I have a Maytag QuietSeries 300 dishwasher, model MDB9600AWQ.

Several months ago, its display panel started acting funny (only part
of the green LED segments actually lit) but it continued working fine
- until today.

Today, when I tried to operate it as usual, pressing the Start button,
the dishwasher simply wouldn't react. As if the Start button was never
pressed.

The Delay button responds. All top buttons (the ones that select the
program type) respond. But the Start button seems to be "dead".

I searchedhttp://www.repairclinic.com/SmartSearch/smartsearch.aspx
for a logical part (panel or control or something along this) and all
I could find was "Board, control": Item # 1173225 and Item # 1074739.

They are both expensive (around $100) so obviously I would like to be
certain which part I need to order in order to repair this problem.

Your help regarding which part is defective and needs replacement
would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam

You never absolutely know for sure until you replace something and it
fixes it right? Repairclinic.com does allow returns. Just get what you
think could be it for one shipping charge and return the unused. You just
have to pay for return shipping.

...or call an appliance repair service.

I actually found a better site - that not only lists the parts but
also displays the relevant diagrams - very helpful:

It seems that the Start "button" (low quality tactile-less pad that
convinced me that I will never by Maytag again) is what stopped
working. The problem is... this button cannot be replaced by itself -
it requires replacing the entire panel (P/N PS728446, "PANEL, CONTROL
(BSQ)")

It costs $72.72 but it may be a good idea to replace it since the
"professional technician" that was sent by Maytag to repair the latch
2 years ago, actually broke the CHEAP plastic hinges that hold the
latch. So by replacing the anel I would actually fix two problems.

Thanks to all of you who responded.

Oh - and inhttp://www.searspartsdirect.comitis Part# 99002795 -
costs 79.79.

and inhttp://www.mdappliance.com/WPL-99002795.htmlitcosts only
$69.99 but it is listed not only as a Maytag part but also as
Whirlpool.

Also, repairclinic.com seems to *not* offer this part.

It can also purchased in partstore.com:

http://www.partstore.com/Part/Maytag...02795/New.aspx

Sam

and in PartsTap.com it can be purchased for as low as 63.35

but it looks slightly different from what I have.

Actually, this part is offered by RepairClinic.com (Item # 1012097,
$75.75) but it's not in stock. So there is no point in ordering from
them.
