Reddit r/Appliances: "18 month old Maytag stainless steel dishwasher failed, will cost near as much as it cost new". Worked flawlessly until under 18 months after installation, then did nothing after restarts/breaker reset with no error codes. Local tech (~$125 service call) concluded either computer or main pump failed; owner discarded ~$800 unit rather than replace expensive parts that may fail again.
