I am having a problem with a Maytag dishwasher. It is covered by a
Maytag extended warranty. It failed on December 22, 2011. It is
still not fixed because the needed part is on backorder until
February 15, 2012.

I am VERY disabled with ME, (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) Hashimoto's
thyroiditis, neurally mediated hypotension, and orthostatic
intolerance. Washing dishes by hand is very difficult for me.

What is the best way for me to contact someone high up in Maytag who
might be able to do something? Thank you in advance for all
replies.

After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few
seconds to several minutes. His favorite are the ones that
rattle. He'll play with any ball that makes noise.

You will have to talk to someone in Benton Harbor, MI about your
problem. They own Maytag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlpool_Corp.

You can start with their customer service, but then you have to work
up to a supervisor and then a manager, etc. Otherwise, you'd have to
go to corporate headquarters. If you can find out a name of a VP you
may have some luck.

Do you know what the part number is? Chances are it is out of stock
from the local parts depot and the factory, but it may be possible
that the part is sitting in a warehouse in some other part of the
country, or some service tech's van. Someone like repairclinic.com
may have it. It may be common to another brand also. You have to
find someone willing to track it down.

Just curious, which appliance superstore did you buy the dishwasher
extended warranty from? Sears, Best Buy, Lowe's, Home Depot?

This situation is why I never never never never never buy ANY extended
warranty from anyone. Once the retailer has your extended warranty
money, you are at THEIR mercy as to how and WHEN the product will be
repaired. That is never acceptable to me.

You didn't mention which part you need but maybe with a little searching
on the net and Visa card in hand, you might find the part you need and
have it in a day or two.

Looking for the part online would at least be a very
interesting excercise. If you find it, then you can call
up the retailer you got the warranty from and lean on
them because the part is available.

Hell, get the model number and the part number and post it here. There
are plenty of us that have nothing better to do than to find a source
for you. Seriously! This group is all about helping others (well when
we aren't arguing about other stuff).

Motion made, and seconded.

I'd call my parts house, and check for the OP.

The backordered part is W10218837

http://www.appliancepartspros.com/Ap...?pn_=W10218837

The dishwasher model MDB6701AWWW3. My brother says that he has
checked several online sources and it is backordered at all of them.

We bought the warranty from Maytag because it failed just before the
one year factory warranty expired.
