I swear, I didn't do anything to it... LOL It was the cup I pulled from the WU902 that was in the kitchen in Ogden when the GE Kitchen Centre in 2009 - I can't help but wonder if it was 'repaired' at some point or another... I know the local repair guy in the Ogden/Stanstead area and 'mix and match rebuilds' would be right up his alley!

Two Tone Detergent Dispensers On MT RR DWs
It must have been a Canadian thing, LOL.

I think we ALL can agree
Either a RR Maytag or a Hobart Kitchen Aid will outclean ANYTHING on the market today, and both will do it in half the time!

I don't know if the two tone detergent dispenser is a Canadian thing... as far as I know, all Maytag dishwashers, and washer and dryers, were made in the USA.
There was no Maytag Canadian factory.
Inglis Canada probably made the canadian Kenmore washers and dryers, and those were slightly different than the US Kenmore washers and dryers. But Maytags were all made in Iowa, back then.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Maytag fan drying
<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">So, I was cruising through some old posts the other day and came across this one with a lengthy discussion about how the RR drying works with the forced air. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Ironically, the other day, I was telling a friend of mine how the Maytag shoots this cloud of hot steam across the kitchen when the drying first starts. He asked me to video it and send it to him which I did. It lasts about 40 seconds or so and then the steam is gone and you just feel the warm air coming out. This machine is one of the better I've had at drying things especially plastic. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I thought it was appropriate to share here after reading all the chatter about how well they dry. </span>

Thanks for the video, Ralph. That Maytag really does shoot out some steam! I'd hang a pair of wrinkled pants in front of it.

Maytag RR Dishwasher
In my opinion and god knows opinions are like assholes everyone has one.... but why on earth anyone would want to replace one of these with the new shit that is out there today on the market is beyond me. I bought my Mother a portable one for Christmas in 78 or 79 and was a year old and slightly used and it was sold with the house in 2012 and still worked perfectly. The only issue she ever had with it was the DD belt would need to be lubricated periodically otherwise it would scream. I had bought a use KA portable when I lived with my partner a few yrs later I bought my Mom here and I can't say as I really liked it as well as the Maytag and they were both pretty much the same model levels. I have 2 of the TOL fast advance timer models one installed in my apt and one for a spare for parts. They do a fantastic job of washing dishes and its done in half the time of any new crap that's out there today. Ok I am
off my soap box now. Everyone have a fantastic weekend out there in Automatic Washer.org

AMEN to that!
I would not trade a vintage DW or any other appliance for ANY new one...I don't have 3 hours to wash dishes, my 30 year old Kitchen Aid is done in 45 minutes!

My 97 DWC7602 Maytag does that too. It's startled my cats a few times when the steam starts coming out.
"hated"...
I think what made customers dislike these was simply not knowing how to use them. I've been in homes of friends who have these (which were very popular in my old state because the area had a Maytag dealer) and it seemed like everyone loaded them with cups in the top rack, plates somehow crammed in the bottom. To someone who never used on of these, it would be easy to goof and load them much like they've been accustomed to. Personally, all dishwashers outside of the RR have it backwards. I find bowls tend to be more soiled then dishes, and like having to reach short silverware without bending down. But to each his own.

Divided as always! 
<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I think this group will be divided on this topic until the end of time. The division seems to be around those who use them and those who have had to repair them. I haven't had to do many repairs yet, so we'll see how that goes. I like the concept of the power module but I haven't had to change one out yet. I will always be partial to the older style Kitchen Aid one arm wonders but if I want help with the dishes on a daily basis I need a daily driver with multi level-washing.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I've only had mine a few months and so far I really like it. Now that I am learning it's limits and how best to get the Bob Load certification I am finding I like it. But there is a lot to be said for those who have the traditional rack style ingrained in their heads. For example, my other half. If there are already dishes in there he will follow that example but if it's empty I can guarantee you the cups and glasses will be on top and he will be calling across the house for help because the plates won't "fit."</span>
<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I like mine so much I am on the lookout for a WU900 series machine. I think that's the right model. I want one with all buttons and the rapid advance timer. I like the look of those machines and I'd love to find one in decent shape or one that needs minor repairs. We are about to put the house on the market so I have been toying with the idea of leaving the Maytag here. I don't want to leave one of my Kitchen Aid machines. However, as I use it more and like it more I may just by some Piece of Crap at a big box store and put that in before we go. We'll see. Most likely the new owner will rip it out because, it's not stainless, or it's too loud, or it's too old, or it doesn't match the other appliances. You know, one of the million stupid reasons we read on Craigslist every day.</span>
