Hello David. You should be able to press it and close the door and the unit start after a few seconds. If not, then it sounds like the control panel 6-919765 will need to be replaced on the unit.

David, With the design of this unit, you push the start button before closing the door and then the unit should start once the door is closed. If it is not starting once the door is closed then this would be a control board that is causing the failure.

Fred for Model Number MDB8751AWS

The display on front of the machine flashes "L" for about 5 seconds when start/cancel and delay buttons are depressed. I tried to remove the lockout as per the manual; i.e., by pressing "Heated Dry" for 3 seconds. I should add that the control lockout indicator light is NOT lit, as it should be according to the manual. Any I have a Maytag dishwasher model MDB8751AWS. All of the push buttons on the touch panel stoped working (no lights) and won't start the cycles. thoughts on the problem and what I need to do to fix it? Thanks.

Fred, You will need to check all the wiring connections on the unit. Also, make sure when the latch is closed, it is making contact with the switches in the unit.

Hello Tammy, These switches WP99002751 are very hard to remove without damaging. It will come out but you have to be very careful. I usually replace the complete door latch assembly WPW10275768 since it includes both switches pre installed.
