Appliances in general last for years, peculiarly when maintained properly. Proper maintenance genuinely reduces the incidents of defective functioning considerably. When a household appliance stops working, you have two choices. You may either repair the appliance or replace it. To take the right decision various constituents need to be considered. First and foremost check up on the age of the appliance and it is warranty period. If the warranty amount of time is still on, the fix may cost not one thing or less than what it would have cost otherwise.
Assuming that the warranty amount of time is over and that repair is going to be costly, then you need to make an analyzation of a few points. You will have to begin by getting an estimate of the cost involved. If the cost is when it comes to 50% of the cost of a new appliance then it is worth getting the fix done. Otherwise it would make more sense to just upgrade to a newer model. A very old appliance may present you with the problem of hard-to- find spare parts. Substitutes for basi spare elements are not a very good idea. Chances are they would give rise to more troubles than solutions. If this proves to be a stumbling block then dump the appliance and treat yourself to a new one. Newer models are in general energy efficient. This will translate into substantial savings and over the years the cost will be justified.
Appliance repairs are normally billed on an every hour basis. Average rates for the initial half an hour could vary among $50- $70. For each subsequent time block the rates would be lesser. $10 – $20 could well be the intermediate range for the later time slabs. Lesser rates are charged if the appliance is taken to the service shop. At times the rates could be decisive on a occupation basis. This would be beneficial for the client as then he wouldn?t have to worry over the time being taken.
Overtime calls, i.e., calls taken after business hours, on weekends and on holidays are in general charged extra. The charges could well be up to 25% more. So unless it is an emergency, an overtime fix call is not a very good idea.

 Absolutely Perfect!
By J. Beardsley
This dishwasher has been fantastic for us. It looks great both outside and inside. The stainless steel lining on the inside (as opposed to a plastic lining) allows for better drying and heat retention, also minimizing energy loss. Our dishes definitely come out cleaner and drier than with our previous GE dishwasher, although some items with a recess capable of pooling water, such as the bottom of certain cups placed upside down on the top rack, still require a slight wipe with a towel to completely dry. The controls are easy to use, though at first we were confused because they are hidden under the counter top. This is done on purpose to prevent children from pressing buttons during use. To use the controls, simply make your sections and press start while the door is slightly ajar. Once you close the door the wash cycle will begin in a few second. The wash cycle is amazingly quiet. Sometimes it’s hard to determine that the dishwasher is even running. I absolutely love the steam, high-temp, and sanitizing settings. This gets the wash water very hot, and does the job you want to kill and remove unwanted bacteria and germs from your kitchen items. I highly recommend this dishwasher for your kitchen!

 Not perfect but great value anyway
By Steve in Japan
(Actually I have the black model -AWB, but no point in mixing the reviews since all of the 7759s are the same machine).
First off, this dishwasher is the answer to my prayers (quiet) and my wife’s (cleans really well). The cheap Whirlpool it replaced made a racket and left crud all over the machine and sometimes on the dishes too. I have had it for 6 months now and it works perfectly and is virtually self-cleaning. Love the stainless interior.
Some quibbles, but I will add that they mostly come from the 7759 being the low end model in the range:
1) Having all the controls and indicators on the top edge of the door is very elegant and avoids little hands etc., but that puts it under the counter edge when the door is closed so you have no way to see what the status is. What were they thinking??? The instruction manual says that you can open the door and add/remove items BEFORE THE MAIN WASH BEGINS, but with no indicator on the front and the machine being so quiet, I can’t tell when this is. (The manual shows an indicator but this apparently exists on a different model). And (sorry “Yaki”, you’re wrong or have another model), if you stop the cycle after the main wash begins, it will NOT resume and you have to add new detergent and start all over.
2) The top rack is non-adjustable, although it is obviously designed so that on some other model in the series it can be adjusted. Not a real problem since it allows very tall items in the lower rack.
3) The silverware baskets supplied seem to be left over from a model with a square-cornered lower rack, because there is some space wasted when they are used. The angled corners on the rack do add some marginal space: I have no complaint about the capacity of this unit.
4) “Heated dry” is ON as a default. Easy enough to turn off, but this seems like an possible energy-waster since the dishes end up nice and hot anyway from the hot water and the good insulation, much hotter than our old unit. So they dry quickly and cleanly on their own in a few minutes after I crack the door open. I will say that after the complimentary rinse aid was used up I have not felt any need to buy more, but we do have soft water.
5) To get the door open in a flat position you have to bend down and give it a little extra push to overcome the built-in friction. At least the old Whirlpool opened easily because of its weak springs. The door springs on the Maytag look like they come from a Sherman tank but at least they will never break.
6) Installation was easier than typical thanks to the long drain hose supplied and an undercarriage that is fairly free of obstacles. My dealer remembered that a hose bibb adaptor was needed so gave it to me for free. However, the metal shield on the electrical junction did not fit well, and what was that weird screw they use??
All in all, it’s probably one of the best DWs around and a fair price too.

 Cleans great and breaks often
By mr. loki
I bought a dishwasher and the control panel was replaced within 6 months and needs to be replaced again.
I love the way this dishwasher cleans dishes but am very disappointed that it stopped functioning so soon after purchase and again after being repaired.
Maytag will not take responsibility for the repair since it is no longer under warranty (the cost to fix it is almost as much as it initially cost). This product is garbage. Buyer beware!!
