i HATE my maytag dishwasher

I am so behind. I've got piles of work to do, emails to answer and projects to finish amongst other things. So if you are waiting on an email from me I'm sorry I haven't responded yet.<br /><br />But for the moment I just have to vent and let you know that I HATE MY DISHWASHER.<br /><br />We have a <a href="http://www.maytag.com/Kitchen-1/Kitchen_Dishwashers_and_Kitchen_Cleaning_Dishwashers-3/102120003/" target="_blank">Maytag QuietSeries</a> and it has sucked from the first month we got it.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfI7iwtDspdQLUuDf-OpBr-Bh48mKXZ8hyphenhyphenALYlvkv7anyBHqKO1eZ3eEBPdzWjRFeAmTDK778MxCDIN4h0Woiqnm93XKjCUjanP2vDhOTfv3_GpJSpkCQeWciAmp4Rb0IcneSUA5qa-T7x/s1600/maytagdishwashersarebad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfI7iwtDspdQLUuDf-OpBr-Bh48mKXZ8hyphenhyphenALYlvkv7anyBHqKO1eZ3eEBPdzWjRFeAmTDK778MxCDIN4h0Woiqnm93XKjCUjanP2vDhOTfv3_GpJSpkCQeWciAmp4Rb0IcneSUA5qa-T7x/s400/maytagdishwashersarebad.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />It doesn't clean dishes but actually leaves so much goo on them that they are often worse when we take them out. There is never a load that I don't have to re-wash at least a quarter of the items again. Now I know I am not a mechanical engineer but I was under the impression that a dishwasher was supposed to...wash!<br /><br />The prongs inside the racks started to rust and fall off within six months of purchasing it brand new from the Maytag store.<br /><br />We've called and emailed and I can tell you that <a href="http://www.maytag.com/service_support" target="_blank">Maytag customer service</a> doesn't know how to clean up a mess any better than their dishwashers do. They gave us gems like 'read the manual' or 'call a repair man'. I felt supported.<br /><br />Then, about two years into our hate/hate relationship we got a letter from Maytag saying that the dishwasher was being recalled for a faulty drying system (that isn't all that is faulty about it Maytag). They offered to send a repair man free of charge to fix this issue (and only that issue) OR issue us a $100 credit toward a new dishwasher. However, that new dishwasher had to be at least $300 more than we paid for our existing dishwasher.<br /><br />I am not buying a single thing from Maytag again so that credit was of course thrown out. I've spoken to others who have had similar issues with Maytag. I guess misery loves company.<br /><br />Do you have any dishwasher recommendations? Had any problems with an appliance in your house? Ever wanted to strangle an inanimate object?
