Maytag Dishwashers Reviews

Purchased Maytag dishwasher 6 years ago (model MDB4949SHZ0) and have had to replace the control board four times so far (three under extended warranty). Dishwasher is acting up again. Calling Maytag/Whirlpool usually has the response that they can send a repair person for about $375 AGAIN! I do not recommend Maytag dishwashers as they are not reliable as one would think with the name. Dishwasher does work well when it does work.

2026 I purchased a Maytag dishwasher and the kick plate doesn't reach the floor, like my old Maytag did. And the old Maytag was steel not cheaply made plastic. Very disappointed.

Never cleans anything. I wash dishes by hand beforehand and they come out dirtier than they came in. Has been “fixed” multiple times and still refuses to work. Buttons sometimes just don’t work when you press them, and the washer isn’t even old.

Do not spend hard earned money on any Maytag products. It's not like the old days when the Maytag repair man was always out of work. The products are poorly built and unreliable. 2 months out of 1 year warranty and a $600 dishwasher is no longer functional. Maytag's respond, "Sorry you're shit out of luck." Don't make the samemistake I did. Spread the word.

What disgusting quality! Paid over $900 for a top of line Maytag dishwasher from Costco, thinking it will last long. The drain pump broke in just over 3 years. Their standard warranty doesn't cover this after 1 year. Called their customer support and they quoted $350 for inspection and repairs. The cleaning quality is not good either. Model number is MDB8959SKZ0; serial number FA4401055.

I’m writing to express my deep frustration with my Maytag dishwasher (Model MDB9979SKZ), purchased on July 14, 2021. This has been, without question, the most unreliable appliance I have ever owned. From the very first year, the unit has repeatedly shown E1 and F9 error codes—problems that are widely reported by other customers as well. Despite careful use and proper maintenance, the same issue keeps returning. I live alone and travel about half the year, so this dishwasher has been used fewer than 150 times total. Now, I’ve been told the entire machine has failed and that repairs will cost over $500 use, and this experience raises serious concerns about the brand’s product quality and reliability. The service was also nothing to write home about.

After 1 year and 4 months of use on a brand new Maytag dishwasher, the main control board died. Called Maytag (Whirlpool) to see if I could get a concession for a new board that I would have a technician install, and they said no. I asked how long this appliance should last, and they said 5-10 years. Didn't seem to phase the company that this died in less than a year and a half. Pathetic excuse for a manufacturer. Won't be buying Maytag, or Whirlpool, ever again.

I purchased a Dryer in Jan of 2023. My motherboard went out within 2 years of purchasing with Maytag. Fast Forward I then purchase a Dishwasher in Feb 2024 it is now August and I called customer service and they said you have two options which were purchasing warranty plan for 330.00 for 12 months. NO, THANK YOU. My dishwasher should last more than 1.5 years. WHY DO THEY NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. Will never again purchase in the MAYTAG FAMILY. Horrible customer service also.

14 months ago we replaced all our kitchen appliances and washer/dryer with Maytag, thinking we were buying a great product. Last week our dishwasher would not start. Gave a code. We called the repair service we bought the units from. Turns out the soft touch control panel needs to be replaced. We now have a $250 bill. We are a couple of Srs. We are not abusive to our appliances. We are extremely disappointed. I will be contacting Maytag customer service in hopes they will cover the cost of the defective board.

I have never issues with any other dishwasher but in the last three years it has ruined all my clear dishes. Glasses, storage containers, pie plates anything that is clear, all baked in stains. I've tried everything including scrubbing with barkeepers friend, to no avail. It's like it doesn't clean them at all but the drying feature bakes the stain into the glass. AND it has a 2hr 43 min cycle!!! That my friends is insane! I have not had it that long but want to replace it. It's beautiful stainless in my kitchen, is really quiet but not effective at all...
