This is the problem, I have just replaced the door latch and the door latch assembly and now it works but it will not draw in water. Then I noticed that one of the soft touch buttons is lit up.. DELAY START. There is no reset and no cancel Delay Start. How can I cancel that function so I am able to see if the DW works. Checked the float and the water feed line both ok. There are options for 6, 4 and 2 hrs. Delay but can't close it and wait because the heat ring does get hot and without water it would not be good. Anything you can do to help me get this started would be great. THANK YOU
Shut the dishwasher off at the breaker. then restart it. See if that clears the board.you may have put the machine into a control lock out. Look for that button. press and hold it for 3 seconds. see if that doesn't clear the board.

I had this same problem. I read on another blog that the manual recommends that you turn the power off to dishwasher. When you turn the washer back on, the lights still flash but then push the off button. The lights stopped flashing.

Mine was doing the same thing and I just pressed and held down the heated dry button until the light went off. Then I was able to start my machine as usual. Hope this works for you.
SOURCE: clean light won't go out, can't use delay brew feature.
Try unplugging it for several minuets & see if it clears it..

I had this EXACT problem this morning and ended up calling the Sears Home Central Team out (I have an extended maintenance agreement). This is an error code that CAN BE RESET by the end user (you and me!) and doesn't need a repairmain. Here's what you do:
PRESS AND HOLD the START and CANCEL BUTTONS.
The four lights above the START button will begin to flash.
Continuing holding the START and CANCEL button and "spin" your wash selector knob to "SPIN".
Release the START and CANCEL buttons and Press the START button.
This will RESET the error codes within the system and allow you to "cancel out" of the DELAY START.
IF the error codes are "bad ones", then the system will stay locked and you'll need to call a repairman; however, this "fix" should work for MOST of the routine system error codes.
Worked on mine and we're a happy washing family once again!!

This was posted in another maytag qs300 thread there are 2 ways to fix the front panels on these dishwashers. My advice fix it as cheaply as possible and
save some cash to get a better dish washer because these
newer maytags are just plain awfull.
Quick fix for dishwasher from hell.
What I found was to turn off the breaker to the dishwasher, unscrew the
inside panel ( about 12 Torx screws ), remove the black cover on the
computer ( 1 hex head screw ) remove the ribbon cable coming from the
front panel by easing down the plastic locking tab, then take a soft
clean cloth and gently wipe the end of the ribbon cable (both sides) and
reinstall. This keeps our machine working for another couple of month,
when I go thru the same exercise again. I think it is condensation that
makes the ribbon cable connection bad or short across two of the lands.
Permanent fix for dishwasher from hell.
The flex cable shown in the pictures above was bad on my unit also. It
looks to me like they are pulling too much current through this cable to
run all the LED's on the front panel. Mine died the instant death so I
removed the touch pad and traced out the wiring.
The start/cancel switch is a connection between pin 6 and pin 10 on the
ribbon cable. There is a 10K resistor in series with the switch to limit
the current.
I tried to order the part from my local parts house and was told it was a
special order only and would take about 4 weeks to get. Later I found
you could purchase it off the internet and not have to wait quite as
long. Since the replacement part is the full plastic piece across the
top of the door I decided to try a mod. The touch panel is just glued to
the plastic piece so I removed it completely. That leaves some glue
that will need to be cleaned up but I can do that later.
I found a C&K momentary push button switch that fit in a 1/4 inch
hole. I drilled the front panel in the center to accept the switch. If
you moved it to one side it might not conflict with the latch switches
quite as much but I made it fit.
I then looked in my junk box and found two pieces of 18 gauge wire and
one 10K resistor. I put the resistor on the normally open pin on the
switch and then connected a wire to that. The other wire went to the
common pin on the switch.
When you look at the control board the pins are labeled as 2 on one end
and 18 on the other. You only see every other pin as there is another
row that is buried. You need pins 6 and 10 so they are on the visible
row. Use a small soldering iron and connect the two wires up to those
pins. It does not matter which one goes where.
Put it all back together and push the button. You do not have all the
flashing lights or options but I am now washing my first load of dishes
in several weeks.
