Robert A Fairfax , VA August 25, 2017 Appliance: Maytag Undercounter Dishwasher MDB7609AWB1 Sart button would not work on dishwasher but all other buttons worked. After some research I found others having the same problem (all buttons worked except the Start button, and the system would work using the "Reset" / "Test" button combination - although I forget the combo).

Amy M Windham , NH August 13, 2014 I have a maytag dishwasher and the start and cancel buttons were not working Let me start by stating that the MAYTAG washer if only three years old. It was suggested that I purchase part number W10254846 (desc. Cons ASM Service MDB7609). You have to remove the front of the dishwasher (we did it with a drill and you will need a special bit to remove the circle screws on the inside panel). We unsnapped the computer board and clipped in the new door control panel and put the door back on. You don't have to take the whole door off just the top part with the control panel. It was easy and it saved us the cost of a service repair man $100/hr. We are not super handy and we manged to do it. Works great now. Never buy the parts from the website that Maytag directs you to. They have very high prices for the same parts. Read More... 20 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
David G Roswell , GA October 27, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Undercounter Dishwasher MDBH979AWB2 Dishwasher would not start only the option buttons would function I replaced the control panel. I based this decision on other comments and feedback. I was trying to decide if the control panel was bad or the main circuit board was bad. One feedback said to disconnect the control panel from the circuit board and after turning the power on and closing the door the Cancel cycle should run for about 2 minutes if the circuit board was working ok. After running this test and the Cancel cycle functioned correctly, I decided to replace the control panel. That was the correct decision. The dishwasher is working now. Diagnosing the problem took the most time. But is got the problem fixed on the first try.

Karen E Bushkill , PA August 04, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Undercounter Dishwasher MDBH979AWS1 Our dishwasher stopped working lights were on but wouldn't start We followed the easy on-line diagnostics and thought the control panel was causing our issue. We ordered the part and had it the next day (without selecting next day shipping!). The part arrived and was installed in less than 10 minutes. We saved by not having to call in a repairman. Will always check here before calling someone. Read More... 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers
