Maytag Dishwasher Parts

Common Maytag Dishwasher Parts That Fail

Maytag dishwashers are built to handle everyday kitchen duty, but like any hardworking appliance, certain parts wear out first. The door latch, water inlet valve, and drain pump are the three parts we see replaced most often — and the good news is they're all straightforward fixes that don't require a service call.

When your Maytag won't start, fills slowly, or leaves standing water, you'll find the right OEM part here. We carry exact-fit replacements for every Maytag dishwasher model, from older Jetclean units to current performance series.

• Door latch won't engage or clicks but won't start: The latch assembly houses a safety switch; replace the whole latch, not just the strike
• Dishwasher won't fill or fills very slowly: Water inlet valve is clogged or has failed; check for mineral deposits first on the inlet screen
• Water pools at the bottom after the cycle: Drain pump is jammed or burned out; food debris often causes jamming before a motor failure
• Spray arms aren't spinning or cleaning poorly: Check for clogs in the spray arm holes; if clear, the circulation pump or motor has failed
• Detergent door won't pop open: Detergent dispenser motor or latch has failed; common on 5 to 10-year-old units

Maytag Dishwasher Parts — Frequently Asked Questions

What's the most common reason a Maytag dishwasher won't start?

The door latch assembly is the #1 culprit. Inside the latch is a safety switch that tells the control board the door is fully closed. If the latch doesn't catch properly or the internal switch fails, the dishwasher won't start even though the door closes. A new OEM latch assembly is the fix — and it's one of the easiest Maytag repairs.

How do I find my Maytag dishwasher model number?

The model number is typically on a label inside the door frame (open the door and look along the left or right edge) or on the side wall inside the tub. It starts with a letter (like M, W, or A) followed by numbers. Write it down and use our model lookup tool — that's the fastest way to get parts that fit exactly. Some very old Maytag models (pre-2000) may have labels that are harder to read; we can help you match by serial number too.

Is it worth replacing the control board, or should I buy a new dishwasher?

Control boards are expensive — usually $200 to $400 for OEM. Before you replace it, verify that the board itself is bad: Check if there's power to the panel, listen for the water inlet valve clicking, and look for any burnt smell or visible damage on the board. If you're confident it's the board and your Maytag is under 10 years old, an OEM control board is usually worth it. Older units? That's a tougher call. We have the exact board for your model — enter your model number to see the price.

My Maytag has a Jetclean or equivalent older wash system — can I still find parts?

Yes. We stock parts for Jetclean, PowerWash, and other older Maytag wash systems. The motor, pump, spray arm, and valve assemblies are all available. Check your model number in our Maytag Dishwasher Parts catalog — we'll show you what's in stock and ready to ship same day for most models.

Maytag Dishwasher Model Number: Where to Look

Maytag prints the model number on a label along the inside edge of the dishwasher door or on the side wall inside the tub. Open the door fully and check both areas for a code that combines letters and numbers. If the label is hard to read, photograph it before cleaning around it. Enter that code in the search bar to filter the full Maytag dishwasher parts catalog to parts that fit your exact model. Use the model number rather than a symptom or part name because it identifies the whole unit and its associated parts. That gives you a faster, more accurate match and helps avoid ordering something that looks right but will not fit.
