would not stay shut after about 19 years. No real problem, just placed the dishwasher tablet on the bottom of a mug on top shelf. Now the timer sticks and has to be rotated manually. I think after 21 years, it is time to replace it with another Whirlpool. This one owes me nothing for 21 years service.

First three months, the main water gasket "broke. Thank you for lots of water all over the kitchen. I pulled the washer out to inspect the cause, wanted to see if it was house plumbing or dishwasher. The hose was hanging off the bottom of the machine. During the 45-minute call, I got in my car and drove to plumbing supply and applied a new hose clamp. The next day, a "free" service call, the repairman said it was the second one this week, "That's just what I would have done," but would not put the machine back. (void the warranty, finish work, etc...not sure how he would have serviced the machine if I did not pull it out for him).

We purchased a new refrigerator and dishwasher about three and a half years ago. There are only two of us living in the house and we both work so it is not like we use our dishwasher every day. Dishwasher is Whirlpool Whisper Quiet III Gold model. About three months ago, the panel lights quit working but the dishwasher would still run. Now the blasted thing will not even turn on. Our ice maker freezes up and we are always having to ice pick out the ice and clean out the ice maker. Basically, we never use it because we are tired of the process of cleaning it just to have ice.

I myself cannot believe this. We remodeled kitchen in 1992. Gradually we had to replace the appliances except Whirlpool dishwasher. It still works okay. Only sometimes the detergent tablet does not dissolve. Anyway after 21 years, we are replacing it with another WP dishwasher.

We purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher on 10/08/12 from Lowe’s in Howell, NJ. Shortly after using it we noticed a "fishy" smell from it even after the dishes were cleaned. They looked clean but the dishes & dishwasher itself emitted that odor. I called Whirlpool & they told me to use a Vinegar wash & try the Affresh tabs which we did for the next few months. By summer I called Whirlpool again & they referred me to the Lowe’s where we purchased it. Lowe’s set up a repair company to come out & look at it since it is still under warranty. They came out & discovered the drain pump had to be replaced. It took almost two weeks before they came back to fix it.

I have a two year old Whirlpool dishwasher. The soap dispenser cover broke shortly after the warranty ran out. It cost 100.00 for repairs. A year later, it broke again. I sent a letter and the part to the CEO of Whirlpool. They sent a repairmen to fix it free of charge. When you have a problem with a Whirlpool product go to the head of the company. If they get enough calls they will make better parts. Call 1-269-759-6919. Write a letter, return request receipt. It takes a little effort, but it helps a lot of people.

Whirlpool Energy Saver Dishwasher Model DU850SWPS3 was placed in our new home purchased in May of 2010. We just found that this dishwasher had a slow leak in the seal to the motor which has ruined our hardwood floor, subflooring and part of a laminate beam on the floor directly below the washer, plus molding from the water. The leak has been going on sometime it was not noticed until the floor became so soaked from use over a long period of time that we finally saw the leak, by accident, in the basement which we hardly access.

Whirlpool Dishwasher "Quiet Partner III" Model #8575637, White - Purchased in 2006. As of July 2013, I can say this is the worst dishwasher we have ever owned. After normal use (once a day or less), the plastic on the front control panel began cracking in the first year, and the button covers have fallen off completely. Dishes were never completely clean (at least not as clean as other dishwashers). Dishwasher leaked out one side and needed repairs. Now it is in need of a new valve, because no water is coming into the inner cavity. Repairman says it is likely that the control board, which is getting moisture into it after losing buttons, etc., will probably need to be replaced soon as well. $300 more to spend on a repair bill.

Purchased the new dishwasher in 2009 through the builder of our home. I quit working completely like there was no power to it. We replaced the fuse to it and then it worked, but kept pausing during the cycle. Sometimes it will completely go off and then when the control panel comes back on, it sits paused until you push the button. We replaced the computer with a new one and it works even worse. It shuts down more often and still requires a restart. So frustrating! Appliances should last longer than a couple of years.

We also have the problem where the control pad buttons have cracked and are falling off. It almost looks like there were circular cuts made by the manufacturer which were too deep. It looks horrible and they should never have done this. The plastic coating on many rack supports has melted or cracked and started to rust. This unit is 4-5 years old and these problems began early-on. As far as the operation of the unit, it cleans fine and has functioned as it should.

I took the Sears salesman's suggestion and bought a high-end "quiet" dishwasher. It worked wonderfully until it sprung a major leak. Computer told me the phone # to call. It took a week for the Sears repairman to come out and $79 fee to just look at it. He said the fitting between the sump and the pump came off and flooded water over the electric motor. Electric motor is shot! Cost to repair is over $400 and a 3-week wait!!! When and if a new motor is installed, only then do we know if the computer is also fried. This was a high-end dishwasher. Factory warranty just ran out. Repairman said this is a common problem with this model. DO NOT BUY THIS MODEL.

The dishwasher is less than 2 years old, out of warranty, and will not start. The repairman said the problem is in the electronics. It would cost $500+ to repair.

Ours is 5-8 years old, I guess, but we had the same problem. My husband used a screwdriver, took off the top rack's rotating spray wand in the ceiling and it had lots of crud build up in it. Cleaned and replaced it and now there's no more grit in the glasses! We have hard water; that may be part of it. Now I've found rust spots in the tub... :)

Had some dishwasher liquid soap on some glass mugs. I washed three times and it still would not come off. RIDICULOUS. Will NEVER buy Whirlpool again. Quality has gone to you-know-where.

I am done with Whirlpool. Everything I have bought is failing. I bought all new appliances when moving into my home. Dishwasher, 2.5 years old, quit. Cost is going to be as much as a new one. Refrigerator quit at 5 years old, what a mess that was. Paint is peeling off my clothes washer. I am not going to buy or recommend any more of this junk.

This dishwasher was a mere 2.2 years old, installed by Lowes-hired technician and the part will cost $168 through Whirlpool, plus labor on both first visit and installation visit. I would not advise to purchase this or similar product from Whirlpool. What really makes me upset is that I learned from customer service that this unit was made in the USA.

I purchased a dishwasher on 1/4/2006. I have had several calls since purchase. I talked with Whirlpool asking them to replace it or a compensation of some form and they flatly said never. Approx. $750.00 worth of repairs to a dishwasher that cost $450.00.

I purchased a dishwasher less than 6 months ago from Menards. Since then, I have had to have it repaired twice, due to items getting past the filters and clogging up the drains, so the dishwasher wouldn't drain. I have a 1-year warranty that came with the dishwasher, so both repairs were covered. However, I felt that there should be more done by the company, such as a free extended warranty to cover the cost of repairs as I'm sure there will be more; and this is a problem that even the repair man said shouldn't be happening.

