What I mean is do they carry specific lines of Maytag, GE, Amana, etc appliances that are only sold in Home Depot stores?
The reason why I am asking is because we bought a Maytag 300 dishwasher there 20 months ago and it is already dead from issues with the control panel. It is just as much money to repair so we decided to replace it instead. Even though the Depot has the best prices, I’m wondering if we should continue buying there because maybe their products are so inexpensive is because they are CHEAP. Would we have better luck with quality of product if we bought from a large but locally owned appliance store instead?

No. They are contracted by the supplier had are bid with the best price and quality. The supplier buys the products from the manufacture. The supplier also controls the type of inventory Home Depot can have so not to have conflict from the other stores that carry the same but different model numbers.

A Maytag is a Maytag is a Maytag. Prices for Maytag’s are set by the manufacturer. Most appliance lines allow for some flexibility from one dealer to the next but not so with Maytag.
I have checked this out for myself. So the question comes down to service – buy local for the same price.

This may be a common problem for this model – http://www.fixya.com/support/t288327-maytag_quiet_series_300
I would buy a different model or brand.
Consumers Report is a possible source in helping you decide which brand and model is best for you. Unfortunately, you have to pay a membership fee to get info on-line.
I did a quick look at CR and their survey scored Lowes as the best place to buy and GE outscored Maytag.
Best wishes for getting the best for your money.

No. Home Depot sells brand names.
Let me tell you something about Maytag. They have sold out to Whirlpool, which I perceive to be an inferior brand. Maytag products are not what they used to be.

Speaking as someone who was not so recently fired from the Home Depot, I’d still buy your appliances there, but then don’t buy the cheapest thing…or the one with the most gimmicks. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, so the more there are to go wrong, the more will go wrong. And our kitchens department always had more than its fair share of complaints when it came to appliances. Appliance producers are very competitive, so they’ll be throwing in a lot of cheap “attention grabbers” in hopes of getting your cash. And as much as I hate to admit it, GE is probably your best bet, LG is second…whatever…Appliances are the only thing in the world I’d actually get the extended service plans on… OR Sears has a really good warranty service, but YEAH, you’re paying for it. Whether it’s worth it or not is up to you.
And I think the only product lines that Home Depot owns are Ridgid, Ryobi, and Husky. There may be more. BEHR paint (rules!) is exclusive, but not owned by the depot. There are a few other exclusives, but I can’t remember.
