Maytag MDB7600A Jetclean® II 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

Pros: It's quiet.
Cons: Runs for 2 hours, redeposits food, breaks upper rack wheels, bottom rack tips out.

Well, were do I start?     We bought this lemon of a dishwasher from Sears a few years ago. The first one was a floor model that leaked and had to be replaced immediately upon installation. (motor seal broken) The one we have now has ...

Pros: Fully digital, control lock, great cleaning
Cons: None.

I used to own a GE dishwasher, which was only 5 years old at the time it quit working. We decided to try another brand of dishwasher, and went with a Maytag.

This dishwasher is truly THE BEST I've seen! It cleans like a dream, is fully digital, and was super-easy to install. The food disposer and adjustable rack make it easy to clean any type of dish, regardless of size or caking.

The noise level is actually quieter than the GE was, the loud draining is completely quieted, with only a slight hum being generated by the food disposer. The washing cycles do generate noise, but not anything to really worry about. The cleaning ability of this dishwasher more than makes up for any noise that may be heard.

Plus, there's a control locking mechanism to keep the toddlers from pressing the buttons.

All I can say is... buy this one!

Pros: Reasonably quiet, cleans well, energy efficient, loading flexibility
Cons: Not inexpensive (at least in Canada)

We just had a Maytag MDB7600 AWW installed a week ago. This dishwasher replaces a 10-year-old Frigidaire, which was noisy, leaking, and generally on it's last leg.

I spent 3 months researching dishwashers and convincing my husband that the leaky lame one needed to be jettisoned out the nearest air lock, before purchasing this model. My first choice was a Whirlpool 2300 stainless interior model however it was about $200 more and a recent partial home reno. went well over budget so to save several more months of "convincing" my husband that we really needed to find a replacement, I found something I thought would do almost as well but was less expensive.

So far, we are very happy with our purchase. It's quiet, although not silent; it's definitely quieter than the old Frigidaire. It cleans well and is quite energy efficient for a North American model. It also takes a lot less detergent to get the dishes clean. Another plus is that this is a tall tub unit. This style definitely holds more in a load. The only thing that I wish it had is a stainless steel interior.

Pros: Cleans everything well
Cons: none

We bought our Maytag a few weeks ago. It is the best dishwasher we have ever owned. It even cleans pans. we were always having to wash out the inside of coffee and tea cups as the stains never came out in the dishwasher. Not anymore. This dishwasher really cleans. It is also quieter than our old dishwasher. The heavy duty cycle is a little long, but who cares if all the dishes are clean when it is done. The last dishwasher we owned was a terrible disappointment and we were replacing it after only 3 years. I decided to leave a review as I found the epinion reviews very helpful in helping us choose a dishwasher. There as so many choses on the market today and an appliance is a big expense.

Pros: Cleans well.
Cons: Leaked fresh out of the box.

Installed the washer on a Saturday. Ran the "test cycle" to check for leaks and it did not leak at the plumbing hookups, IT LEAKED FROM THE TUB!.

Called the store where purchased, no service until Monday.

Called the Maytag Service number, no one there.

No troubleshooting in the manual to fix this.

Finally figured it must be leaking from the gasket between the motor and the tub and tightened the screws in the bottom of the tub. No more leak.

Ran a load of dishes and it cleans well.

Pros: Problem solved
Cons: Problem solved

Maytag has a fine screen above the motor and it is prone to getting mucked up. I used a product called Lemi-Shine and it removed all excess detergent and even clean the heater element. I have used CLR in the past and it did not work. This product can be used with your dishes or you can run it empty to do deep cleaning. You may have to do several applications. It is a citris acid based crystal in a bottle. You can get it at Fry's or oder it online. It took me 2 years to figure out this problem. Other dishwashers do have this screen design so it probably is less prone on other makes.

Pros: Cleans great. Very flexible loading design. Roomy interior.
Cons: Leaks from behind the door panel and under the float. Noisy at times.

