in fact I still am. We have an older house that never had a dishwasher so about 5 years ago we were all excited to finally be able to do a kitchen remodel that included new cabinets and new appliances, including a dishwasher.
Well in the first year we got to use it maybe 5 times. First the plumber didn't do something right so it leaked all over but that didn't matter because the pump in it died (probably as a result of the faulty plumbing. Hell, I don;t know - I don't know jack squat about plumbing or appliances.) both the contractor and the appliance manufacturer managed to string us along until all warranties ran out. They never could figure out how to fix whatever was wrong inside or out. So I got a big shiny stainless steel section of decoration.
We got so disgusted with the whole thing we just went back to hand washing and only just now are considering having it looked at again. This time by a non-criminally-incompetent contractor.
We found out the old one charged us to for pulling permits he never bothered to get and who knows what else...Oh wait, I know what else...part of the remodel included building a new bathroom (Not IN the kitchen lol...but on the other side of an adjoining wall). He didn't use the right drywall for bathrooms and he didn't put in a drain pan liner so now we gotta tear that all out and start over.
Anyway, the dishwasher people blamed the contractor, and the contractor, when he was still around, blamed the dishwasher and I just don;t know enough about either to know know who is telling the truth (although I'm sure it's the not the contractor since he lied about so many other things).
And the worst part is he is long gone so I can't even find his house and take a shit on his door step.
