Thank's. I'm a winner! Too bad I don't get a new dishwasher for free.


The recall does seem to be a little too gentle on Maytag, doesn't it?
$75 off of a new Maytag? That actually PAYS them for screwing up. The
in-home repair is the way to go. While the Maytag repairman is fixing
your dishwasher, snatch his wallet!


I guess the Maytag repairman won't be lonely for a while.

I tried calling the recall hotline, what a joke. You enter your model
number and serial number, then they transfer you. I waited for one hour
on hold, and no one picked up. I called again, and finally got someone,
who told me that they had technical problems and to call back tonight,
or to go use the website. If you go to the website, you enter all your
information, and at the end they tell you "The Online Schedule Service
Application is currently unavailable. Please call the Maytag Recall Team
at 1-800-675-0794 Monday-Friday, between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. EST for
assistance."

Time for a class action lawsuit.
