Dale May 21, 2011 for Model Number MDB6601AWB My dish washer computer seams to be confused. The buttons when pushed are erratic and do not launch desired selection. Sometime when I press regular wash button it will automatically go to another selection. Then when I try to cancel it will not cancel until there is a long delay. I think it is the Control board. Would you agree? If so I will start with ordering a Control board kit.
1 Answer Hello Dale. From what your describing, it sounds like the control panel 6-919822 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ted May 09, 2011 for Model Number MDB6601AWW... serial 37608559LR Touchpad assembly lights up when pressing different operations, but not all. Then the unit does not start. Some operations light up, but nothing makes the unitstart. How can I diagnose what part is bad?
1 Answer Hello Ted. Use a meter and test the control panel 6-919822 and make sure none of the buttons are sticking. If they are, you will need to replace the control panel. If they are good, you will need to replace the control board. If you need the control board, we will need your serial number to determine which board you will need. Below is a test for the buttons on the panel. You can test this with a multi-meter AP3440648. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Bob A. May 09, 2011 for Model Number MDBM601AWB When start button pushed, it fills with hot water then runs for a short time then stops, then runs a short time then stops. This goes on for a few times then all the lights go out. If the start button is pushed again it repeats the same. Pumps the water out, then refills and does the same. Then sometimes when this goes on for several times the washer runs the full cycle.

John March 26, 2011 for Model Number mdb5600awb My Maytag washer does not drain at the end of the cycle. We see standing water that is dirty that the dishes are rinsed with . UGH! water does drain, but we don't know if it fully drains between each cycle. since water does come I I would think that it is the controller? right? I installed it years ago so I am pretty handy with replacing parts.
1 Answer Hello John. There are a few issues that could be causing this problem. Here are a few things to check. 1. Air gap / Drain hoses If there is an air gap (located in the sink, near the faucet), check to see if it is clogged. Unscrew the top cap and see if there is anything blocking inside. Note: If there is no air gap installed, the dishwasher might not drain properly. If the drain hose is clogged, the dishwasher would not drain. If there is an air gap installed, it is very common that a hose going from the air gap into the garbage disposer is clogged. Remove and clean the hose. Make sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher. Note: If you recently had a garbage disposer installed, it is common to overlook removing the drain plug. 2. Broken belt Some dishwasher models use a belt to drive the pump. Replace the belt if found broken. Note: Sometimes the belt would just come off the pump. Even though it might not be broken, it is recommended that you replace the belt, because it is probably too stretched out. 3. Pump Some models have two impellers inside the pump - one, wash impeller, takes care of the wash cycles, the other, drain impeller, drains the water out. If the drain impeller is broken (broken blades, shaft), the dishwasher would not drain. Replace any broken pump components. 4. Drain solenoid Some models (for example most GE dishwashers) use a drain solenoid to drain water out. Sometimes the solenoid gets stuck, preventing the water from draining out. Try to free up the solenoid. If unsuccessful, you might have to replace the pump assembly. 5. Motor If the motor is stuck, it is sometimes possible to free it up by manually spinning the motor. Replace the motor if defective. 6. Timer or electronic control. Replace if defective (note: uncommon problem). Hope this helps Read More...
Guest March 17, 2011 for Model Number mdbm601awq I have power to the unit, but no lights come on when door is closed. Any help appreciated!
1 Answer Hello. Check the latch assembly WPW10130695 and make sure it is working correctly. If so, try removing the ribbon cable from the control board and cleaning it. If there is still no lights, you may have a bad control board. Hope this helps. Read More...
