Whirlpool Dishwasher Review

Our whirlpool dishwasher ( Du1145XTPB87 ) works well, cleans well and is quieter than any we have ever owned!  How ever it has several features that are quite disturbing.  It is supposed to sense the degree of soil and cleanliness.  But we wash the dishes before we put them in !  All soil is removed because with just two of us, it does not get run but every 2 or 3 days.  The dishwasher still takes one and one half hours to run.  It continlally stops every few minutes, supposedly to " sense " the amount of soil, or to see if they are clean.  I can not understand why with rather clean dishes it takes so long.  If we just scraped off the loose food, I wonder how long it would take then ?   

After it finishes the cycle, the dishwashes just sits there with the " washing " lights lit for some time before the " clean " light comes on ! 

Another irritation is that the " table ware " rack is awkward to fill, and sometimes comes open, occasionally spilling the " table Ware " all over the floor, when I take it to the counter to put things away !
