Maytag MDB5601AWB

Same problems as everyone else…mine lasted 2 years and lights started failing on control panel. Not sure if board or panel problem but after dissassembling back of door and checking board for problems…would not start. Got so frustrated that I wrote Jeff Fettig (CEO of Whirlpool) last week complaining of this problem and which should be recalled..haven’t heard yet but always went to the top to get some satisfaction and would advise others to do the same…maybe they will build a better dishwasher in the future…getting a Whirlpool replacement in a few weeks thru Lowes and hoping for a better outcome & more durability…why did they have to go to electronics ….the old turn dial worked fine & no problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Maytag model MDB6701AWW2 (looks just like MDB5601AWW) broke down after 20 washes.  At a cost of more than $700 (included Sears installation), this dishwasher is nothing more than an expensive dishrack as I am back to washing dishes by hand. ...

I purchased this dishwasher 3 years ago and have not had any problems at all. It was very very quiet in the beginning but it is a little louder now otherwise no problems at. It gets the dishes very clean without spots without jet dry.

I have used this machine faithfully for the last 3 or 4 years. It finally just died... I have to call a repair man who is charging me $70 just to look at it. Don't buy this one... It's going to fall apart in a few years....

Not recommended, it takes FOREVER to run through cycle.

This machine was purchased new and has had 9 repairs in 2 1/2 years. We finally replaced it with something else.

"Mama there is smoke in the kitchen!"

This is the 2nd Maytag I've owned and I've had trouble with both. The first I owned for about 2 years, with some minor issues along the way (broken handle, funny noises and smells form the motor, and the child lock not working properly.) However, all ...

Runs great for 11 months then nothing but headaches
