Consumer Reports

You may want to take note of a few things.

• 1. Kenmore dishwashers are produced by many manufacturers such as Whirlpool, GE, LG, & Frigidaire.  Depending on who manufactures the Kenmore dishwasher you purchase will have a great deal to do with how likely your new dishwasher will need repair.


• 2. Dishwashers have very specific size and plumbing requirements to fit properly into your kitchen cabinetry. Take a close look at your cabinets, water valves, plumbing and the dishwashers spec sheet so additional installation charges don’t surprise you.
