Maytag MDB7100AWQ

[gadgetgary]

My sister is upgrading her kitchen to 'stainless steel' Samsung appliances(including the DW) and granite countertops.

I told her I wanted her old Maytag DW(which was repaired in a recall issue with the rinse aid dispenser)

 

It is really in great shape with one rust spot on the upper rack.

 

It is model # MBD7100AWQ

Serial # 15380740YF

 

Can you give me some information on this machine?

Great performer?

Does it dry with a heating element or a fan assist dry?

Samsung

She really was very happy with the Maytag.

 

Will she be equally happy with the new Samsung with hidden controls?

 

The Samsung is coming from PC Richards.

Yes, it continues to circulate the water while it's heating the water.  And i very seriously doubt she'll be happy with that Samsung dishwasher.  I've not heard good things about it at all.

Bob

I might have to get rid of one Extra Dw.

 

Would you keep this DW(Maytag) or keep the KitchenAid(KUDJ230Y1)?

I had that same dishwasher...

It's superb...wish I had taken it when I moved...

It doesn't have a fan-assisted dry...

However, I never used a rinse agent, and still got excellent drying results...

Wow.

Hi Gary

That's a Wicked tough choice.

I'm these days partial to the Maytag. It does have 2 Full sprays on the top and the bottom, and also I had one briefly and loved it. The only thing I didn't like on the tag was the previous owners had some kind of Scented Rinse Agent that just permeated the Plastic Interior. Since I cannot tolerate fragrances, I gave it away. Other than that, I would say that it cleaned as good if not better that a KA.

Runs a tad bit longer, but that Tower and the Wash Arms make it a Good Cleaning Machine.

I'd say take it, and if you don't want it, I'll gladly take that machine off your hands. As I know where it is coming from. Let me know.

Ok... I'll take it

I'll be making a trip to NJ soon.

If you want, I'll swap you my Regency for that . Otherwise, e-mail me and let me know what you'd like for it.

that machine is on the recall list. Do you know if it has been serviced?

[gadgetgary]

Recall?

What was the problem?

 

Your link is not working.

 

[magic clean]

The recall was in connection with the rinse aid dispenser. If the link does not work call Maytag @ 800-675-0535 with the complete model and serial number. Also see www.maytag.com

[toggleswitch]

My Maytag needed a new heating element as part of its recall. Does your new Maytag need one as well?

Umm Guys, if ya read his first post, he said the machine was repaired in a recall issue about the rinse-aid dispenser. 

 

[toploader55]

Thanks Bob.

I thought I read that as well.

I believe it was a fire issue.

Samsung

I think this is the model that is replacing the Maytag.

 

What is that about:

 

"Fan-driven condensing drying system"?

 

Reviews were not great.
