Maytag won't start

DW is 2 years old. Options buttons work, but cycle buttons won’t, and DW won’t start. I’m able to run it through the diagnostic cycle by pressing high temp / heat / hight temp /heat. I’m guessing it’s the controller, but would like to test the front panel buttons before ordering a control panel. Where can I find the pin out for the ribbon cable which connects the front panel to the control Panel?

Thanks

Hi.

You should find the tech sheet inside the door or behind the toe panel.
Based on your description it’s the control panel.

Here are the parts breakdown and 02-Control Panel Parts parts for Maytag MDBH979AWS3 - AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

I looked under the toe panel and took off the front panel of the dishwasher, but couldn’t find a tech sheet. I’ll go ahead and try the control panel.

Thanks

By “control panel” , I assume you mean the controller (they call “Cntrl-Elec” ) and not the front panel (which they call the “Panel Cntrl”)

By “control panel” I meant the “Panel Cntrl”.

It was the Panel Cntrl. Thanks for you help and great service.

You are welcome.
