Comment:
The switch on the door closed/open gave us trouble from day 1. Seals on the door leaked allowing water run on floor which caused significant collteral damage. Loud.<br /><br />We are throwing this away after 2 years of use. We should have thrown in the trash 1 year ago.

Comment:
I have four children and I cook almost all of our meals at home so I use the dishwasher daily, often more than once per day. I replaced a GE dishwasher that I loved and had for 10 years but it quit cleaning on the top rack. I let the retail store talk me into this. I was disappointed right away. It has never cleaned well. There are two wings at the bottom of the door that continually tear and I have had them replaced twice and could have had it done monthly. Worst appliance I have ever purchased. I will never buy frididaire again.

Comment:
Had the service guy come out because the top pannel was *falling off* and come to find out 70% of the option button's weren't even working! It's pretty to look at but doesn't clean the dishes well. You know it's bad when you miss you hideous 12year old white dishwasher.
