Maytag Dishwashers Reviews

I purchased Maytag dishwasher model mdb4651aww serial #10307358gr 10/05 paid $549.39. The control board/touch panel had to be replaced 10/07, 7/09, 8/09, 7/10, and 10/10. I requested a replacement machine because the same part keeps failing. I believe there must be a problem with the way the control pad is sealed because it keeps shorting out. Maytag says that they wouldn't count the total number of times the part had to be replaced because the first service contract was for three years and then I extended it for another three years and they count the incidents separately.

Ditto the complaints on dishes coming out dirty, gritty and filmy. Very frustrating. Kerry of NJ describes our problem best. Is there a health hazard in any or all of these situations? The mold problem sounds particularly troubling. I say we go to every consumer/distributor website and rate the KitchenAid dishwasher with these very unfavorable ratings. Maybe even do a video for YouTube. Let's put pressure on the distributors as well. We bought ours from Sears 4 years ago so they should have known about these problems. I'm going to post comments at Sears in hopes that others don't get ripped off. There has to be a way to get KitchenAid to do right by the consumer. A few years ago, Maytag had a problem with front loading washing machines resulting in a class action lawsuit.

I was notified by Maytag of the dishwasher recall due to fire hazard. I submitted required information; rebate forms were to arrive within 7-10 days. I contacted Maytag Rebate Department 7 times during the 39-day period informing them that the rebate form had not arrived. During each contact, I was informed the forms were in the mail. On 1 October (day 39), a complaint was sent to CEO of Whirlpool (Jeff M. Fettig) informing him of situation. Day 44 Rebate Department called to tell me the form was in the mail. On 12 October (day 50), a letter sent to Whirlpool (Jeff M. Fettig) stating my complaint would be sent to Consumer Affairs, BBB, FTC, and Michigan AG.

Maytag dishwasher model #MDB5601AWW is part of a fire hazard recall that I found out about while I was looking at the warranty concerning the broken handle. The dishes also come out dirty.

My Maytag dishwasher is a fire hazard. My Maytag dishwasher model MDBH968AWB started sparking from the top of the dishwasher. It has the number NY2212286 on the side. Luckily, my wife and I were only feet away from it and were able to turn off the power when we saw the smoke coming out of it. Otherwise, we would of had major fire damage to our kitchen and possibly our house.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher model no. MDB9601AWS in February 2007, and I had four major repairs on it within the first two years. The dishwasher has now stopped working for a fifth time, and Maytag is not willing to take any action to replace or repair the dishwasher. I waited on the phone for more than an hour on 8/30, and the agent told me that I could pay $129 to have the repair company diagnose the problem. When the repairman came out today, he told me that the panel needed to be replaced before he could even begin to figure out why the dishes are still dirty.

I received a recall letter about a heater. Per the letter, I shut the dishwasher off at the breaker. The heater was replaced today, but now the dishwasher will not start. The technician said the control panel had gone bad and nothing they did on the recall could have caused it. I called Maytag and they offered a 25% discount on parts. My position is it was working fine, they did the recall and now it does not work. I paid $500.00 for a dish washer less than 2 years ago and the technician says the key pads go bad because of humidity. One would expect that a panel for a dishwasher would take into account humidity as we all know when you open the door, hot humid air comes out. I am 71, on SS, and cannot afford to pay for repairs that magically appear after a recall is fixed.

I am not pleased that there was a recall on a my dish washer on June 3 and I only now got the letter dated August 19. I'm also not pleased that a defective machine that I paid over $500 for is worth only $150 to you. Furthermore, I work nearly 60 hours a week and now, on my one day off I have to sit at home for a five hour period to wait for your repairman (or at least some repairman, because I guess there really isn't a Maytag repair man anymore) to show up. I think holding me hostage for five hours is excessively poor service for a product I didn't get my money's worth. I am glad my family didn't suffer through a fire while waiting for the recall letter but I will not have confidence in my machine or in any Maytag product or service agreement again. I am glad I waited until now before buying the Maytag washer and dryer I've been wanting.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher model MDB7601AWQ on 1/04/06. The $300 sensor panel was replaced under warranty on 5/3/07. The second sensor board failed on 12/01/08. This time, after lengthy negotiation, Maytag agreed to cover the $300 cost of the board and only part of the cost of service. The third sensor board failed on 8/04/10. This time, Maytag would not cover any of the $159 service charge. Furthermore, Maytag consistently denies that the sensor board is a defective product. Three failures of the same board in 6 years is Maytag's standard. They have refused to provide information as to the reliability of the board, claiming that this is proprietary information and is only available if there is a government recall. Does this failure represents a potential safety hazard? If the board is unreliable, is Maytag's safety mechanism subject to the safety defects?

