The control panel on my Maytag QuietSeries 200 is unresponsive, with the exeption of allowing you to select the cycle. The start button and delayed start buttons do not work.
I cleaned the control electric panel connectors [COLOR=#0066cc]AP4411619[/COLOR], which connects to the control panel [COLOR=#0066cc]AP4364553[/COLOR]. It didn’t work.
I suspect the control electric panel may have gone out. Suggestions?
A Model Number may help others help you.
The problem could be either of the devices you listed.
With a model number perhaps a tech sheet is available with the pin-outs for the control panel which will allow you to check the switches.
Then at least the odds of you replacing the correct part the first time are better.
Sorry, a model number would probably help. MDB4651AWB.
I have good news though, apparently I had forgotten about the 3 year extended warranty I had purchased. The beloved repairman is on his way.

I have that exact problem with a
MDB9750AWS and I am out of warranty!!! PLease help!
The repair person ordered a control electric panel (circuit board) and the control panel (push button panel). He couldn’t determine which part was broken, so he ordered both.

that’s about $220 in parts… I may consider buying a new one. mine is 4 years old. it’s just a shame that these things dont last longer. I’ve already replaced the latch a few months ago and now this!
Please post the outcome. thanks and Merry Christmas!

Try the following first
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
If this does nothing the normal way to troubleshoot it is to check out the keypad switches with a meter. If it checks out OK then the most likely culprit is the control board.

Hello, i have this same problem. I have a multi meter, but am a sort of novice on how to use it. Could you be more specific in the check procedure to what I am looking for in normal readings?
Thanks!

Is your unit the same model?
Need that so I can look up the tech sheet.
Quiet Series 200
model MDBH945AWS3
I cleaned the contacts to no effect. I notice that when I press the start button the “wash” indicator light slightly glows, but only while I have pressure on the button. This is the light that would usually stay on to indicate the wash cycle after pressing the start button. That leads me to believe that the control panel functions, but maybe not the circuit board? Also, when pressing the wash cycle button, the “Heavy, Normal, Light” indicators would normally come on, but the “Normal” one doesn’t light up. the other two do, though.

See the attachment for the tech sheet.
When checking the keys use a meter scale rthat is higher than 10,000 ohms as a closed key is 10K ohms.
