    Your answer was to push normal wash /air dry at same time , and do this 4 times. I do not have a air dry button. Buttons on my machine from left to right are as follows, heavy wash, normal wash, light wash, rinse only, auto clean, start cancel, delay 2 4 6, heated dry, sanitize, hi temp wash. I noticed now that only buttons that light up when pushed are heavy wash, auto clean, heated dry and sanitize. Nothing else lights up.

    I took toe kick off and did field service test. Field service test is push heated dry button 6 times then push start button. I did this nothing happened. no lights nothing.

Hello, welcome to FixYa. I understand by reading your post which indicates it is a Maytag dishwasher you appear to have a concern with, however there does not appear to be any error code. Sounds like a bad membrane or control. Before declaring that is the case, you can try this...Press in sequence, Hi temp wash-Heat dry, Hi temp wash-Heat dry, Hi temp wash-Heat dry. That should initiate a short test cycle. I'll watch for your reply and try and help going forward. Thank you. Regards, Macmarkus :)

    Hello again,



    I should add I'd suggext you remove the toe panel and see if there is a "tech sheet" and wiring diagram. If so it will usually have instructions on how to possible "reset" the control.

    Also aside from the short test, To perform the extended diagnostic, enter press these buttons in sequence...

    **HEATED DRY - NORMAL, HEATED DRY - NORMAL, HEATED DRY - NORMAL**

    You can expect a similar result, it will operate for 10-15 minutes and stop. It may or may not show a "flashing LED's" when complete. If so, reply with the flashing LED and we can move forward with possible remedy.

    Let me know when this diagnostic is complete and if the situation remains the same we can go forward from there.

    Regards,

    Macmarkus :)

    Hello again,

    Thank you for replying, I'm glad you managed to locate the tech sheet. Unfortunate to hear the panel would not activate upon the test command.

    If that is the case (varifying the keypad/touchpad will not respond to commands) The part you will need is the membrane as the unresponsive test illustrates. (the part number varies depending on colour so double check with your model number when ordering)

    This is available at "repairclinic.com" or "searspartsdirect.com" to name a couple. It is fairly straight forward to replace and plugs into the control.

    Let me know if you need further assistance going forward, l'll certainly help in any manner I can.

    Regards,

    Macmarkus :)

    Hi Michael,

    In the parts illustration (I included the link) that describe it as the control panel though in the trade it is typically known as the membrane/touch pad.

    http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdir...

    The control board is the "main control" of the unit which everything connects to essentially. The control panel is as shown here...


    The number will change depending on the colour, so double check with your specific model number.

    Macmarkus :)

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

You can reset it by pressing two buttons in sequence 3-4 times, to reset your dishwasher press these buttons in sequence:

Normal wash-Air dry-
Normal wash-Air dry

If the issue remains then test the thermal fuse on the control board and if it has continuity then replace the board, if it tests open then replacing the fuse is recommended repair. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

I have a Maytag bravos 300 quiet series dryer that had a error code of F73. Lights come on without code but still doesn't start. Problem?

The F73 error code means that one or more of the control buttons on the touch pad is defective. You can clear the error code by the pushing clear/cancel button, if it doesn't reoccur all is well. If it ever happens again, you will need to replace the touch pad

I have a maytag dishwasher model # mdbtt70awb quiet series 300 when you push any of the wash cycle buttons nothing works. the only button that lights up is heated dry so there is at least power there....

I had the same issue try hitting delay 1hr and start the 1hr was solid not flashing and an hr later it's running just fine. Think I need a new control panel but for now this is working.

Maytag Quiet Series dishwasher won't start

Sounds like you have a bad Control Board

http://www.partstore.com/Part/Maytag/Maytag/MDB6600AWW/Maytag/Maytag/99003160/New.aspx

But with the price it cost, you might be better off buying a new dishwasher, preferably a different brand, cause that washer has some bad reviews

Maytag Quiet Series 300 Legacy Series Dishwasher

Mine was doing the same thing and I just pressed and held down the heated dry button until the light went off. Then I was able to start my machine as usual. Hope this works for you.

Maytag quiet series 300

Maytag Quiet Series 300. The lights flash in sequence starting from the outside traveling inward. The timer counts backwards from 50 to 1. Then the sequence starts over. and continues over and over. I'm able to clear it when the time reaches 1 or 2. It stays off for a while (3-4 hours) then starts over. I can not clear the countdown until it reaches 1 or 2. After I clear it the dishwasher will work, but until then, no way. This happens with the door open or closed.

Maytag Quiet Series 300 Will not work at all, only the lock feature is lit.

I had the same problem. The lock button light was on, nothing happened when pressing start, cancel, etc. I also tried holding the heated dry button (lock) for 3 seconds and no luck UNTIL holding down for three seconds while also pressing the cancel button. I was then able to start cycle as normal.
