Gene has much to be proud of

Most likely the problem is a bad wax motor (#1 on the soap dispenser break down diagram).

- The part number for the wax motor is AP178627

Here are the break down diagrams for the Maytag dishwasher Model PDB1600AWE

Gene,

Client gained access to the dispenser and found that the connecting wires are extremely short and one of them came off a connector. Client will reconnect after getting bettter access and it should work.

Thank you for your help. We all appreciate it !!!!
