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.


I purchased and installed a Bosch dishwasher a year or so ago, replacing the
builders *upgrade* GE model. I do not recall the model number but it was a
'recommended' unit by Consumers Report.

There was no comparison with noise........we can run our Bosch during the
day and no one can tell that it is running. The GE, even the upgrade model,
was quite noisy. Cleaning was comparible.

On the plus side for our GE unit.......it ran flawlessly for 13 or so years.


That's because your GE was of the vintage I remember, when they were
quality goods.
