I have a maytag quiet series 300 dishwasher. On the control panel there is a green light on next to a picture of what appears to be a lock with a number 3 in the middle of it. I am not able to use my dishwasher because of this problem. How do I fix this issue?

press and hold the heated dry button 3 seconds it will unlock the dishwasher. That 3 with the lock around it show you that the dishwasher has been locked out to keep buttons from being able to be pushed. You can lock it and unlock it by holding the heated dry button 3 seconds.
The control panel has bee locked. Press and hold the heated dry button for 3 seconds until the light next to the lock "3" button goes off. This feature is to prevent small children from starting it. Locking the controls works the same way, hold the heated dry button for 3 seconds will turn it back on.
A water softner will not make the dishes any cleaner, it just makes it so they don't have water spots on them. If the dishes are dirty, it is most likely that the nozzles (holes) in arms may be plugged. Also check to make sure you are getting plenty of water to dishwasher. Make sure all water valves are full turned open.
If the control panel does not work all the time, it is very likely you have either a shorted wire, or a fualty main board which is very common in newer machines.
Mine was doing the same thing and I just pressed and held down the heated dry button until the light went off. Then I was able to start my machine as usual. Hope this works for you.
