Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Is it mold or is it dirt inside the dishwasher
There is not a self clean option. I opened the dishwasher and all the doors and corners have moisture dirt or fungus growing. I was thinking I should clean the filters but the online manual does not have any disammbled instructions under the FILTRATION SYSTEM. So it's useless to me

Terrible
Nothing but problems. This is fairly new. We have cleaned it several times. We even clean dishes before putting them in the washer. The racks rust easily within the first year and ruin dishes. It does not wash well. It builds up with gross stuff in some areas consistently. It doesn't rinse well. You can hear moisture trapped somewhere when you open and close the dishwasher.

Lasted less than 3 years
Bought in 8/22, it's now 5/25 so less than 3 years and it is no longer working. It's almost as much to repair it as it is to buy a new one.

Won't last long
I bought this dishwasher August 2022. It lasted until December 2024. It should have lasted a lot longer than this. Also, it does not get a lot of use due to the fact that is only used half the year during the summer months.

Didn't even last 3 years
Didn't even make it 3 years. Started making funny sounds, then just stopped altogether. Stainless was prone to water and rust spots. Plastic interior = loud and traps germs and grime. Never again.

Poor QUALITY
WhirlpoolBrand Bad quality Purchased the dishwasher used it maybe 20 times and it started leaking from bottom of door. Whirlpool wouldn’t do anything to try and assist me. Called an appliance guy and he said poor quality of workmanship on the dishwasher. I’d like my money back or a new dishwasher PLEASE
