Default OT Dishwasher recall

Anyone else here unlucky enough to be involved in that Maytag dishwasher
recall?
We received the kit and had it installed on May 14, but from that point on
the unit is dead as a doorknob.
Appears that the controlboard goes south after the old wiring harness is
removed and you have to wait for a new one to be manufactured & shipped from
who knows where. It's been 8 weeks now and the wife has collared me for dish
drying by hand for the last 6.
We're both getting fed up..and to make matters worse, you have to deal with
a call center who e-mail Maytag..who ignore the e-mails.
Sure do miss the good old days where that 'dog faced' repairman was just
hanging around looking for something to break so he'd have work to do.




We got tired of having our three year old GE dishwasher repaired. We got
tired of waiting for parts and tired of waiting for the repairdude. So,
last year, even though it was still under extended warranty, I ripped it
out and bought a DW Bosch private labels for Sears. I've been so pleased
with it I bought another just like it for my office kitchenette.

The GE was made in Mexico. We're beginning to see a backlash against
crap foreign products coming from there and from China. Too bad we got
rid of our ability to manufacture here.
