Looks like we have a solution!
I knew that back in 2009 or 2010 when I parted out the WU901 dishwasher that had been in Ogden originally I had passed the detergent dispenser along to someone. Well, that someone turned out to be Phil!
He very graciously gave me the dispenser when he came to visit in Ogden last week. But now that I'm back in St-Liboire, it's going to go back into active duty!

Oh look! The 90s Maytags had a porthole window like the Youngstown Kitchens Jet-Tower machines... LOL
Kidding aside, the 'new' dispenser was a snap to install.
And while I had the front panel off AND I had to test the bimetal release anyway, I thought I'd shoot a short video of it tripping. The recoil of the spring in this version of the dispenser seems much more powerful than the newer one. Methinks the problem is now solved!
Since the 'Tag is going to stay after all, I think I'll have to paint one of those interchangeable colour-pack panels a kind of bluey-green... What's that called again? Oh yeah, Turquoise!!! LOL

Great Paul.
One less thing to repair now.
FINE. I guess you won't be needing me anymore. LOL

Oh Eddie... You know I'll always need you.. I still have to get a certain Coppertone machine, after all. LOL
So, as I mentioned in my thread about baking an Angel Cake in a glass tube pan, I figured that this would be a good test for the Maytag to see if adding detergent to the wash cycle at the right time really makes a difference.
It did! I regret that my photo of the pan before I ran the Pots And Pans cycle did not come out, but just look at the 'after' photo. It's clean as a whistle. I'm thrilled. Canyon was thrilled. Hubby...well, let's just say he's glad I'll not be doing a 'musical dishwashers' game in St-Lib anytime soon. Although the '58 Frigidaire Spin Tube did say it was getting lonely in the garage... LOL
As we say in French, j'ai fermé la boucle. And I saved a dishwasher in the process!

Curses! Outdone by the Northern Nemesis again!!!!!
Other Yanks please correct me if I'm wrong but I've never seen a blue Maytag detergent dispenser, only white. Is this a Canadian detail??? Is this going to be like the Vintage Filter-Flo Mini-basket that's only anemic green in the states but in Canada it's gloriously blue????

MT RR DW Detergent Dispenser

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!

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!
