Maytag MDB4360AWWS Dishwasher not in operation despite all lights are on.

Screwdriver with T15 head, Multimeter, 3/16 socket wrench.

Googled problem, looking for the possible cause, found 1 possible cause, which is very likely - door microswitch might be faulty. Step 1. Unplug washer electrical connection from AC outlet 2. Open control panel thru 6 - T15 screws from the inside. 3. Locate microswitch in door latch assembly. Disconnect power supply thru small push-lock mechanism of the microswitch. 4. Remove 1 small socket head screw with 3/16 socket wrench use to hold in placed the microswitch. 5. Test continuity of microswitch with a multimeter. Found out it was faulty indeed. 6. Googled part number and found exactly the same picture from PartsDR.com( though it listed as part for Amana brand). Ordered . Parts arrived exactly as the date delivery promised. 7. Check new part for continuity and it passed. So i installed it. Same steps backwards above. Solved my problem. Didn't have to call part manager for repair.

Dishwasher kept turning off mid cycle.

Screwdriver.

Our dishwasher kept turning off mid cycle. Sometimes we could push the door shut tight and turn it on and it would be fine, other times we had to restart it five or six times per cycle. I looked up the problem on Google, and found out it could be the door switch. It was very easy to locate the correct one on partsdr.com. We swapped it out and fixed the problem!!
