Maytag quiet series 300 - sandy residue

For the last few months my dishwasher has been leaving sandy particles behind. they are in the bottom of the dishwasher and left behind on the dishes. I have to either re-wash or wipe off all dishes before they get put away. Some are need to be rewahsed as they are not getting clean anymore. My heater on the bottom (not sure what it is called) is covered in crust. Could this be the cause? If so, how do I get rid of it?
If not - what else could it be?

    I have a Maytag 200 series dishwasher with the same problem. Dirty residue left behind. It doesn't matter if I've just cleaned out the dishwasher with bleach and vinegar or not. HELP!

    Same problem exactly as described. Is this a design flaw or a filter that needs cleaned?

    I have the quiet series 200 and have the same issue. This dishwasher seems plagued with issues.

    The glasses, particularly on the upper shelf of my dishwasher, have crud/residue left inside, at the bottom, which is dried on after the cycle ends. I have to re-wash my dishes after the cycle. It's nuts.

Dishwasher drain pump flapper (inlet side)

My Quiet Series does the same thing and I wondered if the orange flapper has gone bad and lets the dirty water drain back from the hose sloping up to the garbage disposal. Did you get an answer to this question? The dishwasher seemed to work fine and then it suddenly started leaving food particles on the glasses.

Foul smell coming from Maytag Quiet Series 300

Hello jscott,
It is typical nowdays for most dishwashers not to drain all water out of the bottom tub (Even where you cant see) due to siphon design and energy efficiency. Try using about a liter of vinegar and throw it on the bottom tub of the dishwasher. Let it run through a full cycle and see how that works. Has worked for me

Maytag dishwasher quiet series 400. Dishes have hard stuck on grit and food particles after rinsed and dried.

Very common problem is soap build up in these machines. Try putting it into a wash cycle with no dishes, and no soap. Let it wash for about 5 minutes, and then open the door. If you see alot of soap suds, then soap build up is the problem. Try doing a couple loads with no soap, and no dishes, and throw a cup of vinegar into the machine halfway through the wash. Repeat as necessary. This should solve your problem.

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.

Hi jeffwirch,

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your problem is: You have a maytag quiet series 300. When it is done with any of the cycles in leaves about 1-2 inches of water in the bottom of the dishwasher. You can manually hit the start button twice and it will go through a 2 minute cycle and pump out the water. You have cleaned the filter inside the dishwasher where it drains and have checked the hose to the disposal and it pumps out fine. It just doen't pump itself at the end of the cycle.

It sounds like a bad control board. It's in the top of the door panel. I don't recomend this repair to the average homeowner. You might consider the Repair Directory to find a repairman.
