Westinghouse WSF6604WA (White)

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 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.

Not happy! – Bought this brand and paid more money thinking I would get a longer lasting and better quality product…Right on the warranty expiry date the machine started to get the smell of smoke from the back and not filling with water. I followed the trouble shooting guide of turning it off and resetting which worked for a couple of months until it was out of warranty… Same problem again but this time it did not come back after the trouble shooting method! Contacted Electrolux to try and get a good will repair or replacement but they were unhelpful and unwilling even though it is only 4 months out of warranty! So I can pay $165 and whatever the parts cost or write it off ! Why do they make the cheap junk dishwashers only to break once the warranty is expired?! Not happy and will think twice before I buy any of the Electrolux product range again! I could have bought a cheap junk dishwasher for half the price! After seeing some of the reviews on this sight it looks like the quality and service at Electrolux has really gone off a cliff!

After review Was contacted by Electrolux after writing this review and they came to the party with a service visit and repair. Unfortunately the part was unavailable but has been ordered. Hopefully that will fix the issue and I will get at least another few years out of the machine. Time will tell!

Machine has been repaired though it was a bit of a journey. A little less disillusioned with the service now though I did have to write this review to get a resolution. Thanks to Electrolux for coming to the party and fixing the machine!
