Maytag MDB4949SHB0 Heating Coil Element not getting power


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,
My Maytag MDB4949SHB0 Dishwasher´s Heating Coil Element stopped working.  I tested it for continuity with an Ohm-Meter, disconnecting the power wires, and there is good continuity so the element seems to be good.
I connected the Element power wires to a Volt-Meter and ran a cycle, and I noticed that no power is being provided through these wires.   I looked for a fuse but there does not seem to be one.  The power wires just go into the front panel control board.  All the the motors and pumps run fine, so it is not a general power issue.

Any idea why the power to the Heating Element might stopped working?
Anything I can try to troubleshoot?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions provided.

+1 for checking safety thermostat as @16345Edindicated. You can check the heater circuit from the main board if needed.  Remove the door outer panel, 2 blue wires ( blu/wh, blu/rd)  on left side of module. Remove the connector to ohm out heater, thermostat and wires. In the toe plare area there should be the tech sheet. Enter the daig mode to get error codes. Clear error codes and let the washer run the complete daig cycle, this will force the dishwasher to do a calibration on next wash cycle.
