J.P. December 24, 2013 for Model Number MDBTT53AWW1 The options buttons on my dishwasher work but the cycle and start do not. Pushing several buttons sporadically cause some of the cycle buttons to light and sometimes all buttons light and stay lit until power is cycled. How do I know if the PANEL-CNTRL (AP4958192) or the CNTRL-ELEC (AP4566308) needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello! According to the information given it sounds like the control panel W10810347 needs to be replaced. Thanks! Read More...
Art L December 21, 2013 for Model Number MDBH969aws5 Clean light was doing the 7 flash. I put it in diagnostics mode then cleared the code. The dishwasher fills, the heating element gets hot, water does not fill to the heating element, just below, not sure if its suppose to. It sounds like it goes into wash mode and pumps sprays water for second then stops sits for minutes then drains. Water is not being sprayed inside the washer top or bottom. Washer is just over a year old. Could it be the control board??
1 Answer Art, The clean light flashing 7 times is a indication of a heating circuit failure. Since the code reset and the unit went into operation then the issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board especially with the heater now working. You will want to check the wiring harness as well. Read More...
Dean December 19, 2013 for Model Number Maytag bottom mount fridge by Whirlpool Can the compressor be diagnosed by just checking current draw (amps).
1 Answer Hello Dean, You can diagnose the compressor with current draw as long as you isolate the current drawn by the compressor. Otherwise, the unit could have a different component drawing the current and the compressor would be mis-diagnosed. Read More...
Rob December 15, 2013 for Model Number GU2275XTVY1 My 3 year old Whirlpool dishwasher stopped working tonight. I was clued in when I smelled an odd burning scent coming from the kitchen. The control panel lights were on (as if the unit was still finishing its cycle), but nothing was happening. There is still water at the bottom of the unit. A short time later, the control panel stopped lighting up altogether. I can't get it to respond at all. I shut off the breaker and opened up the control panel to see if the board had fried. However, the board looks fine and doesn't have the odor that originally tipped me off. The odor is strongest at the bottom of the dishwasher, but because of the standing water I haven't ventured to turn the unit over. My question is... how do you recommend I go about diagnosing this? Any ideas? I tested the power to the unit (good), but haven't been able to test power anywhere else. Is this a job for a professional, or can a DIYer (like myself) handle it. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Hello Rob. You need to check and see if the thermal fuse W10258275 is bad. If so, then the smell is a heating issue and could be a stuck relay on the board. 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...
David November 18, 2013 for Model Number MDBH949AWS1 My Maytag Dishwasher will not start.(MDBH949AWS1) The door switches and fuse have continuity. I have power to the options buttons but no power to cycle or start buttons. I have re seated all of the connections and since this unit has very little use there is no corrosion on the contacts How do I determine if this is the control board or the control panel or could there be another source?. TIA Dave
1 Answer Hello David. You will need to order and replace the control panel W10810104 on the unit. Read More...
Ron B. September 25, 2013 for Model Number MDBH969AWW1 It appears that the control panel needs replacing. Maytag's appliance service wants $129 just to show up. Then the part looks to cost nearly $150. That's getting close to the price of a new dishwasher. Can I replace the part myself? Is it just plug-and-play type?
1 Answer Ron, Yes, It's a project you can do yourself. Remove power to the dishwasher, open the door, remove the screws that attach the inner door panel to the door frame. Slowly separate the panels, label and disconnect the wires as needed. Unclip the control cover panel, then carefully unclip the control board from the control panel(a flat blade screwdriver works good tool the release the tabs). Reverse the procedure and test the dishwasher operation. Read More...
Michel August 21, 2013 for Model Number maytag mdb4709aws1 Hello, I turn on dishwasher at normal mode and dishwasher fill water perfect. The pump will start and after about 2minutes wash turn on drain pump and no water in dishwasher and run empty. I run a diagnostic mode same problem.heated dry,normal ect same problem. I think a mainboard failure.
1 Answer Michel, If the unit has water in it when it is washing but looses all the water between the wash and the drain cycle then you will want to make sure that the unit is not siphoning the water out when washing. Make sure that the drain line is raised to the bottom of the countertop to create an airgap or make sure that if the unit is hooked up to an air gap that the airgap is not clogged. If this checks ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
John August 10, 2013 for Model Number gu2275xtvyo Unit stopped working and still had water in bottom. No led lights working, tested power to unit tested power to door switch. Looks looks like there is no power to the door switch. What is wrong?
1 Answer John, The first thing that you will want to check is the thermal fuse to make sure that it is not blown. If the thermal fuse is blown then you will need to replace the fuse. Also check to make sure that the heater terminals look good. Read More...
Chris June 20, 2013 for Model Number mdb7749awm1 The start button does nothing. All others light. I've checked the thermal fuse and the door switch and they seem ok. Is the board bad?
1 Answer Hello Chris, The first thing you should do is open the door liner to access the control, unplug the ribbon cable, and rub the end of the cable with a pencil eraser only toward the end of the cable to prevent damage to it. This is the best way to clean it. Reinsert it and re-try the unit. If the same issue exists, replace the control board (AP4588346). Read More...
Johnny W May 22, 2013 for Model Number DU1055XTVQ3 My mom's DW quit, it has 3 blinking lights on the panel, tried killing power overnight, the lights starting blinking again. I opened up the control panel and found lots of dead bugs and bug dropping all over the control board. The bug issue has been solved by an extirminator. I feel safe assuming the board is bad from being covered by bug poo, but could it be the keypad too? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Johnny. Replace the board and try cleaning the control ribbon cable and see if it works. If not, then you will need to replace it as well. Read More...
