5-6 year old Maytag dishwasher has developed a small crack @ bottom of tub, resulting in a leak. Is there a way to repair without replacing? Perhaps and epoxy that will withstand the heat of the dry cycle & is safe (non-toxic) for use around dishes?

Either pull out your operators manual or go to the Maytag site and download it.
I think your tub has a 20 year warranty.
Since it would cost them a fortune to replace the tub, they should replace the unit. |

Yeah, you're right. I just looked it up over the weekend. That was great news - I was afraid it might only be a 5 yr warranty (dishwasher is 6 yrs old).
Thanks for the tip!