I bought a dishwasher from Home Depot about 3 weeks ago, it never worked. I called Maytag customer services on the same day; they told me that they will send someone to take a look on it 10 days later. When he came, he found that some part is defective, so he told me that this part will be shipped to my home 3-4 days later. Now it's one week later and I got a call telling me that it will take additional week, and it could also take another week to schedule the actual repair and who knows what else could happen! I paid more than $540 for a dishwasher and I am almost a month now without a dishwasher. This is very bad!

I filed an email complaint yesterday (July 28) about a Maytag (owned by Whirlpool) dishwasher and received a response from you that it would be published within 48 hours.

I received a recall notice that my Maytag dishwasher was a fire hazard. I needed to call a 1-800 number to get it fixed. I called the number and within three days, repairmen came and fixed the dishwasher. Maytag and everyone concerned were very nice. It cost us nothing. We spent only a few minutes on the phone. There was no waiting.

We have a Maytag Dishwasher Model MDBH945AWW3, Serial E71195. Maytag is owned by Whirlpool. It was purchased and installed late July 2009. MFR warranted until August 16, 2010 per their customer service records. It broke in mid August and worked intermittently, sort of until we called on August 20th 2009; it wouldn't turn on at all. It came on automatically one night, but then nothing. I notified Maytag who dispatched Al's Appliance out of Spring Valley, MN, now closed and gone.

I purchased a $500 Maytag dishwasher in Spring of 2008, believing the claims that they "Are Built Strong to Last". In January of 2009, the control panel stopped working and needed to be replaced and now in July of 2010 the door latch has broken.

Three years ago we heard that our dishwasher was recalled by Maytag. We had it replaced by one of their recommended service contractors at no cost to us. Now, I just found out that the replacement dishwasher is being recalled for exactly the same problem. The unit could catch fire because of too much nickle in the heating element. Interestingly, that was not why I had called the company. I was having a problem with the control panel of the unit. And, after much research online, found that the problem is quite common. The control panels are poorly designed and moisture from the dishwasher gets into the panel and fries the circuits.

Dishwasher purchased on April 2010. The water is pouring out from under the door.

My complaint is in regard to a Magtag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher, (model MDBH970AWW). I purchased the appliance from Home Depot in Nov. 2003. By the end of 2009, the dishwasher had ceased to clean the dishes, was very loud, and the handle of the dishwasher was broken for the second time. More surprisingly, beginning in 2007, the tines of both the upper and lower racks of the dishwasher were rusted though. The rusty tines were scratching and ruining my dishes. I contacted Maytag Customer Service.

In the fall of 2006, I purchased all Maytag appliances, total cost $2410.06, dishwasher $360, gas range $550, microwave $270 and fridge/freezer side by side $1105. The dishwasher has never worked properly. I've had 2 repairmen here as soon as it was purchased. According to them, there is nothing wrong. It has not worked at all since 2009.

I bought Maytag dishwasher in October 2009. Three days later, the appliance stopped working. Repairman came out and had to replace fuse inside dishwasher. A month later the same issue. They came and replaced it again. Now, we have moved on to a whole new experience. The water hose connection sprung a leak and has caused several thousand dollars in damage in the kitchen. Lost work time and customer service run around has me fit to be tied. I have asked them to take the dishwasher out of my home and give me my money back. I am waiting for insurance adjuster and the restoration company to get back to me on the damage cost.

I purchased a Maytag quiet series 300 model just 8 months ago. The cost was $650. There has been a recall on this dishwasher, with an offer of $150 rebate to purchase a new one (least expensive model is $540.00). This means it cost me $500 to use this dishwasher for only 8 months! This is a big inconvenience to have to be bothered with not being able to use the washer until I can get out and shop for another one and incur the extra expense of the new unit.

I bought a Maytag dishwasher 18 months ago from Boscov's department store. I paid $420.00. In the 18 months, it has already had one repair (didn't close right). I saw the news on TV that it is being recalled as it can catch fire. Naturally, my model is one of the recalls. When I called the company, the most they can offer me is they will repair it. I do not want or trust that. The other is they will give me $150.00 towards another Maytag and then, only certain models. That's big of them. I paid $420.00 18 months ago! They will give $250.00, only if you buy a Maytag priced over $700.00. I am willing to settle with the $250.00. That seems fair since my dishwasher is 18 months old, but I think I should be able to decide what I want to purchase with my money! I am willing to buy a product that is under the Maytag umbrella. I know that Whirlpool bought Maytag and makes the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, among others.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher in April 2010 from Sheely's in North Lima, OH. First ,after running approximately 1 hour, it tries to fill, but stops then starts and stops. It continued for 7 or 8 times. I finally open the door and restart it. It then finishes the wash. Second, I would like to inform the designer that this is difficult to load. The top tray will accommodate bowls and salad plates. Also, you cannot load it as well in my last Maytag. I had lots of room in that one. It was not a large one either, just better designed. I probably had it for 20 some years.

