Michael H Marietta , GA February 15, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Dishwasher DWU9200AAX Soap tray on dishwasher did not open during the wash cycle I found the videos on dishwasher repair that AppliancePartsPros offers and determined the likely cause of the problem. I removed the door cover and found soap caked on the back. I cleaned the cover and switched the wax motors to see if the clean rinse motor was good and ran a tested cycle. No improvement. I ordered two new wax motors for the Maytag dishwasher and those arrived in a few days from AppliancePartsPros. I replaced the old motors and ran a test cycle. The soap tray opened correctly. Thanks to the repair instruction I avoided the cost of a service call and took one task off of my wife's honey do list. The research and repair time in total took a few hours. The actual repair once I had the new motors was about 20-30 minutes. Read More... 24 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
