Well guys, I know I have posted about re-doing my neighbor's kitchen for her. Down to the appliances today - to the tune of 4,879.78 and all were fine but the damn dishwasher. I was so pissed. The one thing I really wanted to play with. All are Maytag except for the range which is a Jenn Aire, dual fuel. Gas cook top and electric oven. Anyway, the the dishwaher, a TOL Maytag, not even a click or light responded. I called the dealer a local place here(not big box). They did not know. Yes I tried all of the obviouse. Not a click, light or a buzz. Anyone have a clue before I take it back tomorrow for an exchange??????????????? Steve | ||

another obvious-- Did you check at the circuit breaker box? What about checking the latch? I mean it could be DOA, but I really hope not. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Must be a lot of that going around. I bought a new Whirlpool brand window A/C MIB completely unopened. The box was actually styrofoam and plastic shrink warp..no way it was opened. Teh electroic controls only have half the LED diode indicators working.. F that, let them come to ME to fix it. For now it still cools. | ||

roto204 and Toggleswitch: Tried the cancel/drain. Actually it reads "Start/Cancel". The local Maytag folks are coming over on Friday to take a look. I already know, yes it is under warranty and yes there is something wrong, but.............. You will replace it, not order a part and fix it! No NO NO, the lady bought 4,879.78 worth of Maytag the day we went and picked out, so NO NO NO, I want another one!!! Warranty or not. Now, if it is just a disconnected wire (which I think I would have noticed then ok) Hey her old one is a belt drive Maytag. It works perfect! Any chances someone wants it. I have two, so what ya think? Also vintage is a Montgomery Wards Double electric oven. Later and thanks! Steve | ||

Not a big surprise to me. I found our a few years ago that Maytag is no longer what they used to be. Good thing you are dealing with a local store. I used to live in an old section (Hyde Park) of Tampa, and had natural gas service there. I also remember it in the older areas of Miami. | ||

Boca Raton, FL turned off their gas to residences a few years back. Apparently metal pipes rust when combined with a high water table, imagine? ...and also demand (or the profit from that level of demand, actually) does not warrant a capital outlay to replace the old rotting pipes, presumably with plastic ones. Its weird actually in that central heaters were electric but water heaters and dryers were gas, Apparently for 2 weeks a year that home heating is needed. It does not pay to install a gas furnace, either. | ||

VERDICT is IN!
Ok all that were interested. He (the Gray's Maytag Repair Man - whom I know) showed up at 9:30 this AM. He was there only about 10 mins. "The J5 electronic control panel wire was not plugged in" I saw it as soon as he took the door apart. Looked like a knock around $6.50/hr delivery or shipping person's doing to me. Not attributable to poor old Maytag. Plugged the J5 connector on and what a nice machine. Made me wonder what elese might be loose. Seems to run just fine, did a load and it was great! Steve | ||
