| bknbknbkn's Full Review: Maytag MDB7600A Jetclean® II 24 in. Built-in ... |
We bought this dishwasher thinking that since it's toward the top of the line, it would last a long time.
When we first got it, it made a terrible racket. My wife said the manual stated it would make some noise due to the built in garbage disposal. However, I didn't think it sounded right, so I stopped in the store we bought it from, and the salesman said it shouldn't be loud, so they sent someone out. Turns out the handle from the rinse aid dispenser cap was broken off and in the pump or disposal. The repair person removed it and brought out a new cap (and claimed the plastic piece didn't do any other damage - right).
About 3 months later, the soap dispenser door stopped opening. I removed the door panel and found that the wiring clip had fallen off. Simple fix.
After our warranty expired, we noticed that the bottom rack had a huge (3/4") rust blowout right behind the utensil tray (not a place where anything would come in contact with it), and also several of the "fingers" on the rack were starting to rust where they attach to the rack (we don't bend the fingers, looks like just a very thin coating).
Now, at about 1.5 years old, the touch panel is no longer working, so we are currently doing dishes by hand since we can't start it. I thought maybe the door closed switches weren't working, but both seem to be fine. Must be another problem. Based on what I've read in other reviews, calling Maytag at this point doesn't sound promising.
The really disappointing thing is that we have an Amana washer and dryer set and a Whirlpool refrigerator that we bought 11 years ago and are still going strong. We figured a new dishwasher would last at least 5 years. I guess that's not the case with Maytag!
