We remodeled our kitchen and bought a Maytag refrigerator and dishwasher. I've typically bought Maytag or Kitchenaid appliances because I thought they were of good quality. The appliances were installed in July 2024 and already we've had to replace a drawer in the refrigerator which, luckily was still under warranty. Not the case with our dishwasher. We bought a high end 3 tier dishwasher, stainless steel - it cleans well, however it is rusting on the front of the dishwasher. The appliance store I purchased from did come out and look at it and admitted it shouldn't do this after just over a year but said the warranty was only good for a year. It is rusting around the steam vent on the face of the dishwasher and along the top of the dishwasher where the plastic meets the stainless steel. To me, this is a defect. The store suggested I call their 800 number which was useless. They "escalated" my complaint but of course, I'm being told there's nothing they can do and I should've purchased the extended warranty. It's become a scam with appliances - basically, you have to spend another several hundred dollars for an extended warranty. A stainless steel dishwasher should not be rusting at a little over a year old. Maytag is no longer the company it was. The quality isn't there anymore. I caution anyone shopping for appliances - DO NOT BUY MAYTAG, WHIRLPOOL or KITCHENAID.
