1. Kitchen and Components

No opinion is offered as to the adequacy of dishwasher operation. Ovens, self or continuous cleaning operations, cooking functions, clocks, timing devices, lights and thermostatically controlled devices are not inspected for accuracy during this inspection. No warranty or guarantee is issued or implied.

Maytag Corp. issued a recall of 7.1 million dishwashers sold under the MAYTAG, AMANA, JENN-AIR, ADMIRAL, MAGIC CHEF, PERFORMA by Maytag, and CROSLEY brands after reports of fires starting due to electrical problems with the heating elements as reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in June 2010.

All the recalled dishwashers have plastic interiors and were sold nation wide between February 2006 thru April 2010 for between $250 & $900. They came in either black, bisque, white, silver or stainless front panels.

To determine if you have one of these recalled dishwashers, look for the model and serial numbers on the Left side of the door opening.

The recalled machines will have serial numbers starting with any of the following:

NW39, NW40, NW41, NW42, NW43, NW44, NW45, NW46, NW47, NW48, NW49, NW50, NW51, NY01, NY02, NY03, NY04, NY05, NY06, NY07, NY08, NY09, NY10, NY11, NY12, NY13, NY14, NY15, NY16, NY17, NY18, NY19 or Ending with any of the following: JC, JE, JG, JJ, JL, JN, JP, JR, JT, JV, JX, LA, LC, LE, LG, LJ, LL, LN, LP, LT, LV, LX, NA, NC, NE, NG, NJ, NL, NN, NP, NR.

If you have one of these dishwashers, you are urged to stop using it immediately and disconnect the power supply by either shutting off it's circuit breaker or by pulling out it's fuse.

Maytag will repair the recalled machines in-house or provide a rebate if a consumer decided to buy certain new models with stainless steel interiors. To schedule a repair or get a rebate, call MAYTAG @ 1-800-544-5513 or go to the company's recall site.

Comments:

8.2 Although it may not have been plumbing code when the hot water heater was installed, a gas line sediment trap on the gas line prior to the appliance is recommended. This is recommended to protect the water heater system and prolong the life span of the component. A gas line sediment trap shall be provided on the gas line downstream of the shut off valve and as close to the inlet of the equipment as practical. CA PLUMBING CODE 1212.8. Recommend repairs by a licensed tradesman.

8.5 Water pressure is low. Optimum pressure is between 60-80 P.S.I. Recommend to contact the water municipal for a further inspection

8.6 The main shut off is the yellow lever located in garage. This is for your information. These controls are not turned or operated as to not to disturb the natural seating.

8.7 (1) Recommend a catch/drain pan with a drain under the hot water heater

8.7 (2) Water softener system was not inspected. Interested parties may want to inquire with the supplier of the equipment.

8.7 (3) Drain line for the water softener has been pierced thru the stucco

The plumbing in the home was inspected and reported on with the above information. While the inspector makes every effort to find all areas of concern, some areas can go unnoticed. Washing machine drain line for example cannot be checked for leaks or the ability to handle the volume during drain cycle. Older homes with galvanized supply lines or cast iron drain lines can be obstructed and barely working during an inspection but then fails under heavy use. If the water is turned off or not used for periods of time (like a vacant home waiting for closing) rust or deposits within the pipes can further clog the piping system. Please be aware that the inspector has your best interest in mind. It is recommended that qualified contractors be used in your further inspection or repair issues as it relates to the comments in this inspection report.
