The dishwasher wouldn't clean dishes. Changed the dishwashing detergent. Now it works great.

I have been struggling with our "Quiet" series 300 for ages - the dishes on the top rack have all sorts of bits dried on to them - and anything with a concave surface (pointing up) ends up with a slimy liquid - maybe just detergent - at the end of the cycle. I wont go through all the repairs we have had, they are pretty much covered above, but recently I replaced the chopper and the filter, which was an easy job, to see if that helped. No. I checked the top spray bar - and it looked like there was something missing, like a cover to direct the water stream. Someone, please tell me how that top spray bar is supposed to work. I have water flow to the top but the bar doesnt rotate at all. No surprise considering the design of the bar. Either the top spray bar design was never finished or it was designed by someone who had no idea about water flow. It can't work.
Sounds like a class action to me.

I have been hasseling with my dishwasher since i have owned it. It runs longer then any dishwasher I have ever had and does not clean the dishes. leaves food and spots. Also I wash my stainless steel knives and the washer leaves rust spots on them as well as my cookie sheets. So frusterated thought I bought onethat would make me happy for a long time. Going to shop for new one. Any suggestions of what tp buy? I know it will not be a maytag !!

I have a Maytag dishwasher and it sucks! very 1st dishwasher I have ever owned and I think I'm going to be washing dishes by hand until I can afford another dishwasher( NOT A MAYTAG!! ) soap compartment door is broke and doesn't clean dishes at all (even when the soap door wasn't broke) What a rip off!!! I am going to make it a personal goal to convince everyone I know to, not purchase any Maytag appliances!!

when I had my junk MAYTAG Quiet Series 300 there advertisement everywhere, and sounds like a reliable brand, but after few month later the problem one after another, i thought I'm the only one end up MAYTAG junk, now I understand all MAYTAG are junks, I'm going to replace my dishwasher but never buy MAYTAG ever again

This is THE WORST dishwasher I have ever purchased or owned. One must wash the dishes prior to placing in the dishwasher or the dishes will NOT be clean! This is basically a piece of JUNK! It is a lot of money for a sanitizer. I had always owned Kenmore in the past and it will be another Kenmore before I would ever consider a Maytag after this poor excuse for a dishwasher!!!

I too have troubles with the Maytag series 300...it stops working after about 2 mins from starting..I took a chance & replaced the computer panel, thinking it was a timer issue, but still does the same thing..Back when I heard that Maytag was bought by another company, I told my wife that the quality was going to decline & it appears it did..The Maytag i bought in 94 worked way better than the one bought in 2005..Those idiots at the top of Whirlpool ruined a good thing..I would not now buy a Maytag or a Whirlpool...I just wish that I had looked at this site before I bought the part..

I HATE this dish washer!!! As most of you have stated above, it does NOT clean dishes... I thought it was my water pressure/hard water where I live that was to blame. I'm not one for washing dishes before I put them into the dish washer, so I thought maybe it was my fault too.. The controle panel on mine broke as well... had to have a service guy come out and fix it. Of course when he got here, he didn't have the correct parts. So he came back days later with the correct one. While he was here I was minding my own business with my kids and when he finished and left I didn't give it a second thought. That evening I went to do the dishes and he had messed it up cosmetically. There was a big ole dent where he had pried it open to work on it... "Thanks Maytag Guy, Really appreciate it!" I didn't call back to complain or anything because I figured it would have just been a nightmare. Next the seal broke. Well, not broke, but corroded might be the right word... it just started crumbling. So we replaced that on our own. Then the door wouldn't latch properly, it would stick and get off its hinges or something. It was bizarre. THEN, last but not least, the heating element overheated on me today. I thought my house was going to burn down. Fortunately I traced the burning smell to the dishwasher and caught it before it burst into flames, but had I not been home???????? Lord knows what would have happened!!! I want my money back! But I've had this piece of crap for over 2 years now. Ugh!!! Never again Maytag... NEVER AGAIN!!!
