My 18 month old maytag dishwasher MODEL # MDB8959SKZ0…
My 18 month old maytag dishwasher bought at costco began to alarm for leaking 2 days after last being used....so we checked it and sure enough was leaking around pump seal. Notified costco but they said it was still on manufacture's warranty so had us contact maytag whirlpool to get service...Waited 3 days for the repair person to contact us but they didn't so contacted maytag whirlpool again only to find out that the repair was scheduled for sunday just past with the repair person that was not to be found in the Sudbury, ON area, so they said they would search for a repair person and get back to me...finally 2 days later repair person called me from Espanola. I sent him the video of the machine leaking and he said he knew exactly which part to order and did so....repeatedly checked with him biweekly to see if they had sent part for 3 weeks and finally he phoned and put a rush on it but still nothing came. Just before thanksgiving weekend he claimed that he hoped it would come next week. Wednesday after thanksgiving I text him to see if he had a tracking number to see if it was even shipped yet ( with no response so I phoned him and it went straight to voicemail)....same day I happened to go to costco and seen they had a bosch dishwasher that I wanted to buy as I was tired of waiting for the repair....decided to explain what was happening to costco service desk staff and they offered to refund me in full if I would return the dishwasher to them so we agreed but couldn't do it till the next day. I text the repair person to inform him of what had transpired and to cancel the repair as it was taking too long....( again no response and no indication that he had seen the text) so to be safe I phoned maytag repair to be sure it was cancelled and told them what had happened....only to be told that the repair had been cancelled by them on the wed before we had even returned the dishwasher...I expressed this was odd as I hadn't even returned it yet, could you tell me why they would cancel the repair when it wasn't fixed and they did not contact me to tell me they were going to do that. Response was she didn't know. At no time did maytag ever try to reach me or inform me of this occurrence or at alone why or if they were unable to repair it and what they would do to make up for it. Needless to say costco made up for this terrible service but I am still left with a lot of questions as to how they think their customers would like to be treated this way....they lost this customer for life.
