[quote=Joe / APP Team;634610][quote=Shortymn;634481]The detergent door on my Maytag dishwasher wont open during the wash cycle. What could be the problem?[/quote]

Shortymn,

You most likely have a weak, inoperative, wax motor,

[part]AP4110779[/part]

You'll need to remove the inner door liner, and check the wiring and switch.

You may also want to check for 120 VAC to the wax motor from the timer, with a multimeter, to verify the timer circuitry is proper.

Thanks, and Good Luck,
:) :) :)[/quote]
