Al December 07, 2012 for Model Number MDB4709AWW0 Hi, I have been told I need to replace the control board on my Maytag dishwasher. I have located the part on your website, but I am wondering if I will be able to install it myself (and save about $200 in quoted labor costs!)? I watched the technician take the control panel off, which looked easy. But, it was not clear how difficult it would be to replace the electronic control board. How difficult is it for me to install the control board? Thanks, Al
1 Answer Hello Al. Just disconnect the power and remove the inner door liner. Then access the board and replace it. These are not hard to install into the units. Read More...
John R December 06, 2012 for Model Number KENMORE ULTRA WASH QUITE GUARD I received you answer to my initial question, thank you. However if you could tell me where I can find the fuse it would be very much appreciated. Thank you, John
1 Answer Hello John. The fuse is located on the control board inside the door. It is round with to black wires going to it. Read More...
John R December 06, 2012 for Model Number KENMORE ULTRA WASH QUITE GUARD DISHWASHER I have power to the dishwasher, but there is no lights on the control panel.
1 Answer Hello John. You need to check and see if the fuse is bad and iff so, you will need to replace it. 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...

Randy November 18, 2012 for Model Number 66513242K900 kenmore I have a kenmore dishwasher that has a control panel that has malfunctioned. . The clean light will flash 7 times and pause, then 7 times and pause. It doesnt matter which button you press, nothing works. I have cut the power off and on but nothing changes, it will not run a cycle. What could be wrong, it is less than 2 years old. thanks.
2 Answers Hello Randy. Press heated dry, normal, heated dry, normal, heated dry normal and the unit should start. Let it run the cycle and finish. Then, always get the water hot at the sink before starting the dishwasher to prevent the error code. Read More...

Clinton November 09, 2012 for Model Number mdbh949aws1 My dishwasher will not turn on. None of the bbuttons, start, stop, or wash cycles will come on. There is power, since the heater and some of the other buttons will light up. What else can I check and do I need a special meter to check it with?
1 Answer Clinton, It sounds like the fault is in the key pad assembly W10810104 "PROBLEM: One or More Keys Won’t Respond - Open key or LED circuit(s) on the keypad, or open circuits on the control to the keys and LEDs. - Door switch not making contact: Faulty or sloppy door latch assembly (which can be aggravated by high door closure force). Faulty door switch (high resistance). Faulty control does not detect door closed." If you decide to circuit test the key pad circuits, you will need a multi meter TJMA-DM1 and you'll need to use the wiring diagram / tech data sheet, attached to the back side of the kickplate to test the circuits properly.

Ted October 24, 2012 for Model Number MDB4709AWB1 Maytag dishwasher ran last cycle fine. Went to turn it on today and nothing lit up. Turned power off to it for 15 minutes, now only the heated buttons light up when pushed. What could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Ted, This is from the tech sheet from your unit: Water Heating Problem Control is programmed to stop running and not allow any further cycles if it detects a water heating problem (no temperature increase detected in heated Main Wash on 3 consecutive cycles). Control blinks the Clean LED 7 times repeatedly and disables the Start/Resume key until cleared. Running diagnostics clears the control and allows it to operate again. The water heating problem must be fixed or the control will stop running again. 1. Check operation of heater in Diagnostics cycle. 2. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power. 3. Check resistance of heater and all components and connections in the water heating circuit or heat dry circuit. The testing procedures are in the tech sheet also. It should be in a plastic bag behind the kick panel. If you cannot find yours, you need to re-post with an e-mail address so we can send a copy to you. Read More...
Mr. D. October 22, 2012 for Model Number maytag MDB4709AWB No power at the consol. There is power to the door switch and to the thermal overload and even power to the circuit board. I ohmed the door switches and the thermal overload they checked ok. Ribbon appears intact and contacts are clean. How do I determine whether its the contol board or the control panel ?
1 Answer Hi. Remove the lower panel and find the tech sheet behind it or in with the control board. Remove the inner door panel to retrieve it and put the unit into a diagnostic mode. It will bring up a code that allows you to diagnose the total circuit. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Look down at the float stem to see if it has fallen off the float switch part # WP8268909. Sometimes the Standpipe (side cover) part # WPW10175383 will come loose and the float lever part # WP8268892 slides off to one side not allowing the water fill. Thank You. Read More...
