da | Bite Me Maytag

Our dishwasher seems to be under recall.

If you bought a Maytag dishwasher between July 1997 and Fall 2001, check that link against your serial number/model number. (apparently, US as well as Canada). I'll be finding out how exactly they plan to come and repair it... Grr.

Edit: I called the number for additional information; he said: fill in the "registration" form on the website; you will be in the queue to receive a Replacement Part in the mail, and a letter from them, which will have local numbers to call to have an appointment scheduled. They'll come and fix it. That sounds easy enough.

He didn't say anything like "you must unplug your dishwasher right now or your house will explode". Since we don't use rinsing agent, I 'm gonna assume we're OK continuing to use it until they show up. (As d. points out, it's just as safe as it has been for the last five years... the recall didn't make it explosive; the bad design did.)