Our dishwasher which is a Maytag thought was top of the line company obviously not! We have had to have the fire co here at our home and continue to have problems with this same dishwasher. I have called them several times about how it begins smoking and is making extremely loud sounds. I was told it is out of warranty so we would have to pay for a service call and any repairs. We have every intention to have this dishwasher removed from our home ASAP and have it replaced. We will never ever purchase another Maytag/Whirlpool product. They do not stand behind their product. They will repair but at your cost. Cost is same as replacement bottom line. I would never recommend any product from Maytag/Whirlpool not the same company they were years ago. We asked to have it replaced by another because afraid to run it risking a fire and we were told out right not an option.

In 2006 or 07', I purchased a Maytag Dishwasher quiet series 200 Model#: MDB4651AWB SERIAL#: 10317350GV for about $275.00 if memory serves me right. It worked great for about 2 years, then started leaking water, I did not realize it for sometime until my brand new $1000 (for the damaged section) kitchen cabinets started to crumble. After noticing the damage, I removed the front floor panel to the dishwasher, ran it and saw the leak which was now able to pour onto the kitchen floor. I ran it with a pan for about six months before calling Maytag to find out about parts. I ordered a new lower door seal $5 or so.

I purchased three Maytag appliances all at the same time in 2006. I purchased one dishwasher, one range and one side-by-side refrigerator. The dishwasher leaks from the side. The range has rust on the stove portion due to the manufacturer's improper or lack of sealer under the burner grates. The side-by-side refrigerator was making abnormal noises. There was leaking water from the freezer due to the compressor overheating and a distinct awful smell occurred. Consequently, my refrigerator has quit working.

I purchased my Maytag quite series in November 2009 at Home Depot. They sent out one of their subcontractors (ADE) to install the dishwasher. They hardly spoke any English and didn't understand what they were supposed to do. They accomplished kinking the faucet's copper piping, causing it to break. They said they were done with the installation and left. However, they left the hot hose not connected to the main water line. They only connected the cold line. The water leaked all night under my cabinet and floor from the hole in the copper pipe. I called them the next day when I realized what had happened. They said they would not be able to come out till the following week because they were booked and were coming from San Jose.

I bought a Maytag dishwasher on 4/8/09 and it has been leaking. And after months of fooling with it, they figured it was the arm on the bottom, it separated. We have a Pergo floor and it has warped the floor and it is so upsetting to us. It looks terrible. I need to talk to someone about what can be done. Thank you.

I bought a Maytag Quiet Series 300 built in dishwasher just over two years ago. The racks have lost their coating, and are now rusting away. Nothing cuts through the plastic that was to protect the metal frame of the rack. As a matter of fact, there are several areas of the rack, where the plastic coating has now gone away. Dish racks will have to be replaced. They should last more than two years.

I contacted them to make them aware that I had a Maytag representative come to my house to confirm that I have a "hole" in my Dishwasher. I proceeded to ask them what I needed to do to proceed to fulfill my warranty. The warranty states on page 11 of the Users Guide Dishwasher: MDB that"Full Twenty-Year Warranty from the date of original purchase through the twentieth year, should the tub develop a water leak in normal home use, the dishwasher itself will be replaced free of charge.

I purchased a Maytag 24 in. built-in dishwasher in the Quiet 300 series on April 9, 2009. I used it once a week for 7 weeks without a problem. I went out of town for just over 4 months. Upon returning in October, I continued using the washer once a week. Today, the dishwasher stopped working. I have only been able to clean 20 loads of dishes since its installment date. It will be at least 2 weeks before the machine can be serviced under the warranty, and based on other customers' complaints, more time may pass before it is working again. Had this dishwasher been used once a day from the time it was installed, it would not have lasted even 3 weeks. The Maytag brand name should not be used a standard for quality.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher 5 years ago and have had to replace the top basket 3 times. All 3 times, the left side wheels have broken. The first time was only a year after purchase. This is the side that you load your glasses on. It is poor material used for something that has to carry a heavy load. I feel that I should not have to purchase parts to fix the problem. This is a poor design problem and needs to be fixed.

I purchased a dishwasher Model #MDBTT79AWB on 9/8/04. On 11/02/05, upper roller on rack broke. I called and requested they send me a total of (4) because these look like something that will continue to be a problem. She agreed and did. (These were about 5 cent parts to manufacturer.) Those 4 rollers lasted until 02/06/07 at which time I called to get more, either under a warranty because of a known problem or I'd pay for them. I was informed the rollers were no longer available. I must order an entire new rack with redesigned rollers for $128 plus tax and shipping or redesigned rack adjusters including rollers, but they were back-ordered.

