Re: Question/Help: Dishwasher

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Have you tried Seventh Generation Free & Clear dishwasher detergent?

I've never used these, but Deirdre and I use the box of powder version (not the packs) and were happy with them, although neither of us have fragrance allergies.? We buy the powder at Arbor Farms Market on Stadium in Ann Arbor, although I don't remember if they also sell the pods there or not.

I used to own a Miele dishwasher and was very happy with it.? It never broke in the 12 years I had it until I moved out, unlike GE dishwashers where I went through 2 repairs and 1 replacement in the four years before that.

The topic came up on Reddit /r/AnnArbor within the last week as well. Big George had mixed reviews. Heydlauff had a few positive votes and no negatives that I remember.

And yes, you¡¯re right, a different brand of soap did not break your circuit board.

I've seen that but also noted that despite calling it "free & clear" Cascade does say that it's lemon-scented.

Hi, all,

This question is going to come in two parts.

1) Is there an appliance store in town that includes *installation* of dishwashers?

2) I have been told by a repairman (but not one that inspires confidence) that the reason the dishwashers fail is because I am not using the officially approved soap from Cascade (which is because Cascade doesn't offer a scent-free variety and my household includes folk with epipen-worthy fragrance allergies). So I'd appreciate either options for scent-free dishwasher packets that are better than "Seventh Generation", or a dishwasher recommendation that can cope with cheap gritty soap packets?

And here's the vent.

I know the soap isn't the problem this time, because the start button is sticking and the repair dude said it needs a new circuit board, which would cost more than buying a new washer. I figure I might as well see if anyone has helpful thoughts for the other problem before I try to buy a new one.

I've had horrific experiences buying from several (most recently Menard's and Maytag direct, previously Lowe's and Home Depot), and my patience with this is well past its expiration date. I buy the dishwasher, I add installation, they schedule delivery, then they show up and say there is no installation in my area. I've lived here 26 years, and have had to replace the dishwasher 5 times. I used to be able to arrange installation, but the last two times I've tried to buy a new dishwasher, I've run into problems with that part, and it's a huge HUGE hassle. I'm a person with disabilities, and they expect to leave the dishwasher in my driveway and have me sort it out later. I tried that once, and the second time I tried returning it to the warehouse (after which it took several MONTHS to be reimbursed).

The dishwasher that needs a new circuit board is a Maytag that was purchased in February 2019 with a 10-year-warranty, but I don't know that I want to fight the battle to try to get them to honor the warranty. Honestly, right now, I'm so fed up with Maytag, I wouldn't be happy with a replacement if they gave it to me for free. However, my son and I both have disabilities that make it basically impossible for us to do dishes by hand, so I need to find a solution. I'm kind of at my wit's end. I've spent a lot of hours over the past year trying to find a solution.

Thoughts? THANK YOU in advance!
