MAYTAG JET CLEAN DISHWASHER MODEL # MDB7100AWB, WILL NOT RUN THROUGH CLEANING CYCLES, TRICKLES WATER UP FRONT DRAINS VERY BRIEFLY, REPEATS THIS FOR A PERIOD NEVER KICKS INTO THE WASH CYCLE, THEN COMES UP BLINKING CLEAN/FINISHED?

Time for a new unit, this could be a defective mother board sensing sequence, the lines may need to be replaced but would be cheaper to buy new unit than have someone take apart and rebuild.

More than likely the control panel is defective. Contact the company at the link for troubleshooting help[ and also the parts that you may need.

probably the drain pump, access is underneath and to the right of pump housing, the drain hose connects to main housing and the drain motor is right and just behind where hose connects. open door part way for easier access. and use shop vac to remove as much water as possible, then have 2 or 3 bath towels to clean up if you try on your own. local parts house will have drain pump if you take model # with you

Hello

There are some things you can try, however, if your Maytag dishwasher is not getting your dishes as clean as you would like. Maytag recommends several processes for fixing this issue with your dishwasher.


Do not run your Maytag dishwasher while hot water is being used in other parts of your home, such as washing clothes or showering. Hot water is needed for your Maytag dishwasher to properly clean dishes.


Run water in the sink in your kitchen until it gets very hot. Then, turn on your Maytag dishwasher. This will ensure that the water cleaning your dishes is the hottest possible temperature.


Clean your Maytag dishwasher to improve the cleaning results for dishes. Run your dishwasher on a short wash cycle and wait for it to fill up with water. Stop the cycle and add about 1/3 of a cup of rust remover to the dishwasher and finish the cycle. Run your Maytag dishwasher through one normal cycle with regular detergent to finish the cleaning process.


Check your detergent. Old detergent or those that have been exposed to moisture can be clumpy. This detergent will not clean your dishes as well when loaded into your Maytag dishwasher. Purchase fresh detergent.


Use extra detergent when washing dishes that have a lot of built-up grease or food particles. The extra amount of detergent is needed to get your dishes clean. Choose a long cleaning cycle to clean these dishes.


Fill your Maytag dishwasher properly. Dishes should not be stacked on top of each other or excessively crammed into your dishwasher. This will keep the dishwasher from adequately cleaning all areas of your dishes and from rinsing them thoroughly.

take off the bottom panel there are 4 screws you got take they are 1/4 inch screws  once the panel is off turn on the dishwasher and see where exactly the leak is coming from

try to clean the filter by taking off the bottom section of the water jet, it might be clogged, if that does not work, u got the same problem as me, it just wont drain. The pump is probably broken.

sounds like a bad wash motor.

run a cycle thru with no dishes and 2 cups of vingar this will flush out the unit then run a normal load should be ok let me know THERE also is a product called dishwasher magic you can run that thru as well but the vingar is cheaper

give me your model # its important thank you
