When my dishwasher starts to run a wash, it will do it's normal, initial rinse, but when the wash cycle kicks in it has problems. It washes about 5 seconds & quits. It will wait about a minute & try again for 5 seconds & quits. It does this 3 or 4 times & is done. It doesn't drain itself, but it will when I hit "cancel". I've checked the arms & nothing is locked up. I've removed the racks to make sure nothing was in the way, but same problem.

Help. Thanks

Most likely the problem is a bad motor.

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of the dishwasher.

According to the serial number you provided, the dishwasher was made in March of 2004 and is less then 4 years old.

The limited manufacturer warranty on the wash system and the electronic control parts is 5 years ("Use and care" manual, page 15).

My advise is to call the Maytag for service.

it fills with water but does not run the wash cycles. It will also drain the water if you hit the start/cancel button.