Quiet Partner II - Our dishwasher racks started to crack and rust very quickly, about two years after purchase. We repaired the racks and tines, but the rust got worse. We replaced our dishwasher today with another brand. Many of the tines on the drying rack had rusted and broken off. We have been told to only purchase Nylon racks. I hope this is good advice. I must admit I had no trouble with the machine as far as cleaning my dishes. I just felt the racks should last longer than two years. Cost to replace racks was about the same as replacing the whole machine.

I had my Whirlpool Quiet Partner 11 Portable Dishwasher for less than a year when it started leaving dirt, food particles, and white cloudy film on my glasses and dishes in the top basket. It got so bad that we started to wash the dishes twice but it would not clean the dishes. We called a repairman out to see what the problem could be. He checked everything and told us nothing was wrong with the dishwasher and to clean it with CLR. We cleaned it with CLR twice and the dishes looked better with the first wash. The next wash was the same with leaving grit and dried food particles on the glasses. I am now washing my dishes by hand if I want to clean dishes. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my dishwasher? I am ready to buy a new one but not a Whirlpool.

I purchased this appliance for a rental property in April of 2010. The residence has been empty 6 months since ownership, but the pump has already failed. Despite recall #605 information found online, I was advised that there is no recall in place to date. I am very dissatisfied and will no longer purchase a Whirlpool or Maytag product due to poor performance history. I have to pay 1/2 the purchase price to repair.

I purchased a Whirlpool Dishwasher, model DU1010XTXB1, 13 months ago and now it won't drain nor come on. Interestingly enough, the company claims no fault and wants to charge $129 just to diagnose it. This product has never worked properly, happens to have recalls for the exact same model number, yet won't acknowledge or expand its serial # coverage despite that it is the same exact problems! Do not buy from Whirlpool!

I just bought a new dishwasher because my 5-year-old one went out, model number DU1145XTPBA. After pulling the old one out, I took the motor out and lo and behold, what did I find but bad bearings. The motor was fine, just the bearings were rusted out and were jamming the motor so that it wouldn't move. The price of a new motor, $149.00. Well that's a bit much for something that only lasts 5 years. I went on eBay and found them for $70 to $170.00. So if you have a problem where your dish won't wash at all but fills up with water, it may be nothing more than cheap bearings in the motor. If I, myself, were this company's CEO i would really consider changing companies that they have making these motors or at least the bearings. Just wanted you to know that this is the only problem I have had with this one and I'm going to replace the motor now that I know what it is. Thank you Whirlpool for a day spending repairing and replacing one of your dishwashers. I learned a lot.

Where do I go? All my Whirlpool appliances that are less than 8 years old have major issues. The dishwasher is making a terrible noise and doesn't clean well. The side by side refrigerator ice maker doesn't work. The stove top light won't go out unless you hit the stove with your fist and the oven/microwave unit LED panel is barely legible and frequently goes out as a power failure. The oven had to have the glass replaced in the first year because steam from a lid hit the glass and cracked. Of course this is not under warranty. What do I do? I have spent multiple thousands for these energy-efficient appliances. I bought them through Lowe’s. Help me.

I purchased my Whirlpool dishwasher (MDC4650AWW) on February 20, 2010. A few days ago, it would not start. There are no lights on the control panel. We did some checking and found some corrosion on the wiring (ribbon) where it is attached to the control panel. It is apparent that moisture was getting into the electronics compartment.

The dishwasher keypad failed after 1.5 years, went through 2 gas ranges, peeling paint and orange flame in less than a year. Now dealing with the washer, the pump is spitting out white plastic after less than a year. No more Whirlpool in this house.

We purchased a top of the line (we thought) Whirlpool stainless dishwasher 15 months ago from HHGregg. All was fine until 2 weeks ago - it produced a "burning" smell and was making a "funny" noise. We had it looked out. The motor is burning out. I called Whirlpool and explained the issue. There is nothing they can do. It is over 12 months. Really? They can't stand behind their product? I understand if it was a small part or such but an entire motor burning out in just over a year? I know that not all products can be perfect, some times mistakes slip through the line. I guess it was silly of me to expect a company in today's age to stand behind their name and product. Obviously, with this company, it is buyer beware.

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher on March 13, 2007, along with a 3-year extended warranty. Well on Nov. 15, 2011, I had a part in the control panel go out, so they replaced it and they charged me $129.00 for labor and $29.18 for the part. My dishwasher is doing the same thing. It doesn't finish the cycle and I have to restart it, so I called the repairman A&E. They said the part is only guaranteed for 90 days. The part only lasted six months! It's the same part and the same problem. It should be considered a defective part. No matter how many you have replaced the part, it is going to need to be replaced and at $160.00, I can't afford it. They should have to pay for defective parts. Also on this model GU2600XTPSI on the panel buttons, the start button was made with this puffy plastic that has pulled apart and now it looks terrible! None of the other buttons were made this way.

We bought the dishwasher on 12/28/11. It broke 4 weeks later. I had the company come out to fix it. 6 months later, it broke again, needed a whole new "control board". 3 months later, it broke again, they came out and did some type of repair. 7 months later, it broke again and it needed a whole new control board. They wanted to charge us $250.00 for this, but after some major arguing in regards to how "New" this was and the warranty now out, they waived the fee. 3 weeks later, the same problem as before! I am so angry about this lemon of a dishwasher! They are coming out again today! I am quite sure they will need to replace the control board again! I will never buy another Whirlpool product.

Yes, Whirlpool makes Maytag, I'm still paying for this junk. Too much to go into detail. I had to bypass the crummy fuse system in the Bravo dryer and hook up my own 15amp automotive fuse in the dryer to keep it working. This after two lame under-contract Maytag repairmen replaced "the dreaded board", which did nothing. The washer goes cabunk, cabunk, cabunk throughout the house and shuts down with an unlevel code (no matter how level the load is) every time it does its load during the spin cycle. The dishwasher handle broke off and had to use a screwdriver to pry the handle latch open, until realized it doesn't even lock anyway and just pulled the door open.

I purchased Whirlpool dishwasher, model DU930PWSTO, in 9/2007. It quit working in 5/2012. I expected an appliance made by a reputable manufacturer (Whirlpool) to last longer than five years. It seems like a manufacturing racket where they build these things only to be replaced a short time later. With service calls and parts replacement, it's cheaper to buy a new unit. Talk about a circle jerk! And who the heck puts anything else but SS screws in a water soaked appliance? Duh. Rust!

