How do you attach the rubber kick plate to the base of the dishwasher, just under the door. I'm just wedging it and it keeps falling out.

The cancel light is coming on, we push 3 seconds to stop it which may work temporarily but the comes back on. I tried to run a wash cycle but it would not start to fill so we pushed cancel button. We have unplugged the unit for now. Any idea's of what can be causing this?
For model number MDB4949SHZ0
Hello Nancy, Thank you for the question. We suggest trying to reset the controls using the control reset command. Turn the dishwasher off. Choose any 3 buttons on the control pad. Press them in the following sequence, 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 with no more than 1 second between each button push. Now press cancel and that will reset the controls. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

DW sometimes doesn’t complete cycle. I have replaced door switch. Sometimes stops in drying stage. Other times leaves water in machine. 4 years old. Thanks.
For model number MDB4949SHZ0
Hello Murray, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the electronic control board, part number PS12583931, manages the functions such as washing, draining, and drying. The turbidity sensor, part number PS12070543, determines the turbidity of the wash water. The control board communicates with the turbidity sensor and decides how long to wash in all the cycles. We suggest you check these parts. We hope this solves your problem!

Found loose L-shaped spring, believe it is part of detergent dispenser sliding door, but don’t see it on any parts list or obvious place it would snap in. Doesn’t appear broken, just loose? Reversed pins on each end.
For model number MDB4949SHZ0
Hello Peter, thank you for reaching out to PartSelect. If the spring is loose, then the detergent dispenser, part number PS11731570 will need to be replaced because the spring does not come separately. Good luck with this repair!

Replaced Hinge Link
Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.

dishwasher not draining after wash cycle
Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release

the old pump.
First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.

Door spring link broken
1. Open the dishwasher and remove the two plastic grommets about halfway down on either side of the opening. Then remove the two screws under the grommets.
2. Remove the kick plate under the door. May have to lower unit by turning the feet using the adjustable wrench.
3. Make sure you have enough slack in the water i ... Read more nput line and electrical wiring that you can pull the dishwasher out about 12 inches or more.
4. There is a spring and nylon rope link on both sides of the unit. Probably just one link is broken, but the replacement comes with two, so you can replace both or save one as a spare. Look at the good side and it should be pretty self explanatory how it attaches. I found it easiest to first thread the link around the lower pulley, then attach the link to the spring, then spring to the rear support, then the link to the door.
5. Reverse (2 to 1) to reinstall the dishwasher.
