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.

This has been a great upgrade. I love the slide out cutlery tray - my dishwasher in my old house has that and I'd been waiting to get a new one specifically for that This one also has the cutlery basket if you prefer that. I really like the flexible layout, you can adjust the racks to accommodate large pots, plates and glasses. I am pretty lax on the pre-rinse before loading but the dishes come out clean everytime on the standard 60 min setting. When the wash cycle is done the machine stays open to remove steam.

Really happy with this machine - the price was a lot more economical than other models and it looks great.
