Maytag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher, dishes come out dirty

Maytag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher, dishes are dirty, control panel only works some of the time, bad smell coming from dishes and dishwasher. Dishwasher arms turn ok, but dishes come out dirty. Gunk inside glasses and plates grimy. I practically wash them before they go in and still dirty. Our control panel went after 2 years and we had to get a new one and we also got a water softener which was supposed to fix this prob. Nothing works.

A water softner will not make the dishes any cleaner, it just makes it so they don't have water spots on them.
If the dishes are dirty, it is most likely that the nozzles (holes) in arms may be plugged.
Also check to make sure you are getting plenty of water to dishwasher. Make sure all water valves are full turned open.

If the control panel does not work all the time, it is very likely you have either a shorted wire, or a fualty main board which is very common in newer machines.

Maytag dishwasher legacy quiet series 300 clean light stays on after cycle is over

That light will remain on until you remove the dishes that are in there so that you know what is inside is clean and not dirty.

My dishwasher the maytag quiet series 300, will not respond to the start button

Find your circuit breaker for your dishwasher and turn it off for 3-5 minutes. Turn it back on, then turn on your dishwasher. If this works, after the complete cycle of your dishwasher, you have to turn it off manually by pressing "on" botton then press it 1 more time to cancel; this will turn off. The defect is, probably the moisture built up in the control board causing it to ground some of the connections. Suggestion for the manufacturer, insulate the control board to prevent absorbing moisture.

I have a Maytag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher that won't start. There is power going to the unit, but the control planner was not function. please help.

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.

Maytag Quiet Series 300 dishwasher, dishes are dirty, control panel only works some of the time, bad smell coming from dishes and dishwasher.

Our control panel is fine. For now. (The machine is only 3 months old). This is our problem--and I haven't yet seen this complaint at all over the internt: The lower wash arm is getting stuck on the bottom rack and stopping immediately. This seems to be a design flaw. The bottom rack is just built too low. A service man was out once. He tightened the wash arm. Didn't work. The service department at the dealership is now ignoring our subsequent calls!! So I wonder if the "not cleaning" problem you have is because of this.

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.
