Ken November 09, 2015 for Model Number dw7933lrasr-aa No water comes into dishwasher. Water is on and water is verified to the dishwasher inlet.
1 Answer Hello Ken. Check the float and float switch. If both are good, then you will need to replace the water valve is there is power to the valve, but no water. 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...
Patty August 20, 2015 for Model Number MDBH950AWB The lights on the dishwasher panel will come on but the washer will not run on any of the cycles. If you push the Start/cancel button the water will pump out then shut down.
1 Answer Hello Patty. Based on the information you provided, the control panel 6-917726 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Tonya June 17, 2015 for Model Number Samsung DW 7933LRASR/AA We recently gutted and remodeled an old house. We purchased our Samsung dishwasher, installed it, and it sat in the kitchen for about 9 months before we moved in, in December. The dishwasher quit in February, displaying the heavy and the smart auto lights. According to the guide, this was a functional error. More specifically, an over-level water error. We turned the water and the breaker off Samsung sent someone out, 3 weeks later, and the guy turned the water on, I flipped the breaker, he hit start, and it ran completely through a short cycle. He said, "It's working," and left. Now, we have the same problem, and Samsung won't help. Is this fixable, or should we just buy a new dishwasher, that is not a Samsung?
1 Answer Hello Tonya. You will need to check the float DD94-01006A and make sure nothing is causing it not to float and read properly. Also, make sure it is moving freely. 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...
Beth June 14, 2015 for Model Number MDBH955AWQ serial # 42971920NN My dishwasher has become unresponsive. There are no lights on the front panel that are lit up. There is no response when I push any of the buttons. This dishwasher has never had any problems. The power is fine going into the dishwasher, checked all that. Through my research it could be the door latch (seems to be fine), control panel, or control board, HELP. Do I need to order all three to figure out my problem part? I did get a recall on this model, but it has never really had any problem until now. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Beth, You can verify the door switches WP99002751 with a test meter and remove and inspect the ribbon cable from the control panel. If it appears corroded, it will need to be cleaned with a dry pencil eraser and should only be rubbed with it toward the end of the ribbon cable to avoid damage to it. If excessive corrosion is noticed, check the vent seal WP99003222 for leaks. If the unit is sitting level with all four feet contacting the floor and secured properly to the cabinet, the door should be striking the cabinet front squarely and activating the door switches. The last suspect will be the control (WPW10218825 for series 35 and lower), (WPW10218837 for series 36 or higher). As a note, the series number is the first two digits of the serial number.

Dan June 12, 2015 for Model Number MDB6600AWW Water sometimes enters the unit. In test mode, I can cycle the water inlet valve once. After that I cannot and using meter, no voltage to the valve (or the inline float) or at the pin on the control board. Board replaced about 5 years ago by service man. Looks like I need a new board again. Do you agree? As an electrical engineer, I see that this valve is probably controlled by a solid state switch or SCR. Can I get a schematic of the board anywhere. I hate to spend $100+ for a $2 part and add to the landfill.
1 Answer Dan, You would be correct that if there is no power to the pin at the board for the inlet valve when calling for water that the control board is defective. Unfortunately the schematic for the board is not available as this is not information that the manufacturer releases. Unless you are able to test the board and figure out which component has failed, the board would need to be replaced. Read More...
John March 06, 2015 for Model Number mdb849sbb2 My control lock blinks then stays lite. You can not run any cycle.
1 Answer Hello John. Is sounds like either the control panel or the board is bad on the unit. Try holding the button to clear off the lock light. If it does not go away, and the button is good, replace the board. If the button is bad, you will need to replace the control panel. Read More...
Russ January 14, 2015 for Model Number Maytag quiet series 300 The dishwasher flooded our kitchen today. At first I thought the drain system was plugged but after I turned the breaker off to the dishwasher I noticed water was still be pumped into it. I closed the water supply valve, turned the breaker back on and then ran a rinse cycle and hit start twice to skip to the drain which worked. I then turned the water supply valve back on and it immediately started pumping water back in. I turned the breaker back off and tested it with the same result. We have had issues with the controls not responding recently and thought maybe it is a control board issue.
1 Answer Hello Russ. Make sure there is no power to the valve. If not, you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Dan October 28, 2014 for Model Number MDBH949AWW1 The dishwasher stopped responding to keypad touches. After resetting the unit and hearing the unit cycle through different processes, all the lights stay on until hours later or until I kill the circuit breaker. Opening the door during the reset activities, the unit stops internal functions and there is evidence of water splashed on the side walls of the tub. So, I think both the door latch and pump work. What can I check next to fix this? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dan, This sounds like you should check the connection at the ribbon cable. If this doesn't correct the issue, replace the control panel W10810347. Read More...
Becky September 20, 2014 for Model Number MDBTT70AWB Dishwasher finished running full "Normal" cycle and is now flashing "9" on "Rinse Only" and will not change or turn off
1 Answer Becky, With the unit having a flashing key, this issue would be caused by a stuck keypad on the control panel which would need to be replaced. Read More...
John August 10, 2014 for Model Number MDB6601AWS Was running a wash cycle today. Something was pinched in the door seal while running, causing water leaks on the floor from high in the door seal. Opened the door during the cycle, repositioned the item in the upper rack, closed the door, and after a long delay (minutes?) the washer started up again as expected. Sometime later, noticed that the lights on the control panel were all out, and none of the buttons cause any action (i.e. no lights). Circuit breaker did not trip. Latch switches test fine. There was condensation moisture inside the door near the circuit board. So, assuming that either the controller board or panel is bad. Are there any tests to figure out which one? Or should I just plan on buying both and returning something?
1 Answer Hello John. If the board got wet, then you will need to replace the board. If there is power coming to the board, and nothing working, then the board is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
