Parts for Maytag MDB4409PAB2: 02 - Control Panel And Latch Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This miniature door switch is the snap-action interlock that tells the appliance when the door is closed. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop and proper door-status sensing for safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Acts as the latch/interlock sensor for door open/closed status
• Signals the control to allow or prevent operation based on door position
• Typical symptoms include: won't start or shows a door message, stops when the door is bumped, or light/fan behavior doesn't match door position

• 1 miniature door switch

• Disconnect power before servicing. If working on a microwave, high voltage may be present even when unplugged—properly discharge the capacitor.
• Access the latch/interlock area; note wire positions and transfer one lead at a time to the new switch.
• Use a multimeter to confirm the switch changes continuity when pressed before reassembly.

A door latch assembly that secures the appliance door and allows the control to detect a closed, locked condition so cycles can start and run. Replaces a worn or broken latch to restore proper door closure and reliable cycle operation. What it does:

• Prevents the door from opening mid-cycle for safe operation
• Commonly used when the door won't stay closed or won't register as closed
• Helps stop issues where the unit won't start or won't advance through a cycle due to a faulty latch

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before beginning any repair