Well, this saga continues. Whirlpool dishwasher was purchased at the HH Gregg on Rockville Road on March 17, 2012. Whirlpool dishwasher broke down on May 17, 2012. I bought the extended warranty but who cares? HH Gregg doesn't because it does not go into effect until a year after purchase. So since it's less than year, I called Whirlpool, who sent someone out a week later, who, of course, cannot fix the brand new dishwasher because 2 parts had to be ordered. This was almost 2 weeks ago! I still have not heard from the company, A & E, who works for Whirlpool here in Indy. Whirlpool called me on Monday to tell me they're sorry and blah, blah, and will try to find part in five more days. Then ship it to me, and, of course, it will probably take another week for the maintenance man to fix it. I mean, I grew up having to wash dishes by hand, so no big problem. But when you spend $600 to $800 for a supposedly nice product to enjoy the leisure time of your life and get extended warranties, you expect it to work for at least 6 months before breaking down. So be warned. Do not buy Whirlpool, and furthermore, beware of buying extended warranties and appliances at HH Gregg.

We bought a Whirlpool dishwasher (Ser# F21102027MOD, Model# WDF730PAYB2) after reading some of the reports that it was just as good as a Bosch. Wrong! We bought this washer March 17. On May 17, the selector switch and sub control broke down. We had bought this item at the HH Gregg store here, and also purchased a 5-year warranty which they said we cannot use because the dishwasher is only 2 months old. Is there a lemon law? And what makes this worse is that we called Whirlpool on May 18th. They could not get anyone out here until May 25th to look at it. As of this time, they still could not fix it because the two parts had to be ordered. Today is June 1st and the part is still not in? Makes me think, does this part always go down because it's on back order? So you are fully warned, do not purchase a Whirlpool. If I can get some extra money, I am throwing it out and buy a Bosch because I don't think it will ever be fixed.

I purchased a high-end Whirlpool dishwasher (WDT710PAYM) a few months ago thinking I was making a wise upgrade. Poor design and it won't dry dishes or properly wash utensils when they're placed in the utensil rack on the door panel. The unit heavily condenses after using heat dry mode and large water droplets completely cover the top of the inside cabinet. Eventually, they all fall down into the dishes and you now have wet dishes again. The Whirlpool tech’s response was to scratch the cabinet plastic with a scratchy pad, smear rinse aid over the plastic cabinet and that should stop droplets from forming. Whirlpool’s customer service told me they should've never told me that and what I should do is "be there during the drying cycle and open the cabinet door to let the steam out." This is completely ludicrous. Don't walk but run away from Whirlpool products.

I purchased 5 Whirlpool appliances when I moved into a new home approximately 5 years ago. The selection buttons on the plastic panels on the front of 3 (dishwasher, washer and dryer) out of the 5 appliances has either broken completely through or are in the process of breaking through, leaving an ugly appearance on the front of the appliances. When inquiring if I could replace these panels, I was told that one (dishwasher) would cost me $100.00. I believe that the structure of these panels has been extremely poorly manufactured. Why would you put perforation around each button? It is obvious that they would push through. What can Whirlpool do for me?

I got a new Whirlpool dishwasher and it is totally unacceptable. It's supposed to be energy efficient and the eco setting, which is supposed to be the most energy efficient, takes 3 1/2 hours and does not do a good job, doesn't dry the dishes. I've tried all the settings and some take over 4 hours. I have talked to someone at Whirlpool twice and they say that's the way it works. How can anyone put out a product that doesn't work and get away with it? I had my last Whirlpool for over 12 years and it took not even an hour and did a wonderful job.

Whirlpool Du1100xtpb3 dishwasher: The spring on the latch keeps coming off (3 times in two months). The service repair man charged me for replacing the latch when all that was wrong with it was the spring. That being said, now we are fixing it ourselves. For your information, there is a paper in the bottom of the dishwasher that tells you what is wrong by how the lights are flashing. So each time we replace the spring, we have to reprogram it by pushing a sequence of buttons. Still, I can't figure why the spring won't stay on. Help me if you can.

Installed in May 2007, paid $674 for GU2455XTSS1 Whirlpool Dishwasher. It required service in March 2009 for $158 It became noisy in Oct 2011, so I placed a service call for $136. It was very noisy in Jan 2012. Again, I placed service call for an additional $93 that Whirlpool has not reimbursed. I must now replace the motor quoted at $403. The motor has a 90-day warranty. The 4.5 year old dishwasher must now be replaced. Whirlpool has not responded to email and to registered letter requesting a cost-effective solution to repair dishwasher that recognizes that reasonable life of the unit should be 10+ years and not 4.5 years.

Brand new Whirlpool dishwasher from PC Richards. Model #WDT710PAYB2. Don't buy one of these! In the store, I was turned off by the panel being on top of the door and not visible when the door is closed. I don't understand why anyone would not want to see the cycles and operation but my husband insisted that was a "good thing" so I agreed to purchase. Well, it's horrible! I pressed the panel buttons the first time I tried to use it, and the panel switch is erratic and all over the place. For example, if I press "Normal," the "Heavy" cycle button light goes on. When I hit "start," all the button lights shut off. I finally get all the lights to stay on and hit start (after about 10 tries) and when I shut the door, the start button blinks and beeps! The dishwasher does not start. After many attempts, I got it to run, miraculously, for about 10 minutes. It emptied the detergent dispenser and left everything inside wet and slimy. Nice. I can't believe Whirlpool would sell such an inferior product. I have always been a loyal Whirlpool customer, but after this experience, I think it's time to switch appliance brands. Now I have to be inconvenienced without a dishwasher after spending over $500 and wait for a repairman. Thanks, Whirlpool!

The latch on the attached-to-the-door silverware basket on our Whirlpool GU3600XTVQ3 dishwasher has broken three times since the unit was installed in July 2011. This last time, the technician brought a new one and it broke the next day. I cannot understand why a company with a supposedly good reputation would include an accessory with such a faulty design, made of such flimsy materials. We have the basket wired shut again and have to call the repair place, but I have no confidence that anything the technician brings to us will work any better, since it's the same stupid design and shoddy workmanship.

I bought a Whirlpool dishwasher from lowest in May of 2011 and it stopped draining, serial # f11601686. I was told it was under warranty and you sent someone out. But surprise, I got a $129 service bill and it couldn't be fixed, computer board gone and drain motor shot. I was told it's cheaper to buy a new one. After 10 months of use, we need a new one. I think you should replace my dishwasher and pay for a service call. Oh, the reason they said it wasn't covered is because they sold me a 2007 model.

