I had a Whirlpool dishwasher about $750 with electronic panel. Circuit board malfunction = $225 repair covered by warranty. Circuit board malfunctions again after one year on replacement. I pay $225 this time. Circuit board starts to go dizzy again 10 months later. I buy a Maytag, put the Whirlpool out for trash pickup. The Whirlpool Gold reefer, however, has no electronic panel (salesman said get the manual knobs because they never have a problem with them) and has not had one problem in over ten years.

I guess electronics parts reliability is chancy, at least for Whirlpool.

I can't believe this dishwasher. We finally buy a house and redo the kitchen with brand new appliances. The first time ever for me. We pick out Whirlpool Gold series dishwasher and microwave. The microwave is stainless and apparantly painted silver/grey on the handle. It's chipped almost from day 1. It was such a pain in the ass heavy to install over my stove, that I figured it was working I'll deal the the paint chipping.

My first dishwasher and I was so excited for the first 1.5 yrs. Now the motor is no longer whisper quiet and I fear its untimely death any moment now. I thought Whirlpool was rated a bit higher than some no name brand appliances. Do not waste your hard earned money on the dishwasher or the microwave!

Thankfully my fridge/freezer is not a whirlpool brand and neither is my stove! My hubby wanted to go with all the same brand! Happy to have won that battle. I will never give a second glance to whirlpool!

I have nothing but praise for Whirlpool...I have the dishwasher, refer, and stove...all work beautifully....much better than the GE Profile they replaced after 5-6 years...

The dishwasher specifically is efficent, quiet and the Seri-cycle is awesome! Cleans perfectly and is fast too.

The refrigerator I got the model # GS 6 ***** is probably the finest I have ever had the pleasure to own.


I've had no use for service so I can't comment. I will say that customer service when I asked a few questions about instalation were great!...

And I do know that JD Powers and several other surveys rate Whirlpool/Kitchen Aid as the least repaired in the business...I did extensive online research before buying.

We upgraded our new home purchase with the Whirlpool gold series 3yesrs ago and have had nothing but problems! The microwave quite working while itwas under warranty and had to be replaced by the builder. The ice maker has quite working on the refrigerator . Worst of all, has been the dishwasher. It quite working properly when of was 1 1/2 years old. I have had the repairman out 3 times. They have replaced the motherboard, the heating element (all out of warranty) and it is still not cleaning. Im sick of it and I am pulling it out this week to be replaced by another dishwasher. I do not know what brand yet, but I can assure you it will not be whirlpool.

I have all matching Whirlpool Gold appliances in my kitchen (range, over-range microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator) and they have been great. My range is a glass top electric with a convection oven, my microwave is their top of the line with the speed cook option, my dishwasher has the "power scour" option, and my fridge is a french-door style. Really, my favorite appliance is the dishwasher, the power scour option is great for skillets and pans. The range works really well and is easy to clean and the microwave is a microwave and gets the job done. Everything looks and works great.

I agree I paid over $600.00 for this Whirlpol Gold series dishwasher when I was single. It runs forever and doesent even clean te dishes. My new wife made me pull it out after se got so upset with it because she was washing the dishes by hand. This is a piece of junk! I will neer buy another Whirlpool product again. Buyer beware!

hmmm, funny that I've owned Whirlpool for the 22 years of my marriage, in 4 houses with all of the appliances and have had none of the problems that I'm reading about. We did have to replace a computer part in the front loading clothes washer after 2 years of use for 6 people, but didn't think that it was unreasonable. I'm sure with advanced machines and more computerized parts, customers may experience more problems, but we've been happy with both price and service.

Wow, I'm sorry so many have had a problem with the Whirlpool Gold dishwasher. I'm single, and stack the dishes in there for a few days at a time, and the food can be pretty dried on by the time I turn it on for a cycle, and rarely does anything come out that isn't nice and clean. Now I haven't tried all cycles, but it is quiet, and while I know the cycles can be somewhat long, they aren't long enough to be bothersome. It works, and in 4 years, I haven't had any service calls on it. I guess I am one of the lucky ones.

Do NOT buy Whirlpool Gold Refrigerators. We did less then 4 years ago and the control board blew up. When we did a research we found that this was a common problem with the model we had. When we contacted Whirlpool we were told to bad it is not covered under the warranty, even though it is the same exact problem on the board as many others. They do NOT stand behind their products.

If I could give this dishwasher a 0 rating, I would, because that is what it deserves. My glasses are never clean, always spotty and particles stuck to them even with rinse aids. My dishes and plates are never clean without pre-washing! What is the point of this dishwasher if I must wash before and sometimes after. I too picked this dishwasher for a new home being built thinking it would be a quality product. Boy was I wrong. I have the entire Gold series in my kitchen and am pleased with the others. But I would like to take a sledgehammer to the dishwasher. Save your money...DO NOT BUY!