I just built my new house, loaded it with new Maytag stainless steel appliances. The fridge leaked and needed repair. Oven would not fire lower oven. Dishwasher is out and no parts to repair it are available, even though it's only 8 months old. The front loading Whirlpool washing machine is now loose and knocking, so I'm fixing that myself at this time and hope it's just a loose bearing. It's only 6 months old. Good thing I kept my 10-year-old dryer. It's the only thing still working w/o problems. They are throw away, cheap bean counters, they design things to have a certain life span and they are falling short. I hope and pray the company fails. 100% failure rate is not the way to treat us little people. I can't have a 2% failure rate in my company or I go negative. Again, I hope the appliance company fails. I don't care.

On May 8, 2008, I purchased a Maytag dishwasher Model # MDB8601AWB. On June 29, 2009, I called the Maytag 800 number to report that the control panel on the dishwasher was not responding when touched. The service representative referred me to Matt's Appliance for service for my dishwasher and told me that Matt's would be in touch with me later on in the day to schedule an appointment. I didn't hear from Matt's for three hours, so I called them myself, explaining what the problem was.

I have a service contract which expires 6/30/10. The company informed me that I used the contract beyond what it will pay out. This dishwasher is two years old. It has never worked right. The seal keeps degrading, and black gets all over the dishes and the washer. I've had two control panels. Now the hose is also broken. When I purchased the contract, no one informed me about this ceiling on repair calls. This is my second Maytag in two years. The first was purchased new for our new home. It also had these same problems. I received a coupon from you class action suit and thought, ok, maybe I'll use it to purchase a new one and it's just this washer. Wrong! This product is terrible, and the contract people told me that they were sending me $144.00. I had no other options. Never again will I purchase another Maytag product.

My dishwasher just quit working overnight in August '09. I called my warranty service company listed above on 8/31 and spoke with Jennifer. She gave me claim # **. They referred me to a local provider, Cook's Appliance. They came out promptly on 9/3 and told me they didn't have the part I needed to fix my dishwasher and they should be able to get one within 7-10 days. Okay. Fourteen days later, I called Cook's because I hadn't heard anything from anyone. I was told my part was on factory backorder. I called the warranty provider again on 9/23 and spoke with Jim. He called Cooks and found out about the item being unavailable. Jim found out that the part was on factory backorder and I would have to wait 30 days for it to come in. On 10/3, I called again and they were closed. I called again on 10/5 and spoke with Bessie. She said she had to call Cook's again. They don't have it. OMG! What a waste of time.

I purchased the Quiet Series 200 mod#MDBH945AWS dishwasher in 2007. I had no dishwasher before so I had my cabinets custom-remodeled to fit this dishwasher. Everything worked great for about a year. After my warranty was up, it was like a switch flipped and the dishwasher quit working. The tech guide said it was the control board. I saved up to put a control board in (about a hundred dollars). I installed the control board and within a month, it went out again. I am really mad. And despite all of the problems and reviews on this model, Maytag doesn't have any kind of recall to address this issue.

We purchased a dishwasher for our new home 2 years ago. 2 months shy of having our Maytag dishwashers at 2-year point, it stopped working. We called Maytag and were connected with a local repair company that scheduled 3 weeks later. The repair company that Maytag had given us did not show up. At this point, we had been without a dishwasher for a month.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher on 8/14/2009. I had difficulty from the first with the options working, but thought I was not programming correctly. Then Labor Day weekend, it stopped working. Fawns came out that Tuesday stated that They needed to order a touchpad and control panel and it would be two days. I heard from them 3 days later, that the touchpad was back ordered until after the first of year and that the control panel would be a couple of weeks. I called Customer Service and they said that it would be sent to a review panel to see if it could be gotten sooner. I requested that the dishwasher be replaced. They said they do not do that. I told them the dishwasher was standing with dirty water, smelled and that it needed to be taken care of now. They told me to call Fawns.

We purchased our dishwasher from A1 Maytag on 3/7/2003. We've had several service calls to repair the dishwasher since then. The last service call on 7/8/2008, they had to put in a new pump and motor. I called on 9/11/09 because the dishwasher has started making a really loud noise and we've noticed that it is leaking. Maytag Service Center said that the repair costs have exceeded our purchase cost and that they will no longer repair the dishwasher. Our purchase price, as per Maytag, was $469.95 and she said the repairs to date have been $488.85. I thought that an Extended Service Policy purchased was to protect you in the event that service costs were costly. We are now finding that we have a dishwasher that has lasted less than 6 years and is a lemon. I will not buy a Maytag product or purchase an extended warranty from them again.

