MDB7749SAB0 and cancel/drain light flashing..

Dishwasher Repair
,

Hi all-
The cancel/drain light flashes and dishwasher will not do anything. I pulled the dishwasher control panel and the connecting wire connecting ribbon is severelly corroded even though it is still appears sealed very well. First question, could this be the problem or is it likely something more serious? Question 2, if this could be the problem, I would like some guidance on the correct replacement part. I have two numbers on mine- 1) inside the plastic cover it has a list of part numbers, since mine is black it should be W10398665 and 2) there is a sticker on the wire ribbon- WP# W10401496 Rev A, MX# 129360002G CS, DC 02/29/12 1. The plastic frame and the button pad (with wire ribbon) seem to be one unit. So I suspect it is replaced as one unit. Now comes the reordering, if it is the part i need, I can not find it on your site. Any guidance? Any help would be appreciated. I have pictures if they would be helpful. Thanks. - Scott

I found this repair technique from a clever man/woman. It might be useful for someone. I will try it with my POS MayTag.

I am having the same problem with our Maytag dishwasher. Cancel/Drain button flashes, dishwasher won’t run except to drain. Model #MDB7749SAQ. Husband is trying the DIY fix your Maytage on the cheap listed above. Already had the repairman out he says button is stuck, need a new control panel at a price of $250, the same as what Maytag quoted me for a service contract which will cover this repair and the dishwasher for the upcoming year. Our dishwasher is only 1 /2 years old!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
