Damn dishwasher....

[clifish]

When I was looking at John Deeres at LandPro in Macedon NY. I saw they had Ariens blowers there. You could see right away the build was much better with their pro series units. The Platinum series were impressive as well.

And those pro series was/are made in the USA as well.

So don't I!!!

Samsung needs to stick with TV's.

This is my dishwasher.

We have a Kenmore that works great, but there are only two of us so we wash things by hand, and use the built in unit to store platers and oddball stuff that we hardly use.

I hope my dishwasher lasts longer than me. Because I couldn't live without her, she's my best friend.

I believe they are made in Wisconsin for the most part.

My current dishwasher is threatening to go on strike!

My only other comment and I kick myself when I dont follow it myself, but it is always truth.

Buy once cry once.

Nothing burns me up more than buying something only to have it s**t on me before its life should be over.

Our repair guys always said whirlpool for dishwashers, i had good luck on a fridgadair once and bad luck on a GE,bought a maytag 2 years ago going good so far, Just bought a samsung all in one washer/dryer, also bought a 5 year warranty on it.

My GE dishwasher went out before it hit the 5 year mark. I replaced it with a Whirlpool and even installed it myself with the help of phone support with my Uncle who was a former Whirlpool certified tech. No issues.

Sorry to hear Steve I got the LG with 3rd rack this time and been very happy with it so far but not quite a year old now. Love having that 3rd rack.

My three year old John Deere is built very well. But I bet this same model 20 years ago weighed a couple hundred pounds more with beefier metal.

I have a Kubota 17hp going on 18 years now. I still want to smack the engineers that designed it when I have to work on it though. That's not often, but it's clear to me the people who design them, never have to actually put a wrench to them!

My wife is the dishwasher too, because I usually do the cooking, but she/we still use the dishwasher. I burn through some dishes and utensils when I'm cooking (and I'm a chef knife, not a gadget guy), but try to hand wash the things that make sense along the way.

Your post is a good reminder to not take our "dishwashers" for granted. Think I'll go give my wife a kiss now...

I love my green equipment but... my utility tractor used for moving snow, tilling and everything else is 4 years old. September of 2024 received a recall letter on one of the brake linkages. Said it's possible for the linkage to break and until they replace it (for free) I should not use my tractor. What? Over the next 14 months the part needed was not available, I kept using my tractor of course with the thought in mind of the linkage and being extra aware. October 2025 local dealer calls have the part want to come to my place and repair, great! October being harvest season they cancelled two appointments and then ghosted my emails and text messages. Contacted green company customer service they said nothing they could do but would document the phone call. They wouldn't let me install the part myself because it was safety related. Contacted the Consumer Safety Product Commission and explained my situation, four days later they contacted me and repaired my tractor. O and it was a 45 min repair....

I can only comment on getting a Bosch….. we had many as we have moved many times and we have even switched out for a Bosch on move in…..dropped shipped to your garage…can get white, black, or stainless…..

Our Bosch dishwasher stopped working. an E24 error. I cleaned the filter and looked for things clogging it, but no such luck. We've been too lazy to replace it, since we seldom use it anyway and I do 95% of the dishes.

Our GE refrigerator of 20 years went out in February. Before it quit completely the water dispenser kept freezing up and wouldn't dispense water. Bought a Whirlpool to replace it. Been happy so far.

 

[chopsaw]

Bought a Frigidaire to replace it.

What model is it ?
I need to replace one that went out in the basement . Thinking I should get a new one for the kitchen and take the Samsung downstairs .

 

[uncle eddie]

Bummer about the dishwasher!

I am commenting on the ice maker...
We had an old fridge and the ice-maker would quit periodically. My solution was to unplug the fridge and plug it back in - reboot the system - and that worked for years. Thought I should mention this....

 

[zwiller]

Appliance buddy says Maytag, GE, etc. are all pretty much the same.

True. Whirlpool plant is 30m from me and BIL retired from there. Whirlpool makes their own as well as Maytag, Fridgidaire, Kenmore, and a few others.

About a month ago ours threw a code and found some good videos on YT. Come to find out there is sensor that gets fouled up and needs attention now and then.

I misspoke. We are away from the house so I didn't confirm the brand and of course my memory isn't always the best.

I checked Amazon since I knew I recently bought filter replacements for the water dispenser. It looks like they are for a Whirlpool refrigerator. We bought it at a local appliance dealer. I think the model number is WRSF5536RZ00.

 

[sandyut]

Its lame how new appliances are so unreliable. I had a pair of Kenmore w/d for at least 25 years. Had to fix the dryer 2x. parts were less than $5 and took me about 5 minutes to swap. Without paying a lot, I just dont think you can get that kinda longevity anymore.

 

[chopsaw]

We bought it at a local appliance dealer.

That's the only way in my opinion . I replaced my range a couple years ago . After doing my own research I went to Home depot for an in person look . Had a question , and the first thing the guy wants to do is jump on the internet . I ended up at an appliance dealer . Way different experience . Ask a question , and you get an answer . No " hang on a minute "
I also have a standard intro , bullshit me and I'm leaving . Works way better than it sounds .
Anyway , the Range I bought is a Whirlpool . Has some nice options and settings .
So I was thinking Whirlpool . No matter what it is or brand , someone somewhere doesn't like it or thinks it's junk . All you can do is make the best choice you can .
Thanks for the follow up .

I used to be an appliance technician. And was pretty hip on the pros and cons. But that was 23 years ago. I'm still savy on fixing them. But not on the quality side anymore.

When I bought my house a little over 10 years ago, I bought all new kitchen appliances. All Samsung. They all still work, for the most part. The fridge doesn't have an ice maker, but the bottom drawer is supporting the two drawers above it. The bottom drawer can't be opened. The stove still works, when the knobs stay on. And the dishwasher needs a towel under the door when running since the door leaks.

However, my 30 something year old Kenmore washer and drier are still going strong. They don't make appliances like they used to.
