| longbow3866's Full Review: Whirlpool GU1500XT - Multiple Color 24 in. Built-i... |
As with many others above, we bought this machine based upon the Consumer Reports ratings.
We purchased our machine 2 1/2 years ago and have finally decided to throw it out. After the first 6 months, our motor went out. Luckily the $400 repair was covered by the warranty. Now, 2 years later the motor is out again. We called Whirlpool thinking they might "feel our pain" as this was the second motor to fail. They were courteous at first, but then curtly explained "We can't help you".
What a joke, we paid over $600 for this machine and it is a piece of junk. In addition to the lousy motors, the inside of the machine gets "gunk" all inside the trays and rollers. The little clips for the extra racks broke after the first few months. The manual says you do not need to rinse your dishes, except for bones and the like, before placing them in the washer. This is true only if you know how to take apart the machine and remove the gunk that will clog filter/screen.
Be smart and STAY AWAY from this machine.
