Hi What L??? I mean the unit should flash two letter error
code, please check again and if you can elaborate & please post back for further assistance. Daniel
Thanks, L means locked and to unlock the controls press and hold the ENERGY SAVER DRY/HEATED DRY button for 15 seconds.
Unplug the unit and then plug it back after 10 minutes, after this press the buttons that are not working one by one, it might have got locked due to a stuck key and if the issue remains then the touch pad assembly seems to have gone bad and should be replaced.
You can reset the breaker, if the issue remains even after that then it means the touch pad assembly should be replaced as it is bad. Accepting the solution pays me for my assistance, please post back for further assistance.

Hi.
The model indicated: MDB5651A does not have display and the error codes are shown like flashing lights. If that is your model and problem please just tell me what lights are flashing.
In Maytag with display instead, the L on display means that the machine is control locked. That is not an error message, but a code telling that the machine has been locked by the user (probably by mistake since you are the user).
I quote from Maytag technical documentation:
• If a cycle or option pad is pressed after the controls have been
locked, the indicator light next to lock graphic will flash five
times. On selected models with a countdown display, the display will
flash the symbol "L" simultaneously with lock indicator.
• This option does not lock the door, only the dishwasher controls.
To set :
1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.
2. An indicator light next to the lock graphic will illuminate when the controls are locked.
To Cancel Control Lock:
1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.
2. The indicator light will go off as instructed.
Try pressing the the Heated Dry pad for three seconds. If that doesn't work disconnect power. Connect back and try again unlock (power off does not remove the lock). If that still does not work there may be a faulty part. In that case turn appliance off and give me the full model number.
Start holding down the Heated Dry pad for three seconds. In normal conditions that is enough to get rid of the L and of control lock.
If you need parts or schematics see this tip explaining how to find parts and diagrams for most appliances: Where do I find parts and diagrams for my appliance?

MDB9601AWS... It is only flashing a capital L. I can't get it to do anything else. None of the other lights are coming on... nothing.
okay, I got it to unlock... now only the buttons on the right side of the panel are lighting up... nothing on the left side, which has the auto clean, heavy, normal and light washes. Any reason why the panel isn't working right? And how did it get locked?
I can't get to the plug. For some reason the unit won't pull out... do you know about that? It seems to be working now, just not lighting up.
Thanks. You were very helpful.