The dishwasher chopper blade broke, and the check valve is gone. My over-the-stove microwave handle came off in my hand, and the top cover for the fan fell off in a pan of hot grease and almost burned me. What the hell is wrong with this picture? I paid a lot of money for inferior products, and I can't find replacement parts anywhere. And they are expensive when you can find them.

Whirlpool under-counter dishwasher (model DU1345XTVB0) was purchased 14 months ago. Upper rack plastic adjustable wheel rack is broken. Will not replace. Dishwasher has probable design flaw with wheel positions causing overhanging load to put extreme stress on outer two wheels. The design was done to save money instead of having telescoping rails as most dishwashers do. Explained this. They will not even send a part. Many other Whirlpool dishwashers use these parts. Probable class action suit material.

About 4 years ago we replaced all our appliances to Whirlpool-- what a mistake! The product is not what it used to be. It is cheaply made. It breaks down in 2 years, makes noises. And on top of that to replace some cheap plastic part costs a fortune!

I bought a Whirlpool dishwasher. It has a plastic removable cap to pour in the liquid for their "Rinse Aid" drying. It is something like a bottle cap, a 25 cent part. I lost it. I called up, they wanted 12 dollars for the part and 9 dollars for shipping. They refused to just put it in an envelope and put a 30 cent stamp on it.

On October 21st 2011, Michael sent their technician, Steve, to my residence to check my washing machine. I was in the house the whole duration of his visit. After testing he concluded that the control board of my machine is faulty. Although he brought with him his own control board but he never showed me my machine working when he installed his control board, even though I was in the house at the time. With my lack of knowledge at the time, I missed requesting that he show me the machine working with his control board. But he should have involved me in the diagnosis since I was just home and should have been his initiative. Anyway, Steve then said that the total cost of the control board plus service is $194.03 on top of the diagnosis fee of $81.19.

If you are thinking of buying any Whirlpool products, please think twice. We had a dishwasher, lasted 2 years; range with cook-top, within 2 years computer had to be replaced and again in another 2 years. Needless to say we did not replace either one with a Whirlpool. Over the range Microwave Oven Magnetron blows in 5 years. 3 months over the warranty. In a call to Whirlpool we were told "we are sorry you have had all this trouble, we will send a repair man out and he can replace the parts needed." Thanks, but no thanks and went out and purchased a Samsung model, probably cheaper than the repairs would have cost us. There are so many good appliances to choose from. Please stay away from any Whirlpool products, no need for additional aggravation.

Whirlpool dishwasher failed after 16 months. It leaks continuously. they sent a service provider 5 days later out to fix it, then said there would be a $129 fee for coming (this was never mentioned at time of appointment), and the total repair cost would be $208. I wasted a day waiting for repair person to come, I declined the repair due to the cost. I called customer service later, during office hours, and I received the poorest level of customer service I have ever experienced.

Certain brands of dishwashers made by Whirlpool, including Whirlpool, Kitchenaid and Kenmore, are a fire hazard. Most appeared to be made in the mid-00's. My Kenmore Elite, model# 665.16293400, bought in March 2006, started emitting a burning plastic smell. I removed the door panel and found where the control board wires have been overheating and melting the plastic liner inside the door.

I bought a Whirlpool dishwasher in 2008 from Best Buy and purchased the extended warranty through Best Buy. First of all, my complaint is not with Best Buy (model # DU1145XTPBA). I have had nothing but trouble with the unit not filling with water, being noisy, and other problems. And then, my intelligence is insulted by these independent contractors, who are supposed to be appliance repair specialists. I found that far from the truth in most cases. They have a list of patented things that the consumer is doing wrong: not having a hot water heater next to the unit, using too much detergent, not loading it properly, and on and on. They must think we are idiots. I always would run the water from the sink till it got hot before filling. And I am a miser so I use less detergent than what the manufacturer or the detergent package says.

I bought a new house in Hattiesburg with a Whirlpool dishwasher that is loud. It runs normally but when you open it the dishes are just as dirty as when you put them in if not worse since it will spray any residue from the bottom to the top shelf. I have taken it out and inspected all lines and such but can find nothing wrong to the naked eye. Thus I’ve got dirty dishes that must soak since the drying cycle retakes grime back on and then be rewashed.

It was horrible! I paid $568 for a Whirlpool dishwasher from Lowe's in 3/09. The Clean light flashed, then stopped and flashed again. I didn't buy an extended warranty, because I felt Whirlpool was a great company. I had A&E Factory Service come for a service call, paying $70 later w/ tax, only to find out that the heater is no longer working. It would cost $216 to fix it, and we had to remove the dishwasher. Why bother for the total of Today's service call and the repair, when I could buy a new dishwasher? It cost $568, and it lasted a little over 2 years! It was horrible. There's no warranty and no help from Whirlpool, because I didn't buy a warranty. Guess, my dishes will air dry, and I might as well do them myself!

Rust stains started appearing under the protective coating on the stainless panel after 10 months. The service person said that it was a defect in the metal but when he called it in, they said it wasn't covered because it was after the 30-day limit. I tried several times to get someone to listen but always the same answer, "after 30 days".

If I could give half a star, I would. I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher. Once installed, it leaked immediately. Thinking it is best to call Whirlpool for repairs under warranty, they decided to send out a technician from A&E Factory Repair. This is where the service sucks.

I purchased Whirlpool dishwasher in March of 2011. In July of 2011, the stainless steel front started getting rust spots. Called Whirlpool and they sent a local repairman out. After 3 weeks, I called Whirlpool again and was told that the rust is cosmetic. I insisted that I have other appliances with stainless steel and they do not rust. Either they used a inferior grade of steel, or it's not steel at all. They repeated it was cosmetic and they are unwilling to do anything about it.

I bought Whirlpool Quiet Partner II from Lowe's. Four years after purchase, the key pad starts blinking and the machine won't start. I called Whirlpool and they sent a repairman out who tells me that it will cost more than $300 to have it fixed because a part has failed. Whirlpool offered me no help. What a terrible customer service from Whirlpool. Pathetic product. Don't buy Whirlpool. It is not worth paying $300 to fix it when it might have another problem.

I called to find out if they could assist me with my dishwasher. It is 1 year and 3 weeks old. The start button will not switch on the machine. The only way they would assist me is if I would pay the full cost of repair because it is 3 weeks out of warranty! There are no other suggestions. I would have met them half way with paying half the bill but I got nothing but 'I'm sorry and we can't help". They don't stand behind their product.

I bought a Whirlpool Dishwasher, Model No. GU3600XTVY in July 2010 for $844.30. In August 2011, it failed to clean dishes. The repairman said it needed a new heating element and computer board which costs $319.92. Today, he installed the new parts and it still won't heat the water! Now he wants to take it in to the shop to check the wiring.

