How Maytag Dishwashers Are Built
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
