Hi,
The day before we noticed the recall notice, our dishwashed stopped working. A few tests on the cycles showed that water entered the machine but wasn't being pumped/thrown around. A little work later - after uninstalling the trim I noticed a lot of water under the dishwashed.
I became evident that water was leaking out of the motor casing - directly over the motor coil.
Is this behaviour consistent with the recall? Can someone describe the behaviour beyond the brief explanation Maytag gives?
Their explanation says the rinse-aid can cause fire & property damage. Is the property damage related to the water leaking - or the fire - or both?
I phoned their frustrating-helpline & never got an answer - then found their web-site
But it seems too coincidental. Also, when I was soaking up the water under the dishwasher I noticed a clump of what looked like solder that would have come off one of the manufactured joints (as the joints used in installation were all compression joints).
Help? Please?
