Maytag® Top control dishwasher with Third Level Rack and Dual Power Filtration MDB8959SKB
Dual Power FiltrationSkip soaking, scrubbing and pre-rinsing with Maytag engineering that puts an end to pre-work. Industry-exclusive Dual Power Filtration combines 100% microfiltration and a 4-blade stainless steel chopper to filter out then dispose of any food in its path.
PowerBlast® cycleThe PowerBlast® cycle scours away stubborn foods like egg yolk, peanut butter and even dried-on oatmeal with ease. High-pressure jets, rotating spray arm, and increased water temperatures work together to clear food off dishes—so all you have to do is load them in.
3rd Level RackPut more than utensils in the Maytag® 3rd Level Rack Wash Zone. With a specialized wash zone and wash arms, get more room for mugs and bowls, this distinct design brings more loading space and cleaning power straight to the top of the dishwasher.*
*Compared to Maytag® model MDB4949SK.
Heated DryGet cabinet-ready dishes, right from the dishwasher. The Heated Dry option uses heated drying to muscle out moisture. Long and short cycle options let you adjust drying time to get the job done right.
Long Heated Dry optionUp the temperature with an internal heater to reduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher. The Long Heated Dry option gets large loads of dishes nice and dry.
Short Heated Dry optionReduce excess moisture inside your dishwasher and get smaller loads of dishes nice and dry in less time.
10-year limited parts warranty on the racks, chopper blade and stainless steel tubMaytag® dishwashers are covered by a 10-year limited parts warranty on the racks, chopper blade and stainless steel tub. So when we say you can count on your dishwasher for years, we mean it.
MaxTubWith the largest capacity tub in the market* at 7.25 cu. ft., the MaxTub gets more dishes done at once, including bulky pots and pans, so there’s no need for a second load.
*Based on usable volume.
Sani Rinse optionAdd serious sanitization to any wash cycle. After washing is complete, the Sani Rinse option delivers a high-temperature rinse that removes 99.99% of food soil bacteria from dishes and glassware.
Fingerprint resistant stainless steelEasy-to-clean, fingerprint resistant stainless steel resists smudges and streaks to keep your dishwasher looking as good on the outside as it works on the inside.
Touch controlsYou’re in control with a simple tap of your finger. Smooth, tap-to-activate settings give you quick and seamless access to powerful cleaning.
Leak DetectThe Leak Detect system is a combination of multiple features that measure and monitor the flow of water at various points. If a problem is sensed, the unit can take action by draining the tub and alerting you when necessary.
Leak Identification SystemThe Leak Identification system helps detect most types of leaks. If it identifies a problem, the dishwasher will stop filling, drain the tub and alert you that service is needed.*
*Will not detect leaks from the water inlet, tub drain connections and hoses or leaks due to cracked tubs or doors.
