Doug November 27, 2021 for Model Number Maytag dishwasher Our Maytag washer wasn't filling. I bought the water inlet valve which seemed to be what was recommended. It still didn't fill so I looked at the float switch, took it out and tested it. It worked perfectly. I looked at the little plastic lever and the pin that drops down to push the lever into the float switch. The pin did not drop down all the way and there was a 1/8 " gap between it and the lever. When I manually pushed the lever up to the float switch, the dishwasher worked. So my guess is that the pin is supposed to drop down against the lever, keeping the float switch closed and allowing it to fill. When the water level rises, the pin will rise and eventually, the lever will open the float switch (i.e. create an open circuit.) So this is my question: how do I fix this?

Rick Hartoin October 26, 2021 for Model Number KDTM354DSS1 The dish washer is not cleaning the dishes. It goes through all the cycles but when I open the door the soap door is open and the pod is sitting on the bottom below the rack only slightly dissolved. I changed the turbidity sensor but it didn’t work. The dishwasher is making a little more noise than before during certain cycles and it seems to be coming from the front right side by the float switch. When I open the door after the water filling stage the water is hot like the kitchen faucet temperature, 125 degrees. But the walls and upper rack are dry. What should I try next.
1 Answer Rick, This unit has a diverter motor on it that is most likely not working. The diverter motor will shift the water from the bottom to the top and if it is not working then the dishes will not get clean. The part number for the motor is W10537869. Read More...
Everett August 10, 2021 for Model Number MDB4709PAW0 The water is leaking out from the float shaft.. it looks like the water level is to high. how do I adjust the water level. switch is shutting off the water below the heating element.
1 Answer EVERETT, Based on the information provided check the level of the machine if the water is below the heater, it should not be over the float. Check the float for cracks and check to see it is tightly in place. Read More...
Sam September 06, 2020 for Model Number RS265TDRS/XAA-02 The icemaker quit making ice. I replaced the icemaker unit, but it still is not making ice. What else should I check?
1 Answer Sam, it would be recommended that the ice maker fill tube is inspected to identify if it has an ice block which would indicate a failed water valve DA97-07827B. Another thing that would be recommended to check is using a thermometer to check to see if the freezer is reaching less than 10°F. If the freezer is not less than 10°F, the ice maker would not be able to make ice quickly or properly. Read More...
Joe September 06, 2020 for Model Number KUDS30FXSS5 The dishwasher will not fill with water. I replaced the water inlet valve and tried running the cycle again and it still did not have water. Then I noticed a small utensil under the float and it was stuck up. I removed it, thinking I had solved the issue, but after trying a cycle again, it still will not fill with water. What's my next step?
1 Answer Joe, the float switch WPW10195039 can be tested for continuity as it should have a closed circuit when the float is properly activating it. If there is continuity, the next step would be identifying if there is 120VAC going to the valve when the dishwasher is started. If not, the failure is in the main control W10479761 or there is a broken or loose wire W10871221. If there is 120VAC, there may be a pinched/crimped line, water supply is not turned on, or there may be an issue with the valve WPW10327249 itself. Read More...
Mark March 11, 2020 for Model Number KDTE104DSS1 I run a cycle and the soap dispenser door is open but the soap is still there. I'm not sure what to do next. I've checked pressure going into the dishwasher and cleaned all lines water and drain. Any help will be appreciated
1 Answer Mark, Check the water fill to make sure that there is not too little water entering the unit. The water should fill just below the heater on this model. Also, check the spray arms to make sure that they are not cracked or damaged. These would be the 2 most likely causes for the soap to not dispense other than possibly having something blocking the water flow to the dispenser so make sure that larger and taller items are toward the back.

Bruce January 27, 2020 for Model Number WDT710PAYBS My dishwasher turns on, I can hear the water start running, but the water doesn’t seem to be spraying on the top or the bottom rack. It is just feeling up in the bottom of the dishwasher. I’m not sure what the problem is.
1 Answer Hello Bruce, this sounds like an underfill, replace the water inlet valve.WPW10327249. Read More...
Ken June 19, 2017 for Model Number KDTE254EBL1 I put in a new fill valve... The water will not full and it goes though the whole with no water. Should i replace the float switch.
1 Answer Ken, If the unit runs through the cycle with no water in it then check the float to make sure that it is not stuck up and the float switch to make sure that it is good. If they check ok then the issue will be a faulty main control board. Read More...
C J March 27, 2017 for Model Number KUDS35FXSS4 Dishwasher has not power. Have to unplug and plug unit back in to power up. Happens every few wash cycles.
1 Answer Hello CJ. It sounds like the control board WPW10380685 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Ike D. February 10, 2017 for Model Number mdb7749sbmo When I shut the door the unit starts on it's own and will run continuously until the door is open and also the cycle varies when it comes on by itself.
1 Answer Hello Ike, You will most likely need to replace the control panel W10811169 since it sounds like there could be a stuck key on it. If not, you have a relay issue on the board W10595568. Read More...
