drilled by the installer. He discouraged us from having holes drilled in the granite, because he was afraid to damage the granite, kept insisting that I have my contractor install the dishwasher from the side using clips, this was not an option because of the design of the dishwasher. Advised my salesperson Jaycee about the damage and the dishwasher installation, she was very helpful in immediately scheduling someone to come and look at the floor, and also schedule the installer to drill the dishwasher holes. The installer never showed up to install the dishwasher and 30 minutes before the scheduled time Jaycee called, apologized and rescheduled telling me her manager would come out and take care it himself. The manager never showed up and no one contacted me about my floor. After waiting for a week, I called Jaycee, she was very defensive and stated that I was not home when they came to do the repairs. When I told her this was incorrect, she checked and confirmed that there was no showed up to do the repairs. She has rescheduled someone to come out again and I hope they show up this time. They are quick to charge your credit card for a 75% deposit and the balance after the installation is completed even though there are outstanding issues from the installation. This company seems to have no sense of urgency and does not seem to understand that customer service is just as important as the product they are selling.

Terry was on time, very business like, but personal enough. We did some small talk as he started his diagnosis, but I left him alone to continue his work. He worked about 50 minutes on the machine. From my observation Terry did know his way around the Dishwasher. Some of the parts on the dishwasher's drawers were interchangeable and Terry swapped them to aid in his diagnosis. Terry suggested I contact F&P due to the probable cost of replacement parts. He said he would call me back, in a day or two, once he got quotes on the parts. The dishwashers are manufactured in Australia and have limited parts distributors. I did call F&P, after Terry left, to get some background on any help F&P might offer on an out of warranty product. F&P said Appliance Marshall was one of there approved repair companies, and that they would need to receive a ?Technical Report? from Appliance Marshall and get back to me. To be continued?.

I am increasingly convinced that this company is basically a scam. In 2 years of usage, I've contacted them 3 times, all on the same issue: 1) 'repair' service came, charged me a deductible and made a dishwasher 'fix' that didn't work, 2) they came again, I got charged a 2nd deductible fee....

Great! When I noticed the leak, I called the office and someone was able to come out within an hour. Nice, courteous. He inspected the water heater and while he was there I had him look at a toilet that was running and also inspect the sump pump. In the end, we needed to replace the water...

Dishwasher Installation questions, answered by experts
A standard dishwasher size is 24-by-24-by-35-inch for a built-in unit. The depth and height line up perfectly with most kitchen countertops and cabinet sizes.
The average dishwasher lasts between 10 and 12 years, however, some dishwashers can last 15 years or more. Just how long your dishwasher lasts depends on how well you maintain it, the quality of the parts, how frequently you use it, your water hardness level, and whether or not you follow dishwasher best practices when loading your appliance.
When deciding whether to repair or replace your dishwasher, you must consider its age and the repair cost. If your dishwasher is more than eight years old, replace it to avoid additional repairs in the near future. Similarly, if you need multiple repairs over a short time, consider purchasing a new one altogether, depending on its warranty. It’s best to repair your dishwasher when the fix cost is less than 50% of the cost of a new dishwasher, provided it is less than eight years old.
No, you don’t need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn’t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn’t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose.
The correct water temperature for your dishwasher depends on the washing phase. When water enters the machine, it should be around 120 degrees Fahrenheit, but no hotter than 150 degrees. During the wash cycle, the machine will heat the water to between 130 and 140 degrees. If your dishwasher has a sanitizing cycle, the water can reach a temperature of up to 180 degrees.