In 2099, I purchased a Whirlpool Gold from Lowes. It has never cleaned my dishes, especially the pots and pans. My dishes also have a powder coating on them after various cleaning cycles that I have tried. I have tried every detergent available.

I've got a brand new house, with brand new appliances by Whirlpool. Within less than 6 months, my dishwasher, Model no. DU1015XTXB0 Serial no. F00702058, had its electronic board gone bad. Instead of replacing the dishwasher, Whirlpool replaced the part. Not even one year later the same part went bad. Now, the dishwasher is not even 18 months old and it will cost $255.00 to repair. It is just the two of us in our home and I bought Cascade packets 20ct x 5 at Sam's. I'm not even done with the packets, so I know 100% that we have run the dishwasher just 70 cycles in 18 months.

I bought a Whirlpool dishwasher from Lowe's and it has never worked properly ever since. It has been a little over a year now and it will not drain, will not wash dishes, and it stinks so bad that you can't drink out of the glasses. It's a total piece of junk. I called the manager at Lowe's and explained all the problems. He said that he would see what he could do. I left three phone numbers but he never even bothered to call back. I will never buy anything from Lowe's again.

I purchased dishwasher model #GU2800XTVT0 in May of 2009. Today, it leaked water all over and damaged my floor. My husband pulled the dishwasher out of the cabinet and found that the motor had fallen off. It did not have a bracket to hold it in place and worked loose, which then disconnected a hose. I called the customer service but they won't do anything because it is beyond the 12 month warranty. It only lasted slightly more than two years.

I bought dishwasher three years ago and the machine was less than 1 year under warranty. They switched it out with a refurbished machine. That machine broke within 1 year. The warranty had expired. They sent a technician and I paid him $75.00. He said that it could be fixed for $149.00 because the panel board was not working. He replaced the panel board it worked about six months. Now, it has broken again. I called to send another technician out and we paid him $75.00. He then said that it would be $375.00 to fix he problem. We told him no. He left the dishwasher with water in the bottom. Now, I have to get someone to take the machine out and to purchase another machine.

On March 3, I purchased a dishwasher (Model: KUDE70FXSS1 Serial No.: F10202361) on Whirlpool's VIP link, which will more likely be my last Whirlpool purchase based on the slightly damaged product and incredibly poor customer service I've received. Upon delivery of the dishwasher on March 9, I noticed that the left rear wheel was damaged and slightly bent. I also noticed that the unit was a little off balance. But the delivery person explained to me that everything was okay and that the front legs just needed to be adjusted. I believed him and signed the delivery receipts with the additional note about the left rear wheel being damaged.

I called for a fourth replacement of continuing cracked panel on a dishwasher. When they found out there's no extended warranty, they charged it to me. So you must pay extra for a manufacturing problem. Their products are bad!

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher. It does not work and Whirlpool has not honored their warranty.

My Whirlpool dishwasher model DU930PWSTO that I purchased June 16,2011 died on June 21,2011.

The dishwasher caught on fire. When I called to report, Whirlpool said it wasn't on the list that catches fire. I had some minor smoke damage. To add, It made a popping noise, otherwise it would have not been noticed.

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher model GU2275XTVB1, which was installed on Dec 15, 2009. This was considered near the top of the line and not inexpensive. Some time in Dec of 2010 I was having spotting and film on the glasses and plastic. I tried changing detergents but it did not make a difference. Finally I called Whirlpool in January 2011 thinking that the rinse cycle my not be working properly. I was told that the dishwasher was over the one year warranty and I would have to pay a repairman to assess the problem.

The washer is not even 2 years old--bearing needs replacing which cost over $400 in repair bills. All Whirlpool could say is that the 1-year warranty was out and they were no longer responsible.

The Whirlpool dishwasher control panel caught on fire. Model# GU1200XTKS0. Serial# **. I was able to cut power to the house and save my family's lives. We are usually in the bed when the dishwasher runs. Seeing as how I was able to stop the fire before anything was severely damaged, I have the control panel that failed. The steam from the wash cycles is designed to escape in the same location where electrical connections within the control panel are made. The moisture build-up over the years caused an electrical shortage. This would have ended the lives of my family and can for many others.

Our dishwasher has never worked correctly since we have bought it a year and a half ago. We have had 4 service calls on it over the year and half we have owned it. It is a dual drawer KitchenAid made by Whirlpool. It just does not clean the dishes. Our dishes are nothing special and not oversized. But because of the design the top drawer does not close properly on our standard size dinner plates. This in turn creates a leakage problem (first noticed by one of the service techs).

There seems to be a design flaw in the upper rack of this dishwasher, which was purchased new in the summer of 2010. Six inch bowls which are supposed to be placed in the center of the upper rack are unable to remain upright, they tip into and bump into each other. These have the same problem on the lower rack except they will stack correctly in the two slots reserved for larger serving bowls. Also, some of the openings in the rear of the upper rack are large enough for small juice glasses, 2.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches high to tip through and fall onto the lower rack.

I have been in contact with the escalation dept. of Whirlpool Corp. since 7/1/2010 in regards to the Maytag dishwasher recall. I reside in American Samoa, U.S. Territory. Unfortunately for me, Whirlpool does not have a Maytag repairman in this area. Therefore I have agreed with Whirlpool to sign a waiver for the repair of the dishwasher. In return, Whirlpool will send me the repair kit necessary for the repair as well as the waiver. This was five months ago.

I purchased a new Whirlpool Gold Dishwasher Model GU2700XT550 on Dec. 2007. In Dec 2010, the computer board has died, and it will cost $700.00 minimum to repair it. This is the third Whirlpool Gold product I have purchased in the last 4 years that has had the computer board die! These boards are $500 to replace plus labor! A dishwasher is cheaper than having it repaired. Do not purchase Whirlpool appliances if you want them to work more than 3 years.

My name is Joel **, I am Taraneh's fiance', and the one who troubleshoot her dishwasher problem. She has basically warehoused this Whirlpool Dishwasher (model # GU1200XTLS3, serial #FP4602325) since she bought it 'new', having to hand wash, while the washer lived the good life of retirement! I've searched Whirlpool's database of recalls, and have found none describing their re-engineering of the 'chopper' mechanism. When I looked at the online chopper, it's evident the replacement unit has been re-tooled to correct a poorly engineered design. The self-cleaning screen of the chopper is so deeply embedded in the motor unit, that Whirlpool Management expected no one to diagnose the root cause of it's failure.

