Comment:
The first time this dishwasher was installed it was a lemon -- the technician couldn't even get it to turn on. So another one was ordered and installed. It is very quiet and cleans fine if the dishes are pre-rinsed. We only use it 2-3 times per week. We have had this dishwasher for 1 year and 2 months and now it is broken! The heating coil died and needs to be replaced. We spoke to Samsung and because it is over 1 year they will not cover any of the costs of repair. Our advice is to be wary of purchasing this dishwasher -- obviously it is not built to last and Samsung is not standing behind their product.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
This Dishwashers inability to clean dishes, failure to drain properly and the smell that results from the grime filled gasket at the bottom of the door did not bode well for this appliance. To add insult to injury it packed it in after 14 months of use, and the buttons had to be locked or an inadvertent hip would shut it off. The issues we had are indicative of a poorly manufactured product. Dishes often came out with baked on particles stuck to the inside of tall glasses and after 3 months we figured out that the putrid smell was coming from the gasket at the bottom of the door. It has weeping holes that allow water to drain out of it, problem, food stays in and goes moldy. I cleaned the gasket by squishing and sliding a lysol wipe from the middle to the weep holes. This pushed the rotten food stuffs out of the gasket and into the cloth. The dishwasher smelled 100% better but then required a weekly gasket squishing wipe to keep it that way. The low water level sensor / control board blew up after 14 months. If it wasn't for Customer Service reps, I would have been a very unhappy customer.
