My Maytag dishwasher model MDB7100AWB stopped somewhere in the cycle & is making a soft clicking noise. It's full of water & I don't know if it did the wash or not. I turned it off & tried to restart but it only clicks. The control pad lights are lit & I can try other cycles but it does nothing except the soft click. We can repair it if we know what's gone wrong. Haven't found any repair info that tells us where the problem is. Please help?

I had this same problem. I think its the upper spray arm vibrating during wash cycle. To verify; prevent the upper arm from rotating by putting a long spatula through the top rack or zip tie the arm so it don't rotate. If the noise goes away you found your problem.

sounds like a bad wash motor.

Hello welcome

First I would recommend putting the washer in a diagnostic test mode to see if there is a stored error code indicating where the failure is. Once the cycle starts, it should progress on its own to the end of the cycle without needing any assistance. All you can really do is make sure the water supply (hot & cold) is on & the drain hose is not kinked or restricted. Here is a copy of the service manual showing the test modes & error codes. You can order the owners manual with part number 8566938 at www.sears.com

These have been known to leak water into the door panel. If so the water can cause a short. Your breaker is keeping the machine from lighting up. Check any seals that may have been braeched in the door. Start at the dispencer latch

Is the water filling up and then draining out? Mine did this and a part was broken inside the unit. The part was five dollars and called a lifter. I fixed it myself.
