So the “fails to complete a cycle without erroring out” rate finally seems to have reached 100%, on the Samsung dishwasher that came with the house.
What do I need to know when picking a new one, and/or what models do y’all recommend?
I’ll take recommendations about how to fix the current one too, I guess, but I already got advice from an appliance repair man, who basically said “it would need a new control board, I.E. ditch it.” The error code it’s giving is supposedly about insufficient water or water flow, but the water feed is completely fine, as far as I can tell.
I too have come to evangelize for Bosch. Here’s a game you should play when you are looking at new model dishwashers. Pay attention to what the button layout looks like between brands. Then look inside at the racks and general hardware. You’ll start to notice that they are all essentially the same model with slightly different features, but wildly different prices. I swear they are all made in the same factories but one gets they maytag treatment and one gets the whirlpool. Then look at the Bosch and you should notice how weirdly different it is overall. My Bosch has been reliable as rain and has never gotten moldy or stinky or anything like that.
