When I finally started using the dishwasher, I discovered that half the buttons on the front don't work, the soap dispenser doesn't open like it's supposed to, and the bottom rack is the wrong size, and the screws in the door are rusty.

So, I call AHS and they send out a local contractor technician guy. He said he could replace the parts and had to check back with AHS. The fee is $60 for the tech to come out.

Today I talked to AHS and they said they can go ahead and have the tech replace the dishwasher and said they had in mind a GE GSD4000D. That has ok reviews, but nothing special and a few complaints.

So, I'm curious if any of y'all have some ideas and recommendations on dishwashers? Brands? Features? I can get a better one, I would just have to pay the price difference.

Haven't had it long enough to give it any sort of dependability rating- a year or two. Seems well made though- solid, quiet, small touches that distinguish it from basic models. She did break a wheel on the top rack, which was fixed easily enough. The replacement part was slightly redesigned so I guess they figured it out.

I considered the MX 13YROLDSON model, but the total cost of ownership seemed high.

After much consideration...

Samsung 25.6 cu ft French Door Refrigerator

Frigidaire 30-in Smooth Surface Freestanding Convection Electric Range

Samsung - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Convection Microwave

Maytag 24-in Built-In Dishwasher...make sure you get a stainless steel tub!

We REALLY wanted a Bosch...it was the quietest...by a mile...large capacity...HOWEVER...they dry with steam! If you're in a hurry to put dishes away after it runs...you're drying them by hand!

We found the best deal at Lowes and we shopped all of the big box stores.

Good luck with the hunt!

Yeah, they focus on noise level and are ideal for apartments and such. But they keep the noise down by cutting out features like heating coils and built in disposals. I'll gladly deal with the extra 10dB.

Went without a dishwasher for serveral years, and finally decided to throw in a cheapie. Bought a sub $200 Amana from Home Depot a few years back. It's run everyday and not even a hicup. My daughter's $500 GE died after only 18 months.

We have a Frigidaire (professional series...if that means anything). We went Frigidaire Pro Series on all appliances (range, fridge, dishwasher, microwave) during our kitchen remod a few about 5 years back. I guess I like it except that the rinsing, spinning thing on the top started falling off a year or two ago after pretty much every washing. I just keep putting it on after each wash. PITA, but can't really afford to replace the whole thing, and I haven't tracked down a replacement part. ](*,)

edit: oh, and the dials on the range are a little finicky, slightly F'd up as it looks as if the panel behind the console has come out of place (slid down a bit) so when you set the dial on a setting (i.e. 2.4) it might heat up like it's on something much hotter. That kinda sucks...unless you like your bacon extra extra crispy. 🤦

Well, there's always music playing at the Compound so a lil bump in the sound system isn't totally out of the question! The fact that I might have to have a sanitize feature because of the homebrewing...I can't fake that one!

I said "great! now the dishwasher will match the refrigerator."

I'll have t go to Sears or Lowes and take a look.

Notes: No Maytag. Stainless Steel tub. No Miele ($$$).

Maybe Bosch or Samsung or Kenmore.

And z6joker9..... I keep waiting and watching for one of those cats to miss!! 😉
