Most new homes (prob code) now have a catch sill and drain for washing machines. I don't understand why there isn't one for dishwashers. I had two neighbors in our cul-de-sac that have had major damage (20K+) on their main floor and basements due to dishwashers failing.
Maytag, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and Jenn-air are all the same company, and mostly the same parts. When we bought our appliances I really wanted to get the Jenn-Air 'Floating Glass' fridge. Think it was around $3600 at the time 13 years age. Was out of the budget, and did some research, found out it was identical to the $1600 Maytag fridge we bought but with glass on the door. Everything else was identical.
Agreed on how sad it is. A lot of Millwrights are turning into R&R (remove & replace) guys rather than R&R&R (remove, repair, and reinstall). Not their fault for the most part as companies and manufacturers are pushing it this way. lilduke above said the truth. "Cant sell new appliances if they last forever" .
On our Maytag dishwasher I replaced the thermal fuse twice. Was told that my water was 'too hot' and that using the dishwasher on the hi temp/sanitize cycle can cause issues with the thermal fuse as its inside the door. What a joke. Dishwasher that you couldn't use all the cycles/options to dry the dishes. Ended up replacing it with a Samsung from home depot at the end of 2020. No issues with the Samsung, but it doesn't do a great job. Got it on a huge sale for about $550 or would have bought the Bosch 300 series for about $1300.
I'm guessing bells and whistles but a friend has a 300 series. Toss anything in, no matter how dirty or caked on food and everything always comes out clean and dry.
My Bosch is a 300 and is 22 years years old. I would look at the 100 series as long as the WHOLE tub is stainless steel and not just a part of the tub. I use 2 setting on my DW and that's it.
I have a Wolf gas cooktop in my island. It’s given trouble as well, no repair place will even consider traveling to my home. I could’ve replaced it 5 times already for the price I paid….

The president of LG appliances has come out and said that there stuff is made to last for10 years of service. "Corporate greed is what I call it." We build our house 26 years ago and have a white 26 old Maytag side by side with water and ice in the door, was state of the art back then. White Maytag stove and dish washer that are also 26 years old and all still working just fine. The olny thing we have replaced on the fridge are the defrost tubes a couple time thats it. The first time I watched the repair guy change them and he said to me these are well build fridges and told me dont sell it or I be disapointed with the new junk thats out there.The old lady wanted to by all new appliances after our reno and put in stainless steel in. I said to her not a chance after watching her sister and our friends have nothing but problems with todays new junk thats out there.
That's exactly what I am looking at right now.. 100 has less features, plastic bottom, same basic build quality, sounds like they are all basically the same with more features and quieter as you go up in models. $300 increase to go 300 from 100 apples to apples. Lower end bosch models I am told do not dry plastics very well, upper end have a better technology there. I just can't stomach spending more than $1000 for a dishwasher but there is certainly people buying them. Watch who you commit to buying from there are lots of shortages and they don't tell you that until you put your money down..
Looks like you told the freeze where it’s going once you saw the mess.
