Flashing lights on Maytag dishwasher

My dishwasher (Maytag MDBH955AWW) no longer starts any of its cycles when the ''Start'' button is pushed. Only three buttons on the control panel will light up when pushed: ''Light Wash'', ''Delay'' and ''Hi Temp Wash''. However, none of these buttons will activate an actual wash cycle. After being pushed, they will remain on or will flash for several seconds, and then go off. Nothing in the troubleshooting guide in the owner's manual for this dishwasher matches these symptoms. What parts or procedures will fix this problem?

Check whether the door is getting closed fully. Try pushing little hard. If the door close switch problem it may work.

Contact service for help if u can not proceed further with electrical circuits. Micro-controller board to be checked!

The "clean" light is green, flashing.Dishwasher won't restart.

Hi,

This is due to the water not heating properly. I have put together some instructions on how to reset the control so you can use the dishwasher again and what to check for as to why it failed. Follow the link and let me know if it was helpful.

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!

Cancel light and rinse only light keep blinking and wont start

Hello,

Hopefully you have resolved your issue. I have not heard of the cancel light flashing issue. I have had problems with the clean light flashing seven times over and over and the control panel will not operate. Here is the solution to that. Maybe it will work for your issue as well.

Open dishwasher door,
Push Hi Temp Scrub button,
Push Saver Dry button,
Push Hi Temp Scrub button again,
Push Saver Dry button again,
All lights on control panel will come on.
Close dishwasher door,
Push Baked on Cookware or Normal Button.
Dishwasher should start and complete cycle.

It is good if you have kids that play video games. Their fingers are used to pushing buttons quickly. I guess this resets the control board. The service guy let me have this info as I used to deliver appliances and work on them somewhat.Hope this helps.

Good Luck,
Tom
