Mohammad March 14, 2014 for Model Number MDB7749AWM2 The "Start/Resume" button dose not work while the other buttons light when I press them. I ran the diagnostic cycle and the button worked throughout the cycle. I called and it was recommended to replace the board "W10298356". Is this correct or I need to order the control panel.
1 Answer Mohammad, With the start key working during the service key test but not during the normal operation then the control board W11202746 would be the issue. Read More...
Ed February 24, 2014 for Model Number MBD7749AWM1 I have to press/tap the start button numerous times before it finally starts. My diagnosis, faulty control panel needs replacing.Whats yours?
1 Answer Ed, We'd have to agree with you. the "start" keypad on the control panel W10811151 has started to degrade and is making partial contacts in the circuit. Replacing the control panel/keypad assembly will solve the issue. Read More...
Sol February 20, 2014 for Model Number MDB7609AWS2 I just ordered a control panel and a control board for a Maytag dishwasher model MDB7609AWS2 from your company. The dishwasher sometimes won't start. Power cycling it and doing a reset sequence usually doesn't help get it working again. Using the information in the diagnostic sheet behind the kick panel, I tested both the keypad (all continuity tests were good) and all of its LEDs lit during the service diagnostic cycle. With the keypad ribbon cable disconnected, the control board ran the drain motor for 2 minutes, suggesting that was also good, though that's a pretty minimal test. I would like to know which of these two parts would you replace first, to see if that fixes the dishwasher? If that does it, I will return the other part. If not, I will replace both parts. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Sol, With testing the keypad being good and all the lights coming on during the diagnostics then the control board would most likely be the cause even though it ran through a 2 min drain. Read More...
Craig January 26, 2014 for Model Number mdbh979aws3 had to replace front pannel couple months ago. Suddenly, dishwasher quit working mid wash. No lights on panel, etc. What and how should I check? Thanks
Aimee January 09, 2014 for Model Number MDB7709AWS2 I purchased a new control panel installed it, and the dishwasher is still dead in the water....Should I just scrap the dishwasher? I don't want to pay another repair man to come out.
1 Answer Hello Aimee. No, it sounds like the fuse W10258275 needs to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Steve January 01, 2014 for Model Number MDB7749AWB1 When we select a cycle, the correct lights work--BUT when we press the start button OR the cancel button machine does not start nor does it drain--(there is no water in it). Could the hi-temp fuse be the cause--or would all lights be out? Other than that, I can only assume that the control panel (p/n W10298356) has some type of problem. I do note that the female receptacle for the door closer is very loose and the door really does not latch closed correctly. That happened after I tried to move it manually with a flat blade screwdriver. (MY FAULT) Doesn't explain why machine start light and sequence wouldn't light and machine wouldn't start.. Was intermittent for a couple of days--then finally stopped entirely.
1 Answer Steve, If the "hi-temp fuse" was the issue, the dishwasher would not function and the LED's would not illuminate. Your suggestion of the control panel [W10356466] is on target (not the control board). When you dismantle the door, to access and replace the control panel, you'll need to check to see if you damaged the door latch WPW10404412 assembly or just moved something out of alignment.

Barbara W November 18, 2013 for Model Number mdb 7609aww1 Dishwasher dies in mid wash. I have replaced the front button control before. Checked door switch. There is power from there to the other control panel. Where is the thermal reset? Is my control panel or strip bad? Nothing lights up or works?
1 Answer Barbara, This issue would be caused by a faulty control board. The thermal cutoff is not resettable and if it were to go out the unit would not operate at all. Read More...

Vicki September 30, 2013 for Model Number MDB7749AWM2 Dishwasher needs the electronic control board. I am unsure how to remove ribbon from the control panel and install the new ribbon that is attached to the new control. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Vicki. You access the ribbon cable and pull it off the spades of the control board. You may have to wiggle it back and forth slightly to release and pull it off the board. Read More...
1 Answer Janice, the control panel is part number W10811155. If you need the electronic board behind the panel it is part number W11202746. Thanks! Read More...