I had greasy spots on dishes. Maytag sent out a service tech who fixed the problem. The problem continued off and on for the next year. Because I'm a busy person and do not have time to hang on the automated phone system, I simply rewashed the load. Now after a few months, it seems the issue occurs every time I wash a load. So now I have to hand-wash. I think the dishwasher was defective from the beginning and should have been replaced. I will not have to purchase a new built-in dishwasher and pay a plumber to install it. I think Maytag should replace the unit. We are a two person family, so it was not wear and tear, etc. I tried all of their troubleshooting tips before I called for the first time.

Maytag model MDB7751AWB dishwasher (discontinued) was replaced with a model MDB7851AWB that has a manufacturing defect in its control panel. After 2 years, the electronics die. There is currently a 4-month wait for this part because so many of them have been replaced. All 28 warehouses in California are out of stock because once the new part is installed, it dies again in two years. At that point, the warranty is no longer valid because it's a 5-year parts warranty which starts when you purchase the dishwasher, not when they replace the part. I am requesting that Whirlpool provide me with the failure rate of this part on this model or provide me with the comparable dishwasher that they replaced this one with when they discontinued it (MDB7851AWB). I paid $569 plus tax for the dishwasher less than 2 years ago. I spent 6 hours on the phone with Maytag's parts department, customer service department, supervisor in customer service, authorized repair company and researching this problem on the internet. Another consequence is loss of wages.

This is my saga: I have a Maytag dishwasher: MDBH950AWW Serial # 12936916AT. Ava called me the week of June 8th from 866-640-7146 to arrange a voluntary replacement of the heating element because the engineers needed to test the heater. We arranged for a new part to be installed through the Advantage Appliance Repair shop in West Springfield, MA.

I received a notice for Maytag repair regarding the possible fire in the dishwasher. Maytag scheduled a repair tech. The tech replaced the door, and when done, water went into the tub but the dishwasher wouldn't run nor would it drain water out. The tech left, and I had to drain the tub myself. Maytag sent another tech with a control board, saying this should fix the problem. The tech replaced the control board, and there's no change. The dishwasher still would not run. He suggested another door kit. I said okay, but this is getting ridiculous.

I live in the middle of nowhere on a ranch. Water here is more precious than gold. Our closest Sears is about 140 miles away. They will not deliver to me. They will not install what we buy. We drove the distance there and back to get a new dishwasher. My husband installed it when he had time with the guidance of a licensed plumber, friend. An advice from my childhood has stuck in my mind: "Kenmore and/or Maytag are the best you can buy." Here I am, stuck with a piece of **, a Maytag dishwasher ordered through Sears. It should be illegal to take people’s money this way. This model was advertised to be quiet. Yeah, right. I keep thinking a train is about to come through the kitchen. When the detergent dispenser releases, it just sort of dribbles its contents. Dishes come out with coffee still in the cups, orange juice still in the glasses, grease still on the plates and flatware. Our water temp is high; water pressure is good. I really want to buy only those Made in America, but how naive I must be.

I bought a brand new Maytag in 2007. On 05/10/09, it stopped working. The authorized repairman came from Active Appliances out of Van Nuys, California and indicated that the circuit board was dead. The estimated cost of repair is $236.26 + $45.00 for the visit of the repair. The unit is worth $500. It is totally unacceptable as one would expect a quality dishwasher to pass in excess than 4 to 5 years being used routinely.

Maytag dishwasher model MDB7601AWW was purchased in July 2006. First of all, the thing was overpriced. It never did a very good job. Keypad worked for about as long as the 1-year warranty. Then, for the next year, it would work about every full moon or so. So the unit never did see much action, really. Finally, it just quit, a little over 2 years old, dead. I took it to the Maytag place I bought it from. It took them almost 2 months to "fix". I called Maytag and told them I wasn't too happy with their product and I would never buy another Maytag anything. They told me they would give me 50% off parts, as a "goodwill gesture." The unit was ready for pickup. I called Maytag to get the authorization number to get my discount and they told me they wouldn't do it! I said to her, "But you are the one who emailed me the offer?!"

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher (model MDBH965AWS) less than a month ago, and it does not clean the dishes. I had their service repairman out who said dishes only come clean if you use hot water. Well, I use hot water and it will not even remove spaghetti sauce from last night's dinner. I gave them a quick rinse and the silverware does not come clean. It's like the water never even touches the dishes. I am going back to Home Depot and demand a refund on this useless product.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher, model MDB6000 AWA, which was recalled in Dec. ‘07-Jan. ‘08 for: "Liquid rinse-aid can leak from the dispenser of certain Maytag brand dishwashers and come into contact with the dishwasher's internal wiring which can short-circuit and ignite, posing a fire hazard." I had already seen and smelled smoke coming from my dishwasher in Dec. 1995 before the recall. I called a repairman who said, “It sounds like it needs a new motor.” He ordered one, installed it, turned the dishwasher on and there was still "smoke and the odor of smoke". He took the door off and said the wiring was all burned and "repaired it with new wiring." He said it did not need a new motor.

