Parts for Maytag MDB4949SDM2: 03 - 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 is a dishwasher control panel. A display is included on the control panel for information about the dishwasher cycle. Users can select and change the settings for a cycle using this component.This is a durable control panel, but it has small parts and can experience damage or wear and tear. This may cause the buttons to stop working, prevent a cycle from starting, or cause the display to stop offering information. If these things occur, the control panel will need to be replaced. Before doing so, make sure the circuit breaker for the house is turned off or the dishwasher is unplugged. Basic tools and a pair of work gloves may be needed for the process. Take the original control panel off and install the new one with the wires in the same location before use.Designed for Maytag dishwashers, this component is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
