Maytag MDB9600A Jetclean II Built-in Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

it the faucet connector has a lever u push in order to latch on to the faucet, just jam something under it so it maintains upward pressure and wont come unlatched when the water starts flowing

Yea sounds like one of the o rings have malfunctioned but there's no way of telling without checking every one but i think there's a pressure problem - a service should fix your problem...

Do you ever clean it with a dishwasher cleaning agent and run it on any wash mode?

try pressing normal wash, then heat dry normal wash then heat dry normal wash then heat dry. do it 3 times

modern day dishwasher use less water than the older ones so you have to use less soap a lot less only 2 tablespoons but you also have to use rinse aid with the very little soap the cloudy residue on the dishes is left over soap

try to clean the filter by taking off the bottom section of the water jet, it might be clogged, if that does not work, u got the same problem as me, it just wont drain. The pump is probably broken.

The problem is hard water. www.dishwasherfilter.com has a product to solve this problem once and for all. It filters the water going into your dishwasher and removes the hard minerals that leave those spots. It is very affordable and even has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look with this product.

could be a bad thermistor

Make sure the wire harness is secured properly to the pump . Also just make sure the drain line is clear. If this is not the problem most likely the control board needs to be replaced.

The installation instructions and the Owner's Manual do not say how to replace the panel.  It may not be possible to change without replacing the entire door.
Look for trim near the top of the door that is attached by screws.  If the trim can be removed the old panel can be slid up and out and the new panel can be slid in.  Alternatively look for side trim piece(s) that might be removable allowing the panel to be slid in.

Hi
I expect you have a bit of food stuck inside the arm, even a grain if rice can cause problems.
Remove the upper wash arm and try to wash it out.
You may need a tooth pick on the outlet holes to remove any small bits (dont push them back inside).

check for line voltage at the door switches and from there to the control board thats to the right of the door latch switches for line voltage,if you have line voltages in all these areas then replace the front membrane push button control panel that connects to the control board

You have a bad door seal. Easy fix. Part#99002588 Watch as you pull the old one out. Put the new one in the same way. Start at the bottoms and push in a little bit at a time keeping attention to the top r,l corners.
Please rate me a 4 if this was helpful.
Have a wonderful day!

Some water at the bottom of your dishwasher is ok. However if the water more than covers the bottom then you have a problem.

1. First thing to try and this may fix the whole issue. Check the air-gap to see if their is a clog in the line.
2. If your hose is clear change out your drain line and drain pump parts #99002750 and #99002652

That will fix it for sure. Have a great day!

Hi

If you are noticing that the dishes are not clean, then there are a few things to check for. Check the soap powder if it's kept in a dry environment. Also try replacing the powder with something like a gel or liquid. Next thing to check for is the water pressure and fill valve. Check if the water is filling in and the spray arms are throwing the water with enough pressure. Try and listen to the sound if you hear a proper spraying action sound.

If it seems as a low water pressure then check the fill valve. Now, check if dishwasher is draining the water or not. While the dishwasher is working check whether the dishwasher is draining and there is not much left out water after the cycle is complete. Try cleaning the spray arm with a soft brush. The water temperature plays a major role in cleaning of dishes. The temp should be between 125 and 150 F for dishwasher to clean the dishes. Hope this helps...
