Product review (1 stars): Buyer Beware
Before buying your next KitchenAid be sure to do your research.  We bought our KitchenAid dishwasher three years ago and have had difficulty with a fuse blowing out on the control panel (the electronics inside the dishwasher). Once again, on one of those busy nights, when the dishes have stacked up all day and needed to be run in the dishwasher - the dishwasher doesn't work AGAIN!!!!  Another fuse blown on the dishwasher control panel!!  I called KitchenAid (they tried to sell me a service plan for $285.14 - no thank you). Then I called local service people and searched the internet.  And what did I find out - KitchenAid has problematic design issues.  In response to this, KitchenAid has added a separate 2 - 5 warranty for the control panels and wire racks that have been failing in their dishwashers.  Which is nice, but the owner is still responsible to pay for the service call and labor, which will be about $100 for us.  In addition, our two year old KitchenAid refrigerator is not to the level of quality we thought the KitchenAid brand used to be.  We also have an old (before the Whirlpool buyout of KitchenAid) range that is still performing top notch.  In short,the KitchenAid brand no longer stands for reliability and dependability like it used to. Do your research before buying something that is just not worth the money.
