JOAN FOLEY WHIRLPOOL DISHWASHER IS A LEMON BENTON HARBOR Internet, Michigan

   I purchased a Whirlpool Dishwasher at Sears on May 23, 2011.  Warranty was for one year.  When the dishwasher was a little over one year and a half.....the washer would start and then after 15 minutes stop....a red light...cancel would come on and it would drain and stop.

   I called Whirlpool and they scheduled a repairman in my area to fix it.  He came on 1/14 and could not find a problem.   He said it might just be an air bubble, etc..   I paid $89.00 for the trip and he said if it is not working again, he will come back and I would not have to pay the $89 again.

   As soon as he left, I put some dishes in the washer and started it and it did the same thing that I called the repair for.  I immediately made another appointment for him to come back today (1/18)
He had me go out to the garage and turn the breaker off and then wait and come back in.  I did that and he continued to be puzzled that it had the same problem.  

  He then told me, it must be the Main Control Board which is very expensive.  I told him that was not fair as the washer is not that old.  He told me to contact Whirlpool and left.

  I called and explained and the woman on the other end had me hold while she checked to see if it was a recall, etc.    She said it was not and the part would be $155.00 plus labor, etc.  When I objected, she said I could either get it fixed or buy a new one.

  I then called Sears where I bought it.  I was told the same thing there.  Either get it fixed or buy a new one.   I will never buy another Whirlpool item again!
