After going round and round with Lowes my only recourse is getting the repair co. to say its not fixable and than maybe Lowes can exchange it. There is a minimum of two weeks waiting for the repair people to come out, with out a specific time so we have to sit around all day. Very disappointed with Whirlpool and will avoid buying their products, and the extended warrantee from Lowes is basically useless, better off just calling a local repair company if service is needed. I'm glad it wasn't the refrigerator...Doing some research on appliance points to only LG, for a mid price unit, and we all know Bosch is top rated...End of rant. Two weeks and the repair company will be back. Fingers crossed...
Extended warranties on appliances are usually a waste of money especially a Dishwasher that you can replace for around $700. We got rid of our Whirlpool and got a Maytag which has been excellent even though they are under the same corporate umbrella. Get the warranty directly from the manufacturer if you want one and not from the big box store.
