possible blockage in vent if ok bad fan motor or heating element overheating

Press these keys :
Heated Dry----> Normal-----> Heated Dry-----> Normal

All the l.e.d.s should lite up and then, if you push start, it will go from function to function. push the button 8 or 9 times, then
Reset the power to the unit via the circuit break, then run a normal wash cycle and see if it completes...

Hi
If clean light is blinking 7 times then it may be an issue with heater circuit, door switch or wash pump. If yes then please reset the power to the dishwasher. After, 5 minutes check if you are still getting the same error. If yes, then it is a water heating fault. To resolve this error try pressing this reset sequence-- Heat Dry - Normal - Heat Dry - Normal or High Temp - Air Dry - High Temp - Air Dry or Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry, Hi Temp Scrub, energy saver dry. Now let the unit run for 2-3 minutes and then you press the Cancel/Drain button and allow it to completely drain and reset.
If this doesn't work then it's an issue with the wash pump not pumping the water past the heater efficiently or due to lack of water to heat. Please make sure that heater is not open circuited and is heating the water efficiently. You'll have to check the heater using a multimeter; the meter should read between 3000 to 3300 ohms (Use multimeter on Rx1 ohm setting). If heater is fine then make sure water pressure is optimum and fill valve is working fine. Hope this helps... Please post back for further assistance.

May have a bad heater. press hi temp, air dry,hi temp, air dry (or whatever button is equivalent on your model). this starts a test and will allow unit to work again. When drying light goes out touch the heater. If it is cold then it may be bad. You will need a voltmeter to tell for sure however.

Can be caused by detection of a heater circuit problem. You can reset by running the diagnostic cycle. To turn of the diagnostic cycle, press: HEATED DRY button, then NORMAL button, HEATED DRY button again, then NORMAL button. The cycle runsfor ~22 mins. When it completes, the blinking light should go out. You can then try running the dishwasher again. If the problem comes back, the heater element or Thermister may need to be replaced

If the wash light is blinking, there's an internal component problem there. Mainly the fuse is blown if it's blinking. Try to unplug the power of the unit overnight to reset it. If the same problem occurs, better have it repaired. If you can manually check the back panel of your machine to see if there's an open or shorted wire there, resoldering them could possibly fix it. The last resort is to contact a repairman to replace the burned internal electronic component.

- To clear the flashing light you will have to reset the console. Do this by closing the door and press these buttons in sequence...

-high temp wash
-heated dry

I went to the Maytag site looking for a manual. None existed for my model, but I looked up won't start under the FAQs. The advice said to push the cancel button twice. My model doesn't have one, so I just started at the left side of the control panel and pushed each button twice. pushing the dry button twice made the lights stop blinking. i pushed the wash button and the unit started.

Hold down the "HEATED DRY" button for 4 seconds to unlock.
Try to press these botton in sequence,Heated Wash, Heated Dry, Heated Wash, Heated Dry.release your hand, the unit will go into diagnostic mode. that is all leds will ON for a few seconds,and start normal operations.
If that does not work, you might need to check the electronic control board if the ribbon is seated properly.
Finally solution, is to change the electronic control board.

The blinks are the fault code on the unit you will have to watch them an count match them to the chart in the service manual
