MDB3700AWE
Maytag MDB3700AWE Dishwasher Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Dishes wet after a heated-dry cycle
- Control panel buttons that respond only sometimes
- Dispenser door that sticks
- Drips at the front under the door
Among older Maytag built-in dishwashers, the MDB3700AWE is one we are called to often. Many of these are still working in Houston homes, often in kitchens that have not been remodeled in years.
Two complaints bring people to us most often with dishwashers like this. The first is dishes that stay damp after a heated dry. For that we check whether the heating element glows, whether the dry option is actually selected, and whether the vent allows steam out. The second is a control panel that answers some buttons and ignores others. Worn button contacts or a tired control board can be behind it, and we test before suggesting a part.
We also look at the detergent cup and the door seal while the door is open. We confirm the full model and serial from the label before ordering. The price is written before work, we say so when a repair is not worth it on an older unit, and a 30-day workmanship warranty follows.

Error codes this model can show
Why are my dishes wet after a heated dry?
The heating element may not be warming, the cycle may not be using the dry option, or steam may not be venting. We test the element first, then the controls that switch it on.
Why do some panel buttons not respond?
Worn contacts under the buttons or a control board problem are possible. We test the panel and tell you the cost before replacing it, since a board costs more than a set of contacts.
Is an older dishwasher like this worth repairing?
Often, if the repair is modest. We check the tub, seal and pump as well as the failed part, and we say plainly when the total cost approaches the value of the unit.
