Mike October 26, 2014 for Model Number MDBH979SAM1 Start light flashes. Found code 5-2. (door switch stuck closed?) Hit cancel drain button and unit will cycle thru drain. Select a wash cycle but will not start.
1 Answer Mike, If the error code is that the door switch is stuck closed would be caused by a faulty door latch assembly. The switch is showing closed and even when you open the door it is not showing that it opened. Read More...
Jim October 01, 2014 for Model Number MDBH979SAW1 My dishwasher will keep going through the cycle and not stop unless I hit cancel. Will also start on its own when door is shut and continue running. The start button will just continue flashing at times no matter what button I push. Is this most likely the control panel?
1 Answer Jim, With the start light just flashing continuously, the issue would be in the control panel W10811166. Sounds like the start key is faulty and sticking. Read More...

Jada August 24, 2014 for Model Number MDBH979SAM1 The repair technician told me the board was bad on the dishwasher. The light wash cycle light is lit and the heated dry light is lit and the start and wash light are flashing. The dishwasher will not start or turn off. Will this part fix this?
1 Answer Jada, The most likely cause for the issue with 2 lights coming on and then 2 flashing would be a stuck key on the control panel. The part number for the control panel is W10811169. Read More...

Kelley July 13, 2014 for Model Number MDBH979SAB1 This dishwasher does not allow me to select any wash cyles anymore and the cancel/drain button stays on all the time and I cannot shut the door because it will start draining and will never shut off. I was wondering if it is the main control board that has gone bad on this model? Thank you!
1 Answer Kelley, The control board W10486463 is a good possibility, but it more likely to be an issue in the control panel / keypad assembly W10811164. The cancel/drain keypad circuit has failed and the control board is "stuck" in the drain/cancel program. Read More...
