Feedback for Maytag.
First experience with Maytag. You tell me how you would feel in this experience. We paid for the dishwasher and the old to be taken away.. First dishwasher was not inspected and was dented and they didn’t take away the old. They came the next day to take away the dented one and left our old one there. Had to call again to get it taken away- another day lost waiting for service. More days lost waiting for the new one.. Then they drop off the new on the doorstep.. got it installed and was leaking. Got a service technician in and leaking he said the tub was cracked and so bad that the dishwasher needed to be replaced- not repaired. Called customer service. A nightmare to deal with. Told us repair only and parts wait of 6 weeks. More time lost. After speaking to a supervisor, a refund will be issued only for the dishwasher and not the other parts required for install hookup for this specific model. Once picked up- another week delay, a cheque to be reissued 4-6 weeks later. What an utter time wasting and catastrophic experience from what was once known as the premium brand of dishwashers. We paid for and all was asking was for a dishwasher that worked. Is this really too much too ask for? Is this this really the level of service that maytag want to deliver and feel is acceptable to hand out to Maytag customers?
