- Features
- Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
- Operating Sound Level: 48 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room. Choose from Not as Quiet (56 dBA or higher. You'll likely need to raise your voice); Quiet (50-55 dBA. Need to raise your voice slightly); Very Quiet (43-49 dBA.

Maytag builds a strong dishwasher with fingerprint resistant stainless steel. The Long PowerDry option decreases humidity in the tub for 60% better drying without using rinse aid. We've also thrown in the most powerful dishwasher motor on the market, a 4-blade stainless steel chopper and third level rack. Plus, we back what we've built with a 10-year limited parts warranty.
- Most powerful motor on the market: Maytag dishwashers feature the most powerful motor on the market. Powerful enough to handle dried-on egg yolk and peanut butter without prerinsing, this motor can handle your dirtiest dishes.
- 4-Blade stainless steel chopper: No more scraping plates. The 4-blade stainless steel chopper disintegrates the food particles that come off your dishes so they don't end up recirculating and sticking to your dishes and glassware.
- PowerBlast cycle: The PowerBlast cycle removes stuck-on food with high pressure spray jets, increased temperature and hot steam to finish the job.
- Long PowerDry option: Run the Long PowerDry option for decreased humidity and 60% better drying without using rinse aid. (Normal cycle; model MDB8989SH versus best drying performance on Maytag 2018 models MDB4949SH, MDB7959SH and MDB7979SH.)
- Short PowerDry option: Amp up the drying power in less time. Get decreased humidity and 40% better drying without using rinse aid. (Normal cycle; model MDB8989SH versus best drying performance on Maytag 2018 models MDB4949SH, MDB7959SH and MDB7979SH.)
- Touch controls: You're in control with a simple tap of your finger. Smooth, tap-to-activate settings give you quick and seamless access to powerful cleaning.
- 3rd level rack with adjustable tray: Get 30% more loading space with the 3rd level rack. Remove and rotate the integrated lift & set adjustable tray for increased third-level space for small bowls or lids. (Compared to Maytag dishwashers without a third level rack.)
- Fingerprint resistant stainless steel: Easy-to-clean, fingerprint resistant stainless steel helps prevent smudges and keeps your dishwasher looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.
- Industry-exclusive stainless steel silverware basket: With roomy spaces on the ends for oddly shaped items like large spatulas and serving spoons, our industry-exclusive stainless steel silverware basket is built tough to handle whatever you throw at it.
- Quiet at only 48 dBA: This dishwasher is made to perform at only 48 dBA, so you can enjoy the cleaning power of a mighty Maytag at a low noise level. (Per IEC standards.)
- 10-year limited parts warranty: Maytag dishwashers are covered by a 10-year limited parts warranty on the racks, chopper blade and stainless steel tub. So when we say you can count on your dishwasher for years, we mean it. (See warranty for complete details.)
- Premium ball-bearing rack glides: Our premium ball-bearing rack glides give the upper rack a glide so smooth you can pull it out even when you're hauling an armload of bowls, or when the rack's lugging your heaviest dishes and baking pans.
- Built for the long haul: We packed in sturdy stainless steel that's ready for cycle after cycle of tough cleaning. Built for high heat and less likely to crack than plastic, stainless steel materials also resist stains to help keep your dishwasher looking good for years to come.
- Steam sanitize option: The Steam sanitize option lets you confidently wash important items with a high-temperature rinse that removes 99.999% of food soil bacteria.
- Full stainless steel tub: The full stainless steel tub is built of stainless steel from top to bottom, so it's tough enough to handle high heat and resist cracking and staining for years.
- 2x life tested motor: Our 2x life tested motor is built to last and tested to prove it. (Twice life testing based on accelerated 20-year life testing, normal cycle, average use.)
- Premium DuraGuard nylon racks: Premium DuraGuard nylon racks have a heavy-duty coating that resists rust.
- End-of-cycle indicator: The end-of-cycle indicator lets you know exactly where the dishwasher is in the wash cycle: when it's in process, when it's finished and when the Steam Sanitize option is in use.
- ENERGY STAR certified: ENERGY STAR certified dishwashers use less water and energy than standard models, helping you save money on utility bills.

Q: How long does the "Quick" Wash cycle take?
A: It takes one hour
Q: Do you have to rinse the plates before running the dishwasher?
A: I have only had mine a few days, but I have not needed to rinse the plates before running the dishwasher. They have come out fine.
A: I would call about that. When I purchased my Maytag it took 3 times to get one that didn't have a problem but I am very happy with it now.
Q: What is the cycle length of a normal cycle? How well does it dry plastic dishes?
A: The normal washing cycle runs approximately 2 hours in our dishwasher. It does clean well and dries plastic dishes in the short power dry setting. I have not used any other setting (it has 2 more for drying)
Q: What is this item I have circled in the picture? And what is it’s function?
A: I just found out it is A guard clip for the soap dispenser
Q: Do the tines in the lower basket flip down? It say’s “adjustable.” What does that mean?