I work on appliances and I have run across a problem with one of your dishwasher designs. Model du018dw1b1 and other models with the same motor pump. The motor is fine but the shaft is pressed on to a plastic slinger that goes into the pump ass and drives the impeller. The plastic slinger melts and breaks above the fan which causes the motor shaft to spin freely without turning the plastic drive shaft. The only fix is to buy a new motor which is stupid when all you need is a $10 dollar part that is not sold by itself! I have run in to this problem many times and I am afraid I will find many more like this. This is really my only complaint with this design. If possible please find me a way to find this part to ease my customer’s checkbook.

We purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher in 2004. Now we are selling our house in Manhattan, KS. The Whirlpool dishwasher leaks and ruins the wood floors, etc. We have already moved to Colorado. Now, we have to go back to repair all the mess. The things never did run well. It will take us longer to sell our house with this mess.

I owned a whirlpool dishwasher model number: GU2500XTPS6 (stainless stain) that came with the new home back in 2006. Most recently (10/2010), I noticed water sipping through the bottom of the dishwasher. As a mechanical engineer, I took the unit out and inspected the unit thoroughly. I noticed a white residue on the lower pump motor assembly. I removed and disassembled the pump motor and determined the root cause to be a defective motor shaft which lead to water leaking into the back compartment of the motor assembly where there shouldn't be any water (no rubber gasket). I called Whirlpool and the warranty has expired and that they cannot provide the part to me free of charge even though I told them that I could take the part to their service provider for examination. Even if their service provider was to conclude the motor assembly is the root cause, I will still need to pay for the motor assembly.

We have a $450.00 4 year old Whirlpool "Gold" Dishwasher with upper and lower level rusting racks. this is clearly a case of manufacturing defect due to the fact that the exterior surface of the racks have not been compromised or damaged. The rust is growing from the inside and causing the rubber coating to burst, spilling rust particles throughout the dishwasher tub. Whirlpool refuses to do anything about it other than offer to sell me $285.00 (plus tax, shipping and handling) and have me replace the clearly mis-manufactured/defective part.

I purchased a new Whirlpool Dishwasher Model #DU945PWST1 in January of this year. No more than three months later, I noticed a crack in the control panel. It was a very small crack so I keep watching it. Another month went by and the crack was increasingly bigger. I called the company and they replaced the panel.

Whirlpool dishwashers now require a special water connecter that is not supplied with machine and it takes 1 week minimum to have Whirlpool send you one. Nobody in town has special Whirlpool connection and dishwasher is just sitting there waiting for parts to hookup.

The Whirlpool Quiet Partner dishwasher MOD DU1145XTPQ3 that was 4 years old and put in our new construction home caused our kitchen and dining room to fill with electrical smelling smoke. A repair person was sent; he replaced a burnt part and the control panel. A few weeks later, the dishwasher stopped working again and a burnt fuse was replaced that the repair man said should have been replaced in the prior service call. Six weeks after that, the dishwasher just stopped working again and Whirlpool refused to fix it.

My Maytag dishwasher was recalled as it could reportedly catch fire. The rebate the company was giving on certain models were not readily available. They would be considered a special order and have 4/6 week turn around. Maytag allowed me to select a dishwasher from their parent company, Whirlpool.

After one more year or 25 months of usage, the motor has completely corroded and stopped working. The only thing Whirlpool would do for me on the motor was offer it at 25% off. That puts it at the same price you can buy it at a parts store. I'll never buy another Whirlpool product.

We are very upset and unhappy the way we are getting support in a product purchased in February 2006. We had purchased the dishwasher model KUDD01DPPA1 with the serial number FPS4715013 from ABT in Chicago. We took out an extended warranty for the product. During the time of the extended warranty about May 2009, the upper drawer malfunctioned and flooded and therefore the entire dishwasher was not working anymore. We had ABT in several times working on the dishwasher but they never solved the problem.

We purchased a Whirlpool Quiet Partner Dishwasher in June 2010. It leaked and flooded our kitchen. A repairman came out and claimed to fix it. Our kitchen has been remodeled because of the damage. When the dishwasher was hooked up again by a professional plumber and started, it leaked again! Whirlpool wants to send out another repairman but I don't trust this product at all and I certainly don't feel safe running it in my new kitchen. Whirlpool should take responsibility and take back it's defective dishwasher.

I have a two-week old Whirlpool Gold Dishwasher (purchased 9/5/2010 at Lowe’s) and it has already stopped working after two loads. The "clean" button keeps flashing. The owner’s manual said in these scenarios we had to call for service. A repairman will be here Thursday. It cost me over $200 to get this installed by a plumber. I had replaced a working 17-year old solid state Whirlpool dishwasher, which is not retrievable.

The electronic touch pad started getting temperamental a while ago. We found that we couldn't get it to work on the normal cycle so we'd start it on another cycle and then change it. That worked for a while but then it became more temperamental so we had a repair service come out. They did something to it and now it doesn't work at all! They had us re-booting it a number of times, which involved hitting the cancel button twice and then unplugging it and waiting 10 minutes, then starting over. That worked for a week or two and now, although the display lights up with a couple of bars, nothing happens. I have disliked the performance of this dishwasher since we got it. It was highly recommended but has never performed well. The home warranty people don't even want to bother with it any more and are offering some money to replace it, although it's not nearly enough to buy a new, similarly equipped one.

This is about my complaint number 7062 dated 14/08/2010. The problem is with the PCB which is in the warranty. So far, my machine has not been rectified in spite of so many complaints. It is more than 1 month and no proper response from the service center. Please kindly look into the matter and solve my problem.

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher quiet partner. This machine never worked right and was loud. After two years of light use, the motor went off course. There’s no warranty anymore. $300 to fix! In what universe is it ok to sell a product this bad for a large price then not care that it only ran for 24 months?

Complaint regards 2 appliances. Dishwasher 3 years old, each cycle takes over 2 hours. It rims very hot, excessive noise and the board has to be reset after each cycle. Service was performed after initial complaint. 2nd appliance is a wash machine. The 1st machine had to go back because the actuator didn't work, the replacement (current model) sounds like a jet engine, has a terrible water hammer associated with temp control, and the fasteners that secure the entire top to the rest of the machine came off, allowing the top to float and move freely from the whole unit.

I purchased a Whirlpool Dishwasher roughly 4 years ago. At no time did I ever receive a recall notice or anything of that nature. Just noticed the other day that I have a pin size hole in my dishwasher that has been leaking for who knows how long. After researching further, I found that there is a faulty heating element in my dishwasher that is (over time) causing this hole. The hole that I have know matches (exactly) the pictures shown on the internet of the outcome of this faulty heating element. Needless to say, my insurance is not going to cover this leaking in my home and Whirlpool claims that it is not there problem. Wow!

