That's curious...

Two weekends ago, I was in two The Home Depot stores. No line outside one, and at the other, the queue was for returns only; anyone coming in to shop could walk right in.
 
Well, it's a Whirlpool by any other name.. I bought a (used) Kenmore Ultra Wash off a friend, it's in decent shape aside from a bit of rack rot and a flickering heat dry light (I'm assuming it's just the light). It has a date of 2010 printed on the tub, and looks to be one step below Kenmore Elite. Smart wash soil sensor and it has Turbo Zone jets. Running it's first light load and seems to be going just fine. Will post pictures later. Going to put the $ saved toward some other household repairs that are overdue.

That flickering light might be a control panel membrane failing, the LED itself usually does not fail that way, you should check the cost and availability of a new control panel before you go to too much trouble moving and installing this otherwise great DW.

 

Not Wearing A mask in public, I am disappointed that you think so little of your Mother and others as to not take this simple safety precaution in public, This pandemic is just getting started, I truly hope your Mother and you survive it.

The flickering heat dry light seemed to just be the light itself.. It flicked on and off throughout the cycle but the dry cycle worked just fine. All the dishes came clean, shiny and dry. I even used the Turbo zone feature on a burned on baking sheet and everything came out clean. So far, seems to be an excellent dishwasher.

Re Covid19- My mom for sure already had it, long before it was confirmed in our state. Several other people at her church also had it. Had all the symptoms and a nasty cough that lasted a month. I got a touch of it shortly thereafter but not as severe, same symptoms, same cough. We did our part to slow the spread and we are getting back to our lives. I spent a month wearing gloves and masks and sanitizing my hands until they hurt, no more. I'm not going to kill myself with depression over a virus with a 99+ percent survival rate, which I have most likely already had. I was also exposed to the virus back in early April through work, and never had any signs/symptoms. We don't know how many days we have left on this earth so we are choosing to return to life rather than live in fear. Your mileage may vary.
