Wouldn't you know it, the week after we replace the Stove, the Dishwasher dies! It was 13 years old, we originally replaced it a few years after our son was born, and apparently time to replace it. 13 years seems both long and short!
What we bought
- Bosch Evolution Escenta
KitchenAidFire.com
In looking at our options, I came across http://kitchenaidfire.com and it's put me off the KitchenAid (and related) brand of products. That many fires in the control panels of an Appliance should have resulted in more of a response from the manufacturer.
Currently, there appears to be a pending Class Action Lawsuit (http://www.kleinlyons.com/class-actions/current/whirlpool-dishwashers-class-action/). I'm not sure how much weight to give this site. It seems to be a Troll site for people unhappy with Sears products. It doesn't diminish the concerns about fires, but I'm debating how heavily I should weight it in my decision about what to buy.
The Sears products are VERY popular, and if the problem was endemic, I would expect there to be more information about it, and more concern on the part of Sears. From what I can see, there does not seem to a sense of urgency either from Sears or the Lawyers handling the case. Apparently, the lawsuit was filed in Canada in September of 2013, with all activity to dat occurring on 2 days.
What do you know ... Kenmore, Whirlpool, etc DID issue recalls for dishwashers due to a fire hazard. CPSC.gov Dishwasher Recalls
