My dishwasher I have a magtag quiet series dishwasher that has decided to have a mind of it's own.. It runs a cycle works great except that after the cycles run its decided to turn off for up to 3days before it will come back on , its almost like it locks itself up. none of the touchpad buttons will work. Then after 2-3 days it'll come back on run 1 cycle then poof back off again. At first I thought it might be the door latch but now I'm sure thats not whats going on..does the dishwasher come with a preset timer or something? I thought it might be getting to hot but I turned off the sanatize & the dry options during the last cycle with no luck .. Its quite confusing anyone have any ideas what might be going on? Thanks Melissa

John, I had the same problem and just disassembled by removing the dozen or so screws around the inside of the door, lifting the waterproof panel, and pulling up the latch assembly to see what was broken. In my case there were plastic pieces broken off of the latch handle and where the latch hinges on the back of the control panel-the latter piece is $50 to replace. unfortunately. Good news is the disassembly and replacement will be easy as a DYI. Sorry this is too late to help you, but maybe others will have the same problem. Bruce

most likely you have a bad motor when replacing the motor ihave found it is cheaper to get the pump with the motor attached where as they charge you more money for just the motor or the pump seprately try allbrands appliance parts they seem to be cheaper

I have same problem with my Maytag. Had a repair guy come out and he said it's the 'controller card', not the button touchpanel. The controller card is $127 and not in stock and there's a 'several month wait'. I'm not going to wait, going to buy something used for less than the price of a new controller card. Maytag's quality has really deteriorated in the past few years. They used to have a 5yr warranty on pretty much everything - now it's only 1yr. (and of course, mine failed just a few weeks after the 1 yr time.
