Description
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 for years.

An Amazing Dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.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!

Always check the quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.The dishwasher is working well; however, it has a defect from the factory. The top strip with controls is sticking out. Bad quality control

Chipper blade broke after month and half
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.The chopper blade broke after about a month and a half of gentle use with well-rinsed items. Purchased 6/30/20; delivered 10/5/20 and installed by plumber. The chopper is part of the drain and spinning plastic fan so the loose blade blocked the fan from spinning, which prevented the water from draining. This must be a common defect because the warranty repair person arrived with a new boxed drain part in his hand. I am so disappointed because I spent a lot of money on this purchase and on installation, and hoped it would work problem-free for a few years at least. I chose a DW w/a chopper blade as a backup to rinsing, not in place of it. In addition to emptying and cleaning the easily accessed filter, many other DW brand manuals for high-pressure filtration DWs recommend unscrewing the bottom to clean interior filters on a regular basis and I think that is unrealistic for most people including me.

Support Maytag!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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!!!

Great dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Very well built, great appearance, and extremely quiet! We were amazed at how great the drying cycle works compared to our old dishwasher. We also like that the tub is stainless steel and that this unit has a third rack.

Fabulous!!!! Pictures show dirty dishes but...
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.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.

Q: QuestionWill the washer adjust to fit a 33 5/8 high opening?
Asked by Mike.
- A:Answer Mike, you are able to reduce the height by removing the legs on the dishwasher.

Q: QuestionIs there a food filter that still needs to be manually cleaned even though there is a food grinder?
Asked by Genny.
This question was asked about the related product: Maytag - Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub, Dual Power Filtration, 3rd Rack, 47dBA - Stainless steel
- A:Answer There is a small food strainer in the bottom of the tub that may need to be cleaned from time to time. This most likely protects the pump from any incidentally small objects like hard food or broken glass or anything else that is small that might otherwise get caught up in the pump. Very easy to pop out and pop back in.

Q: QuestionSince you cannot see the controls when the door is closed, I'm assuming that you have to set the cycles and push the start button "before" you close the door, and you cannot see the lights on the control after it is closed?
Asked by GARY.
- A:Answer Correct, you can not see it and yes you push start and close the door but the light to let you know when it is running and when it is finished is on the front clear to see.
Answered by MarkB
Q: QuestionDo the lower & middle racks have adjustable (fold down) tines? What are the cycle times, shortest to longest?
Asked by Jim.
- A:Answer It doesn’t have fold down tines on the racks. You can raise and lower the middle rack but that’s the only adjustment. Cycle times: Rinse :23, Quick 1:10, Normal 2:53, Auto 2:53, Powerblast 3:28.

Q: QuestionHow long does it take to run through the cycles
Asked by Jfish.
This question was asked about the related product: Maytag - Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub, Dual Power Filtration, 3rd Rack, 47dBA - Stainless steel
- A:Answer We use only the Hi Temp Wash feature (no Sani Rinse or heated dry): Power Blast 2 hours 32 minutes Auto (our “normal” setting) 2 hours 32 minutes Normal 2 hours 33 minutes Quick 1 hour 10 minutes Rinse 23 minutes If Sani Rinse is added to Normal, the time is 3 hours 4 minutes. If Short heated dry is added to Normal+Sani Rinse the time is 3 hours 25 minutes; Long heated dry is 3 hours 31 minutes. This is really a great dishwasher. It is very quiet and the 3rd rack is really functional. With that, it holds A LOT of dishes and….. they get CLEAN with the Auto cycle + Hi Temp wash + Jet Dry. We highly recommend it.
