Lessa W January 12, 2017 for Model Number MDBH945AWW We had rats that came in and chewed up the inlet, air/water and the Hose/injector. I have replaced them they are now ok. I have a leak at the compression fitting where it hooks to the intake valve. I took apart the fitting to the valve and re taped with plumbers tape. The leaks seems to be right at the compression fitting where the water comes in. Is there suppose to be a seal in there, or do I need to replace the flex hose from the water supply?
1 Answer Lessa, There would not be a seal on the valve inlet. This sounds like it would be the hose causing this issue. Read More...
Carl January 05, 2015 for Model Number MDB9600AWQ Dishwasher is not filling with water. Have traced it to bad fill valve. My question is it the fill valve or a bad pump valve?

Ron April 16, 2013 for Model Number MDBTT59AWW Hello...

Thanks in Advance for your help...
1 Answer Hello Ron. Check and make sure the float is not stuck and if not, replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Joe B April 16, 2013 for Model Number Jenn-Air JDB2150AWP The dishwasher in our new house leaks through a faulty door gasket/seal - this was found during the home inspection. When I began to troubleshoot the issue, I noticed that the tub fills with (and doesn't drain) water without the dishwasher having been run. When I drain the tub (the drain function on the dishwasher works when you hold down that button) and shut off the water supply, the problem doesn't resurface. When I turn the supply valve back on to hand-wash some dishes in the sink, the tub begins to fill again at a very slow rate - the over-spill might start to happen after 24 hours or so of having hot water pressure. I disconnected the power to the unit at the circuit breaker and tested the resistance of the water inlet valve. This reading was right at 1,000 ohms, which I understand is right in the middle of the working electrical specification. I have to assume at this point that the valve is slightly stuck in the open position, or that there's a faulty gasket or o-ring in that part. Along with ordering a new door gasket, I am looking for validation that Whirlpool part 6-920534 is my most likely point of failure in relation to this problem. Many thanks, Joe
1 Answer Joe, You are correct that the water valve is slightly open or the seal in the valve has gone bad and needs to have new valve W11082871replaced. Read More...
Shannon January 22, 2013 for Model Number MDBH945AWB Hi: We had frozen pipes over the weekend and forgot to drain the dishwasher prior to leaving. Yesterday, when we got all the water working, we started the dishwasher and water started running out the door. This happened several years ago and we replaced the water inlet valve. Does this sound like the same issue? I just ordered the part and hope I made the right diagnosis...
1 Answer Hello Shannon. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Gary November 05, 2012 for Model Number mdb6600aww When I turn on water to dishwasher water does not stop coming in.
1 Answer Hello Gary. Based on the information you provided, the valve W11082871 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Phil August 13, 2012 for Model Number MDB5600AWW During some unrelated plumbing work in the house, I ended up with sediment throughout the system including at every faucet & appliance. I cannot seem to be able to locate the sediment filter on my dishwasher, (Maytag Quiet Series 100 MDB5600AWW).
1 Answer Hello Phil, The only screen on a dishwasher is in the water inlet valve. Remove the water supply line from the unit and the screen should be inside the water inlet. It is part of the valve. Read More...
Kenneth March 23, 2012 for Model Number MDBH955AWB I am only getting 75 VAC at the Water inlet Valve. It should be 120 VAC. I have replaced the control board. Then a new water inlet valve. What else could cause this?
1 Answer Hi Kenneth. Remove the float switch cover. Is the float stem jammed off to one side not allowing full voltage to supply the valve? Bypass the switch wires together and then check for the 120 vac. Your neutral wire color is a blue color from the control board J9 connector. The hot 120 vac comes via the blk. on the water valve,drain motor, dispenser and the vent all the way from the black feed on the control board then the junction box. You need to use a volt meter with the black meter lead on a fresh ground and then the red meter lead on each black wire at each part to see where the 120 vac + leg may have a loose or a mis crimp. The door switches have 2- separate feeds. One switch is the white wire (neutral) feed from the junction box. The black wire from the junction box feed goes to the other door switch. You use the supplied wiring diagram in the toe kick cover or by the controls. Start at the water valve and then check each connection point going back while following the wiring diagram. You may have a chewed wire from varmits. Make sure the wire nuts are tight and the wires have sufficient twisted connection under the wire nuts. It is common for a solid wire and a stranded wire will not get "capped " and twisted together. The stranded wire has a tendency to get pushed onto the wire coating at the bottom of the bare stripped wire instead of the correct twist together method. Thank You. -- Read More...
Kenneth March 19, 2012 for Model Number MDBH955AWB Will a bad fill valve shut off the water if the pressure in the feed line is high? I have to turn my water feed line to very low pressure to fill the washer. If the line feed is opened to normal flow the washer will not fill. The plummer contractor during a recent visit noted that the water pressure is normal in that line.
1 Answer Hello Kenneth. Yes, it sounds like the solenoids are weak and you will need to replace the water valve W11082871 in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Gokhan February 07, 2012 for Model Number Maytag - mdbtt79aww Maytag diswasher is not cleaning the dishes. I just chaged the water intake valve, cleaned the filter, Check for leak etc.. But there is no luck. Still it is not cleaning.. Any other suggestion?? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Gokhan. You will need to check and see if the motor seal kit WP6-919539 is stripped out on the motor and is not turning the impeller WP99002659 enough the circulate the water. Hope this helps. Read More...
