Russ May 11, 2012 for Model Number MD87749AWM1 Problem: All lights to right work for choosing cycle and options, only start cancel and delay hours would not light or start the dishwasher. Solution: After reading all the blogs for Control Panel I went to the Thermal Fuse blog because I thought this might be causing the problem. On the 2nd page of that Q/A blog I found that you can reset the control panel (all lights idle) by pressing heated dry then normal then heated dry and then normal. All lights lit up monentarly and then just start and cancel. I pressed start and the machine is running. Blog said to let it run the full cycle and this is not complete yet. Question?? Is this a temporary fix and will I need a new control panel or was this just a glitch in the software that needed to be reset? DW is only 14 months old.
1 Answer Hello Russ. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel is the issue. You can try removing the ribbon cable from the control board and see if you can get it to seat better and that is is good and dry. If so, this may fix the issue. Read More...
Mary April 15, 2012 for Model Number MDB7809AAW2 My Maytag dishwasher fills with water and gets stuck it won't go to the next cycle it just hums. I can press cancel and it will drain. Coule this be the circut board?
1 Answer Mary, You wouled want to start by checking voltage to the wash motor with a multimeter. You could have a bad motor winding or something stuck in the wash motor/pump impeller, that would cause the motor to hum and not run. Do you rember a broken article in the dishwasher, or something similar. The drain motor 9 to drain the machine) is a separate assembly, and we know that one works. Here's some meter usage information : [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html] and your technical data sheet and diagram, are usually attached to the backside of the kickplate on the dishwasher. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Kevin April 02, 2012 for Model Number MDB6709AWS - SN FY4202240 Currently, my Auto Clean Plus, Heavy, Normal, Light buttons are selectable - but rinse-only is not. When I click any of the buttons that work, Tough Scrub Plus and Heated Dry light up - but I can't de-select them and I can't get hi-temp wash or sanitize or delay hours to light up. And of course I can't get start or cancel/drain to run/light. I did open up the door and tested for power at various points - including the switch all positive. When I first took things apart and held the door switches down manually - everything seemed to work - so then I put everything back together and it wasn't working. So I thought it was the door-switches - I dismanteled everything again but now even if I hold the door-switches manually it still is not working... why did it work the first time I did that. I also pulled the ribbon-cable from where it connects to the control board and re-attached it.... the cable doesn't looked kinked or damaged in any way. Everything points to the control board vs the keypad - but I've read others that replaced their control board only to still have it not working properly. If the control-board doesn't resolve the issue can I return it?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel W10811152 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Phil March 30, 2012 for Model Number mdbh989awb2 My dishwasher would not start after pressing the start button. All other buttons lit up. A few times I got it to start by pushing the start button many times but then not even when I did that. After that the three lights to the left of the panel heavy, normal and light would not come on when pushed. Based on what I read here I ordered a control module AP4588346 (W10298356) and still have the same exact problem. PLEASE help
1 Answer Hi Phil. I would use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist. you in your diagnosis. Remove the inner door panel. Look at where the door latch connects to the keypad console assy. Are you getting the supplied house voltage at the black wire and the white wire coming up from the units junction box there on one side of the switch (Common switch terminal)? Ten with the switch closed you should get the same voltage out and then it will feed the round thermal fuse incoming on the board top. This is fuse part # W10258275. If you have an open fuse this is why. Use the supplied tech sheet in the lower kick plate. Thank You. Read More...

Phillip March 07, 2012 for Model Number MDB7809AWW2 Dishwasher will not start. When I press any of the wash selection buttons (heavy/normal) the heated drying light comes on but the washer will not start. After 30-45 seconds the heated dry light will go out. None of the keypad lights blink at any time. Is the control module or control panel the most probable cause?

Scott M January 07, 2012 for Model Number MDBH989AWQ3 Maytag Dishwasher Model# MDBH989AWQ3 The dishwasher doesn't turn on "Sometimes" (serial# FY4601375 I know I have power to the unit because some of the lights will come on when I press them, The DRAIN button works as usual but when I press the NORMAL button, the light doesn't come on and nothing happens. When I press the LIGHT or HEAVY buttons, those lights come on as if I can select them but when I hit the START button, nothing happens. I assume the door switch is working because the DRAIN PUMP works. I was informed that be pressing these buttons in this sequence SANITIZE-HEATED DRY-SANITIZE-HEATED DRY that would reset the control board and after doing that, sometimes the NORMAL light will turn on but very lightly (hard to even see)but sometimes it still won't work. What part should I replace?
1 Answer Scott, you most likely have a faulty control panel / key pad assembly W10811159 "PROBLEM: One or More Keys Won’t Respond - Open key or LED circuit(s) on the keypad, or open circuits on the control to the keys and LEDs.- OPERATION A rapidly blinking LED over one of the keys of the keypad (or sometimes a “dead” keypad/console) indicates one or more key switch lines are stuck or shorted on either the control or the keypad. To determine if the control or keypad is faulty, do the following test: 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."
