Bought a Westinghouse WSF6608KXA for a kitchen renovation. The unit broke only after 4 months of light use. Keep on overloading the circuit breaker. I called service line and the staff was very rude. Their offer was to get the unit repaired somewhere else though it's obviously under warranty. I gave them a chance as recommended by friends but I should never give them my business as the after sales are a terrible experience. Never again will buy a Westinghouse products.

Purchased this dishwasher April 2021 and have had to call techs 4 times to attend to multiple different errors F1, F2 and the powder dispenser not closing properly.
Dishwasher was professionally installed by reseller company.
Face panel is paint is chipping like we have owned it for 20 years, paint they use appears to be inadequate, so it looks cheap with chipped paint in different areas. My friend has the same dishwasher and it also has paint chips all over the face panel.
The bottom tray closes against the door, thus causing food and de...

This replaced a Westinghouse WDF901, which failed due to the water heater packing up. First impressions were that, for the top Westinghouse model, it didn't have the internal light, bottom rack had a mind of its own, top rack didn't run as nicely on its track and the cutlery tray was also a bit wobbly. The cutlery tray is a bit of a disaster zone as knives don't fit in "blades inwards" as the handles don't fit in those little gaps and if you put them in "blades outwards" they can sometimes slide backwards and drop through those big gaps in t...
Read morehe middle of the tray. After use I found that the soap dispenser door was stiff and would sometimes not open fully (replaced under warranty). It's a bit noisier than my old one, has some mysterious clunks inside as it rinses (I've check there's no wobbling dishes) and some other ghostly noises when going about its business. I had some mysterious errors on the daily cycle for a while and when turning the unit on it very very infrequently thinks it needs to disregard the start button and start on the default cycle without being told to. The basic function - washing - works as expected. Things I put in there are already well scraped and I pretty much clean egg off things if it's on anything. I haven't noticed much difference with the drying function - things which retain heat will always dry themselves pretty well, it's plastic stuff which is always a bit hit-and-miss and I've not noticed the fan really do much with plastic dishes drying any better. The buttons are different on these new generation machines and require a much lighter touch. Some other people in my household have "butt dialled" the power button a few times. Overall it's an okay machine. I would not have liked to pay full rrp for it and I'm surprised that some of the good things with my old machine aren't on this new one (the light for example). If the drawers and the cutlery tray were like, say, the current Asko models, this Westinghouse would be a sensation.Purchased in at Appliances Online.

The quality of this machine is below expectation. The lower tray runs off the track every single time and we have to lift it back on with a tray full of dishes, pots and pans.
The top tray is not tall enough for taller glasses and does not facilitate it very well rested on angle like a wine glass. Small bowls won't fit properly and neither does plastic containers. The cutlery tray is orientated in a way that if you have knives, forks and spoons in, you have trouble loading other things like spatula, flippers, peelers etc.
irrespective of price, the machine is not designed well, and we'd be better paying more for a more practical machine. 2 star.

Two weeks of ownership and its broken waiting on a new "Board"
After two weeks this Premium Dishwasher WSF6608KXA has NO POWER. Completely dead, useless. $1000 paperweight waiting for the local repairer to contact us with the new part and arrange to disrupt my day to install it. After two weeks you wouldn't expect this, on further investigation seems to be quite common for Westinghouse Dishwashers to blow the main Board (usually after a couple of years not weeks). Maybe change suppliers or get better Q&A. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Will not purchase or recommend this brand.

Worked well for 2yrs till electrical fault occurred. Dishwasher now replaced with new one. Thank you!
Worked well for 2years then it stopped working and was tripping the RCD switch in the meterbox. Tested it by plugging it in to another socket but was still tripping the circuit. Not sure what's wrong with it and how long the warranty is on this machine.
Update 26.11.21
Electrolux has since replaced the dishwasher with a new machine. Thank you for standing by your warranty and brand. Very grateful!

This is the most frustrating dishwasher I have ever had. The control panel is too sensitive and the lightest touch starts it off and I can never seem to cancel the cycle or reset it once this happens. It always runs on the 2.5 hr cycle when this happens. Extremely wasteful and frustrating. The baskets are really flimsy too. My large dinner plates don’t fit in the bottom rack.
Also it’s only a few months old and some of the dividers in the the cutlery are already breaking.
Really disappointing and would definitely not recommend this to anyone.

It's taken me 6 months to write this review, hoping I could 'warm' to this dishwasher...
We updated our kitchen and chose Westinghouse for our gas cooktop, dishwasher & Australian made oven. The oven & the gas cooktop are fantastic and couldn't be happier. I was hoping the same for the dishwasher. It's dark stainless steel and the plastic top strip has already worn around the edges. It has various washing cycles where some are better than others. I have programmed the 50 min / 65 degree setting and find it to work the best.
The good poin...

We've always bought Westinghouse dishwashers and found them to be good value, easy to use and and washed our dishes efficiently. This new one is good as well except for one thing: the ridges in the cutlery tray at the top of the dishwasher are much too narrow for all except the most skinny of table knives. This means you have to find a spot to lay the knives flat on the tray, underneath or in between other cutlery. They won't be getting washed on both sides evenly, I think. Forks, spoons etc. go in fine but I would have preferred the cutlery basket like the earlier models.

My WSF6608X Dishwasher had an issue with "H01" and "50" (how long the chosen "Time Save" cycle needs) flashing alternately on the Display Board. I wasn't able to deactivate the timer function according to the product manual. I called the Helpline - it took 1 hour 15 minutes before an operator answered my call. Her advice was to schedule a repair appointment ($150 inspection fee).
I used the mediation process via this website and was contacted by the Customer Care team within the same day. The lady has given me other instructions and bingo! I...
Read more could get my machine working again. I'm thankful for her help. The dishwasher has served our big household very well. The rack configuration is flexible. With rinse aid the dishes are washed n dried very well. I love cooking and entertaining and the Time Save (50 mins) program has worked so well that I can easily put a load of dishes on and have it done with before desserts are served. I can even fit my Weber BBQ plate in it and have it washed well. With better after sales care, I would be happy to stick with Westinghouse should I need to replace the machine.Purchased in .

Doesn’t fit standard size dinner plates, if adjust the top shelf to be higher to fit plates, top shelf doesn’t fit glasses. So we will be hand washing either plates or glasses which defeats the point. Wish we’d kept our 20 year old dishwasher when renovating our kitchen as it’s better than this brand new but totally impractical one.

I bought this brand new, it had been working fine for about 2 weeks (only used a handful of times) then did not turn on. No error code, plug is working fine. So disappointed, these things make me lose faith in the brand. How can a brand new appliance stop working after 2 weeks of use? Technician coming to look at it next week.

We were happy with this dishwasher until it broke just months out of warranty (F9 fault).
The service centre was initially unhelpful but, through the mediation function provided through productreview, a more helpful company representative reached out and arranged for my dishwasher to be serviced at no cost. I didn't need to wait weeks for a technician to be available and the dishwasher was repaired in 8 minutes. This is a good and fair outcome since dishwashers should last much longer.
My belief that Westinghouse is a quality brand has been restored.

This dishwasher has a problem with shorting out mid cycle. It has been faulty from brand new. Have seen many other people complain about the same fault on this model. Must be a manufacturing fault.

Questions & Answers
The paint is chipping of of the the top of dishwasher after only 6 months. Does anyone know if there is a touch up paint available for this model. Dark stainless Steel. TIA.
It will be covered under warranty, the techs come out and replace the panel for free and so they should, it’s not very high quality. I have 40yr old dishwasher with less chips on panel.
