Of course additional warranties are available but I didn’t opt in because those cost almost as much as the machine. But still, the Whirlpool (same company as Maytag now) dishwasher it replaced lasted 17 years with zero problems. The only reason we replaced it is because we bought all new appliances to go along with out kitchen upgrade, plus the racks in it were disintegrating and the cost for replacements were as expensive as a new machine.

No worries. I’ll fix it myself. The part (drain pump) costs $42 online and seems like an easy swap. I expected better from a company like Maytag.

We bought a Maytag a few years ago, had them come out and install it. About 6 months later, everything just shut off on us one night. I got up the next morning, got my flashlight and started looking underneath it and the main hot wire came loose and was just hanging there.. So lucky it didn't ground itself out and start a damn fire.. I had to take the whole damn thing out and rewire everything myself, just to make sure all the wires were tightened down.. 

If you want it done right..
