hi Christine. see if this link helps you out. portable maytag dishwasher is locked and cannot open it Google Search

Unplug from power and see if this resets the control panel. Good luck.

there is one or more wire shorting out [frying]. If you can access the wiring system you will see the wire[s] that have been burnt through the plastic covering. You really shouldnt use it until you get it fixed as it could catch fire.You now have one or more exposed, "hot" wire being exposed to other wires when the machine is on. Plastic burns quite easily. Its not the element. Thats just an accumulation of "salts" from the dishwashing detergent. If you want you can gently wipe an element with a damp cloth. [do the same with your stove and oven elements too]

There are several possible problems that could cause this. The first step to diagnose the problem is to disconnect the washer from power. You will probably need to shut power off at the circuit breaker panel and leave it shut off for at least three minutes. This ought to clear the memory of the logic board (computer) in the machine. When you reset the breaker, the machine could work. The problem could also be in the panel controls themselves and Maytag has replaced some of these panels. Your washer might be one that should have a new panel from Maytag and you can find this out by contacting Maytag through their website.

Get a hold of the company you bought it from. Should be under warranty.
