Product review (1 stars): Recurring issues and disappointing Whirlpool service
Most of these reviews are accurate. It is quiet, looks great, and has mediocre cleaning capabilities. However, I have had my unit for just over a year and can tell you what it is like to own one of these dishwashers for more than the first month.

The first time my Kitchenaid Dishwasher had problems, it was a complete shutdown, just a month after owning the unit. The dishwasher stopped in the middle of the dry cycle and was completely unresponsive. The Bi-metal thermal fuse went out. It was replaced and it lasted me 10 months.  Then it went out again. This time, they replaced the control panel, wiring harness, and the same fuse.

The machine didn't make it through the first cycle after the technician left. He came back and replaced the fuse again. It went out again.

I called whirlpool to take further action and they said my warranty was now out. Even though it was the same problem. One of the times they came out and replaced the fuse was a "courtesy warranty service" Thanks Whirlpool! However, the same problem exists and the problem has never been fixed.

So now I'm stuck with this machine and I've opted to buy a handful of fuses and replace them ever so often. It's cheaper than buying a whole new machine. However...

I started researching Kitchenaid/Whirlpool Dishwashers and as it turns out, Whirlpool uses the same set of electronics in most of their dishwashers. This problem exists in many of their dishwashers. In fact Whirlpool has had a string of issues with their control boards. Even to the point that many of the control boards allegedly caused fires. Check out the website kichenaidfire. I'm considering now replacing the unit and staying away from any type of Whirlpool Product.

I highly recommend looking into all whirlpool product reviews if you are considering buying one. More than likely they will have the same electronics and same problems and same poor service.
