Eve
Diagnostic Visit:
Mark arrived to inspect my dying 2 year old Maytag dishwasher.
He was courteous and professional.
The verdict was a seized wash motor. I later discovered the problem is a fault of this particular model, as the filter allows too large food particles into the circulator (wash) motor which causes seizing up.
I found a reputable website that lists the motor for about $200.
Mark quoted me a repair price of about $700. 😳
Diagnostic visit cost was $129, which is reasonable. (Repair price is not reasonable for a dishwasher, as they’re not really that difficult to work on).
Of course I will not have Sears replace the motor for $700 when the appliance cost less than that, that’s ridiculous!!!!! And the same problem is guaranteed to reccur!
At least I’ve learned a lot about buying appliances🤦🏻♀️
