Russ for Model Number MD87749AWM1 Problem: All lights to right work for choosing cycle and options, only start cancel and delay hours would not light or start the dishwasher. Solution: After reading all the blogs for Control Panel I went to the Thermal Fuse blog because I thought this might be causing the problem. On the 2nd page of that Q/A blog I found that you can reset the control panel (all lights idle) by pressing heated dry then normal then heated dry and then normal. All lights lit up monentarly and then just start and cancel. I pressed start and the machine is running. Blog said to let it run the full cycle and this is not complete yet. Question?? Is this a temporary fix and will I need a new control panel or was this just a glitch in the software that needed to be reset? DW is only 14 months old.
Answer Hello Russ. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel is the issue. You can try removing the ribbon cable from the control board and see if you can get it to seat better and that is is good and dry. If so, this may fix the issue. Read More...