After researching in Consumer Reports and on Epinions we bought this dishwasher because of the great reviews and because we loved our old MAYTAG dishwasher. This dishwasher also loads very well. It is more versatile in the loading patterns than any other dishwasher. However, the dishwasher leaked from two spots right off the bat. There was a small drip from under the float in the front right of the dishwasher. There was also a leak from behind the front door panel, between the tub and insulation! We could only guess that it was leaking from around the soap dispenser. The service man tightened things but it still leaked. The store replaced it with a new model. The new one has the same two leaks! This time soapy water is dripping out from behind the door. If the store will take it back, I am buying a different brand. It's a shame, because it cleans great and I always loved the brand. Save yourself the hassle and buy something else.

Pros: I love the way this dishwasher is laid out.
Cons: Motor went bad after 3 months!

We purchased, what we thought, was a GREAT dishwasher three months ago. Actually spent the extra money to buy from a local Dealer. The repairman just left and the motor is out and will need replacing!
3 Months Old!
The local Maytag dealer will REPLACE the motor.
If I had bought this at Lowes or Home Depot, I would have the option of replacing with the same brand or for a NEW BRAND without having REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Lesson learned - Don't buy from your local dealer and I wouldn't recommend Maytag either!
But, I must say.....the Maytag Repairman was VERY NICE!

Pros: None
Cons: Noisy, does not clean, expensive

I purchased a Maytag MDB7600 dishwasher two months ago. It has been a piece of junk since the day I purchased it. I was told it would be as quiet as a Bosch (no way). This thing makes more noise then my 10 year old dishwasher I replaced and it costs twice as much. It leaves dirty water on the bottom of the tub after every wash and the interior is now stained a bright red from the food that it is trying to clean. Now after only two months the unit won't even turn on. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of Maytag dishwasher.

Pros: It is quiet
Cons: Too many to count

Where do I begin? We have had pieces break on this dishwasher at least five times. We have had the repairman here 3 times. This thing is very cheaply made. I bought this thinking it would last 7-10 years. I should have just kept the one I had. It was loud but worked and never had a broken part in 12 years. The design of this is very poor also. You can only load plates on one side of the bottom rack. I would suggest that you look for another brand or you will spend your time dealing with their customer service dept.

Pros: At this point we can't think of anything positive to say about this dishwasher.
Cons: Very disappointed with dishwasher and Maytag. Repair parts on backorder???

Purchased new 3/4/04, paid $512.53. Failed 3/12/04. Maytag responded 3/13/04. Found defective motor, circuit board and capacitor. Motor & board on back order. Will attempt to return for exchange for another brand. Buyer beware.

Pros: After every cleaning of the metal screen, it works nicely ... for a while.
Cons: Metal screen in the recirculating filter is just a pain!

Even though we rinse off our dishes, I have to clean the round metal filter inside the recirculating filter assembly at the base of the tub.

It takes about 1/2 an hour to remove the lower wash arm, remove about 8 or 9 torx screws, take out a couple of plastic assemblies, scrape off gunk from the round metal filter and reassemble the parts.

It seems to me that this represents a real design flaw, as otherwise the cleaning quality of the dishwasher deteriorates.

Pros: Good price for a Maytag I thought.
Cons: Door latch broke - can't open dishwasher now.

I bought this dishwasher in March 2004 since it was determined to be a 'best buy' according to Consumer Reports.
Previous unit was a Whirlpool and I would say that was a better model.

Pros: When It Works It Will Sometimes Clean The Dishes
Cons: Noisy, Top Rack Very Weak And Has Already Broken

I Recommend that everyone skip looking at Maytag. Bad News. Service Department I Rude And Useless. Top Rack Has Broken. Very Noisy. Does Not Clean.

Pros: shiny & purty
Cons: the rudest, most incompetent service in memory.

i bought this dishwasher about a year ago. it has been broken for about 2 months, and neither "maytag service" (regular warranty) or "maytag dependability" (extended warranty) appears to want to do anything about it. since it initially broke on april 7th 2005 . . . i have had:

1 - 4 service calls
2 - serviceman tells me its the installers fault from a year ago
3 - next serviceman tells me it's the previous serviceman's fault
4 - next serviceman says the previous serviceman failed to reinstall parts, and it can't be fixed at all
5 - today's serviceman says he will order parts, made no commitment on when he will return to fix it.

it's always 8-12 days before they can schedule a service visit, the serviceman is invariable ignorant and rude, and the telephone people transfer you endlessly, can't decipher the previous repair comments, and act like they couldn't care less.

this has to be the most incompetent service organization on the planet.
