Dishmobile, if you’re interested in the Maytag I have access to the Whirlpool Inside Pass discount program. The 4949 is $440 on their site currently, and the 8959 with the big third rack for cups is $630. It’s a “benefit” where I work (because why pay better?). My company is not affiliated with...

It’s really ridiculous how this thread has gotten hijacked into another “efficiency is bad, only 10+ gallons will clean, blah blah blah” circlejerk. It’s extremely disrespectful to the poster who started it to discuss his model.

@d-todd, did you ever get around to running that service cycle to see what is making the noise?

D-todd, I was thinking about your mention of door handles. I haven't had an issue with WP handles getting lose, but in other applications I've applied blue loc-tite to such screws. That may help your situation.

Logixx... ... Wow, that's the same arm that's in my parents. Had no clue it was just a cover. I admit I was wrong on that. That being said, I know the top-most arm on the older models was all stainless if that counts for anything. I stand behind my statement that the non-functional...

This is a digression from the core of this thread. As a Miele owner, I am agreeing with agiflow here. I do lament the lack of stainless arms both for a visual and practical purpose. When you compare plastic vs stainless implementations, there is a practical thing here- the stainless is less...

I used one for a weak in a vacation rental. The tine arrangement on the bottom rack was maddening- nothing fits in the rearmost angled section. It’s got the cheapest feeling door and racks. And it’s deafeningly load to boot. The only positive is it did technically clean, but even then I noticed...

I did watch the video, and two things stand out. 1. Isn’t the Active Flood protect your bog-standard float switch? I don’t see what is different in this versus a typical dishwasher without much loaded overfill sensor. 2. These people’s lack of enthusiasm is screaming “we know this is a...

Aside from the third rack wash tubes, which are stationary, that 750 I mentioned has an identical wash system. When I did the initial hookup and test post purchase, using the service cycle I never heard a sound like you’re describing. I would be very curious to have you run that and see what’s...

A loud click? Wouldn’t that be the detergent door opening? The top sprayer spins, so there is no side to side motion. It shouldn’t make a noise like that.

Regarding the pan holder someone mentioned, I just looked up the model on an appliance site to check that out- wouldn't it be holding the pan at the wrong angle? I would think you'd want a pan to be facing downwards so it gets the full spray pressure since it likely has harder to remove deposits.

@cehalstead - If the racks rust again, you should be able to find nylon-covered equivalents on eBay for less than a new dishwasher since they've used that same rack design for eons. The nylon will last longer. And you're not pre-rinsing your dishes, right? If you do and then use a normal...

Cool to hear your review of the WDT970SAKZ. Haven't heard of anyone else here getting one of them, I debated one a couple years ago when I was in the market. The third rack seems really practical for the small Tupperware and serving ware I often use. Similarly, I've been impressed with the fit...

It may be that your main circulation pump is on its last legs. It would result in a lack of water pressure, which could be an explanation. Or there's a bushing- I think- made of nylon between the arm and the mount that could be bad? But I'm not sure if this is an orderable part. In the parts...

I haven't read many good things about Samsung appliances, they're all show but little substance. This video's portrayal of the "AI Wash" just reinforces it. As someone who works in tech, I found it nearly nauseating. Part of why Whirlpool's this rack design can work so well is their very tall...

Variable Speed Motors @henene4, I've inferred this from the part numbers and the cycle guides they published for some models. I am confident in my assumption. Yes, their current efforts are documentation are shockingly bad- it seems like most models don't have an owners manual at all, some...

Interesting to know of the name of this series, thank you! On another glance it looks like the only change they are making to their wash system is swapping out some of the pumps used in Whirlpool brand models. For instance, the WDTS7024R* (a revised version of the WDT970SAK*) has an 80 Watt...

Wasn’t the global wash wash the previous system used in the main models up until 2020? And it’s now related to the budget models. The wash system, on a glance, looks unchanged.

Found an unreleased model number… Playing around on their service site’s guest search I found an unreleased model WDTS8024SX (X being the color code placeholder). The installation manual listed for it (no cycle guide or parts diagram yet) lists auto-open doors as one of the sub menu options...

Was browsing on ABT's site and they've just added some JennAirs that look like a revision of the current line of Whirlpool DWs. This model is akin to the KitchenAid 200 Series or the Whirlpool 750/A50 series. It looks to be nearly identical to the prior JA version, except- and I think very...
