Debbie S March 17, 2016 for Model Number MDBTT53AWW4 We have had our dishwasher for about 3 years. This morning I unload dishes and started another load when i got back from taking my kids to school the dishwasher said that it was drying which it takes longer then 15 minutes. So I unloaded the dishwasher but I can not get it to restart and the drying light button keeps flashing. i have tried the cancel button but it is still flashing
1 Answer Debbie, With a light flashing above a key the issue would most likely be a control panel issue. It would be recommended to check the heater and heat circuit to ensure that there is no issue there. Read More...
David March 11, 2015 for Model Number MDBH949AWW4 The dishwasher is 3 years old and not used too often. Could not start it today, all functions light up but will not start when I press the start button. Is this a control panel problem? Would appreciate an answer.
1 Answer Hello David. Make sure the door switches are good. If so, you will need to replace the control panel 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...
Sandy S January 18, 2015 for Model Number MDBH949AWB2 My dishwasher is only 3 yrs old & the clean light just keeps flashing, it won't do any other cycles when you push the other buttons. It will not even cancel, the light just keeps flashing off & on. Can you tell me what I need to replace to fix my dishwasher? Thank you.
1 Answer Sandy, This issue would be caused by an issue with the heating circuit for your dishwasher. You will want to check the heater, thermostat for continuity. If there is continuity and check ok then check the wiring between the heater and the control board. If this checks ok then test the control board to see if there is 120 vac going to the heater when the heater should be on. With the tech sheet you should be able to put into diagnostic and turn the heater on. The tech sheet is behind the kickplate. If there is no power at the control board to the heater then the control board is faulty. Read More...
Larry L September 23, 2014 for Model Number MDBH949AWW1 Control buttons are not working; start/resume and cancel/drain button not working. delay hours button not working. Hi-temp wash, heated dry, and sanitize buttons ARE working. Holding the heated dry button, to lock the dishwasher, appears to work -- the "locked indicator" goes on -- but the dishwasher doesn't actually lock. (Door latch appears to work.) Control panel or switch problem? Thanks for your help!!
1 Answer Hello Larry. The lock does not lock the door, it locks the buttons on the control panel. As for the issue your having, you will need to replace the control panel on the unit. Read More...

Jim August 08, 2013 for Model Number mdbtt53aww1 I am working on a maytag dishwasher model # mdbtt53aww1. The lights on the control panel don't light, but it cycles for about two minutes. I have replaced the thermal fuse and the control board but nothing has changed do you think it could be the control panel?

Thermal fuse tests OK, as do door switches.When disconnect ribbon connector to control panel and close door, drain motor cycles for 2 minutes. Think I have a bad control panel but want to be sure.After disconnecting all connectors to ckt board,reconnected and shut door all lights blinked for a time,but only that one time.Makes me wonder if ctk board is suspect also.
1 Answer Hello Ron. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel W10810347 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
