What Makes Maytag Dishwasher Repairs Different
Maytag dishwashers use either a hard food disposer (a chopper needing no upkeep) or a bottom filter that is quiet but must be cleaned by hand, and some models have a triple filter with upper and lower assemblies. Source: Maytag - Dishwasher Hard Food Disposer or Filtration
Some models have a Leak Identification System that detects most leaks, stops filling, drains the tub and alerts the owner that service is needed. Source: Maytag - Dishwashers and Compactors
Common Maytag Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not draining. Maytag says to cut power, bail out standing water, then remove and rinse the filters and check the sump for debris before moving on to the drain hose, disposer knockout plug and air gap. Source: Maytag - Dishwasher Not Draining
- Dishwasher leaking. Find where the leak starts, then level the unit so the door closes squarely, clear the filter and drain path, and confirm only dishwasher detergent is used. Source: Maytag - Dishwasher Leaking Troubleshooting Guide
