Poor motor and pump!

jjma 6/5/2026

Dishwasher is very quiet and worked well. However, just coming on 2 years, we experience a grinding noise when the dishwasher is running. Had a certified appliance repair out and he assessed that the pump and motor need to be replaced, at a cost of over $400 and guess what, the pump and motor are not under warranty! This machine is just coming on it's second birthday, that's way too soon for major failure like that!! Very disappointed with our purchase!!

Overly complicated to install including a garden h

Honest reviewer! 12/25/2025

Overly difficult to install. 1. Requires a 90 degree garden hose connection for the water supply that is not included requiring a return trip to the store. Maytag should put a list of required non-included parts on the outside of the box. 2. Garden hose connectors are extremely prone to leaking. This was a terrible design flaw basically to save a few cents in manufacturing.costs. 3. Insulation is not fastened to the unit and must be taped down before installation. 4. Plastic feet cannot be adjusted after unit is in place. This is a real problem if you have tile flooring fronting the unit. 5. Institutions are overly confusing; 30 pages for installing a dishwasher ridiculous! 6. The door springs will probably need adjustment after installation requiring removal again to do it. 7. The extra large tub with 3 racks doesn™€™t really hold more dishes than a 2 rack unit. Just.made installation more difficult.

I specifically like the thin top rack

Cat55 10/6/2025

We needed a new dishwasher and after settling on this purchase, I am very happy I did. We got black to match our other Appliances and it has two pullout drawers with a thin shelf on top and I like that really well. And the best part is, it is the quietest dishwasher I™€™ve ever used you can™€™t hear it start and you can™€™t hear it running. So I don™€™t feel guilty starting it at 9:30 or 10 o™€™clock at night

Super quiet.Super clean & dry

Susan BU 10/6/2025

Love this dishwasher. It is so quiet. My old one was like a freight train. This one also cleans and dryers everything very well. Third rack is a nice addition. The interior is super roomy and can hold big pots in bottom and coffee pot on second rack. I like that second rack is adjustable as needed and also has 2 levels in coordination with the lever adjustment. All in all an excellent machine and you won™€™t be disappointed.

Richeryl 8/28/2025

We bought this over a month ago. Our other dishwasher didn't get the dishes clean and only cried them half the time, tried everything, detergents, cleaned filter nothing worked, thought it was our hard water. Finally a friend was telling me about her Maytag. So we decided to get one. BEST DECISION EVER!! Now my dishes are clean and dry.

Poor Quality Control

Buck007 7/24/2025

It leaked. Turns out that the glides for the top rack were broken and allowed water to drip down the sides of the dishwasher. Quality control is a bad joke for not catching this defect. Washing dishing by hand for 3 weeks before it can be fixed.. Need to have the connection for the drain not be on the side. This causes the dishwasher to almost not fit and not saying anything about is a bad idea depending on which side it connects to the sink.. Maytag used to be the top of the line - not any more, you still pay top dollar for the dishwasher..

Penny67 7/15/2025

If I could rate zero I would. I have spent waiting hours of my life on hold to get a human being. Finally got a repairman to come and said I needed a different hose. Did that. Another $130 to have him come plus the part. That did not work as I assumed in the beginning. No idea what to do now with $1000 invested in this piece of junk.

Broken dishwasher

Triciamk 7/1/2025

This was the 2nd of this model that we owned. The first one broke and we purchased the same one-I wanted it for the look of it. The 2nd one last only a couple of years before breaking. I called about warranty but unfortunately they had no one in my area to look at it and were supposed to find someone and call me back. Never did return my call. I got tired of waiting, so we purchased another dishwasher. I could not trust this brand dishwasher nor customer service or warranty, so we went with a different brand

Disappointed with service

AKS in DC 6/24/2025

I was so happy with this dishwasher and how well it worked for the first 4 months i owned it. But then, the seal on the controls split and allowed moisture in, making it inoperable. I was happy it was under warrantee, but it took over a week for the first service call and more than a month for the part to arrive and then another two weeks for it to be installed, so I have had a dead dishwasher in my kitchen for almost three months. Very disappointed with the vaunted Maytag service.