Maytag issued a recall on their dishwashers because the rinse aid dispenser leaks onto the wiring harness, degrading the harness insulation. The leak comes in contact with the dishwasher's internal wiring which can short circuit and ignite posing a fire hazard.

On March 23, 2009, our Maytag dishwasher (model # MDB4100AWB) caught fire due to a wire harness short. Our cabinets were charred and a piece of flooring was ripped up because part of the unit was melted to the floor. When the fire department came, they cut the water line to remove the unit so I had $45 worth piping that I had to repair. I also have a $500 bill that I owe to the fire department. When I contacted Maytag (Whirlpool), they said the unit was under a recall, apologized and then offered me $125. Are you serious? We had a fire, damages, and all I asked was that the unit be replaced and the fire bill be covered. I was never notified of the recall and the unit was registered. I feel like a helpless victim of total negligence on their part.

I bought a Maytag dishwasher MDB8951BWS on 8/15/08. The control panel stopped working three months later. I called Maytag and they sent M&E Service out after 10 days. They found a failed touch panel and said they will order the part and it would be in 7-10 days. After 30 days, the part arrived then another week to install. Are Maytag products especially dishwashers unreliable? The previous dishwasher was also a Maytag and it also had a control panel/wiring harness problem/recall.

Washing machine not spinning, this is second service call in three years. Clothes do have mildew smell. Machine cost too much money to be having problems. Maytag acts like they're not aware of problems. This is THE SECOND MAYTAG WASHER MACHINE I PURCHASED IN SIX YEARS. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A LEMON, TURNS OUT THAT ALL MAYTAGS ARE LEMONS.

We bought our diswasher (mdb9600aws) on 3/1/04. three years later, at the same time, the latch didn't work and the control board and control panel didn't work. Iwasn't able to choose the wash cycle I needed. The service company came out, replaced the parts that were under warranty. 6 mths later, the same problem (except for the latch). Maytag told me that we'd have to pay again for the service co. to determine the problem. I told them it was the same thing.

I need to have my dishwasher replaced since the door and tub is now warped as a result of a problem that has been serviced 6 times over the last two year. Maytag claims they won't replace the unit since it's now in Extended Warranty. Since the problem started before the Extended Warranty was effective (clicking door was original problem), then I want a new unit.

We replaced our kitchen 2 1/2 years ago and spent over $5000.00 on maytag appliances. I just spent $300.00 for a new dishwasher motor that we spent $900.00 on. and on the same day, my range stopped heating up. That was another $1000.00 purchase. I will never purchase another maytag appliance and will complain to every website I can find about their poor quality.

We were innundated by Maytag's abusive and pressuring tactics to sign up for an extended warranty for a 'new' Maytag dishwasher and I inadvertently paid twice for it, 3 weeks apart. They never notified me, although they DID cash both checks promptly. In March, when I noticed the duplicate payment, I attempted to get one of the amounts back - I had no luck in getting them to admit to having a duplicate until I cancelled the extended warranty completely. THEN the 'fun' began.

We bought a new Maytag dishwasher and had it delivered on 8/8/08. When it was hooked up it leaked out the bottom. My husband checked and said it was coming from the middle of the tub underneath - not by any hose connections. We went back to Home Depot where we bought it and they called Maytag only to be told that Maytag would not take it back until they came and confirmed it was faulty. This was frustrating as now my husband had to take another vacation day to be home for the repairman to come, not to mention I was now in my second week without a dishwasher.

I been having problems my Neptune washer... The clothes stink after every wash and now it will not drain all the water out.. It keeps flashing nd...I have already had 1 repair person out to fix the lock on it that cost $280.00..

My Maytag dishwasher was part of a recall of Maytag machines that had gone on fire. There were more than 100 fires, some injuries and one fatality. Maytag sent a man here to replace the door and make the machine "SAFE". About a year later, in July 2008, the machine went on fire! Thankfully we were present and disconnected it.

Bought a Maytag dishwasher 2 1/2 years ago. Have had 7 service calls all for the control panel. Looking at 3rd total replacement . Have had actual use of machine about 1/2 the time we've owned it. Repairs have cost almost as much as the original purchase price.Have contacted Maytag numerous times. We are sitting in the review board's inbox waiting for a decision about whether they wil replace the machine at this point. This machine is an obvious lemon and while we have spent the equivalence of 2 new machines we don't have one working machine. They have no customer service!

2 year old dishwasher model no. MDB6601Awb control panel short ciruits. Replaced once along with the latch on the door. It has short circuited again after only 2 months.

