A friend of mine has a F&P dishwasher. It's been repaired at least three times under warranty, replaced once, and the replacement itself has needed repairs. Since they had the warranty on their side there was no out-of-pocket expenses, but the thing has been totally unreliable. I have no idea what had been going wrong, since they are the types who, when it comes to such things, can barely replace a light bulb much less understand what has gone wrong. Plus, they buy lots of service contracts. I guess this is one of those situations where it paid off, or will in the future.
