Product review (1 stars): Major quality control issues with this dishwasher.
We bought this dishwasher from Home Depot rather than Amazon, but wanted to give everyone our experience nonetheless. There appears to be quality issues with this model. The first one delivered had a defective door hinge that we detected just prior to installation. The helpful delivery people came back to pick it up and drop off a replacement machine. Shortly after they left we discovered the second machine had some broken stems which connect the plastic tub to the frame. We called and a few days later a third machine was delivered. At this point everyone including the delivery people decided to really give this third machine a close inspection. Sure enough, yet another defect was found. Some of the insulation on the junction box wires connected to the power cord was damaged, exposing bare copper wire. Left undetected, such a defect might have caused a  dangerous short circuit.

The problem could easily have been fixed by us with some heat shrink tubing. However the delivery people agreed that three defective machines in a row was indicative of a serious lack of quality control. The question raised in everyone's mind was what else could be wrong that cannot seen? What else could be broken but not revealed until after installation? Will this thing fail in a few weeks or soon after the end of warranty?  Reluctantly we decided to return this third machine and go for another model from a different manufacturer. We just ordered a Whirlpool WDF760SADB from Home Depot to be delivered next week. Hopefully it will be better quality.

In retrospect, we learned that the appliance division of GE was sold to AB Electrolux of Sweden for $3.3B in September 2014. In July 2015 the Justice Department sued in Federal Court to block the merger on grounds that the deal would hurt consumers. Morale at the GE appliance division must be terrible right now and the lawsuit just adds more uncertainty to their fate. The takeover, whether is happens or not, has most likely had a detrimental effect on quality control at the beleaguered appliance division. This consumer was adversely affected.

P.S. - We installed the Whirlpool on August 5 and it's running great. Also designed and made in the USA.
