Maytag corporation recalled 1.7 Million dishwashers that were made from February 2006 to April 2010. The electrical in the heating units can fail which can pose a serious fire risk. Maytag recieved 12 reports of their units catching fire, all were caused by the electrical in the heating unit. They have set up a website for which anyone can check if their Maytag dishwasher's serial number matches that of the one's that are being recalled. If their serial number does match they can choose whether they want a rebate towards a new unit or to get it fixed for free.
From what I have heard Maytag makes very good appliances and has a very good record for making quality machines. But now the Maytag repair men are going to have a lot of work to do if all these people that are affected want their units fixed. Any company will have a product that goes wrong..I mean look at Toyota. So I won't hold this against their reputation I think it's just a minor bump in the road for their corporation. Hopefully all these units will get replaced or fixed so no one's homes are destroyed or no lives are lost.
