Steve January 02, 2016 for Model Number 96 maytag jetclean portable Hello, I don't have power to the wax motor. I had bought this new but it was stored in someones garage for years. Upon plugging it in everything worked great. Now the detergent door doesn't open. Wax motor tests fine and I have no power to it at anytime. Upon closer inspection, a good deal of the insulation was chewed off by mice at and around the timer. I replaced all bad sections but still do not have power to wax motor. The timer itself goes through all the cycles. Would it be the timer that needs to be replaced or is there some type of relay of some sorts that needs replacing?
1 Answer Steve, You will want to check the wiring between the wax motor and the timer to make sure that the mice did not chew through any wires. If the wires checks ok then the timer would most likely be the issue. Read More...
Dec August 28, 2013 for Model Number MDBTT79AWW I had a repair person look at my dishwasher, model number MDBTT79AWW. He said I need a new wax motor, but mine does not look exactly like yours; the little stem is longer on yours. Will your part work in my dishwasher? I'll send you a photo of mine if you tell me where to send it (by email) so you can see just what it looks like. thanks......
1 Answer Dec, The parts don't look the same, because they aren't the same, the wax motor WP902899 you have is for a different dispenser, and will not work in the dispenser on your dishwasher. You will need to order the dispenser assembly WP99003317. The individual parts aren't available to repair the dispenser assembly. Read More...

Tinpl8 July 05, 2012 for Model Number dwu9200aax From questions posted, my problem appears to be the wax motor for the soap dispenser. My question is, how can I test the motor or control circuit to be sure it's the motor? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Tinpl8. You can test for power coming to the wax motor during the cycle. If there is power there, and the wax motor does not move, you will need to replace the wax motor on 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 Read More...
Robert March 19, 2012 for Model Number DWU8860ABX I realize that this question has been asked before but to clarify, does the the dual wax conversion kit disable the secondary wax motor altogether so that the rinse aid dispensor no longer functions or does it reconfigure the mechanism so that the one wax motor actuates both functions?
1 Answer Hi Robert. The Dual wax conversion kit. It does replace the rinse dispenser on your unit. There are 2 separate wax motors that individually open the rinse aid or the soap dispenser depending on the timer or control unit. It will aid in stopping internal leaks. Conversion kit part # 12001867. Thank You. Read More...
Andyrandy December 05, 2011 for Model Number dwu7300bax Does the dual wax motor conversion kit replace just one of the motors? So the rinse aid and the soap dispenser open at same time?

Pamela August 14, 2011 for Model Number MAYTAG DISHWASHER MODEL # MDB2200AWE My rinse dispenser, that I put the Jet-dry liquid in for spot free glasses is not opening...or releasing the liquid. As a result my glasses and dishes have a spoty film on them. I tried putting white vinegar in a cup in bottom rack and running cycle empty load,was told it may unclog it, it did not. I am told I need to replace a part the dispenser or reservoir? I'm not sure what part or part # exactly that would be? Pamela

Kathy M. August 01, 2011 for Model Number dwu8250bax the soap door does not open. any ideas? from what I've read online it could be the wax motor. How do we replace it?
1 Answer Kathy, to replace the dispenser wax motor you will first need to separate the inner (plastic) door liner from the door frame, after you turn the power off at the breaker box, you'll need to remove all the screws, you can then unplug the wire harness from the wax motor, and carefully disconnect the wax motor plunger from the slide cam assembly. There are no tools required to remove it, the wax motor is a snap in fit, just use caution, you don't want to dislodge any of the linkage, lifters,etc. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
