So on to the next one. Looking at Maytag at the moment.
Any recommendations?

Watch what you buy, they all seem to come from the same place.
I have stayed on top of my Kitchen Aid. I too had a leak from a seal that came loose but fixed it right away. Lately, it hadn't been cleaning well at all. I called and saw the new KA has a screen insert for easy cleaning and the CS rep said mine had none. Well only half true. I pulled mine apart all the way down to the pump in the bottom. Only had to remover say 1/2 dozen items or so. Here is what I found, lots of scum, about 8 to 10 tooth picks, 2 chicken bones and one soda can top. No wonder the scum build up was there, the pump wasn't getting 100% of the water. So in the future, unless I buy the new KA model, I need to pull my apart say after 2 or 3 years and make sure all the crap isn't caught below.
