timer stuck on '1 min remaining' for 30+ mins. Dishes are dirty, wet and cold. No error codes, spray arms clear, filters clean. After researching I found this is a documented failure pattern; identical heating element and control board failures between 3-5 years. I've contacted them and their response is DISAPPOINTING. Failed to respond after a written complaint, when I called, they stressed that this is out of their goodwill so they will send a technician out more than a week away.

It fits so much, and the baskets are great, the adjustability of shelf heights and the ability to lay down the supports fitting EVERYTHING was so easy. Its reasonably quiet. For the price of the machine it has a lot of features. Unfortunately, we are not in a serviceable area so when it started faulting it could not be repaired and it will be refunded, and we will need to replace it, after waiting months to get the original machine I won't wait again. I am sad to see it go as I love this machine for the price I just wish it lasted longer. That said I live in NT with very hard water.
