Maytag will not start, has power and control panel running fine

Need some help!! I have a Maytag DWU9906BAB dishwasher and it stopped working (It's about 15 years old). Got power, lights on control panel working, but get no water flowing into machine. Checked water supply lines in/out and they seem fine and its built in so no movement
or connection changes occured. Ran the unit 2-3 days before and it seemed a bit louder than usual. Could this be a pump/motor issue. It sees light use about 2-3 loads a week. We have hard water though, which might be a kill for the pump. It has treated us well no problems in whole time that I have owned it. Wondering if there might be a easy fix, is there an auto check sequence prior to water flow that might not be allowing flow (checked handle it seems to be in good working order, get snap when closed, but it does have a bit of play) Any thoughts on what else to check or if pump/motor maybe have seen there last run. Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts you can provide. JEB

Do you ever clean it with a dishwasher cleaning agent and run it on any wash mode?

SOURCE: Fills with water, sounds like it starts to pump water then stops, then start again

you have a wash pump problem. can be 1 of 3 things. most likely something is caught in the pump impelor if not the wash pump motor may be faulty or ceized or it could be the capacitor for the wash pump motor is faulty. you can try removing the wash pump yourself and check the impelor if it spins freely then you will have a motor problem.
hope this helped

SOURCE: Maytag dishwasher, no power, then flashing lights, now no power.

Had the same problem, removed the kick panel to find a set of instructions under the insulation, had to push a sequence of the panel buttons, its been running great for a couple of weeks now!

SOURCE: power not coming on

When a dishwasher appears to be dead, many times the door latch is to blame. On some models, that latch has a safety interlock switch directly controls the power, so that when the door is opened during a wash cycle, power is removed.

The problem is that the interlock switch can fail or get un-aligned, so the dishwasher does not get power.

Depending on your skill level, you can investigate the problem, using a phillips screw driver to open up the latch so you can see the interlock.
Good Luck!

If there are no lights on the control panel then initially check if connections to the panel are fine.If they look fine then you definitely need a new control panel. No need for a new touch panel.Its always that the control panel goes faulty,not the touch panel.
you can also check for competitive rates from local dealers and few sites like--repairclinic.com and applianceparts.com
thanks.

most likely you have a bad motor when replacing the motor ihave found it is cheaper to get the pump with the motor attached where as they charge you more money for just the motor or the pump seprately try allbrands appliance parts they seem to be cheaper

Maytag Dishwasher has all lights lit on the panel after reset.

I would try turning off all power to it for few minutes and see if it reset it’s self, before I go to any great expense.
Also I had a washer that quit working on one cycle but would work on the others, could try that as well. Hope this helps!

Maytag dishwasher stopped mid cycle with water in bottom. no touch buttons work. Should I start looking for a new one?

I had no lights on my control panel, eventhough power was good.
I replaced the control panel ($265 part), it worked for 2 weeks, then I now have the same problem.
Frustrated, I am probably going to buy new from a different manufacturer.
Whirlpool/maytag does not warranty electronic parts if you do it yourself.

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 200 dishwasher doesn't start

The electronic control panel has gotten wet and needs to be replaced (about $200 for parts plus about $200 for service call/labor) I just had mine replaced about 10 month ago, stopped using the type of dishwasher soap I had based on Maytag Service staff recommendation, stopped using hot wash to prevent high condensation at the door and now its broken again and in need of a new control panel again. You may be money ahead to go buy a new dishwasher that does not have the plastic encased control panel at the top. My understanding is the control panels are poorly engineered and made for most dishwasher manufactures by one of the mega electronic/appliance companies.

Maytag Quiet Series 300 Dishwasher not working (Model MDB5601A)

While I am not directly aware of the controls on the dishwasher I'd unplug it for a minute or two to see if the control reboots (for lack of a better term) I've seen many electroic devices that on occasion have this type of problem and simply taking the power from it may correct it.
I hope this helps,

Maytag Performa Dishwasher draws water then stops

More than likely you need to replace the washer control panel.
