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.


Finally, some good news.
The Whirlpool/Maytag people called me this afternoon and said I was getting
a new dishwasher, as they couldn't supply a replacement control board.
We get to pick from two similar models roughly equal to our original model.
(one Maytag and one a Whirlpool)
Only downside... no warranty on the new unit unless we buy one from a 3rd
party supplier. Should arrive in 8-10 days and included free installation.
