Jim July 29, 2025 for Model Number MDB7749SAW0 My maytag dish washer model mdb7749saw0 won't go through the cycles, but I can make the drain pump run, and the start light keeps flashing. I'm trying to decide wheather it's the board or the control panel.
1 Answer Jim, Thank you for your question. It would be recommended to check the door latch switches to make sure that they are good and if they are then this will most likely be a faulty control board which is part number W10486463. Read More...
Mike September 04, 2024 for Model Number mdb8959skz My dishwasher has completely stopped working. I have gotten to the point where I want to check a thermal fuse (checked power, reset, etc) but I am unable to locate one. Do these dishwashers have a thermal fuse or would the next step be a control board?
1 Answer Hello Mike, thank you for contacting APP, There is a thermal fuse built onto the main control board W11410066, if the unit is totally unresponsive it is likely the control will need to be replaced. Read More...
Chris October 11, 2022 for Model Number MDBH979SAM0 I have a Maytag MDBH979SAM0 that after a few days the lights go solid and I can't change any settings however it will still run a cycle. If I unplug the unit it resets and lasts a few days. What may cause this? Thanks!
1 Answer Hey Chris, What we commonly find is the ribbon cable connected to the front console gets moisture and shorts out. If you remove the console and take the control board out you will probably find dark areas in the green ribbon cable. It should be clear and see thru. If you find this you will need to replace the console depending on color. Read More...
Fran February 13, 2021 for Model Number MDBH979SAM1 At first, the normal wash button would not work. All other buttons work correctly. Now no buttons work on the control panel and will the dishwasher will not turn on. I'm thinking I am going to have to replace the control panel.
1 Answer Hello Fran, If there are no poor connections from the control panel to the control board, the control panel W10811164 would be the most likely cause. Read More...
Ken July 13, 2020 for Model Number mdb7749saq0 4 lights flashing on control panel, and won't clear. checked door switch, it checked ok. Can unplug unit but will go right back to flashing when powered up. I suspect the console key panel. It is #1 on the parts diagram, but does not show up down below for part number and price. Any thoughts that it may be the board instead? If not, what is the part number and cost of the panel. Thanks, Ken
Steve February 19, 2019 for Model Number MDB7749SBM3 Loaded the unit to start a wash and there were no lights on the panel. Unplugged, verified that voltage at the outlet was there. The unit is ~4 years old and other than this, has worked great up until now. advice? Thanks
1 Answer Steve, check for 120 volts AC at the control board, pins P4-1 and P4-2, if voltage is there, you may have a control that is no longer sending power to the display. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Ken. Based on the information you provided it sounds like the control panel is bad and will need to be replaced. Thank you. Read More...
Jrw3150 August 13, 2017 for Model Number MDB7749SAMO Replaced touch pad last year everything worked well. Now when washing, the unit washes briefly, then drains, sounds like pump is running dry, then goes into rinse cycle but no water refills the machine, dishes not washed properly and not rinsed at all. We checked to see if water was in machine when it started to wash and it was full, leads me to believe solenoid is working. Any thoughts?
1 Answer JRW3150, You will want to check to see if there is power getting to the motor if it will fill with water but not circulate. If the motor is getting power but no circulating then check to make sure that there is nothing causing the impeller to not work or a damaged impeller. If this checks ok then the motor would be the issue. If there is no power getting to the motor then this will be a faulty control board. Read More...
Igor G July 03, 2017 for Model Number #MDB7749SBM The dishwasher is 3 years old and worked perfectly. Last month it stopped responding on button press. I disconnected the device from power and reset it. The operation restored. However, it appeared again but I was able to fix it the same way. Yesterday It stopped working again but resetting didn't help. When I restore power all the lights turns on, flashing for a few seconds and shut off. After that the device doesn't react on any button press. I am not sure what I have to change - the electronic block or control panel.
1 Answer Igor, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty main control board W10486463. Read More...
Larry January 28, 2017 for Model Number MDB7749SBM3 Cannot change settings or start dishwasher. Lights will come on , 2hr delay is on cant change or it just turns off. Hoe do I check the electronic control board
1 Answer Larry, Unfortunately there is not a way to test the control board for the issue that you are having but this would be more likely an issue with the control panel of the unit over the control board. Read More...
