I am updating the original 1* review as they remedied the issues that I raised and my dishwasher was replaced.
I recently purchased a washer, dryer and new KitchenAid dishwasher from B&S Bethesda. The dishwasher made a horrible sound the first time it ran but based on internet searches for this issue, it said it was possible it would go away after the first few uses. After running it a second time with the same issue, I contacted my sales agent on June 8, sent him a video with the noise and he agreed it was not normal. A tech came out on June 12 and was told the wash pump was bad and needed replacement and they would have to get back to me. I called my sales agent and told him since I had ordered and paid for a brand new dishwasher (and five year warranty) I wanted a brand new dishwasher and not a repaired/refurbished one. He said he completely agreed but it wasn't up to him and he would get back to me.
The next call I received was from the Service Dept who repeatedly told me I can't get a new dishwasher because it was after a seven day period that is "noted in my contract." I have no such contract that states I have seven days to return something. I have asked multiple times to be sent a copy of what document states this as I have a PO, invoice and delivery receipt, none of which reference a seven day period. She also said once the part was ordered it had to be repaired; it could not be replaced. In either case, I contacted B&S seven business days after the day of installation, so this argument is irrelevant. I called the sales rep back again and he said he completely agreed with me, I should get a new machine but he would have to "go to Corporate" to try to resolve. I have yet to hear anything.
Additionally, the $100 rebate I was supposed to get from KitchenAid was rejected after I submitted it, based on the information I was provided by my sales rep. I have also not gotten a response as to how that will be resolved.
I ordered and paid for a brand new dishwasher. It was not adequately tested after installation, or the sound would have been apparent after it ran for more than three minutes. I was sold a defective product that did not run correctly when installed and I expect a complete replacement with the same new model as I ordered, not a repaired machine.
