Ed November 12, 2019 for Model Number MDB7749AWQ2 The vent and soap dispenser doors do not open. I have been just throwing a pod in and using the normal cycle. Cleans OK, but the soap door should not open right away, and the interior stays wet because of the vent not working. I had replaced the soap dispenser (the old one had a burned up solenoid). The control panel was replaced under a recall recently. With the dispenser and control panel having been replaced, could the control panel be the cause of these symptoms?
1 Answer Ed, the vent WPW10164259 solenoid can be tested for resistance (with power to the dishwasher off) and it should measure between 600 to 1800 ohms of resistance. The dispenser can be tested for voltage during a normal cycle wash. At 9 minutes 15 seconds into the cycle, the main control W11202746 should send 120VAC to the dispenser solenoid. If 120VAC does not reach the dispenser, then the wires would need to be tested for continuity and inspected for loose connections. If the wires check good then the issue would be in the main control.

April January 26, 2019 for Model Number MDB7749AWW1 Dishwasher will not start. Start button keeps flashing. I've replaced the fuse, circuit board and control panel. when I "reset" all light stay on. I can cancel and turn off lights. I try to push a wash cycle and then the Start button -- nothing but then the Start button keeps flashing. Any other ideas? Door latch seems to work ok.
1 Answer April, Test the door switches on the unit as they may be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Attila January 08, 2019 for Model Number MDBH979AWS4 Hi I have this dishwasher and doesn’t turn on . I checked the thermal fuse it works and also the door switch works. . The locked hold to lock is on a little lite. But nothing else works none of the buttons. If I push any other button than it like blinking a little. What do you think could be the problem needs a new control panel? Thank you. Attila
1 Answer Attila, access the control board, close the door and press start, check for 120 volts at pins P11-1 to P11-3. If no voltage, replace the control board. Read More...
John March 02, 2018 for Model Number MDB7709AWW2 Dish washer will not work. The steam clean, hi temp, heated dry,sanitize will light up and turn off when you press them but that is it nothing else works. Checked the door latch and therm. fuse both work. Is it the electron control board or the push button panel?
1 Answer John, With everything working on the unit but will not start then this will most likely be caused by a faulty control board on the unit. Read More...
Alina September 30, 2017 i replaced the control board today but all the buttons still don't work. The cycle buttons on the left side are still not operational, therefore it won't start. Any ideas what causes this problem? I tried a reset after the control board install, but that didn't solve the problem.
1 Answer Alina, With the buttons not working then this will most likely be caused by a faulty control panel on the unit. Read More...

Vaia December 29, 2016 for Model Number MDBH979AWS3 I need to replace the motherboard for my dishwasher. Is this the correct part I need? It only show the case in the image. Does a motherboard come with it? I just want to be sure before I place my order. Thank you!
1 Answer Vaia, Yes, the W11202746 / WPW10298356 Electronic Control Board, is the correct part to order for the model number you supplied. The part is in stock and available at this time. Yes the assembly does contain the printed circuit board and access to the connectors and is encased by the plastic housing. Thanks, Read More...
Billy September 26, 2016 for Model Number MDBH979AWB3 My dishwasher is dead it had couple of lights on so i tried to reset it but after couple weeks I tried to work on it again but now it's completely dead there are no lights on.
1 Answer Billy, The first thing that you will want to check is at the control board to ensure that there is 120 vac getting to the board. If there is then you will want to check the ribbon connector from the touchpad to the control board for signs of corrosion and if there is then clean the contacts and reseat. If this checks ok then the control board would likely be the cause for this issue. Read More...
Sean August 25, 2016 for Model Number MDBH979AWS3 I recently replaced the touch panel as the start button was no longer working. After replacing it, the detergent lid hasnt always been opening, and when it does, there is a lot of left over detergent residue in the area. We use the pods, not liquid. I have cleaned the area with vinegar and run the dishwasher empty on high heat to try and clean everything but that still doesnt work. Please let me know what is causing this. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Sean. It sounds like the water is not circulating properly in the unit. You will need to make sure your filters are clean and the water is filling up to the proper level in the unit. If not, you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Fausto July 13, 2016 for Model Number Maytag MDB7749AWM2 The Start light turns on for about 30 seconds then starts to blink. We replaced the control panel about 18 months ago. Ordered the same part after seeing some corrosion on the green strip. replacing the control panel did not fix the problem.
1 Answer Hello Fausto. Check and see if the door switches are bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