In April we purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher that was stored until our kitchen Reno was completed. The day after we installed the dishwasher, we called Whirlpool because the door was leaking on July 26. Since that time the technician has come on 4 occasions to replace the arm and the pump but the door is still leaking. We are now August 18 and I called Whirlpool to demand a new machine and was told that my extended warranty only covers repairs so they would like to send a new technician over to start the process all over again.

I bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher approximately 5 years ago. Since day one it has never cleaned properly. We have to rinse/wash dishes before we put them in the dishwasher. When we take them out, some dishes/glasses must be rewashed. I called and had a tech come out and he said my dishwasher was working 'fine'. I guess Whirlpool and I have different ideas of what a dishwasher is supposed to do. I will be getting a new dishwasher within the next 6 months as I can't take this anymore. I e-mailed Whirlpool, just to give them some product feedback. I should've written it in chalk on the sidewalk for all the response I got. Basically it was "thanks for writing". I think I'll stick with GE. The GE dishwasher prior to this Whirlpool was approximately 10 years old and worked beautifully. I redid my kitchen, hence I purchased the more expensive Whirlpool. Never again!

KitchenAid dishwasher’s (model number: KUDP01FLBL5, serial number: FR3201949) product design/defect causes predictable opportunity for control circuit board failure leading to fire. There are fire incident reports I have collected in the past year. Smoke and then flames came out of the side of the control panel. Power stayed to the dishwasher but the control panel is fried.

We have been in our house since 2006. We have had problems with our Whirlpool Quite Partner III since it was new (2006). We have had repairs 3 different times for it stopping mid-cycle with a blown thermal fuse. The first repair found a burn spot on the circuit board and that was replaced and the dishwasher worked for 5-6 months. The same thing occurred- stopped mid-cycle with blown thermal fuse. The repair man said he had to order a wiring kit that was the problem (per whirlpool). He replaced it $129.

I purchased a Whirlpool gold dishwasher (GU2700XTSQ1) 2.5 years ago and the motor and pump need replacing. It is criminal that a $650 appliance needs $300 worth of parts/service in such a short time. Never again Whirlpool will you see my pennies.

We bought our dishwasher (model#DU1148XTPB3) on 7/9/2005. A few days ago, we found water damage in our hardwood floors. When we investigated the source of the damage, we found out that the bottom of the plastic tub of our dishwasher had worn out and has a crack in it. I am guessing it is damaged from the heat element. When researching it on the internet, we found that this is a very common problem for Whirlpool dishwashers with a plastic tub. When we called customer service, we were told that warranties were only for a stainless steel tub and the cost of a replacement plastic tub would amount to $267.16. With installation expenses, it will most likely be the same price as a new machine (if not more). We are stuck with a completely working machine that is leaking (and therefore not usable) and damaged hardwood floors. Some floor boards are cracked and there is a black stain from the water damage.

I bought a dishwasher model #DU1055XTSS2 in the summer of 08. After install, first time it ran, leaked all over the floor. It wasn't a bad gasket, they had neglected to put a gasket in at all. That should have been my first clue. Repair man came out, it took 3 times to get the right part and replace it. Then it would run and not run, turn off full of water, not drain. Repair man came back, replaced motor, control panel, and a few other things.

My Whirlpool dishwasher caught fire last night. Upon a little research, I found that Whirlpool recalled a number of dishwashers due to fire hazard. My unit is not on their recall list and I have never been notified by Whirlpool as to the potential for fire. Model number GU1200XTKT0

I was told by your service department that they would fix my dishwasher at all cost and service. When the technician called they tried to charge me again. I called Whirlpool and they said I would have to pay the charge. They indeed lied to me. I paid $466.76 for this dishwasher on 2-08-2008. This dishwasher has leaked since day 1 and I had technician to come out and he fixed the gasket when it was under warranty. This fixed it temporarily and it started leaking again (of course my warranty is out now). Thanks. I called a tech and he charged $138 to tell me it was leaking (duh). Thanks for that! Then he said I needed a new tub which was $777. Are you kidding me?

My eight-year old Whirlpool dishwasher model GU1200XTKB0 the bracket the hold the top spray arm broke and part of the piece that broke went down into the motor and has caused $400 damage. I need a new motor. The bracket that broke cost me $4 to replace. Needless to say, when I replaced the bracket I didn't realize the extent of what happened. The repairman has recommended I not repair but purchase a new one. That now means that every Whirlpool appliance I have owned has broken with severe consequences.

I purchased a dishwasher DU1100XTPQ7 on 8/06 then it started getting louder and louder. I called repairman, said motor was out. I removed the dishwasher, removed the main pump and motor. The motor is an LG 8534941. The front bearing seal was out and let water in the bearing. Poor design. No more LG (or whirlpool) for me.

Our dishwasher racks are rusting. The machine is seven years old. Whirlpool offered me the choice of buying new racks or a repair kit and apply a coating. They wanted to charge me for the kit, but finally sent it free of charge. When the kit came, I would have to scrape the rust off and apply a toxic smelling chemical to the rack. I did not attempt that and feel that this shouldn't happen (rust in any appliance).

I purchased a brand new mobile home in Oct. 2008 with all new appliances. The other night, I had a flood in my kitchen. It took 3 of us to keep up with the water. My brother came over and turned off the water. I had someone come out and fix the problem. They said the hose had a hole in it. Everyone I told about it said the same thing, that the hose should not have gotten a hole in it in only 1-1/2 yrs. I had it repaired. It cost $90 but after reading some of the complaints I am scared that it will happen again and I won't be at home when it does.Why would a hose get a hole in it in such a short time? It sounds like a defect and in that case I should not have been held responsible for the repair.

In the beginning, I was not at all happy with my electrical stove, a very large one I might add. The burners have not held up and the top of the entire stove gets extremely hot, so caution must be used when sitting anything on the stove. But, trusting the name Whirlpool, I purchased a dishwasher four (4) years ago. I was extremely happy with it. It cleaned as it said it would and the inside (such as the plastic) really held up well until the dishwasher quit...just quit. I have had dishwashers last 15 years or more but never four. It may just need some small thing for it to work. I don't care, I don't care about repairing it.

It's the Model DU920PKWBO. It never cleans dishes well. The soap dispenser spring broke and never has worked. Even after replacing it, it broke again. The dish tray spokes constantly break off. I've lost nearly 10 of them already. Dishwasher is about 7 years old. It's ridiculous. I, too, would never buy another Whirlpool dishwasher again.

