I wanted continuity in my appliances for my kitchen. i loved the range and refrigerator but was leary of the Samsung dishwasher from previous reviews. Against my better judgement, i went with the Samsung. I should have listened. Luckily the first error codes started to show one month before warranty end. I am handy so I paid attention to the repair. Like clockwork, every 18 months, this part would go bad and cause code shut-downs. From the pictures you can see old and new. This is a molded shell so no good way of completely cleaning it. I now know I will spend ~$100 and a half hour of my time every 18 months to keep this 8 year old machine going. It has run perfectly fine otherwise and the stainless steel interior shows no sign of age. I'll keep up with this until a major part goes and then buy LG!
