Rated 5 out of 5 by None from Great buy I bought it one month ago and so far works very good.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cbeech from Died in about 3 years I bought this a little over three years ago and it is now dead. Clicking their service link doesn't work.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DJNM from Not Happy Silverware does not get clean and often there is soap left all over dishes and silverware near the dispenser. Tired of rewashing silverware and several dishes.

Rated 2 out of 5 by SlSl from I bought at Lowes in 2021 and it doesnt heat anymore. 3 years and its already stopped working. Replaced the heating element and still doesn't heat. As with other reviews I'm guessing a new one with a different brand is in order.

Rated 1 out of 5 by KS_216 from Corroded and snapped heating element Worked great until: Loved this dishwasher. I noticed it stopped drying dishes a few days ago. I figured not a big deal, I'll just let them air dry. BUT, then I noticed the heating element is actually corroded in one spot and snapped. Apparently this is a common issue. I can not fix this myself, and it is not safe to run with a snapped heating element- fire hazard as well as potential for leaking which leads to mold which my family is extremely sensitive to. Increasing the frustration, I have run loads for several days before noticing the heating element is cracked in half which means it has most likely been leaking and will lead to mold. No info on the warranty, actually I can not even find it, and I can not afford to pay to have it fixed. Frustrating. It is not that old. What happened to whirlpool?? Used to be one of the better brands!

Rated 1 out of 5 by deitzb from Doesn't last I bought it 3 years ago at Lowe's and it already doesn't work, the water won't get hot inside it. Going with another brand that lasts longer
