Bob M. for Model Number MDB8951AWW Would a defective door switch keep the start/cancel light from being lit? The door has to be open in-order to push the start buttons. (All of the buttons are on top of the door). Is there any other sensors in the system that would prevent the start of the dishwasher i.e water pressure switch?
Answer Hello Bob. It won't prevent the light from working, but can prevent the dishwasher from starting. It sounds like the control panel is the problem. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, July 23, 2011
