Gold(R) Series Dishwasher with Top Rack Wash option

We bought this 4 years ago when we built our new home. It worked great at drying, a decent job of cleaning, and was quiet. After 2 years, we noticed a black film developing on the inside of the stainless steel tub. The plumber said it was the dishwasher, and sears dishwasher repairman said it was the water. It ended up being the hose that was used to connect to water- a black hose that apparently deposits black dust. The second issue is the detergent tab started releasing at the wrong time, leaving the tab halfway absorbed at the bottom of the washer once cycle was “completed.” We tried draining the tub, using different cycles, using liquid detergent instead of tabs. It ultimately didn’t matter what we tried. After a year of intermittently not effectively washing dishes, there is always detergent left at the bottom. It leaves the dishes unwashed, all soaking wet, and a dirty smell inside. After 4 years, we will be buying a new washer and will never buy Whirlpool products again.

Does not clean dishes every dish I take out has to be wiped clean with a rag, I'm sooo disappointed with this machine

Bought it because it was the "Gold Series ". After using it for a year dishes will not come dry and there is an terrible smell coming from. We have tried everything to clean interior and drain lines but nothing has worked. I would not buy another Whirlpool dishwasher.

I have never written a review like this. This a poor quality product. From day one their was issues with this dishwasher. It never properly cleaned the food off of the plates. The top rack is made of cheap plastic and broke in several places. (Tie wraps are holding it together). I have had multiple service techs out to fix this dishwasher. I have tried every recommendation made by either the service tech or manufacturer and still the dishwasher does not clean. Complete garbage done waste your money..........

This came with the home I purchased in The Villages, FL. It's ok. To me, doesn't do any better than the one I had at my old home that was installed 3-4 years ago. Did the job but not so great with non-presoaked bake ware. As long as I used Jet Dry glasses come out clean. Now the Whirlpool Gold frig. is worst than their dishwasher. I have had problems with that since day one and continuing as of the day.
