I am very pleased with my new Maytag dishwasher. My only problem is that I want to lower the top rack so that I can move the silverware basket to the top level. My need to lower the top rack is two-fold: (1) It will enable me to see the basket and all its tableware slots clearly; and (2) It will provide me with a safe place to put my plastic cooking utensils, e.g, spatulas, so that they won't be damaged by the high heat of the drying process. The instructions that came with the washer appear to be generic, designed as a one-size-fits-all method for Maytag's complete line. I followed the instructions which to lower the rack which were: push down on both rack adjusters, then push down so that the rack drops into the lower position. This is reinforced by the illustration. The word "both" denotes two. My dishwasher has four matching. At least I presume those four things are the rack adjusters because there are no other parts, with the exception of the wheel assemblies and the tracks that hold the rack and allow it to be pulled outward to load and unload the dishwasher. Following the instructions, I pushed down, pulled up, and pushed in, and pulled out. I even tried to wiggle them from side-to-side. Those things are immovable objects. Moving those adjusters and/or the rack at all could not be accomplished. It should be noted that, in order to move FOUR adjusters simultaneously, the user must have four hands. Can you kindly provide me with workable instruction so that I can adjust the top rack to my liking? Thank you, Betty Henderson Bradenton, Florida

PLEASE tell me how to adjust the top rack DOWN. There is no obvious way to do it., Our dishwasher has four separate brackets. Every diagram we see, or you tube video shows only two brackets to adjust. It seems that we might have the wrong rack?? please help, because we truly hate our machine!!

Stopped working. Small red light on left of reading screen looks something like a square with a wood ad of some kind on top of it. What does this mean?

The dishwasher runs, but does not clean the dishes. This is a new problem. Are there filters to clean or any maintenance procedures? I have read the manual.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Maytag MDB4949SDM below.

What do I do about a smelly dishwasher?

In the case of a smelly dishwasher, you can take the following steps: - Clean the filters - Clean the spray arms - Clean the door rubbers - Run a hot wash program - Run an empty machine with a dishwasher cleaner

Do you have to pre-rinse the dishes?

It is not recommended to rinse dirty dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. For the life cycle of the machine, it is better to put everything dirty in the dishwasher. The grease on the dirty dishes is the lubrication for the pump in the machine.

How much dishwashing detergent should I use?

The average amount used is about 25 grams of dishwashing detergent. It is recommended to follow the advice on the packaging.

How do I add softening salt to my dishwasher?

Each dishwasher has a separate compartment for softening salt. It opens when you turn the knob on the compartment. The softening salt can then be poured into the compartment by means of a funnel.

Why is my dishwasher not starting when I press the "Start" button?

Ensure that the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched, as it will not start if the door is not properly closed. Additionally, check the household circuit breaker to ensure that power is reaching the dishwasher.

Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes thoroughly?

Make sure the dishwasher is loaded properly and not overcrowded. Also, check the spray arms to ensure they are not clogged or blocked by large items. Additionally, ensure that you are using the recommended amount of detergent and running the appropriate cycle for the level of soil on your dishes.

Why is my dishwasher not draining the water after a cycle?

Check the dishwasher's drain filter and ensure it is clean and free from any blockages. Ensure that the drain hose is properly connected and not kinked or clogged. Additionally, make sure that the sink's drain is not clogged, as it can affect proper draining.

Why is my dishwasher making excessive noise during operation?

Verify that no large or hard objects such as utensils or small dishes have fallen to the bottom of the dishwasher, interfering with the spray arms. Also, check if the dishwasher is properly leveled and if the floor beneath it is stable. Certain noises may be normal, such as water spray or motor hum, but if the noise seems unusual or excessive, contact a service technician.

Why are my dishes coming out wet at the end of the cycle?

Ensure that you are using a rinse aid, as it helps with drying performance. Make sure that the dishwasher's heating element is functioning properly, as this is what helps to dry the dishes. You can also try selecting the "Heated Dry" option, if available, for better drying results.
