Questions and Answers for Whirlpool WPW10218837 Electronic Control Board

Edbenchmark September 29, 2021 for Model Number MDB6701AWW3

Nothing happens when I push START, except maybe once in a thousand attempts. Do I have a bad control pad or panel?

1 Answer

Edbenchmark, it would be recommended that the door switches WP99002751 are tested for continuity when the power supply to the dishwasher is off and the door is closed. If the switches have continuity and there is no response from the start button, the failure would likely be in the user interface 6-919822. Unfortunately, the interface has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Touchpad inop. Did replace door switch and circuit board. Dishwasher is still dead. Only lights that come on are. Heavy wash! Auto clean! Heated dry! Hi-temp wash. Those lights come on but nothing happens. Any help? Heinz

Heinz, as the main control was replaced and the touchpad will only accept input on the four buttons, the failure would be in the console 6-920244. Unfortunately, this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Flashing '9' and stops after starting a load. Intermittent issue, increasing frequency.

Hello, it sounds like you might have a defective touchpad on your unit. We will need the first 2 digits of your serial number in order to locate the correct keypad, thanks!

I have a Maytag 300 quiet series dishwasher about 10 years old. I do not have a model # FOR it as it came off the door. It has what I believe to be a control panel problem. The electronic control board number is W10111822 RevA. The washer works fine for a while then will start to act up and always revert to the sanitize cycle and then only partially wash and then stop. It will always empty the water if that button is pushed. I was going to purchase a new dishwasher but the decided I did not want to spend the extra money. I turned it on today after I found the control board number and it is washing just fine. So I want to replace the push button panel but cannot find a number to order. Also want some other parts but am unable to order without the model number. Can you help with a model number ? Build date on parts found in door is 2007 Has 12 buttons to push 5 cycles and 4 options

John, Unfortunately there were many different models that were put out by the manufacturer that were quit series 300 all with different features. We would not be able to advise on the model number of the unit.

Hello Jerry. Yes, test for power to the board. If there is power there, and the board does not work, then it is bad and will need to be replaced WPW10218837.

My dishwasher will start and fill up, but after filled the motor does not engage. Don't know if it is the control panel or the motor. Have read about the connection to the motor coming undone. Where is that and how do I test it? Or is it just the control board.

1 Answer

Hello Phil. You will need to check the connection. it is located under the bottom of the unit. If the connection is good, you will test for power to the motor. If it has power and does not run, replace the motor in 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

I have a maytag dishwasher that is not acting right. I press wash and get er started, but many times it just goes back to rinse and does not complete the wash. I have my mind pretty much made up that I need a control board. There are three listed on your website and I am not sure what is the one for me. My serial number is 36552354. Can you confirm what board I need based on my model AND serial number. The web site does not narrow by serial number, or at least I do not see where it does. Thanks,

1 Answer

Hello Spencer. Based on the model and serial number, WPW10218837 is the correct board for the unit.

THE CONTROL PANEL DOES NOT LIGHT UP.The power is ok.resistance check indicate that the power cord through to the control board are fine.During the last wash cycle the delay light was on while the unit was already washing. Question is is the control panel or the circuit board at fault.

1 Answer

James, The issue would most likely be the control board but the best thing to do is access the wiring diagram. There will be a key on there for the control panel test points for the membrane switch. Check the keypad for continuity using this key and if it checks ok then the control board is the issue. If it does not pass the test then the control panel would be the issue.

I have a Maytag QuietSeries 300 dishwasher, model MDB5601AWB that I can't get to unlock. When I hold down the Heated Dry button for about a second and a half, all of the LEDs on the display simultaneously light up for one second, then turn off for about 1.5 seconds, then back on for another second and so on and the dishwasher stays locked. About half of the keys on the keypad behave as I would expect. When I press them the lock LED blinks five times. However, the Heavy Wash, Rinse Only, Auto Clean, Heated Dry, and Hi Temp Wash don't seem to do anything. I have taken the door apart and tried to reseat all of the cables connected to the control board. I have also looked at the ribbon cable that goes into the control board. I didn't see any signs of corrosion or other obvious problems. I tried cleaning the ribbon cable leads with both an eraser and isopropyl alcohol and still no change. I have also left the dishwasher unplugged overnight, but the dishwasher stayed locked after I reapplied power. At this point I would suspect I have a problematic control board and I would need to replace it, but I wanted to get a second opinion before I spend the money to do so.
