How does this system work with the two sumps? I see the two plastic drums underneath, but was puzzled about what's going on here. The belt drives, like what Peteski posted above, make perfect sense. But what about these direct-drive units--how do the double-sumps and filtration work?

Nathan where are you seeing two sumps? all I remember is one sump with the filter assembly in it and a lot of interesting shaped hoses that connect everything together.

Nate, as you can see, the Crystal/china/Plastics cycle is a no-heat dry. I thought you knew that about these all-button Maytags. Looks like it's a Normal Wash cycle without heated dry.

Oh, my
Nate-- I am not merely green with envy, I am Deep Forest with envy.
Our first dishwasher was a WC400, and it was the best cleaning dishwasher I have ever used.
Oddly enough, for these machines, I do prefer the 400 series instead of the 601 because of the flexibility of the dial and pushbuttons, but........
Maybe you'll keep this one for a full year???

Nice machine and your kitchen decor is lovely!
More than a year?
Lawrence, ha! I don't think I've made it a full year for the last few years with the same dishwasher. But I will try my best
John, I think what I am seeing may be a "faux" sump. See how there are two "sumps" under the wash-arm, in a figure eight pattern? Is there only really one that is a true sump? And if so, is the micromesh filter what's contained beneath?
Since this unit was so minty, I didn't want to muck it up by tearing into it to see how it worked.
Bob, no, I did not know that, the dealer clearly failed to include the manual. Not to mention that this is the only pushbutton Maytag I've had!

@john - stainless steel, yeah, that's what I said - aluminum would make no sense
I stripped one of these early portables for parts and there are a heap of hoses in that machine. It was fascinating how they used the filter and were able to keep it so clean.
I have mine in the garage next to the KitchenAid 14 but it sadly doesn't get used as much as it should. I can hear it crying out for attention once in a while...

Hee!
Hans, that's a little 21" Vesta. It's adorable, and I love it. I never thought I'd be so satisfied with anything less than 40 inches, but then we've all heard that before.
Greg, how DOES that filter work in the axial-mount units? Is it just the same iteration as in Peteski's picture that depicts the belt-drive version of the micro-mesh filter? So, same deal, just offset and underneath?

Hey Nate I have not been here for awhile...But Congratulations on one of the best looking Maytags Iv'e ever seen.
I love that dishwasher !
When I was in this elementary school , They had the same exact machine and color.
This was a seperate building where they had arts and crafts as well as a cooking class.
When no one was around I would turn on the machine they never used it.
But when it cycled on it would fill up and then start spraying ,the bad thing was the wash arm would not turn.
I would open it up and spin it around then close the door and it would for 20 seconds.
Now HERE is the big question which I have encounterd before with a Kitchenaid ...
I don't no if the holes where clogged at the end of the wash arm but I did not see any in the Kitchenaid.
Could it be a bad pole piece...But it spun when I turned it ?
Anyway that machine had so much power when it sprayed lol.
I was with Mike this summer and got him I beleave the last of the series reverse rack models.
We got this machine at Habitat for Humanity.
This one has the plastic light blue arms.
And the wash motor pictured in Peters Litariture.
Good luck with that machine !
Greg your machine looks great did you make that color..
Peter you are amazing with your litariture !
Here is the machine Mike ( Dishwashercrazy ) Got this summer.

MAYTAG!
My good friend Steve Riley has a like new Maytag like yours, he used it for years in Atlanta, Don and I put it on the truck and its now in Roanoake and still looks like new, I would love to have one for a daily driver, I like the plates in the top deal! As for the Vesta range, thats a good old Southern Range made in Tennessee, I have a O Keefe and Merrit Hi Vue I got from Steve when we helped him move.
