I have a mdb7100aww in a house I bought seven years ago; the dishwasher is acting like it does not have power. Is there a reset button near the bottom front? Jerry @ [email protected]

I would start off by unplugging the unit (under your sink) for awhile which should reset the electronics. Then try it again. If that doesn't fix it, then it is probably your control board that is bad.

Turn off the dishwasher and unplug it from the power supply. Wait 10 minutes and restore power.

Select a "Hi Temp" wash cycle, followed by a heated dry setting on the dishwasher.

Repeat step 3. This will reset the dishwasher.

The dishwasher should be plugged into a GFCI outlet, most likely in the cabinet under the sink. Check to make sure the outlet has not tripped. There should be test and reset buttons on the outlet. Reset it and try again. The GFCI outlet has a finite life span and I have seen the outlet fail. If there is no power after a reset, then try to replace the outlet with a similar one. If the outlet is not under the sink, it may be behind the dishwasher.

Sounds like child lock.
Have you tried holding the button that shows the 3 with the padlock for 3 seconds?

I will look a bit further in detail about your dishwasher problem. I am assuming you have checked the inlet water tap to the dishwasher is turned on.

Thermal fuse mounted to the control board see if you have power on each side of it checking from post to ground,if you got power going in but none going out it's blown,and has a more serious issue somewhere.

we have a model mdvtt53aww1 and you can push three buttons and will light up the hi temp wash, heated dry and sanitize is there a code make it start
