IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of
cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after
use.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of
the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a
hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before using the
dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

I have an auto-sensing dishwasher W10438345B and it "overfills" and leaks - about a pint per cycle. How can this be corrected? - I have cleaned the area under the door numerous times. The amount of leakage varies from load to load. My phone number is 573-268-5863. Thank you for your assistance.

Installing the access panel and toe kick. Where does the insulation go? Does it fold over, or is the (lower drawing in photo) picture in the manual upside down? Or is it something else? There doesn’t seem to be room behind the dishwasher door.

The answer is both! The insulation folds toward the face of the unit, and the picture shoes the two panels in incorrect positions. The lower one goes above the other

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 MDB4949SHZ 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 turning on?

Check if the dishwasher is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure that the circuit breaker or fuse is not tripped or blown.

Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes properly?

Make sure you are loading the dishes correctly, allowing proper water circulation. Check the spray arms for clogs or obstructions, and ensure the water temperature is hot enough, preferably around 120-140°F (49-60°C).

Why is my dishwasher making loud noises during operation?

Verify that the dishwasher is not touching any adjacent cabinets or walls, as this can cause vibration noise. Additionally, inspect the spray arms and filters for any debris or blockages that may be causing abnormal sounds.

Why is my dishwasher not draining?

Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Check the garbage disposal connection if applicable and ensure it is clear. Inspect and clean the dishwasher filter and sump area, as clogs can impede proper drainage.

Why is my dishwasher not drying dishes effectively?

Confirm that the rinse aid dispenser is filled, as this aids in drying. Use the proper dishwasher detergent and select an appropriate wash cycle with a heated dry option. Ensure that plastic items are loaded away from main heat sources, as they may not dry as effectively.
