MDB8959SKW I will be buying a dishwasher soon and have narrowed it down to the Maytag model you have in black or white or a Bosch 800. I would love to read your review on this later :-). | ||

spray arm action I thought the latest Maytags alternate their spray arms. Why don't they run simultaneously in the Maytag? | ||

the pump does not circulate enough water to supply all of the arms at once. because of this, a diverter valve alternates spray arms, I believe in 4 zones, bottom, center, 3rd rack, top. this of course makes cycle times longer. | ||

My Maytag is a 2014 front control Model between 7/8 years old at this point. No problems.
If I had to stop for a DW today it would probably be this one you got as well. Truthfully, I don't mind front controls at all, but the front control one doesn't have the third rack.. I also noticed this no longer has the top tiered rack (thank goodness).....which I live with but is a total pain sometimes.

Maytag arm alternation When did Maytag go to alternating wash arms? If so, why wasn't I informed? I thought they were the last holdout to run all arms at once. How were they able to do this? I am intrigued to this day why Maytag recently started alternating their spray arms. | ||

 It's probably quieter and more efficient to alternate the arms. The pump motor can be half the wattage and the dishes really don't need to have constant contact with the wash water action.

Maytag with alternating wash zones It's interesting to know that Maytag finally went to the alternating wash system. Who would've thought? Maytag never stated they were going to alternate their wash arms. Why now? | ||

Efficiency and likely whirlpool wanting to manufacture a single wash system instead of 3 or 4. | ||

whirlpool wash system for Maytag How does Maytag's arm operation work? Does it start from the top then work its way down or vice versa? It's interesting that Whirlpool built a wash system for Maytag and include the hybrid between the global wash system and point voyager system in one. I am still intrigued. | ||

Long service life That Ultrwash owes you nothing. My sister in law's Whirlpool quiet partner is from 1998. They're about to replace it. It's stuck on normal. Mine did the dame thing. | ||

Martin, the Normal Cycle is Prewash, Wash, Purge if light soil and a full rinse if medium or heavy soil, final rinse, and dry. Light soil main wash temp is 105 degrees, normal soil is 120 degrees and heavy soil 120 degrees. The Heavy/PowerBlast cycle main wash is 120 or a bit higher and main wash is followed by 2 full rinses. Auto Cycle is variations of these. 1 hour wash is a prewash, rinse, main wash, and two rinses after wash. The final rinse on this cycle is 20 to 30 minutes long to make sure the final rinse water temp is higher. High temp wash raises main wash temp to 130 degrees. Standard final rinse temperature is 140 degrees. When Sani Rinse optoin is selected, main wash temp is raised to 135 or 140 degrees and final rinse is 155 degrees.

Martin, the initial cycle run on Auto is a calibration cycle. It does extra stuff. The cycle will always start out displaying longest time and will adjust as cycle progresses if appropriate. In both my Whirlpool/KitchenAid produced products, the time display would decrease or increase as the situation warranted.

I suspected I thought that might be the case. Another feature, miss-described in the literature, there is a small light on the front panel. When washing it glows blue, drying red, and when the cycle is done it glows white. | ||

Meat Loaf Pan The glass Meat Loaf pan came out squeaky clean. Lots of residue on it before washing. Happy with that. | ||

48bencix Does your dishwasher alternate spraying or is it ran all at once? | ||

BSH DW are in short supply Over here, currently, if you can get ahold of any Bosch (or BSH DW in general), you'll be paying basically 1-2 model tiers higher than you get. Entry line used to retail for below 400€, now retail at what the midrange was before. Midrange is higher range, higher range retail for TOL money and the TOLs retail for Miele money. | ||

videos of these I'd love to see videos of these new Maytags in action from the inside. It will be interesting to see which of the arms will alternate during a cycle. It looks like Maytag was the last brand to move to alternating wash system. | ||

Maytag alternating arms I didn't see any info about Maytag's alternating wash system. They seem to be the last of the Whirlpool line to do so. | ||

Yep that is a great price....
I read back through this thread and it leads me to a question if someone sees this... It has to do with selecting the Auto clean cycle...So then when I chose auto clean on mine...I can also select high temp wash and tough scrub...but I wonder, is that even needed with auto clean? I wonder what happens when choosing those two options in addition to auto clean? Perhaps it gives an extra rinse or something? It's kind of confusing because you would think auto clean would choose high temp wash for you... I don't know. | ||

It'll be interesting to see how this wash system handles APF. We have one arriving soon so I'll be sure to investigate. Also looking forward to seeing how it handles baked on foods & egg residue, both things that my point voyager couldn't handle. | ||

Yes, the prior generation was a more refined point voyager based wash system, the thing is already whisper quiet I couldn’t imagine why they would wanna make it alternate arms to make it quieter? Also this was the direct wash generation they used when they stopped making the point voyager Jetclean’s in 2014, so lasted about 6 years you cannot buy them brand new anymore as Maytag has obviously moved onto a new system which they’ve never, ever done with Maytags the only WP brand that has not seen this wash system yet until the year of 2020ish when this came out . I have nothing to say about the new ones I don’t have one, but I can definitely say I’m happy enough with my 2020 model that features the good old wash system, which they called “The Clean Water Wash”according to its manual. I still have my powerclean portable from early 2000, still looks and runs like it’s brand new. Absolutely love both of these very iconic reliable machines and unique in their own ways, old and new. But still share a very important characteristic, they hold enough power and run all arms at once giving everything a completely spotless clean every time reaching every corner nook and cranny, at least with this new/old Jetclean arm i installed into my PC and it now spins faster than the lower arm does due to the smaller jets and has better propulsion.
Congratulations on the new machine and hope it will serve you well for many years, cheers to well built older and modern WP machines! I have so far heard good things about the new system, other than the strange chopper blade malfunction but I think that also happened in the generation we have now. | ||

wash behavior Did you notice any arm alternation during the cycle? What wash behavior did you observe compared to previous models? | ||
