Tricia May 02, 2017 for Model Number MDB7749AWW1 Getting common problem - can set Normal Wash, Heated dry lights up but nothing happens when I push Start button. Took cover off and all connections secure and clean. Does the control panel (the exterior part with the soft touch buttons) also include the electronic module that connects with the ribbon cable? How do I know which part is the bad one?
1 Answer Hello Tricia. Yes, it comes with the buttons and ribbon cable. It does not come with the control board. Based on the information you provided, if the door switches are good, then it sounds like you may need to replace the control panel on the unit. Read More...
Brian April 27, 2017 for Model Number MDB7749SBW1 My dishwasher won't run. The lights on the control board are as follows: Normal is lit, Wash is flashing, Heated dry lit, Control lock flashing, Start resume flashing. I did shut the power off for 5 or more minutes but didn't do anything. Tried pushing buttons but nothing works. Maybe because locked out of control panel?
1 Answer Hello Brian, You should replace the control panel W10811166. The lights indicate possible stuck keys on the panel. Read More...
Pat September 08, 2016 for Model Number MDB7749AWQ1 My dishwasher will not start. When I press the heavy light its light lights up with the steam clean and sanitize lights. The cancel/drain turns on the pump and will turn it off. Light load light lights, but noumal and start do not. I had to replace the soap dispensor last month because the solinoid melted which took out the Triac on the control board which I also replaced. This is starting to cost as much as a new dishwasher. What now the front panel?
1 Answer Hello Pat. You will need to order and replace the control panel W10811150 on the unit. Read More...
Jon April 18, 2016 for Model Number Maytag mdb7749aww1 Hi, the machine will not start. I push in the normal setting but no start light and will not engage when pushed. I researched on the internet and found that if I push normal-heaters 2 times quickly that the machine will enter diagnostic mode. I did this and all lights lit up on the control panel and the washer ran a shorter cycle, about 20 minutes. I took the control panel off and could see no corrosion or anything out of place. I read that there could be a problem with the door latch but that seems to be fine, I have to give it a good tug to open it. The dishwasher is only 3 years old and Maytag wants $80.00 just to walk into my house lalong with labor and parts. I would like to try to fix it but I'm obviously not able to determine the problem. Best buy has a new Whirlpool on sale this week for $249.00 and it may be advantageous for me to go that route. I would appreciate your advise. Thanks.
1 Answer Jon, You're on target, the keypad assembly ribbon has a problem and is giving false inputs to the control board. Replacement is relatively easy, usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to replace, If you have basic skills and tools you can do it yourself, and save quite a bit of money. Let us know your decision, if you need help or advice, we're here to help you out. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks, Read More...
Roberta H December 06, 2015 for Model Number MDB7749AWB2 4 year old Maytag under the counter dishwasher had no sign of trouble until all lights on control panel went out and don't light up or operate wonder if need electronic control to panel-control to fix problem,
1 Answer Roberta, You will want to check the junction box at the bottom of the dishwasher to make sure that there is not a loose connection at the electrical supply. If this checks ok then check to see if there is power to the control board. If there is power to the control board then it will likely be a control board issue. Read More...
Eugene April 21, 2014 for Model Number MDB7749AWQ1 This is Eugene again for dishwasher MDB7749AWQ1. I saw your answer that the problem might be the door latch. Thank you. However, I checked the door latch and it seems OK. I checked the continuity and it's fine. I tried to manually decompress the door latch to make contact of the switch, and I still can not start the machine. Is this a problem of the control panel?
1 Answer Hello Eugene. Yes, if the door switches are good, you will need to order and replace the control panel on the unit. Read More...
Eugene April 12, 2014 for Model Number MDB7749AWQ1 My Maytag MDB7749AWQ1 stopped working. I can select cycles and cycle lights illuminate except "rinse only" and "delay hours" buttons. After I selected cycles, I pushed the start button but nothing happened. I can not start the machine. Should I need to replace the control panel?
1 Answer Eugene, You will want to check the door switches to make sure that the switches on the latch are good. It sounds like they are not making contact in which it would cause the unit to not start. Read More...
Gwen November 29, 2013 for Model Number MDB7749AWW2 My Maytag MDB7749AWW2 Dishwasher will not start. I cannot get any of the cycle lights to illuminate on the left side of the panel. However, all the options on the right side of the panel appear to be working fine. I tried alternating pushing sanitize/heat dry buttons until all lights were on. It started alternating Normal/Rinse Only. After a couple minutes of this all lights came back on and would not turn off until I flipped the breaker. I removed the front cover of the touchpad where I found some gooey foodstuff which I cleaned off...some was on the 3 bottom lines of the ribbon. I cleaned with qtip/alcohol but after putting back together, it does the same exact thing. Do I have a control circuit board problem or is it the keypad/ribbon assembly? How would I check the ribbon to see if it is ok? Thanks, Gwen

Kd September 15, 2013 for Model Number W10356467 Does the ribbon just pull out of control board? Or do you need to open the control board to get it off? I don't want to force it out by pulling it if I am not supposed to. Thanks
1 Answer Hello KD. There is a locking tab you must release to pull the ribbon cable from the control board. You just press on it and pull upward. Read More...
