20 Most Recent Maytag MDB8751BWB 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher - Page 2 Questions & Answers

I am not familiar with the model but I doubt it - few people these days use the highly inefficient soap dispenser, preferring to add detergent directly into the wash drum. I suggest you read the instruction booklet.

Sorry I only have more questions. If you observe the following things it may help rule out the thermostat or heating element . There are similarities to my problem. My dishwasher run for 4 seconds and stops briefly and starts again and will do that for ever. 1. Will it run properly in RINSE ONLY mode? 2. Does it run constantly or stop /starts continuously? 3. Does the soap dispenser open? 4. Does the timer count down? Ie cycle reads 2H and counts down, at least on my model. 5. Finally noticing if all the normal sequencing is happening. Ie turns on, pump empties the dishwasher, fill occurs, arms spin, and so forth. you should be able hear the unit empty and refill again and the rinse light goes on. Sorry I could'nt be more help but possibly we can help each other.

Yeah, those Maytag DW's are known for having latch problems. Usually, you can just pull the door open by pulling hard. But if that doesn't work, you might be able to unscrew the latch, and then open the door. With the door open, you can now take it apart to get to the latch and replace it.

I would try turning off all power to it for few minutes and see if it reset it’s self, before I go to any great expense.
Also I had a washer that quit working on one cycle but would work on the others, could try that as well. Hope this helps!

First step is similar to a computer. Reboot. Turn off your dishwasher at the breaker box. Hopefully your electrician designated a separate breaker for your dishwasher, otherwise whatever else is on that breaker will be off. Shut the breaker off; wait 10-15 minutes; turn breaker back on. This will resolve many issues and is the first step to try.

Shut the dishwasher off at the breaker. then restart it. See if that clears the board.you may have put the machine into a control lock out. Look for that button. press and hold it for 3 seconds. see if that doesn't clear the board.

all direction are on display when you close check a light comes its secure of course after you put detergent open the fawcet water inlet if any warm light on check the status probably you hava a damage switch door

Try pulling out maximum distance and then lift up at the front and then slide toward you.

Hi! Here I'm adding a link to manual of a similar Maytag dishwasher. Hope it helps. https://manualsbrain.com/en/manuals/1261364

Most likely the control panel is defective.

The Maytag spray arms always get clogged and stop spinning. There is no easy way to remove the food matter from the inside of the spray arm after it gets pretty filled....UNTIL NOW...Drill a 1/4" hole on each end of the spray arm on the top. This method works for either spray arm, but be careful to leave at least 1/8" of distance from the two small holes that spray out water, when you drill the hole. Then using a Dremel tapered stone grinding bit enlarge the hole to 5/16" to accommodate a stainless steel 5/16" plug with the inside hex head. Also use the fine thread, not the course thread, as it will screw more securely onto the thin stainless gage arm and will last. Grind to enlarge the hole a little at a time to make sure your plugs thread into the arm snugly. I have been using our modified arms on our Maytag for over a year and we now have consistently sparkling, clean dishes. We run the washer twice per day and clean out the arms at least once per week which takes only two or three minutes.

Look at drain lines under sink, if you have PVC put a bucket or large plastic pan under and remove all the drain lines and inspect them. Look at air gap or ensure drain line highest point is just under the bottom of counter top,. look at pump in dw to ensure is is working.

Most likely door seal is leaking

I have an old GE that did the same thing, if I don't use it enough it will do the same thing. The hum is from the electric motor in the bottom trying to rotate. I don't know your machine but I assume they are all made closely the same. Remove the bottom cover. You should see the back of the motor and it will probably have some slots in the rear cover. Close the door and try to start it while looking through the rear slots. I saw mine turn like an 1/8 inch and stop. The first time it did this, I unplugged a connector feeding the motor, tried to start it to make sure it didn't do anything and then with a long thin screwdriver went to the slots to help turn the motor. The second time I discovered on the right side of the motor housing there was a small opening towards the front of the motor (rear of dishwasher) I was able to get my fingers in there and turn the motor a few times by hand, plug the connector back in and the dishwasher started right up. Seems like the engineers knew this could be a problem and left an access point for us (or dishwasher repairmen to use and charge us $80 or something)

That is possible. The unit should get water from a hot source anyway.The internal heater just raises the temp of the water if it needs to.

I would think something is blocking the intake or the pump rotor?
