Dishwashers

[BrightSparkles]

How long does your take to complete a normal cycle? We moved into this rental and I was really excited about having a dishwasher however i'm not looking forward to the electricity bill since it's taking upwards of 5 hours to complete a normal cycle. I'm sure this isn't normal but I can't find anywhere to download the manual from the net. Waiting for a rely from whirlpool.

I think ours is around 1-1/2 hours but that does a quick dry as well

5 hours is not normal. Our takes 60-90 mins

I'd not wait for a reply from them I'd tell the re there's a problem wihbit and get them on to it. It's not essential though so might not be a priority for them

Yeah - sent an email to the real estate this morning asking them to arrange someone to come out (rather email as I have a record then )

Ours is about 70 minutes.
Since the dishwasher was already there, it has to be in working order. 5 hours is definitely not normal though. I'd expect it to put my dishes away for that as well

And refill it with the next load!

On a normal load my old dishwasher took 56 mins, my new one takes 144 mins

5 hours! you must have one of those special ones that come with little cleaning fairies that clean and polish each dish by hand...
