Randy M Washington , UT January 08, 2017 Appliance: Maytag Undercounter Dishwasher MDB7749SBM1 Control panels not working properly This is a relatively easy repair. Here are detailed instruction to replace the Control Panel. Tools Required: #15 and #20 Torx drivers. (Power tools not recommended) THE INNER SHELL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REMOVED There are 10 perimeter screws that secure the inner shell (#15) to the outer shell and six screws, three on each side (#20). Two of these screws secure the Controller Bracket and 4 that secure the spring loaded hinge to the inner shell. These six screws don't have to be removed. One interior screw (#20) that secures the Control Panel to the Control Bracket. 1. Turn off power to the dishwasher. 2. Open the door all the way and remove the 10 perimeter screws 3. Close the door half way and separate the inner shell from the outer shell. There should be enough room to access the harness plug and the interior screw. If not, gently pry the two apart so there's enough room for your #20 Torx driver, 4. Unplug the harness and remove the interior screw. (Centered just below the Control Panel). Remove the Control Panel. 5. Remove the pull handle from the old Control Panel and install it into the new one. 6. Attach the new Control Panel to the inner shell with the four screws previously removed. Reinstall the inner screw and install the harness plug. 7. With one hand, pull up on the outer shell from the bottom so the shell slides into Control Panel and is flush. 8. While holding the outer shell in place, install the top right and left perimeter screws. You can now open the door all the way. 9. Install the remaining perimeter screws top to bottom. 10. Turn on power to dishwasher. 2. Read More... 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Douglas T Lehi , UT October 27, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Undercounter Dishwasher MDBH979SAM0 Maytag dishwasher would have various control panel lights on all the time washer would restart after completing cycle some buttons would not respond Ordered and installed a new control panel. Remove four T-15 Torx screws on each side on the inside of the washer door (total of 8). Remove two screws on the inside of the washer door at the top to release the door latch. The front and inside of washer door will then separate. After slightly separating the door look from the outside of the washer door to the inside. There is an additional screw to remove so the control panel will become free. There are a couple of plastic tabs to push to finally free the control panel. Unplug the cable from the control panel. Plug in the new control panel cable, then reassemble new control panel to the door.
