DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!

I owned this dishwasher for the past 18 month, and it has never worked well.

We replaced our 15-year-old no name dishwasher with this model, because the racks (on the old one) were rusty, and it didn't clean properly anymore.

I did loads of research and finally decided on this Maytag model, at a price of $ 700.- (and Tax). It seemed like a great dishwasher, with extra spray arm, time delay, great program selection...

But you don't always get what you pay for.
It never had proper cleaning power, when it was fully - and correctly - loaded. We tried every dishwasher detergent available, but it made no difference.
Now we only run it 3/4 full, and add an extra squirt of bleach, and the results are somewhat better.

About 3 month ago, it started making a grinding noise, when it was running. My husband (handy with tools and appliances) disassembled the bottom spray arm, and found pieces of plastic had broken off from the dishwasher and were now causing the noise. We removed the plastic pieces, it quieted the diswasher, but did not improve performance.

There was a recall on the dispenser, which has been taken care of. And I don't have an issue with recalls, they do happen unfortunately.
I have an issue with putting your name to a piece of junk and deceiving customers.

I will never buy another Maytag again.
