Scroll about half way down the page, in the left column, under Maytag products, select the Maytag / Jenn Air / Jet Clean II "Tall Tub" Dishwasher repair manual... it covers your model dishwasher..

It includes a troubleshooting guide as well repairing instructions

Best wishes on your project.

The reason the temperature are going up is the heating system is defective. The thermostat on the booster (rinse) is not satisfied. First thing to verify is the contactor that is activated by the rinse thermostat. Often one of the wires on the contactor will burn.

If the machine will fill on its own when it is empty then the rinse cam on the timer is defective

How do I find those wire in the machine?

Hi. Run your hottest and longest cycle with no soap, no dishes and 2 cups of white vinegar. Also, run the hot water into the sink before starting the dishwasher. Once the sink water is as hot as it gets, then push the start on the dishwasher. J.

there are two screws on the card of youy chainsaw one is the slow running jet the other is the full throttle jet start up saw run it till its hot adjust slow running jet first till saw ticks over ok then adjust fast running jet till you have full throttle,, start with both screw turned in to one and a half turns then adjust from there

Make sure your water is hot, at least 120deg f. Also, use least amount of soap you can get away with. Usually around 2 tablespoons for soft water. Use powdered soap not gel. Gel leaves a tiny residue each load and will clog up plumbing in dw after 4,5,or 6 years. Rinse agent such as Jet Dry is highly recommended.

Try the "Tang" trick. Orange Tang drink mix is mildly acidic. With an empty dishwasher, start and fill, then normal drain. On second fill, add a full jar of Tang then let the dishwasher run for a few minutes. Crack the door to stop the dishwasher and let it sit for several hours or overnight. Then close the door, push start and let the dw run through the remaining cycle. This will sometimes clean out the crud in the water lines.

Hope this helps! Ken

This may help in your situation. The following link explains how you may be able to clear the blinking clean light problem:

Now...keep in mind all dish washers are not alike and have different panel options. If you do not have the same set up as I have referenced, the tech sheet for your dishwasher will explain. The tech sheet is located behind the lower toe panel under the door and lists the proper sequence of buttons to push for diagnostics and troubleshooting.

NOTE: Sometimes the tech sheet is located behind the inner door panel. You will need to remove the screws securing the inner panel to access it if this is the case. Make sure you turn off the main power breaker before doing so.

Sometimes this can be a momentary glitch in operation. However, if the problem keeps reoccuring the number of flashes is an indication of which circuit is causing your problem. Again, refer to your tech sheet to determine this.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you solve your problem.

Ouch.

Before you start changing all sort of parts, correct your problem with the wires. You may have to change most of them, depending on how bad the chemical burned tru them.

A good cleaning is required because that soap is going to continue chewing on those wires.

You're right about a short causing other component failure. But first repair those wires
