My Maytag dishwasher stopped working correctly. When I start the cycle, I hear water begin to fill, but then just stops. I have canceled and then tried all wash options and the same thing happens. Sometimes, when the wash cycle stops, I can periodically hear a click sound near the buttons panel. Before I begin “tearing” apart to check filter and drain area, could it be a possible electronic issue.

Hello Jerry, thank you for your question. This sounds more like a Water inlet Valve PS11752927 issue that an electrical one. The solenoids on the valve open and close according to the desired amount of water needed. You can find it behind the lower kickplate panel in either the right or left corner. And, we have a video of how to replace it on our site. We hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Melvin, thank you for contacting us. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you check the turbidity sensor, part number PS12070543, as it is most likely faulty. In some cases, the turbidity sensor can malfunction and continues to detect particles when there is none to be found. If your dishwasher has begun to run indefinitely on a wash cycle, this is most definitely the cause of it and your turbidity sensor will need to be replaced. We hope this helps!
My Maytag dishwasher will not dry my dishes all the way. I have changed the heating element.

Hello Brandy, thank you for contacting us. We believe your dishwasher is having this problem because of the faulty control board, part number PS12583931. It manages the functions of the dishwasher, such as washing, draining and drying. We would suggest replacing it to solve the problem. Glad to be of assistance!

Hello Leslie, thank you for contacting us. Check the door latch, part number PS11756967. If the door latch is faulty, the dishwasher will not detect a close door and will not work properly. Inspect the door latch for any damage. You can also use a multimeter to test the micro switch inside the door latch for electrical continuity. Check the float switch, part number PS11750031. The float switch tells the dishwasher when there is enough water. If it's stuck due to debris or malfunction, it can incorrectly signal the unit to stop. Inspect it and ensure it moves freely. We hope this information helps!
Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.
Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release the old pump.
First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.
1. Open the dishwasher and remove the two plastic grommets about halfway down on either side of the opening. Then remove the two screws under the grommets.
2. Remove the kick plate under the door. May have to lower unit by turning the feet using the adjustable wrench.
3. Make sure you have enough slack in the water input line and electrical wiring that you can pull the dishwasher out about 12 inches or more.
4. There is a spring and nylon rope link on both sides of the unit. Probably just one link is broken, but the replacement comes with two, so you can replace both or save one as a spare. Look at the good side and it should be pretty self explanatory how it attaches. I found it easiest to first thread the link around the lower pulley, then attach the link to the spring, then spring to the rear support, then the link to the door.
