“Someone mentioned an exposed heating element? What do they mean by this? Is there a hot coil that could be easily touched inside? I've never heard of such a thing in a dishwasher? Does it melt plasticwear?! This is important to me.”

Hi Suzy, you are able to see the heating element in the bottom of the dishwasher. As long as you use dishwasher safe plastic your plastic items will be fine. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Maytag appliances!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure what the heating coil would be, but I put my kids plastic dishes on the top rack and haven't had any issues. Now there is a setting to make it hotter, maybe that's what they meant. I set it to normal with heated dry and no issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Every dishwasher I remember having has always had an exposed heat element. As long as plastics don't fall off of racks and land on element they are fine.
