Maytag KUDE 40CVBL2

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170314-15151-2147405221. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Maytag KUDE 40CVBL2 (Dishwasher). Incident: Maytag Dishwasher Model: KUDE 40CVBL2 S/N : F00601129 Purchased in 2010 WE HAVE NOTICED PIECES OF PLASTIC BREAKING OFF AND FALLING ON THE FLOOR UNDER THE FRONT DOOR OF THE UNIT. I looked under the front door and noticed that a long piece of plastic that runs under the door has become brittle and is twisting and breaking off in small pieces due to high heat. There is also wiring that runs along the bottom of the door that goes into a junction plastic box. The wiring is melting and there is black coloring on the junction box. This looks like a fire waiting to happen and I will no longer use the dishwasher in this condition. There are many other Maytag washers that have been recalled due to fire concerns. I called Maytag customer service and they said it was not on their recall list and could not offer any remedy for repair or replacement.
