Hi,
Yes, there was a product recall for your Dishwasher due to fire hazard. Please visit the following pages for further information:
https://repair.maytag.com/repair/dishwasher.jsp?siteCd=MT_EN_US
https://repair.maytag.com/repair/dish_faq.jsp?siteCd=MT_EN_US
The list includes model numbers beginning MDB7 with serial numbers ending in YM, so yours is one of the units affected.
With regard to repair / replacement / compensation, Maytag state the following:
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using these dishwashers, disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it and inform all users of the dishwasher about the risk of fire. Contact Maytag for either a free in-home repair, or a $75 cash back reimbursement following the purchase of a new Maytag®, Jenn-Air®, Whirlpool® or KitchenAid® dishwasher. Consumers should not return the dishwasher to the retailer where it was purchased, as retailers are not prepared to take units back.
Consumer Contact: For more information, contact Maytag Corporation at
(800) 675-0535 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at
www.repair.maytag.com.
Hope this helps - I would advise phoning them on the number above to find out what your exact position is as this recall was issued in 2007. However, there should not be any time limitations on claims and this still appears to be an active recall. They have admitted the dishwashers are dangerous and thereby accepted liability.
Regards,

I have scanned my MAF 1200 AAW manual and would be happy to send a copy.
