Maytag dishwasher wheels fixed!


We have a Maytag Quiet Series 300 MDB7600. We've had what we now understand is a very typical issue with the appliance. The top rack wheel kept breaking off! We had the serviceman out several times. It was quite wasteful and expensive since their solution was to replace the entire upper rack. You have to keep doing it every six months, which is silly since this isn't toner for a printer -- this is an appliance! It turns out this problem exists in almost every "tall tub" dishwasher, not just the Maytag Quiet Series. Nearly all the models and brands ranging from Maytag, Amana, Whirlpool and Kenmore are afflicted.

An engineer by trade, I found myself making my own hubs. They worked out, and now the last wheel replacement you’ll ever need is available to you. This is an indestructible kit of custom hubs, machine screws and lock-washers. The kit is made entirely from commercial food service high grade 300 series stainless steel.

The companies that manufacture appliances are called "white goods manufactures." They are infamous in the manufacturing and technology worlds for pinching pennies. They use inexpensive plastic parts in some areas they should not -- like those that are high stress and high wear. This saves them money while causing you breakdowns and frustration.

Please let me know if you have an appliance that has an obviously faulty part. What we'll do is look closely at the parts and figure out what the design defect is. We'd like to build replacement parts for your GE refrigerator, GE dryer, or oven.

We have a survey at http://indestructibleparts.com where you can tell us about which parts are troublesome to you. We'll go above and beyond offering you yet another poorly designed original replacement part like so many parts dealers on the net. We redesign parts for indestructibility and offer a lifetime warranty on them!
