Float does not shut off

Check the float to make sure it moves freely up and down, and it should click when it moves. Remove float and clean around the float tube-you may need to do this from below, through the access panel. Use white vinegar to scrub the float and shaft assembly. Turn on the dishwasher to see if this fixed the problem.

If not, it may be the float switch. If you are handy with electrical repairs, turn off the power to the dishwasher, pull the dishwasher from the wall and remove the back. Remove the wires from the terminals on the float switch-use masking tape to identify to identify terminals,noteing which belongs where.Remove old switch and replace with the new float switch. You will need the serial number, model number and make of your dishwasher to order the new float.

Soap dispenser door pops open

Try cleaning the compartment. If the latching is not OK, it could be a latch problem, or alignment, or total dispenser. Contact service provider for assistance.

Loud noise

test it when empty and also manually rotate the arms and observe if there is anything stopping it.If there is no noise when empty then check the layout of the dishes,as probably one is sticking higher than others causing the rotating arms to hit it.

Grinding noise - Maytag dishwasher MDB7100

I suspect something hard like a fragment of chicken bone or a citrus seed is at the inlet to the drain pump (my favorite was a plastic pull strip from a frozen juice concentrate can - that was LOUD). Many dishwashers have a chopper similar to that in a garbage disposal right before the pump inlet, but some things like bone won't go through it. It could be something light enough to float and only hits the pump when the water level drops. You may have to remove the pump cover in the bottom of the dishwasher to find it. This would be a good time to clean any garbage out of the lower spray arm and check the spray arm bushing for excess wear.

My Maytag quiet series 200 is not cleaning and despite many attempts it is also leaving terrible residue on dishes.

I found this on ehow I believe it will help. How to Troubleshoot Dishwasher Residue By Dale Yalanovsky eHow Contributor 5Found This HelpfulGeorge Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty images Dishwater residue is a fairly common occurrence, and several things can cause it. Even the newest dishwashers may leave residue, and it might have nothing to do with the actual dishwasher function itself. However, there are things you can do to prevent, limit or completely remove dishwasher residue during every washing cycle.

Other People Are Reading

  1. Detergent Residue
    • Modern phosphate-free detergents are the main culprits when it comes to detergent residue. After every wash, many leave a slight whitish residue behind. After several washings, the residue becomes caked on and leaves a noticeable white tint to your dishes. Some dishwasher detergent brands are better than others, and either minimize residue or do not leave any. Once residue is present, however, the only way to remove it is by hand scrubbing or scraping.
    Hard-Water Residue
    • Hard-water residue comes from non-softened water from your hot water tank. Non-softened water leaves a white tint on dishes, but no amount of scrubbing will remove it. Only by wiping a small patch of the dish with vinegar or lemon juice will you be able to ascertain whether the white residue left is hard water or detergent. The slight acidic action of the vinegar or lemon juice removes hard-water stains, but they have no effect on detergent residue.
    Greasy Residue
    • If the dishes feel greasy when they come out of the dishwasher freshly washed, you are dealing with a greasy residue. There are two main reasons for this: either the detergent is not an effective grease remover, or the hot water inside of the dishwasher, either from the hot water tank or the dishwasher's heating elements, is not hot enough. Boosting the hot water temperature on the water tank may solve the problem, and a second wash cycle may be needed for the dishes. A preventive measure of running the dishwasher empty with a full load of detergent also removes the residue inside of the dishwasher.
    Streaking and Spotting Residue
    • If you have spotting or streaking on your dishes, that may be a sign you need a rinse agent. Many modern dishwashers recommend a rinse agent to prevent spotting or streaking, and without one, your dishes will never be crystal clear or streak-free. The next time you do a dishwasher load, add a rinse agent. If the dishes come out spot- and streak-free, the problem is solved.

My Maytag dishwasher turns on and runs for just under 2 minutes. At this point it switches off and shows 2 minutes remaining on the cycle as it drains out.

i don't know. sounds like a fault in the program. consider unplugging machine for 10 mintes. plug it back in and run a short wash to see if the program has reset itself. if not OK, call for repair estimate then decide if you can live with it as is,-- have someone try to repairit -- or replace it with a new one which may offer extended warranty for $$.

What are dimensions for Maytag dishwasher Model # DWU7400AAX?

google maytag dwu7400aax dimensions for your answer less than 3 seconds. This is just a standard size dishwasher model. Dishwashers in general are going to be standard size unless you get a portable dishwasher or a 30 inch wide dishwasher. There are very few of these models. Your size dishwasher is just 24" wide 24" deep and 34 1/2 inches tall but the height can be adjusted somewhat

My maytag W10199645 dishwasher won't start and no lights on

Those units are shipped without a power cord so they can be hard wired into a conduit box. Check the power cord where it is wired into the box ON THE MACHINE and make sure all the connections are correct and are secure.
