bought my whirlpool dishwasher 2 years ago and the motor has died-warrantee is only 1 year--the cost of a new motor is 450.00 and whirlpool reps say "they are sorry for the incovenience!!!!" If I could rate it a zero I would--off to buy a new dishwasher--any brand but whirlpool
Everything is cheaper than the comparable model I replaced. The motor is smaller. The springs are thinner. Biggest frustration was not being able to hook up water. If you have a standard 3/8 copper line, you won't get the job done. I opened the manual and found that an adapter must be purchased. So the dishwasher is sitting useless while I wait for the part to come, and I paid for expedited shipping. Why not include the six dollar part?? Why must the customer find out after he has opened the manual and has parts all over the floor? I like to buy American when I can, but made in China is still imprinted on at least some of the parts, and my experience hasn't been noteworthy.
I loved this dishwasher initially as it cleaned well and held my larger items well. Now less than two years later I am forced to replace it. First the filter clogged up (repair man says too fine a mesh) then the pump died. Lots of money for less than two years. No more Whirlpool for me. I am trying a Kitchen Aide and if that fails will get a used one without the large box that holds larger items, as repair man says this means smaller motor and they fail sooner.
Our appliance repairman warned us that dishwashers don't last beyond ten years these days so from now on we're buying inexpensive models. This one is very satisfactory. Plus the stainless and black exterior is snazzy.

Loved it until it died after just 3 years; repairman quoted almost $300 to repair; he said it would be cheaper to replace it. Do not recommend.
