Rated 1 out of 5 by CWest from broken Received the new dishwasher from Lowes, Hooked it up and controls lit up but does not run, had water. Took out rechecked everything, reinstalled. still will not run. The day before Thanksgiving, So we had Thanksgiving with no dishwasher. Was next week before warranty repairman could get by to look at the dishwasher. He determined that the motor was bad. The repairman could not find a part for the dishwasher, So after 2 weeks from when we ordered it we still are without a dishwasher. Ive jerked it out of the cabinet and currently dealing with Lowes about getting an exchange somehow. Several calls to the store finally have a manager trying to help us.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BernadetteG from Worst Dishwasher Ive ever used Bought this Dishwasher in June 2018, Controll panel broke in August 2019 had to Bought dishwasher in 2018 had to call Whirlpool and pay $69 to have a repair tech come and replace the control panel in August of 2019, in July 2020 the controll panel broke again, I have to pay another $69 to replace the controll panel that was replaced in 2019. If the controll panel broke a month later I would also have to pay for a new controll panel which will cost another $200 plus the $69 repair service fee. DO NOT BUY this dishwasher. Other problems with the dishwasher include rust and soap scum even after using dishwasher cleaner which was suggested by whirlpool technition

Rated 4 out of 5 by JeffH747 from Very quiet and efficient Am very pleased with the quality of this dishwasher, it is very quiet and is very easy to operate. There are multiple configurations that you can set up to best address your needs, I particularly like the 'sensor' feature which adjusts the cleaning process to meet your current needs. the only feature that I do not particularly like is the limitations on the silverware. the silverware basket - which is ingeniously on the outside of the main basket and not in the way of your dishes - the slots are too small for regular silverware! I can only use half of the available slots. I will have to modify the holes on the other row.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyBee from 3rd rack is AWESOME!!! We LOVE our new Dishwasher! It is very quiet! The controls at the top, out of the way, are a HUGE plus! The dishes are sparkling clean! The third rack is wonderful!!! It holds all sorts of kitchen objects such as knifes, spatulas and cooking thermometers. My husband had a double lung transplant...we really needed a dishwasher that would sanitize too! ...This dishwasher is the whole package!!! The only questionable item...even with the extended dry and using a drying agent...the inside of the dishwasher at the end of the dry cycle is wet. I worry about mold...that would be devastating to my husband's health.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JCL2001 from Ultra disappointed with Whirlpool - 1. Dishes do not get clean. The only way to get them clean is to rinse the before. 2. Old dishwasher got dishes clean on Normal cycle (1:18) or quick wash (0:38). New one takes over three hours and it does not get dishes clean nor dry. 3. Plastic parts are breaking. This dishwasher is 6 months old yet it is falling apart. Poor engineering (looks like it was designed by junior engineers with no practical experience), poor maintainability (just ask the service tech), poor matierials selection (esp. the plastics). As an engineer, if my engineering was to this quality, I would be fired.

Rated 1 out of 5 by mark7 from Terrible My wife and I bought this dishwasher just over 2 years ago and have tried to convince ourselves that we were just having to get used to the “more efficient” way newer dishwashers work etc. Truth is we hate this thing and just couldn’t admit it after paying so much. It takes FOREVER to wash - often does not clean the dishes thoroughly despite the 2+ hours in the heaviest cycle and no matter what rinse aid you use the dishes are minimally dry. We are in the process of selecting a new dishwasher now even though “technically” this one is functional. One thing we are doing though is not even considering a whirlpool. We love our new whirlpool range but will be avoiding the dishwashers at all cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlesi from Love the quiet operation. My old dishwasher (not a Whirlpool) was starting to wear out. It was noisy, tines were rusting, and after every wash I had to check pans and dishes to see if they needed more hand work to get them clean. I hated to start shopping for a new one because I figured that I still would have noise and the post wash cleaning of some items. I liked the Whirlpool design best because of space inside for large pans. After my first wash, I was so pleased at how pots and pans came out absolutely clean (no post washer scrub needed) It was great ! I also love the quietness of the washing process, and the stainless steel inside - no worry about stains.

Rated 4 out of 5 by etyg from Great dishwasher with one very annoying issue This dishwasher is quiet, leaves dishes spotless and is very stylish. A minor flaw is that it's easy to accidentally hit the start button when you're simply closing the door. A much more annoying issue is the placement of the wine glass holder. Standard wine glasses simply don't fit. The first pic shows the problem. The holder doesn't lower in place. The second pic shows a workaround...repositioning the wine glass so that the holder can be lowered. The problem with this workaround is that it leaves a big waste of space behind the glass. The third pic is why the problem exists. Why isn't the wine glass holder positioned at the very top of the rack where it obviously belongs? I know this is a lot to complain about over wine glass holders but I just don't get how no one at Whirlpool saw that this is a bad design that should never have made it into production.

Rated 4 out of 5 by tlcjudge from Dishwasher This is my second dishwasher exactly like this...had to replace the first one as it had rust in bottom of tub after first two wash uses. It was immediately replaced by the store I bought it from without question and professionally installed by their installers. This second machine has worked well so far, no rust issues, except for a few glasses that did not clean out in their bottoms. The small top rack for flat lids, etc is nice and has washed well for most items placed there. It is the most quiet of all the dishwasher machines I have ever owned, so appreciate that very much. Overall, it is a good machine and I like it very much.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nanniegoat from Terrible flatware holders When I looked at it at the store . I thought wow It’ll hold a lot of flatware. Well half is unusable as intended. Because the slots are too narrow. I’ve even looked at replacing my flatware but can’t find anything narrow enough. Also I called one of your 800 numbers and asked that someone call me back about this issue and no one has. So I’m also very disappointed about your customer service and also the lack of instructional information in the booklet.
