I've had this exact model for 18 years (well, it'll be 18 years in June). I run it every other day and it hasn't had 1 repair in all of those years!! This unit contains the direct drive motor which is a little bit quieter than its belt drive counterpart. The trick to keep them washing well is to clean any blocked orifices in the wash arms before every wash, and clean the micro filter every 6 months. For the majority of the population, they never cleaned the micro filter.......EVER, so expect it to be plugged up! |

So...I listed my Maytag portable tall tub on Craigslist and it sold in 2 days! But what happened..the lady with the reverse rack Maytag hasn't emailed me in 2 weeks! So now my sister gave me her extra 18 inch Kenmore to use until I get another dishwasher. I hate it! I need a Kitchen Aid or a Maytag portable, but I refuse to buy a new energy efficient machine! What am I going to do? I am scouring Craigslist daily for a new machine.

A little known or remembered resourse is the thrift stores such as the ones run by Salvation Army or other service organizations (here in Reno, it's WARC, ASPCA, American Cancer Society, Kiwanni's, etc...). These organizations usually will pick up donations of used appliances and then be happy to sell them for whatever they can get, usually without putting a premium price on it for being a collectable model. Also, the weeding out of junk has pretty much been done for you as they usually require the donations to be in reasonable shape and working. If you can talk to the people who work in the department who oversee the pickups and let them know what you're in the market for, they might keep an eye out for you and call if some tidbit shows up. You can't catch a prize if you don't try your luck. RCD |
