Question about Maytag 24 in. MDB8951AWS Stainless Steel Built-in Dishwasher

1 Answer

Not draining After cycle is complete, there is still unclear water at the bottom of the dishwasher. Upon waiting a period time it will usually drain the second try. Or third. The dishes need a full wash after it recovers because of the film on them. We have soft water, and use Cascade hard tabs. Rinse aid is full. Dishwasher not even one year old. Worked fine for 10 mo. PLease reply. Heidi

Check that the pump/filter is not blocked or that the drain hose is not "back filling from the sink waste piping -if it is plumbed in there.

Kenmore Elite(Bosche) 630.139 dishwasher. Water is not draining out the unit. Cleaned drain & reset cycle. Upon start up you can hear the washer cycle on but the water does not run into the unit.
Sounds like your water entry problem is most likely a water entry solenoid.
As for draining out water try this...
Get a couple of gallons of water and manually place it in the bottom of the dishwasher. Hit start and see if this drains the water. If it does not, see if this water at least is able to be pumped around inside by waiting for the wash cycle to begin. That tells you that the wash pump is OK. Next hit the cancel button and see if it drains on that command. If the water placed in the dishwasher still remains there without draining that is probably a timer control board if this is part of the water entry problem as well.
Having two separate issues .....
water in and water out not functioning suggests a control board issue. Hope it's not the board. They are expensive.

Tabletop dishwasher not draining
this will sound silly but the amount of times this has been the cause will justify the question, if the drain hose is conected to a spout off the sink trap, has the plug at the base of the spout been removed to allow water to drain?

Otherwise >

disconect the power then tilt the dishwasher about 45 degrees to the front then back, hold it in each position for about 10 seconds, water will come out so be prepared for that. back to level and try it again,

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

Dishwasher not draining completely problem usually occurs due to clogged/blocked drain hose-filter assembly or the drain pump not working. First try to clean the drain hose and drain pump filter located inside the front bottom panel for any clogs, then check drain pump operation. Take off the bottom access panel to clean the drain pump filter and hose. If the problem returns after cleaning then it is the drain pump that needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

D/W does NOT drain. Water remains in bottom after cycle is completed

Hi


Dishwasher not draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present. If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain filter and drain pump.


Please note that dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element doesn

Dishwasher keeps tripping electric
Two things to consider....clean water or dirty water?
Clean water usually indicates the fill valve is not shutting off all the way and the fill valve is "weeping" water in all the time = new fill valve time!!
Dirty water usually is not a dishwasher problem but more of a plumbing issue. Often the sink drain that carries the sinks water outside is not fast enough and some of this sink water is backing up into the drain hose and filling up the dishwasher through the drain hose. The drain from the sink to outside needs attention as this type of a problem indicates a slow house drain for that sink.
The dishwasher drain line should be clamped to the top underneath part of the counter before entering the sink drain plumbing, this may help the water from coming back inside the dishwash
If the cycle doesn't complete, check these:

Water-heating cycle
Timer
Water-heating cycle Many dishwashers heat the wash and/or rinse water to a higher temperature, as the cycle calls for it. In these cycles, the dishwasher pauses after it has filled with water, waiting for the water to reach the pre-set temperature. What happens next, depends, as follows:

  • On some units, the pause is timed and the unit continues after the allotted time.


  • On others, the cycle can't continue until the water reaches the higher temperature. If you have this type of dishwasher and the water isn't being heated (say, because of a problem with the heating element or thermostat), after the unit stops at the heating cycle, it never continues. When you repair the heating-system problem, the "cycle problem" is fixed too.


Timer Timers don't often fail. But if every other part of the dishwasher seems to be working properly and the timer knob seems to be stuck in one place--doing one function continuously--the timer may be at fault. Dishwasher timers can't be repaired. If yours is defective, replace it.

After a line power failure, in which there was one surge and then power failure for nine hours caused by thunderstorm passage, the washer will not power up. I checked voltage at the house circuit breaker and it is present. Is there circuit protection within the washer? If so, where is it located.

Our maytag dishwasher is making a crackling noise when we start it. To describe further it's like there is a big piece of parchment paper being wadded up. We've checked the bottom and loading for obstructions and there are none. It doesn't seem to effect the cleaning job. What is the problem?