My Whirlpool dishwasher just went out this morning. It's a Model# DU1055XTSS purchased on 6/30/2008. The dishwasher for the past couple of weeks has been getting noisier, not cleaning few good. I just called Whirlpool customer service. They are willing to pick-up the cost of the part, but not the labor. As an ex-Store Manager, Service manager and ex-senior sale for a local appliance chain. this is no good. Whirlpool is claiming that they have not had very few service problems with this unit.

We had a two and a half years old Whirlpool dishwasher model DU1145XTPQ6. The "clean" light kept flashing and the washer would not restart or recycle. Looking at the troubleshooting section of the owners manual, it states, "The dishwasher has malfunctioned. Call for service to check the heater circuit." We called Whirlpool service and they scheduled a service call for us as the indicated defective parts could still be under warranty. The service tech arrived and after a few moments, told us the machine needs a new motor, an item not covered by the warranty. To have him not do anything would still be a $129.00 charge. This to tell us it isn't what the manual said the problem was.

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher model number DU1055XTSQ2 in the fall of 2007. In the fall of 2009, the dishwasher started to get a little loud and quit working. An appliance repairman looked at the unit and informed me that the motor was burnt out. I felt this could not be possible as this machine was only used at a maximum of twice a week, as there are only two persons living in this household. The cost of repair would be in the vicinity of $450.

I purchased a brand-new Quiet Partner Whirlpool dishwasher in 2009. It never did clean the dishes properly. After 14 months, water started leaking out from under the countertops and dishwasher. The technician came and said it was the clamp to the pump. He replaced the clamp. After two washings, I had another flood. Same problem. One tech told me it was leaking around the motor, second tech replaced the clamp, and third tech wanted to replace the pump and clamp.

For the 4th time in a year, I have had a service call for a Whirlpool dishwasher purchased and manufactured in 2008 (Model DU1055XTSQ3). The first time, the circuit board for the control panels was identified as the culprit. This occurred under warranty in early 2009. I had to back-order the part, then it was deemed not to work.

I have a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher and it has broken down 2 times. The first time I had to pay for a service tech to check it out and it was under warranty for the part, but not labor. I had to pay that. The console keypad quit. It had no power. This dishwasher model has had many people lost and with a broken one not working. The second time it broke down I figured it out. The same problem happened. It was a thermal fuse that supplied power to the machine, yet Whirlpool has not made a recall on this one. For some reasons, they are getting away with making faulty appliances. I called Whirlpool and they told me that they only cover new parts for 30 to 90 days, and that's it. So what do you think?

I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher (one of the ones listed in their recall) about five years ago. After less than two years the tub failed. Whirlpool replaced it free of charge because of the recall. The new dishwasher (Model# GU2455XTSB3) is just a few years old and is now making horrible noises from the pump motor. Investigation reveals multiple consumer complaints of exactly this nature and shows this to be an on-going problem with Whirlpool dishwashers. There appears to be a provision for keeping foreign materials out of the pump, thus causing failure anytime something gets in there (broken glass, etc.). I will never purchase another Whirlpool product.

I had a Maytag dishwasher that wasn't that old and had a recall. After fighting with them, I decided to purchase a Whirlpool. I purchased a cheaper one and ended up taking it back after 2 weeks and exchanged it for a Whirlpool model #DU1055XTSS2. What a mistake. I have had this thing for 18 months and within the last 3 months, it has destroyed all my dishes, bowls and cooking utensils. They are covered in white, the dishes aren't coming clean and we rinse everything. I read their manual and the temperature is fine. I have tried different detergents, I have tried with and without Jet-Dry, I did the vinegar thing and took apart the screen on the bottom.

I bought a Whirlpool Gold Dishwasher (GU2700XTSQ1) and after 14 months the pump has gone out!

I bought a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher and within 5 months of having it, the whole inside has turned a pink/orange color (like plasticware does). I called the store I bought it at and they recommended a cleaner for it. I used it and it did not work. I then called Whirlpool customer service and they recommended another cleaner (vinegar) for it, which also did not work. I told them I wanted to upgrade the dishwasher to a stainless one since I've only had this one 8 months now. I was told no, it was no longer under warranty and I needed to pre-wash all my dishes before putting them into the dishwasher! He told me that I shouldn't be washing anything with tomato sauce on it. I explained that the only thing I would have washed would have been a spoon since the pots and pans I use are not dishwasher safe. I told the manager that I thought that was the reason I bought the dishwasher, so that it could wash my dishes! Apparently, that's not what a dishwasher is for!

We purchased a Whirlpool Quiet Partner II model FEEL79DBK in January of 2007. In March of 2008, we had a grinding noise coming from the motor. The salesperson said the machine had a grinder like a garbage disposal and I had seen advertising saying the same thing. Anyways, why don't they have screens to catch most everything? We contacted Lowe's and they referred us to a repair service that came over. For $165, we had him look at it and clean out the material that got through the screen but he could not get all of it. Whirlpool would not stand behind it since it is past one year but gave us a 15% rebate to buy another one of their products. No Way! Finally, the motor died in July of 2009 and we had to buy another dishwasher.

I am having terrible difficulty contacting Whirlpool, the manufacturer. We are in Malta, EU and are entirely dissatisfied with the repair under warranty of our dishwasher. We want to complain to the actual manufacturer, both about the appliance and about the incompetence of their authorized repair service here. Can you help me find contact details please?

I purchased all new kitchen appliances by Jenn-Air. The dishwasher shed black rubber on the floor and smells of burning rubber during use. They have sent out 3 repairmen. None of them have fixed it yet. One ripped out the extra insulation I had paid extra for. Whirlpool states it does not affect the operation of the dishwasher. They had told me one more repairman, which I allowed, and they would replace it if they could not fix it. However, now they say one more repair. I finally agreed after giving up 3 full days (each time, the repairman called to say the part was broken, or not there, the day the dishwasher was supposed to be repaired). I phoned Whirlpool again. They are sorry this has been an inconvenience but will not replace this dishwasher that no one can fix. They state this is their best repair service. The double convection oven has already had the main board go out. I would not recommend their products, mostly because of their poor customer service.

I have a Whirlpool Gold GU2700XTSQ1 dishwasher, which I purchased because it was highly rated in Consumer Reports. After 20 months of average use, the motor is making a loud whining noise and I have been advised that the motor assembly needs to be replaced. I am appalled at the number of similar complaints posted on this website - there must be something seriously flawed with this make of dishwasher. I would never buy another Whirlpool product as I have also had a problem with my Whirlpool oven and the company has been totally unwilling to assist in solving the problem. If I do the repair myself, the cost will be about $150. If I have a repair person, the cost will be about $350.
