Our three year old Kitchenaide has had the main control board replaced twice.
The tech told me it was really a design flaw in that the vent is just above
the board and the moisture gets to the board.
I've had too take out an extended warrantee on it since it doesn't seem to be
able to go more than a year without a service call.
While not a dishwasher, I'd stay away from GE. In three years the microwave
has had one service call and the door is now rusting out. Our GE vent hood
runs fine but the bulbs only last a couple of months and cost $5.00 apiece.
After our kitchen remodel I determined it would be cheaper to eat out ever
night.
