Aaron for Model Number MDB5601AWW Have a Maytag quiet series 300 that is baffling. Originally, washer would fill then start up with three short runs from the motor and totally shut off. We Put a new circuit board in it and it ran fine for about 20 days or so and then went back to doing the same thing. We could not run test on the control panel and the lights were doing funky thins so they said we needed a touch panel. Put that in and no go (Same thing)but we were able to run the test to get a 'Motor - High Current' error. Read all the horror stories about the motor being bad with this error but I thought I would swap out the old / originl circuit board as a last ditch effort. Well it started and stayed running on the original board we thought was bad. It runs but seems a little off its normal game (like when your car has a slight miss)but is is possible the new board went bad and or is there something else going on that I may be overlooking? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Answer Aaron, The "high current" error can be caused by several conditions, low water level, detergent, rinse aid "foaming" it's not necessarily a motor issue. You may want to run some dishwasher cleaner through the unit W10501250 to clean out any build up or deposits. Check that the dishwasher is filling properly (start the dishwasher and allow it to run 3 to 5 minutes, unlatch and open the door , the water level should be 1/2 way up to coverring the heater element, if it's filling proper. You most likely had a faulty touchpad assembly, and you may have installed the incorrect new control board, and it could have been faulty, as well. Once you doo the other checks and clean out the dishwasher, you'll probably be fine. Thanks Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, July 5, 2012
