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.
Never buy a Samsung appliance is my best advice. I wish I would have listened when the salesman time me that. I won't buy their electronics either but that's just because of how shitty they were with the appliances.
I did all Samsung in my current kitchen. Microwave died in 3 years, I've repaired the dish washer 3 times now it and doesn't even clean that well and the bi metal switch that cools the stove electronics got stuck so I had to take the whole thing apart to replace a $5 part. Never buying Samsung again.
That's pretty much what the repair guy told me too. He was here looking at the Samsung oven.
Also GE is shit.
Get Bosch. If that's too expensive, LG is next tier down.
Siemens is also owned by bosch's parent company and I've heard that they have good products as well

Yeah I bought a Samsung range and it started to fail after the warranty ran out. Terrible quality. Range eyes stopped working so we wound up with one eye that we could cook on, and the oven temperature sensor went bad and after replacing it twice (an easy part to replace) it wouldn't keep temperature. I'll never buy a Samsung appliance again. Went with an inexpensive, used Frigidaire Gallery and even though it has fewer features, it's rock solid.
