Features
  • Dual power filtration

    Skip soaking, scrubbing and pre-rinsing with Maytag engineering that puts an end to pre-work. Industry-exclusive Dual Power Filtration combines 100% microfiltration and a 4-blade stainless steel chopper to filter out then dispose of any food in its path.

  • 3rd level rack

    Put more utensils in the Maytag 3rd level rack. With a specialized wash zone and room for mugs and bowls, this distinct design brings more loading space and cleaning power straight to the top of the dishwasher.

  • PowerBlast cycle

    The PowerBlast cycle scours away stubborn foods, such as egg yolk, peanut butter, and even dried-on oatmeal. High-pressure jets, increased water temperatures, and hot steam work together to clear food off dishes, so all you have to do is load them in.

  • 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.

  • Long Heated Dry option

    Up the temperature with an internal heater to reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher. The Long Heated Dry option gets large loads of dishes nice and dry.

  • Short Heated Dry option

    Reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher, and get smaller loads of dishes nice and dry in less time.

  • Leak Detect

    The Leak Detect system is a combination of multiple features that measure and monitor the flow of water at various points. If a problem is sensed, the unit can take action by draining the tub and alerting you when necessary.

  • 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.

  • Sani Rinse option

    The Sani Rinse 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.

    An Amazing Dishwasher!

    After returning lemon GE DW we went with this Maytag. My dh & I both had the $1200 Bosch when we combined our households. The Bosch racks are not user friendly & we both had repairs and poor washing experience. My Fisher Pykel was worse. I wasn't thrilled about having a "low end" Maytag in my kitchen. Boy was I wrong! This is a work horse with a third rack (see picture.) We are both cooks & use tons of greasy dishes & silverware daily. We've never used the heavy duty cycle; haven't needed to. Everything is sparkling. It's super quiet & the third rack allows so much capacity. Mid-range cost with top tier (lol, 3 tiers) performance! Six months & not one complaint. Love this dishwasher!

    Support Maytag!

    our home originally had a 20 yr old maytag dishwasher in it when we moved in almost 4 yrs ago..fast forward a yr or so later we decided to purchase a Samsung 5650 disher which was discontinued after we purchased it and was a nightmare for entire time we owned it of almost 2 yrs..finally was granted a replacent and was in search of new one.. After doing some homework and looking at dishwashers at local retailer near us my daughter had pointed out a kitchen aide model that looked really good..unpon doing comparisons and who made what..decided on this dishwasher because of it functions and cleaning capability...it happened to be same model as kitchen aide priced $250 more and made at same place in Ohio as kitchen aide n whirlpool just with the lower price tag n maytagvname to it.. THIS DISHWASHER IS SUPER QUITE! Cleans well n efficiently n has a ton of space to cut down on amount of times you have to run ur machine each week..Dishes n silverware come out sparkling clean no residue left behind..hubby n i are super happy with replacement purchase n hubby said i did my homework well.. Whirlpool makes Maytag n Kitchen Aide as well their own brand of whirlpool dishwashers and are all rated amongst top 10 of consumers picks for dishwashers on youtube..remember to support the men n women who build these appliances for us proudly here in the USA.. Very Very pleased with purchase!!!

    Fabulous!!!! Pictures show dirty dishes but...

    Fabulous. I was worried it might get stinky if I only run it when full; living alone that can be up to 9 days between washing. No smells ever! I never believed dishes could sparkle, no joke. My big Fiestaware fits pretty well and negotiating the two drawers with some tweaking we are now in business. Flatware holder is great. 2nd drawer for glassware is fine, although I'd like to "put one more in" alas, I'm settled with it. The 3rd rack is a dream. Fill it with mugs down the middle and all kinds of weird items and 100% happy. Almost silent, in my little 900 SF house. So glad i got it worth every penny.

    Quiet, Cleans Very Well!

    This Maytag dishwasher which I've had for almost a year, is great overall! Love the 47dBA--it is so quiet you pretty much just hear minor shifting noises. This was important since its location in the kitchen is also right outside a bedroom! The top third rack really does come in very handy for low profile bowls, containers, lids and utensils. Racks are well-designed and the flatware holder removes for ease in putting them away. It cleans super, super well! Using a regular cycle is all you usually need, and it gets dried on food remnants clean with ease (I do scrape or rinse before putting in, but I don't wash every day). I once used the PowerBlast feature for dishes and one baking dish with dried on, baked on sauce that would have been a nightmare by hand---came out spotless!!! You can see time remaining when it's running. I do have to hand wash some mugs with designs that faded when put in the dishwasher, but I think that's normal. The racks are height adjustable which is nice. The only poor design flaw that is annoying is that when you unload you have to start at the bottom and go up because the top rack holds a lot of water in itself (not in the dishes) which splashes on the dishes below. Also, I feel like some items (maybe 1-2 a load) hold water and don't dry as well as the 15-year-old Maytag this replaced, but they spend some time in the sink drying rack which is a fine trade-off for all the pros of this item! The delivery service at the time (Best Yet Installations) was horribly rude and ignorant --argued with me about the filtration feature even though the unit has a sticker on it about it ("No dishwashers have that") and didn't leave a voice mail because "it's 2022 nobody leaves VM" but they also didn't TEXT when they were on their way and the phone call didn't go through on my phone which I showed him and he still argued with me. Luckily, I was home. They did the install though and no problems from the actual work that has come up, but they need a little training in customer interaction skills. And then gave me his card to do other plumbing work--HAHAHAHA!

    Excellent dishwasher!

    We purchased this dishwasher to replace our current one after the pump motor failed, and I now see the value in a non-plastic tub and third rack. Normally I am pretty skeptical of a lot of features in modern appliances because they seem either gimmicky, designed to break or need service. In the case of this Maytag that doesn't appear to be the case with all of its features being both useful and functional. For example the third rack is honestly a game changer, being able to load flatware, and even things like tongs and small bowls saves so much space for other dishes in the second rank and in the silverware basket. Which helps avoid the issues caused by longer items being the basket, which can block the spray arms from spinning. Overall the dishwasher cleans very well, the brief selection of cycles is more than enough - and I typically only run quick cycles anyway. Most glassware is dry even after an hour wash, with only plastics remaining damp, which is more of an issue with the material not the dishwasher. Installation was mostly painless too, my only complaint being that the water inlet is made of plastic and most hook ups use metal so you can run the risk of easily misthreading onto the plastic and damaging the threads. I highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new dishwasher!