I purchased a Model #MDB8551AWB Maytag dishwasher. I played a bloody fortune for it and it is not worth 2 cents. I have owed 3 dishwashers since 1950 and NEVER HAD SUCH A BAD ONE! I must wash the dishes before and after they have been in this thing for 2 hours! It is nasty down the sides of the container. What is my recorse? Personal frustration and excess work for me before and after I used this inferior product. I am 79 years old and figured that Maytag would be a reliable company. I have had this one only since 11/27/07

In 2005 we purchased a washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and a refrigerator from Lowe's in Sanford. These were all Maytag appliances and we have had problems with every one of them except the dryer.

We purchased a stainless steel dishwasher from Maytag (now Whirlpool) 2 years ago. Model #MDB9750AWS. From the beginning it didn't work well and often left the dishes dirty and greasy. We also arrived home several times to a large amount of water all over our kitchen floor after running the machine. Twice we had the same technician in who claimed the issue was with the seal on the door and that our water wasn't hot enough (a cop out to say the least). And twice they replaced the seal. Now how many times have you heard of a brand new dishwasher needing its seal changed in the first 2 years? NEVER!

My dishwasher worked just fine until the service company started working on it but now it doesn't work at all and hasn't for the past three months. Whenever I contact Maytag they simply refer me to another service company and say there is nothing more they can do. I have been patient and I have cooperated with Maytag in resolving this problem. I think that Maytag should take responsibility for putting my dishwasher out of service and replace it with a new one.

We've paid over $225.00 for repairs (plus one and a half days of vacation time) for a diswhasher less than three years old. MAytag agreed that we could fix it ourselves, then renigged when his foor was in the door and se=rice charges were already billed.

When we moved into our new home in 2002, I immediately replaced the builder's dishwasher with a Maytag. I had good luck with Maytag and Jenn Air in the past. The first problem was the front panel wouldn't work. The handle broke immediately. Since it was under warranty at that time, the front panel was replaced, approximately 5 times before we got one that worked. The handle was replaced twice. It has been broken for the past four years. I noticed over a year ago there were spotty problems when the dishes did not come out clean. Now the problem is constant. The dishes come out dirtier than when they went in. I'm so frustrated and can't afford to replace it.

June 30, 2006 I purchased top of the line Stainless Steel Maytag Dishwasher, Refridgerator, Microwave and Gas Range. In the first few days the Ice maker would not work on the fridge. I called the store, and they sent out a repairman. I was told that my water pressure from my RO was not enough to operate the Ice maker. Steaming mad at this point since I specifically asked this question to Kevin Haney prior to purchase, the store refused to take back the appliance. In the following thirty days I had 2 services out on the Ice maker which to date is still not resolved. It simply jams up, and according to two three different service technicians it is a design flaw. Sixty days after purchase the range oven would not heat properly; again a service technician came out and replaced a part.

In all I have not been able to use my dishwasher for over 30 to 40 days waiting for service between all 3 calls.Also I have missed days of work like I stated above.

For the recall of Maytag dishwashers, we cannot get Maytag to respond and repair our dishwasher. One department says the parts are on the way, and the complaints/escalation dept. says there is no order in place. Seems like Maytag is just lazy and cheap. That is why the repair men in their ads are never doing anything.

I received a recall notice for my Maytag dishwasher because of a defect which presented a fire hazard. My Maytag dishwasher blew up approx. 2 yrs. ago. The company is insisting I provide the serial number of the appliance to them; I don't have it because the machine was hauled off after the fire.

In May 2005, I purchased a Maytag Dish Washer. By September it had broken 3 or 4 times, and I was on the phone for over a month with customer service. I asked for another one, and was told they did not replace them, only fixed them. I finally got a manager, who agreed to replace it, which they did. By October 2006, it happened again - the same problem. They came over and looked at it, and again had to order the part, which is why they came more than 1 time. They fixed it and again in October of 2007 it happened again, and when the Tech came over, he said that if the touch pad gets wet it shorts out, which I found unbelievable, because it is a DishWasher, and it deals with water. They ordered the parts, and it took about 2 weeks to get them. They (different Tech came out) repaired it and I asked about the pad getting wet, and this Tech said the same thing. I don't know at this point what I can do. I do have a 3 year extended warranty on it, and am glad I did have that. I believe the washer cost me somewhere between $500 and $800 and I will never buy another Maytag product again. I also purchased a Jenn Aire from the same people, also owned by the people who make Maytag..and I am not happy with that either, but at least it cooks, even though the bottom panel is falling off, and my warranty does not cover that.

I received a Recall letter from Maytag stating. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Maytag Corp. has voluntarily recalled 2.3 million Maytag and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers due to fire hazard. Liquid rinse-aid can leak from its dispenser and come into contact with the dishwasher's internal wiring, which can short-circuit and ignite, posing a fire hazard.

