Best Westinghouse Freestanding Dishwashers

Disappointing Product Reliability and After-Sales Service I purchased the Westinghouse Dishwasher WSF6606KXC in July 2026, and just three months… Read more

later, in October 2026, it has already stopped working, displaying an E1 error.

While it is extremely disappointing that a brand-new dishwasher has failed after only three months, what is even more frustrating is the after-sales service. I've been advised that it will take almost a month for a technician to attend and assess the issue. Being left without a functioning dishwasher for such an extended period is simply unacceptable, especially for a product that is still practically new.

I want to acknowledge that Harvey Norman has been excellent in assisting with the matter. My frustration is directed at Electrolux/Westinghouse and their warranty service department.

Westinghouse was once a brand associated with quality and reliability, but this experience has seriously damaged my confidence in the brand. A product failing after three months is bad enough, but making customers wait almost a month for warranty support only makes the situation worse.

Very disappointing from a brand that should know better.

Its an OK dishwasher. Lots of settings, but its not the largest and made especially useless with the middle shelf height adjustments being too high… Read more

or too low to be useful. On the low setting, we cannot fit standard plates. On the height setting we cannot fit our cheap wine glasses or many other things we would want to put on that shelf. The level of tetris requited on this DW is much heigher than any we have ever owned.

I have read of others removing the cutlery draw to get more height.

Terrible only works on Intensive any other program just throws the crumbs around and they land and dry on the dishes. Show details

Longer term review, have owned the product for about 4 years, worked well and cleaned as it should, all good - until last 6 months or so and since… Read more

then it has started to trip out the electrical safety switch (RCD) whenever the weather is very humid. After a day or so and the weather gets less humid it will be OK.

Yes, have tested it and it's the only appliance that is tripping the RCD (it's not combined earth leakage from this dishwasher and other things on the same circuit) as I've checked it by running it to a single (recently installed) powerpoint, which is on it's own new RCD circuit-breaker - and it alone trips it.

I know many appliances have a small amount of earth leakage (e.g. 1-3 mA) and may get worse as they age and when humidity is high (dry = better insulation) (most RCDs trip when there is 30 mA or more electrical earth leakage). I also realize dishwashers are particularly prone to earth leakage as their heating element get older then micro-fractures may develop in the insulation which allow it to absorb moisture from air when humid and which can allow enough electrical current leakage to trip the RCD - but I've had a few dishwaters and a couple have done this, but this is by far the worst example I've come across.

So, I guess I'm up to replacing the heating element (which is part of the inline pump), which will probably only last a couple of years before getting the same issue.
