Another problem – Now the sump pipe union is leaking. Last time it was the drain hose, the time before that the basket wheels deteriorated and would not operate (now the replacements are doing the same thing, they only last a few years) this dishwasher is also now rusting in the front panel. Very poor quality construction, expensive parts and difficult to install. Show details
not bad for second hand – We recently bought our Westinghouse dishwasher second hand for $50. Although it doesn't dry the dishes (something we really don't care too much about), it is very easy to use, cleans very well in eco mode (so far), and fits a general load. The wheels on the racks are very flimsy and are continuously coming off and bending and the whole thing… Read more
tilts very easily when loading (although it doesn't fall over thank goodness so we don't see it as a problem either). It is noisy but i've heard dishwashers that are much louder. Overall it is a great buy for $50.
Pathetic service – Electrolux came to my place to change the board, 1 year and 3 months ago, apparently there was a problem with that model, it was free of charge, but we didn't have any problems with it, now doesn't work properly and they told me it is 140.00 dollars to come a have a look plus parts etc. It had 1 year warranty of course, that was a rip off. Never… Read more
again I will buy Westinghouse or Electrolux products. Bet you that they will send a message now, asking me to call them so they can help me. Well if they want to help send a service man for free to change that faulty part.
Dishwasher doesn't dry the dishes – Hi every one. After looking at reviews and talking to the local repair shop, I opted to pay $170 to put a new control panel in my dishwasher that was supposed to fix the issue of this dishwasher not doing a final hot wash. It hot washed on the first cycle, so the heat element was ok but failed to do the final rinse hot, so the dishes had residue… Read more
on them, and didn't dry. Well, that was a waste of $170. I then had a lights on moment, payed $19 for a 3 way tap fitting, and hooked the dishwasher straight to our sink hot water supply. We now have hot wash, hot rinse and hot every other type of wash....., and the dishwasher finishes very hot, so we just open the door at the end of the cycle, and the dishes dry, and are squeaky clean. Yes, we will pay more for the power, but it is worth it to get the problem resolved. This is a D.I.Y. cure that bypasses new Westinghouse parts and the service agents or electricians! Hope this helps any other frustrated SB908WK owners that can't get the hot wash happening !
This is not a dishwasher for someone who likes a great trouble free, good washing / drying unit.
Terrible – Do not buy this if you want a well made reliable machine. I have no faith in my dishwasher at all now and I am just waiting for it to fail again. Washes really well Has broken down 3 times in the first 2and a half years. We are lucky we bought an extended warranty so it hasnt cost us anything except that its been out of action a total of 11 weeks… Read more
over that time. All problems due to water leaking onto electricals so it is a recurrent problem. Would never buy one again

Terrible – Do not buy if you want something to last Spares are very expensive Expensive to maintain Pushbuttons are very hard to operate Replaced pumps, the main control board ( it looks like that it was made in some back yard alley . the plastic piece that operated the push buttons, very high maintenance costs, the
