- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
- Operating Sound Level: 44 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room.

- Child Lock: false (Setting that allows appliance to be temporarily locked to prevent use.)

Keep up with the tools you use from preparation to the table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex third rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates, and mixing bowls. The advanced clean water wash system circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks.
- FreeFlex third rack: The large third rack has a deep, angled design that fits 6" glasses, mugs, and bowls.
- 44dBA: Provides quiet cleaning without compromising performance, so there's no need to wait to run a wash cycle, while entertaining and enjoying meals, even in open concept kitchens.
- Advanced clean water wash system: Uses microfiltration to continuously remove food particles during the wash and rinse cycles and circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks. This allows dirty cookware and delicate glassware to be washed together in the same load.

Q: Can the “made in America” sticker be removed? If so, does it leave a mark?
A: Just recently installed a Whirlpool dishwasher with a foil looking "Made in the USA" sticker on the bottom right-hand corner of the front door. I tried to lift it with a fingernail, however it wouldn't budge. I took a microfiber cloth and saturated it with very hot tap water and held it on the sticker for a few minutes. I was able to lift enough of the sticker to grip it with my fingertips and it peeled right off....problem solved.
Q: Is the product made in the USA?
A: Mine has a label on the front low right corner that it is made in the USA.
A: You are probably hearing the blade that pulverizes any food particles so they can be pumped out with the dirty water. I'm used to it now and have plans to put it to the test by not rinsing, or even scraping food off thoroughly, and seeing how it does. Hope this helps!
Q: Can this dishwasher adjust to 33.5 inches tall?
A: Linny, the Dishwasher's minimum height is 33 1/2".

LOVE IT!
I absolutely love this dishwasher! It is well-built, roomy and its great configuration allows for plenty space to load a variety of items. The top third rack allows for more space for glasses. It cleans very well and very quiet. I got the model with the controls in the front instead of of on top of the door on purpose and absolutely love that feature. My last one was a GE Profile with the controls on the top of the door, which was it difficult to see where in the cycle it was once it was running and I had all sorts of problems with the panel freezing and needing to restart. In addition, the whole process with Best Buy, from the purchase to installation, was also great. They communicated with me from the get go and provided updates on the date of delivery so that I knew where I was within the delivery window. Once they arrived, the installers did a wonderful job. Highly recommend this dishwasher.

My Choice After Months of Research
I was in a battle with my insurance company over my roof, and I held out on purchasing a dishwasher until claim was settled. This led to me researching dishwashers for MONTHS! I am so happy with my choice. This dishwasher checked all my boxes. 1. NO top controls or handle. 2. Great at Drying PLASTICS. 3. Fingerprint friendly 4. 3rd rack would be nice. 5. Reliable and Good Brand. 6. Great Reviews. This dishwasher is amazing and lived up to its reviews. Surpassed my expectations. It has cleaned dishes that sat overnight, baked on food, greasy red sauce dishes... cleaned with no prior rinsing/scrubbing!!! The only water left on dishes is if it concaves on dish. I have cups that pool water at the top, but other than that my dishes are dry! I do use Cascade Platinum Rinse Aid and Sam's Members Mark dishwasher pods. The middle rack is so easy to adjust height and on the right side, it can fit taller items. Bottom rack back prong also folds down super easy to adjust for more open space. I did have to remove one of the silverware utensil separators because most of my utensils are thick and round on the ends. It slid off easily. This replaced my 18 year old GE base model that required me to wash the dishes before putting the dishes in dishwasher. I am very happy with my purchase, and Best Buy Geek Squad installers did an excellent job too. They were fast and professional.

Excellent dishwasher!
I got this model recently as my old washer died after 7 years. Im so impressed with my clean dishes. I don’t have to run the extra power cycle to get clean dishes. The noise level is minimal and it is very aesthetically pleasing.
