mdb8959sbs2 MDB8959SBS2 Maytag Dishwasher Random beeping and blinking control lock

[topdawgnate]

My Maytag washer (MDB8959SBS2) is acting possessed as of late. Lately, it has started beeping fits (it just randomly beeps) and getting the dishwasher to select the correct profile is a game of wack a mole. Additionally, now it has a blinking "control lock" light that will not extinguish even after the dishwasher has been power cycled.

I took apart the front panel and checked and I can see plenty of corrosion inside the flat ribbon cable between the control panel and ECU. After I cleaned the connector as best I could, I put it back together and ran a normal cycle. After the cycle ran and appears to have completed, it started the random beeping again. Additionally, now the control lock light is blinking and I can't seem to get it out of this state. Thanks in advance for you help!

Sounds like a bad user interface to me.

Nope once it's corroded you cant clean it. Your only getting at the corrosion you can see. Go ahead and change it out you'll be glad you did.
