Hi,

I have a Maytag Quiet Series 200, MDBH945AWW. I got it from a friend of a friend, but it appears in great condition, except...

I hooked it up last night. Made sure it was level and started a cycle with no dishes. My water connections in and out are dry. It started to fill as expected. Now I had it pulled out so I could watch it to catch any leaks.

At the point where the jets start to flow, I noticed a very small drip forming at the base of the float switch. I"m not sure how this is even possible since the tube the float goes through is molded into the tub and I didn't see any cracks.

I next hit the start/cancel button which drained it. I again started a cycle. Just before the jets started, I opened the door. It did not leak. So I am thinking it must be something that is getting water when the jets are actually working.

Also, it was pretty sudsy. Almost looks like the person that had it before me may of put in regular dish soap in the jetdry holder. So I rinsed it out as best I could and threw some normal dishwasher soap in to reduce the amount of suds. Still, when it starts spraying through the jets, the drip would start at the float switch.

The float does move easily. I noticed that when the jets start, the float goes down (obviously because the pump took up some of the water to spray). But I wonder if it may have something to do with where it's putting too much water in the tub? Could suds actually cause this? I don't think it could be the door because it wouldn't be possible to get water to that switch since it's up and back from the door. The door seal did seem wet, but couldn't tell from messing with it so much (filling and draining).

When I open the door after the jets have been going, the water appears to be almost to the point where it would come out on the floor but doesn't.

I heard that this model can have issues with seals on the door and soap holder. There isn't any food or mineral buildup at or around anything. One person said their Maytag had a warped tub?

Any ideas would be great. Also if anyone has a "service" manual to disassemble, that would be awsome.

Thanks everyone
