Maytag Dishwasher not working right after storm/power loss

We had a storm last week and our dishwasher began working intermitently. Now I can set it for the wash cycle, but it just blinks and the lights eventually turn off but the cycle doesn't start. It was working after the storm, though I would have to press the button and keep trying, but now it seems that the cycle won't start at all. We had no problems until the storm. It is a Maytag Quiet Series 400 w/ digital controls and there's nothing in the manual re: this problem. We've had storms and lost power before but we've never had a problem until now.

With the unit switched on , switch off power at the wall switch for a few minutes , this should reset the computer , if not you will need a service call.

FYI... I followed Miss Midget's steps... and there it was... a piece of plastic... actually one of the end caps from the rack. Poor design if you ask me. So for all you "grinders" out there, it's an easy fix... just need the appropriate star screwdriver. It went back together easier than it did taking it apart. Thanks.

The dishwasher lights are all blinking, it starts randomly, like one in every 50 times you press the buttons. I have unplugged it to reset several times. Nothing is working. I'm looking for a solution to blinking lights and it not starting. is there any other way to reset the controls????

SOURCE: maytag quiet series 300 no power to touch controls

The only solution I have is buy another one. I also purchased from Home Depot, and purchased the extended warranty which of course was up a couple months ago. I am told that parts would be over $400 (panel and handle) plus instal, this after spending almost $200 on metal rollers to replace the plastic ones. I was also told doing this myself would not be easy. I called Maytag and was told no luck. I emailed them as well but did not receive the courtesy of a response. I should mention that the motor was replaced under warranty within a year of purchase.

Hold down the heated-dry button for 3 seconds and the light will clear.

Are you using a high clean setting? We had one that had "pot scrubber" as a setting and it used a lot of electricity.Look to see if there is a low power setting using less heat. In general they do use a lot of energy.

Maytag MDB9100AWW Dishwasher

We have this same model. Right under the 5 yr warranty mark, the control panel started going "funny". Some of the buttons stopped working, then more. We could finally get it working only in one mode. I was certain it was the control board, which I replaced under warranty just in time.

This lasted another year, until moisture began appearing under the number window and the left side button set stopped working. Now the right side is gone, except for the delay-start button.

I believe moisture is getting into the control board and frying it, either slowly or quickly. If you are seeing similar problems where buttons seem to stop working, it is PROBABLY the control board. It is a relatively easy home repair if you know your way around a screw driver.
