QuestionWhat is a pocket handle. Where are the dials...?
Asked 5 years ago by BU.
- Answer The controls for this are along the top edge of the door. My dishwasher is white, but the controls are against a black background which tends to show smudges and fingerprints. If I could change anything about this dishwasher, I would make the control panel the same color as the rest instead of a contrasting black on a white dishwasher. The pocket handle is just a recessed door handle so no towel bar type handle along the front of the unit. I wanted a smooth front because I hate handles that stick out, especially on cabinets and doors, which catch on things.

Questionhi, what are the key differences/additional features or quality you get with this model over purchasing the WDF520PADM (currently about $130 cheaper at Best Buy)? thank you.
Asked 6 years ago by candeleh.
This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 24" Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless Steel
- Answer The interior is all stainless in the more expensive dishwasher. This is useful because it allows the temperature to get higher which cuts down on moisture and will lower the risk of your dishwasher getting mold. Also, you’re less likely to see stains in the interior.
