Dish washer keeps flipping breaker and sometimes has a slight burning smell. Nothing is on the heating element
For model number MDBH979SAM0
Hello Justin, Thank you for your inquiry. Researching the model number that you have provided, this could be caused by an issue with the motor and pump slowly breaking down and/or overheating and causing a short and a burning smell. Check the wiring going to the circulation pump and motor for any visible damage, and check the pump housing for any visible damage and test it with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. Good luck with your repair.
Hi
I have a Maytag dishwasher Model #MDBH979SAM0.
It takes several attempts to get the dishwasher to start washing. It will attempt to start and then stop with flashing lights. At that point, I have to hit cancel, let it drain, and start over with another attempt.
It can take a number of tries to get it going (never on the first attempt), but it does finally start after a while. This is the case on all wash settings.
Once it starts washing, it seems to do a good job, but it will not stop on it own. The cycle continues to run until I hit the cancel button to stop it.
Let me know what can be done to fix this.
thanks

Repaiman replaced gasket around door, machine still leaks from bottom of door on the left side. What else could cause this machine to leak???
For model number MDBH979SAM0
Hello Marilyn, thank you for your inquiry. You will need to replace the lower door seal, part number PS11755651, to fix the leakage issue. We hope this is helpful!
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) Remove top and bottom dish baskets from the dishwasher, this will give you room to work. To remove top basket there are clips at the end of the slide rails. 2) Remove lower spray arm by unscrewing plastic screw, it should only be hand tight. 3) In order to remove the strainer cover, you will need to remove the plastic tube that takes water to the middle and top spray arms. Unclip this tube from the top and middle clips and then work it out of the strainer assembly tube. Now you should be able to remove the tube at the bottom of the dishwasher by unscrewing it 1/4 turn. 4) Remove the strainer cover by unscrewing the 4 Torqs screws. 5) You will now see two smaller torqs screws that hold the hold the Chopper Assembly cover down. Take these two screws out and remove the two piece cover. 6) Pull out the broken Chopper Assembly, make sure you get all the pieces! 7) Install the new Chopper Assembly. Make sure that you install the Assembly with the small part of the screen towards the bottom of the housing. Also make sure you compress the spring as you install the part. I used a small pair of neddle nose pliers to compress the spring behind the screen in order to install the chopper assembly. 8) Put everything back together and make sure it works!
