Well, perhaps I can help. I have a used dishwasher which I'd love to
get rid of. It's a top-of-the-line Kitchen Aid and was bought about 5
years ago to replace a 20 year old Kitchen Aid that worked fine.
Really dumb mistake. Kitchen Aid was bought by someone - Whirlpool? -
and the service REALLY STINKS. It started overheating; i.e., the
water was way too hot. Probably just a thermostat. I called the
outfit I bought it from (a total of FOUR times) and they never showed
up. Then I called Kitchen Aid - they refused to help and suggested I
called a different service place. I called them, they did show up,
looked at it, said they'd get back to me and never did. Eventually, I
gave up and bought a Bosch which is quiet, and has run perfectly for
over a year. I still have the old KA, paid around $1100 for it, now
can't sell it for $100 and will probably take it to the dump.
So, the long and the short of it is don't buy Kitchen Aid. It
certainly used to be the best, but I don't think it is anymore.

Thats a shame. Our last TWO KA d/w are still running flawlessly.
