Is the dishwasher heating ? , check heating element / pcb

Not a bad breaker its a dead short in the dishwasher.

Hello, welcome to FixYa. I understand you have a Maytag dishwasher based on your post, correct ? If so could you post a reply with the model number of this machine and I'll see what I can find for you. There were some recalls on Maytag units a while back, but I don't want to speculate...it's better to wait for the model number, in fact a serial number as well would be even more beneficial. I look forward to your reply and assisting you going forward. I hope you can appreciate there are many scenarios even within the "Maytag" brand. Thank you. Regards, Macmarkus :)

Check the door switch

Hi

It may be an issue with heater circuit, door switch or wash pump, please reset the power to the dishwasher. After, 5 minutes check if you are still getting the same error. If yes, then it is a water heating fault. To resolve this error try pressing this reset sequence-- Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal or High Temp - Air Dry - High Temp - Air Dry or Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry, Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry. Now let the unit run for 2-3 minutes and then you press the Cancel/Drain button and allow it to completely drain and reset. If this doesn't work then it's an issue with the wash pump not pumping the water past the heater efficiently or due to lack of water to heat. Please make sure that heater is not open circuited and is heating the water efficiently. You'll have to check the heater using a multimeter; the meter should read between 3000 to 3300 ohms (Use multimeter on Rx1 ohm setting). If heater is fine then make sure water pressure is optimum and fill valve is working fine. Hope this helps... Please post back if you need more information.

Hi

First make sure that nothing is blocking the drain pump assembly located inside the lower front panel of the dishwasher. If the issue returns after its cleaned then it means that the control board has gone bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Use the heated dry and do leave the door open a crack after each wash and you should have no issues.

When you run a dishwasher, there is usually food particles left over from a cycle. First thing is to check the lent screen. The lent screen is located on the bottom usually in the back of the dishwasher. If you want to put some gloves on and remove it and turn on the drain cycle on your dishwasher. If that doesn't do it turn off the power to the dishwasher by the breaker box, and check your hoses inside the dishwasher.
