Thread: Maytag Quiet Series 300 Dishwasher - Control Panel Dead

Hi,

I have a Maytag Quiet Series 300 Dishwashwer - Model Number MDBTT79AWS which is a little over 4 years old. It stopped working in the middle of a cycle and seemed to go completely dead, which also left quite a bit of water in the bottom.

I have checked that none of the breakers tripped, so it should still have power. Before yanking it out of the wall or calling a service tech I wanted to see if I could isolate the problem first. From previous posts in this forum the control board seems to go bad on these. However some people have a bad latch and some have a corroded ribbon cable. Is there a way to test the latch without taking the inner cover off the door, or some other way to narrow down the possibilities without a complete tear down?

Thanks for any assistance,
Marc
