Intermittent Problem with Maytag Dishwasher

Dishwasher Repair

Hi,

I’m having an intermittent problem with my dishwasher. It will always fill with water…after that it does one of three things (well, maybe four):

  1. works fine
  2. makes a humming (buzzing) sound from the bottom of the washer (nothing else happens) I believe this noise is from the motor relay.
  3. nothing at all
  4. (Kind of) sometimes it will start working, but not finish (ie. not drain when done).

First, I talked to a local repairman. He told me that since it is intermittent, it can not be the motor or the relay. That it had to be the timer. Well…I ordered the timer from here and then installed it when it came in.

Problem still there.

Thinking that it might be the relay, since this is what is making the noise, but I would like to have a second (and possibly a third and forth) opinion before I spend more money on another part.

Aren’t there any Maytag repairmen out there?

The commercials show them with nothing to do. Maybe it is because they are ignoring their customers:D

After watching these commercials for years, we finally bought a new washing machine and a new dishwasher from Maytag. Too bad both of them have crapped out on us.

Any suggestions on how to go about fixing my dishwasher?

Perdy Please:rolleyes:

I really thought that I had come into some luck when I found this forum. Apparently, only certain brands get replies from here.

I guess that I will have to look elsewhere for help. Hopefully, I can find a different repair forum on this vast Internet. Thanks!!
