Wont start..light wash lights up and delay wash lights up but start button wont work. replaced handle and it worked one time

That sounds like you are on Pause or Delayed Start. Try Pressing and holding the button. You can also try disconnecting from the mains for 5 minutes.

When in doubt, read the manual :>D

START/PAUSE button with indicator light: starts or temporarily interrupts the wash cycles. N.B. To pause the wash cycle in progress, press this button; the corresponding indicator light will flash orange, while the indicator light for the current wash cycle phase will remain lit in a fixed manner. If the DOOR LOCKED indicator light is switched off, the door may be opened. To start the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press this button again.

and also

! If the START/PAUSE indicator light (orange) flashes rapidly at the same time as the function indicator light, this indicates a problem has occurred (see "Troubleshooting").

REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH.....NOT GETTING RUN COMMAND CAUSE SWITCH N DOOR NOT BEING MADE

First I made sure the detergent dispenser door was closed. That did not work. Then i made sure that the dispenser was clean, by running water thru it. That did not work,. Then I turned the dial to hand wash and pushed the start button. That worked. Delay light did not turn on. Then i turned the setting to the proper wash cycle and pushed the start button. Clothes are being washed now.

It is in a delay wash mode.
Disconnect power for 60 seconds.
Re-connect power.
Press the Cancel button.
Press the regular wash cycle and start the dw.

Lemme guess: First only one key failed, but OK, so we just use another setting. Then another key, then all keys but, say, AutoClean, but no Start, right? There is a ribbon cable connecting the keypad to a circuit board that corrodes from moisture, despite being "sealed" in a plastic sandwich. Imagine, moisture inside a dishwasher! As the corrosion progresses, it eventually breaks the connection to each key. Clearly a design flaw--Maytag has replaced this cable twice now (under warranty) in my first year of ownership, yet they continue to replace with the exact same part, and it fails in the exact same place each time.I fully expect this one to fail within six months or less. Only thing left is BBB.

the front control panel fries out.. We had to have ours replaced after 7 months ... after that was replaced it only lasted 2 months... WE ARE VERY disappointed and will be calling once again tomorrow. The dishwasher is not even a year old yet!

The 'Start' & 'Pause' LED's will flash together to indicate the error code. You have to count the flashes within each 15 second period to get that error code. The start and the pause LED's will flash together at 1Hz (i.e 1 flash per second) within that 15 second time frame, then will continue and show again within another 15secs and so on.

1 Flash = Interlock fault
2 Flashes = Fill time-out
3 flashes = Drain time-out
4 flashes = Overfill fault presure pipe blocked
5 flashes = NTC error
6 flashes = faulty control board
7 flashes = Motor jammed
8 flashes = Tacho fault
9 flashes = Motor triac on module board
10 flashes = Prog Selector or wiring fault

do all your buttons work on the panel? if not, replace the user interface, if they do, replace the main control.

hi there,

you have a door latch problem. the reason you can still push on the button is because this particular washer has a time delay function. i would recommend taking a look at the latch itself and possibly the wax motor that runs the latch.

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!!
