Great brochure.  It's so awesome that all these manuals and brochures are getting scanned in.  Thanks!

 

I had a TOL '07 Maytag with the same tiered rack design. It was a feature that was almost a deal-breaker for me, as I thought I wouldn't like it. After getting acclimated, it became one of my favorite features.  That was the only machine in which you could stand two 13" x 9" cake pans on end on the left side of the bottom rack.  You could also put remarkably tall things in the right side of the top rack.  It was a great cleaning machine, too.

 

Aside:  It's snowing like crazy (we're in a blizzard warning), but it's lightning and thundering as well!  Weird.  I'm going to shut down the computer 'til the lightning is past us.  Oh, Minnesota in the winter...

I remember the Maytag dinner where they introduced this dishwasher. John said that they now had it half right. I have a convertible portable of this machine with the white on white control panel. It is an excellent cleaning machine, however, gallon iced tea pitchers block water to the upper rack so you have to put things above them like shallow bowls and pot lids that can be washed by the wash arm in the top of the tank. Most of what they say about the soil separation system in the WP-made machines is BS. The regular cycle on the Maytag has the same number of water changes as the WP/KM Ultrawash. For the types of loads I put in the machine, the WP/KM Ultrawash holds more than the Maytag, Neither holds as much as my 18s, but for real scrubbing, they both outshine the 18. Of course the 18s are 34 years old and these machines are newer. One thing I really love about them is the timer dial. Last weekend I used my Farber broiler. Even though I sprayed the rack with Pam, it had some baked on stuff. Rather than running the whole load through a Pot Smasher cycle, I waited until the end of the wash cycle and then just turned the timer to repeat the wash (minus the fill). The rack came out perfectly clean. Speaking of the Farber, do any of you put water in the Farber's drip pan before using it? It really makes clean up easy.

What none of these comparative racking pictures has shown is that cookie sheets, quarter sheet cake pans and similarly shaped items can be easily loaded in the bottom rack of the 18 IF they are loaded so that they tilt slightly outward with the soild surface facing the side of the tank. There are holes toward the tips of the wash arm that scour things very effectively in that position. You make sure that you load a cookie sheet with a lip on one end so that the lip is at the front of the rack so that it does not scratch the porcelain as you move the rack. Deeper pans are loaded on the left side while cookie sheets and shallower pans are loaded in the more closely spaced pins on the right.

Maytag!

These machines washed really well but they were leakers. My sister bought one after her KDS17 died 25 years old. I knew someone else that had a leaking problem.
I liked the next series they came out better with the detached tower. I would still take whirlpool or KA over these machines. I remember in the early 80s with the reverse rack models they knocked KA with advertising also. At that time I remember CR rated GE1200 the best out of all of them!

At that time I remember CR rated GE1200 the best out of all

And that's exactly why I got my GSD1200, even over the GSD2800.  The 1200 won out because it didn't have any electronic panels which could fail.

The leak did me in, great machine as far as cleaning but was recalled twice for something, and then it started growling when it came to a stop just before drying started and the last straw was the leaking that was some sort of crack in tub close to motor base and by this time Whirlpool had purchased Maytag and they said they would not honor tub warranty, so trash it for MOL KA.

Do any of you put water in the Farber's drip pan before

I line the inside of the grill and the drip pan with aluminum foil.

Makes for real easy clean-up.

 

 

Thanks so much for all the great scans!
