Maytag MDB8859AWS Dishwasher Repair

Most common issues on this model

  1. Detergent cup that does not open
  2. Damp cabinet floor beside the tub
  3. Water left in the sump
  4. Damp dishes after heated dry

Owners of the MDB8859AWS have a Maytag built-in dishwasher of an older kind. A sibling ends in AWB, so the ending on your label tells us which version you own, and we confirm it with the serial before we order.

We often work on dishwashers like this when the owner has noticed more than one thing: a cup that sticks, water left behind and a small leak. These can share a cause. A door that does not close fully can keep the cup from releasing and let water seep at the bottom edge. So we check the latch, the hinge springs and the gasket together before we replace anything.

After that we follow the drain and test the heated dry. Written price before work. If the repair is not worth it, we say so. Completed work has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

MDB8859AWSMDB8859AWS questions
Can one problem cause both a leak and a stuck cup?

Yes. A door that does not close fully can do both. We check the latch, hinge springs and gasket first, since fixing that one cause can clear both complaints.

What do you check for standing water?

The drain hose, filter and pump, in that order, then the sink connection. We give you a written price before replacing any part, and we tell you if the pump is the cause.

Does the AWB sibling matter?

It may mark a different color or revision, so we match parts to your label and serial. That way the gasket, latch or pump we order matches your dishwasher.
