Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I adjust the water hardness setting on my Maytag dishwasher?
The water hardness setting is usually located on the control panel. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to adjust it. You'll typically need to know your water hardness level in grains per gallon (GPG) or parts per million (PPM) from your water company or a test kit.
•Where is the circulation pump located and how do I access it?
The circulation pump is typically located at the bottom of the dishwasher, behind the lower spray arm and filters. You usually need to remove the lower spray arm, filters, and sump cover to access it. Refer to your dishwasher's service manual for specific removal instructions.
•What type of detergent is recommended for my Maytag dishwasher?
Maytag generally recommends using a high-quality automatic dishwasher detergent that is specifically formulated for use in dishwashers. Avoid using hand dish soap, as it can create excessive suds and damage the appliance. Pods, gels and powders are all viable options.
