It's a long story of how we got stuck with this dishwasher.  We were without a dishwasher for six months. This dishwasher does NOT heat the washing cycle water, only the rinse water.  In my opinion, that is not right, the washing water should always be heated by the dishwasher coils on th bottom to ensure clean dishes.  The instructions say to turn up your water heater to 120 degrees, and our water heater is set at 100 degrees, as we don't want our water to be that hot.  The front door is difficult to open and close, not made to be efficient, and the machine is very loud.  We are very disappointed in the dishwasher!!!
