Oscar November 11, 2015 for Model Number Mdbh979aws3 I tested the fuse it shows zero so works good. Do you think I need a new board? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Oscar. If the fuse is good, you will need to replace the board on the unit. Read More...
Oscar November 11, 2015 for Model Number Mdbh979aws3 4 years old dishwasher changed the control panel a year and half ago and now again nothing works no light at the panel. When I turn the breaker off and on it seems to drain the water but still no light.
1 Answer Hello Oscar. You need to check and see if the thermal fuse W10258275 is bad on the unit. If so, replace the harness that comes with the fuse also. 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...
Richard August 26, 2015 for Model Number .MDBH979AWS1 Dishwasher will not drain during cycle, but will drain with drain button.
1 Answer Hello Richard. If you manually drain the unit and it works, but does not during a normal cycle, It sounds like the control board W11202746 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Larry B May 24, 2015 for Model Number Maytag Model MDB7609AWBI Ser # FY3503301 Lights come on except start button does not do anything. I ordered a new circuit board and installed it but still didn't start. Unplugged new circuit board and re connected and then machine worked correctly for two loads, and then back to the original no start problem. I have correct voltage to circuit board and door switch works correctly, and fuse on circuit board is ok. The hi-temp light, heated dry, and sanitize lights all work. I can hear the start button click on and off but does not start anything.
1 Answer Larry, The most likely cause for this issue would be in the control panel which is part number W10811155. Most likely the circuit for the start is bad. Read More...

1 Answer Hello John. You will need to check the thermal fuse W10258275 and see if it is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
David August 20, 2014 for Model Number MDBH979AWS3 I have a Maytag dishwasher model mdbh979aws3. The dishwasher will not start when I press the start button. If I do the "secret service code" sequence: Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal, all the lights turn on and a few seconds later, the dishwasher starts and runs for about 15 minutes (which seems shorter than a regular cycle). Based on some research it seems I may need a new control panel? Does this seem correct? The dishwasher front panel is black. Is this the right part number for the control panel: AP4434653? Thanks.
1 Answer David, When you program the ""secret service code" sequence, the dishwasher control will run a short cycle, test all the components and reset the control board to factory settings. A 10 or 15 minute cycle is normal for the test mode. Yes, the more likely issue is the control panel/keypad assembly, the correct part number for your model number is W10811155 / W10254846.

Dan June 25, 2014 for Model Number MDBH979AWS3 Hi, Seems we are victims of the common problem of Maytag dishwasher touch panel failure. Started by not being able to press "Start", now only the lights on the right side work, left side and center you can clearly see water inside the panel buttons membrane. Only a couple of years old. My question is the ribbon connector from the touch panel. It appears to be directly soldered to our control circuit box (inside the door), but I did not yank on it to be certain. It seems to be the case on this replacement panel, which in appearance matches ours exactly, that it would slip on to a multi-pin connector. Want to verify that is actually the way these connect before purchasing, do not want to be de/resoldering anything. Thanks for any info.
1 Answer Dan, The touchpad ribbon connector does "plug" onto the pins of the control board connector W11202746. You will not need to de solder or re solder anything. You do want to be careful when you unplug and plug the ribbon connection from the control board, you don't want to bend or break a pin. Take your time and be careful and you'll do fine. Read More...
Rex May 24, 2014 for Model Number mdb7749sbml The control panel will not light up. I can unplug the cord plug it back in and the lights come on for a second or two then go out.
1 Answer Hello Rex, This sounds like a connection issue. Dis-continue the power supply to the unit and remove the kickpanel and open the terminal box cover. Check the wire nut connections for loose and/or melted wire nuts. If no problem is found here, open the door liner and check the door switches. Read More...
