Since moving in, we have had issues on and off with the dishwasher. The POs remodeled the kitchen in late 2014/early 2015 to better their chances of selling the house. However, their choices in appliances shows just how annoyingly stupid and uninterested they were in the long-term use of the home.
Case in point: our first winter here we got so fed up with refrigerator that could not be opened properly because of the size of its door handle and its location that we just went out and bought a new one. It was amazing how quickly we forgot how annoying the old fridge was.
Well, the dishwasher and the stove the POs installed are both equally problematic. While the oven couldn’t hold a constant or even uniform temperature, the dishwasher required a little wiggle with the door each time you want to run it, else the door didn’t close properly and the unit wouldn’t run. In August we finally learned why the dishwasher needed to be wiggled–the POs left us a defective unit that was missing part of the left-side hinge.
Eventually the construction failed and we had a very saggy door (first pic). So we did our typical read-lots-of-reviews and research-various-options, and finally settled on a nice Miele unit. Problem solved!