Wanting to retire with good quality appliances in our new home we furnished it with MayTag washer, dryer, dishwasher, microwaave and refrigerator. We thought we would have years of carefree service without repair bills. What a joke. In less than three years we have had over $800.00 of repair bills and much more to come. The built-in mocrowave died after only 16 months, the dishwasher is broke, the washer is making strange noises and the refrigerator has been repaired recently only to last three weeks before the compressor went out. I have been without it for a week and can't get it fixed for another two. I would really like to throw something at the television when the MayTag lonely repairman comes on.

I purchased a new Maytag dishwasher in 2003. It never worked properly. There was always water left in the bottom of the pan and the top dishes never seemed to clean properly. Recently the unit completely stopped. I called maytag and they gave me the number of A&E Factory service. I set up an appointment for the next morning appointment. The night before I received a recorded message on my telephone repeating my time of appointment between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm.

I bought a Maytag JetClean series dishwasher in 2005 for about $600. Almost two years later, to the date, I am forced to pay $200 to replace the adjustable middle rack because the two small pieces on which the rack slides in and out along the rails have failed.

I bought a Maytag dishwasher in 2004. Two years later the element in the door is leaking.

Our dishwasher's motor failed after approximately 3 1/2 years use. There are only two people in household. $290-$295 for new washer motor assembly and new door latch assembly, plus I rec'd $65 bill for labor to diagnose problem.

I spent around $210 in the past 8 months on trying to repair the dishwasher , and am finally giving up and buying a new one.

In June 2005 we purchased a Maytag dishwasher, model #MDBH965AWQ. Had approximately three visits the first year. The wheels that held the upper rack in place kept breaking. In June 2006 purchased extended warranty (Maytag Dependability Plus). Had more visits for the upper rack. Maytag finally re-designed the mechanism, originally it was plastic, and now is metal.

My dishwasher was part of the Maytag recall. On March 5th I received a letter said that the part was sent. After numerous calls the part was actually sent and installed on May 5th. In the process the control panel was broken. That part has been ordered twice. Per discussion with Maytag employee in parts department on May 31, the control panels are on backorder and will not be available until mid July.

I bought 5 Maytag appliances in 2003 and the extended warranty on all the appliances. I am having problems with the fridge, dishwasher and washing machine; the dishwasher is the 3 rack one. I don't use the third rack as my dishes don't come clean. Have had it repaired 3 times. Water leaks from the freezer seal on my fridge. They say that is normal. I have the Neptune front loading machine and my towels stink really badly. They say to run bleach through, wash around the seal take the light out and leave the door open. Maytag appliances are not made like they used to and I will never buy these products again as I have not had any self satisfaction in receiving good working appliances that I paid for.

I bought a Maytag Dishwasher and Maytag Neptune Laundry Machine. My mom had Maytag machines for 20 plus years and I never knew of a problem. We moved to a new house and I bought some new appliances shortly there after. Maytag seemed like a good choice at the time. I wish I had done the research at that time. We bought the top of the line in both the Laundry and Dishwasher lines. I do not need to tell you about the Neptune nightmare.

I purchased a Maytag Dishwasher on May 29, 2006. After using the dishwasher for awhile I noticed that there was food left in the bottom of the dishwasher.

I replaced a 20-year old (w/no problems) KitchenAid dishwasher with a $500 Maytag series 100. No matter what detergent or rinse-aid I use (even though KitchenAid said I could use anything), dishes are spotty and not clean. I have used every cycle and still get bad results.

My Maytag dishwasher, purchased in Oct of 1999, burned. Luckly the circuit breaker tripped and the fire went out on its own. The dishwasher was destroyed and small damage was done to the counter top.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher model number MDB8600AWB just over a year ago. The dishwasher has never worked. The dishes are often dirtier when they come out then when they went in. I must wash the dishes before and after use of the dishwasher. With this same complaint, I have had four service calls with various items replaced, no change in the original problem.

I requested service on my 20-year-old Maytag dishwasher. Three days later the repairman came. He said two parts could be at fault but couldn't narrow it to one. We had to order both to be covered for the problem. When the parts arrived there was another three-day delay before he installed them. One of the new parts, the timer, was defective. He had to order another timer. When it came we were told the earliest appointment was six days in the future. Despite bringing a defective part previously and despite complaints to corporate consumer affairs at Maytag they would not set an earlier date. This is NOT an example of good service so I wish you would take this company off your list of responsive companies.

I purchased a Maytag dishwasher locally on January 25, 2001. On April 16, 2001 (2 1/2 months later), it died. Since it was under warranty, I called an appliance repair company. They came out, called Maytag and were told to order and replace the motor. A week later, they did that. It didn't work. They were told to order and replace the control panel. A week later, they did that. It still doesn't work.