WHIRLPOOL NOW, "WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK"

We replaced our 12 year old Whirlpool dishwasher with a new Whirlpool to match our other kitchen appliances just 1 1/2 years ago...

big mistake

This new dishwasher is very noisy, does not clean the dishes, does not dry the dishes and is just a piece of junk, we have had warranty repair at least 4 times and we are just tired of the hassle with Whirlpool about service.. and now this morning we have a machine full of dirty dishes as it has decided to quit all together. We will be replacing this machine today and not with a Whirlpool product...

"DO NOT BUY A WHIRLPOOL DISHWASHER THEY ARE NOTHING BUT JUNK"

Complete Junk thats what Whirlpool Dishwashers are.The Dishwasher was in the house for only a month and had to have the Soap Dispenser replaced, and then the water valve went on it . And after that the Main circuit board had to be replaced, all within a 2 month period, lucky it was all covered under Warranty,. Now its a year and a half since the warranty ended and it died half way through a load.not only that but the control pannal is falling off, when i took it apart to investigate why! I was shocked to discover that the screws that hold it together are screwed into thin cheap self tapping plastic posts that were all breaking or cracking. We paid over $1000 for this substandard piece of Junk. It will be a happy day for me when i hear that Whirlpool went out of buissness.

does not dry good,cleaning is marginal at best

Poor. From the design to the performance, this dishwasher is the worst. After the first year or so, we had the motor replaced - thank goodness it was covered under warranty. We had a repairman in to fix it this past Tuesday and tonight there's another issue - the dishwasher is leaking from the motor and water has flowed underneath our hardwood floors causing gradual buckling. We're now in the market for a new dishwasher and Whirlpool will not be an option.

It seems that this model it VERY prone to hardwater and refuses to clean ANYTHING! Although I have solved my problem (for now) I will never buy another Whirlpool DW. I could have bought 2 Frigidaire ones that have ALWAYS cleaned great for the price of this one. My Whirlpool dishwasher is only 2 years old and I started having the same problems. I dismantled everything I could and washed and scrubbed the entire unit with EVERYTHING..to no avail, dirty dishes!! But I discovered a remedy! Try using Lemi-Shine for about a week with your regular wash-soap. If you are using the tablet form of soap, stop and try the powdered form. Follow the instructions on the Lemi-Shine container. You can find it just about anywhere for around $3.50. I was within "5 seconds" of replacing my 2 year old Whirlpool dishwasher when this caught my eye and I figured why not try it too? After the first wash I noticed a big difference the cleanliness of the dishes..and now it is running GREAT after 2 weeks!

Very poor performer over all, and Whirlpool was no help at all. After 3 years, I'm in the market for a new dishwasher and it won't be Whirlpool!

This has to be one of the worst dishwashers I have ever owned. I have had several dishwashers over the years, some expensive, some cheap - but even the cheapest cleaned dishes better than our Whirlpool Gold. Our dishwasher is a "Quiet Partner IV" series. Though the washer is surrounded with thicker than normal padding, by the dish washing results, I think it's safe to say the water pressure (or lack thereof) is also used to create a "quiet" wash. Almost without fail, a handful of dishes will need to be hand washed to remove small particle residue left on the dish. The silverware basket latches NEVER remains shut. The dishes are almost NEVER dry. I would highly recommend avoiding this dishwasher. Be sure to check other dishwashers manufactured by Whirlpool, sold under different brand names. There's only a few manufactures making the variety of dishwashers available...

We chose this dishwasher when we built our home and thought we were getting a quality appliance, but in less than 3 years, it is falling apart. On top of that it has mold growing in it. A cycle that says it will be done in 96 minutes, takes over 2 hours. This has been the worst dishwasher I have ever had. I will be NOT be buying another Whirlpool.

Just bought this aishwasher a year ago and hate it. My wife like the three spay nozzels in the interior... but I hate the Anyware silverware rack. Almost 3-4 out of 5 times that I unload this unit the silverware is all over the floor as it will not latch properly. It is very fristrating to load as they have made the racks different than any dishwasher I have ever had... There is one positive... I hate using this unit so much I tell my daughter and wife, you do it or it don't get done... It does clean great once you have it loaded...

I have had my stainless steel Whirlpool gold dishwasher for about 3 years. I have given up dealing with whirlpool. They say there is nothing wrong with it. The only problem is that it does not wash dishes. I am now going to remove it and take it to the dump. Never to buy another whirlpool product again. It is also very obvious that I will let everyone I know about whirlpool's poor product and extremly poor customer service. It probably would have been a better idea for them to replace it.

Nothing but trouble since purchased in Nov.01, Whirlpool won't refund or replace. Just throws parts at it.Will not let you speak to a supervisor or management. Won't return phone calls. I will never buy another Whirlpool appliance and recommend you don't either!!
