Wayne August 25, 2013 for Model Number MDB6709AWWo My dishwasher will not start. I can choose any option and they all light up but pressing the start button has no effect. The lights will stay on for about 40 seconds then turn off, the cycle lights do not lite up or does the start button lite. What part should I order?
1 Answer Hello Wayne. You need to check the door switches. If they are good, you will need to replace the control panel on the unit. Read More...
Bruce July 21, 2013 for Model Number MDBH979AWW2 My dishwasher will not start. I can choose any option and they all light up but pressing the start button has no effect. The lights will stay on for about 20 seconds then turn off. I have verified the door switch works and thermal fuse must also be good since there is power present. I have run the self diagnostic check and it appears to run but with a few points missing, sanitize light does not come on. I am assuming that the control card is bad but not completely convinced that the front panel start button is not at fault since the diagnostic test runs without the need to press it. Does the cycle timeout if the start button is not pressed within a certain time period? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Bruce. Yes, based on the information you provided, if the door switches are good, you will need to replace part number W10811156 the control panel. Read More...
Chris July 16, 2013 for Model Number MDB7749AWM1 When wanting to start the dishwasher the start button did not work. Called a repair service, and was told I need a new control panel. I looked up the part #W10298356, could this be what I need, Or something else. I have since turned off the breaker, turned it back on, closed the dishwasher door ,and heard something running, the wash light lit, and then all stopped. Can you give me a hint as what to do?
1 Answer Chris, Yes this issue does sound like it is a faulty control board but you would also want to check to make sure that the door latch is good and if so then replace the control board. Read More...
Dan June 29, 2013 for Model Number mdb7749aww1 I have a Maytag model mdb7749aww1. It won't start, none of the buttons work, no leds light up. * I checked power- good * I checked the door switch- good * I disconnected from power, unplugged the ribbon from the panel board, reconnected to power, shut the door- nothing * I disconnected from power, plugged in the ribbon, reconnected to power, shut the door and the drain pump runs for a couple minutes * disconnected from power, then reconnected to power, shut the door- nothing * disconnected from power, unplugged ribbon, reconnected ribbon, reconnected to power- the drain motor runs for a couple minutes. Could this be the fuse, or is it likely the contro; board?
1 Answer Dan, You've pretty much confirmed that you have a faulty control panel/key pad assembly W10811149 "1. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power. 2. Open the dishwasher door. 3. Open console and disconnect the keypad ribbon connection from the control (at P1). Make sure all other connections are made. 4. Put console back together. Do not close the dishwasher door. 5. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power. 6. Wait 5 sec. 7. Close dishwasher door. 8. Monitor the control’s response: If the control is OK (no longer sees shorts with the keypad unplugged), it will respond by turning on the Drain Motor for 2 minutes. Check and/or replace the keypad if the control responds OK. ?If the control is not OK (still sees shorts with the keypad unplugged), then the drain motor will NOT if the drain motor does not start within 10 sec, repeat or verify that all the steps were followed, then replace the control".

Randy June 22, 2013 for Model Number mdb7749awq2 Was wondering if there was a way to reset the control panel on this model. Most buttons work, but it will not start. I assume the door switch and fuse are good if I am getting lights. Could I be wrong about that? I took the cover off, and the cp# is w10298356. thanks for any help. I forgot to mention I turned power off to the washer for ten minutes. Didn't help. thanks
1 Answer Randy, You would be correct about the thermal fuse being good. If the thermal fuse were bad you would not have any lights. The door switch could be bad. You will want to test the switches on the latch assembly. If they are bad then the latch would need to be replaced. If the door switch checks ok then the control board would be the most likely cause.

Jeff June 14, 2013 for Model Number MDB7749AWQ1 The dishwasher stopped in the middle of the rinse cycle. now nothing works or lights up. I can't get the dishwasher to do anything. There is power to the dishwasher. I changed the control panel last year.
1 Answer Jeff, You will want to check power to the unit to make sure that you are getting 120 vac. Also check the thermal fuse in the control panel to make sure it has continuity. If no continuity then replace the thermal fuse and if there is continuity and you are getting 120 vac to the control board then the board would need to be replaced. Read More...
Michael M. June 09, 2013 for Model Number MDBH979AWW The only buttons that are functional on our unit are the "options" buttons the start/stop and "cycles" buttons do not work & the unit will not start. Do I need to replace the control panel or the electronic control board? Thank You Michael
1 Answer Michael, Your most likely issue is the control panel W10811156. "PROBLEM: Won’t Run or Power Up (“Dead” Keypad/Console) No operation No keypad response No LEDs or display > No power to unit or bad connection. Check fuses, circuit breakers, and junction box connections. Loose connections in dishwasher power up circuit or between keypad(s) and control." Read More...
Joe C June 07, 2013 for Model Number MDB7749AWB1 My dishwasher start button blinks. Washer will not start. Unplugged washer, pushed cancel button and nothing works.
1 Answer Joe, The start button flashing is an indication that the door is not closing properly. You will want to check to make sure that the door switch is making contact. Measure the resistance of the door switch contacts while checking the mechanical operations of the latch assembly. Confirm that the switch is not loose and check the strike plate and door closure. If this checks ok then replace the control. Read More...
John May 29, 2013 for Model Number MDBH979AWS4 All buttons on the display work except the cancel and start. I cut the power off to see if it reset with no luck . The board and the ribbion look good and the door switch is ok. Do I have a board problem or a start switch problem?
1 Answer Hello John. Based on the information you provided, the control panel W10811155 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
