Possible Causes
Faulty Maidaid start button or keypad, Control board lockout or program error, Door not detected as closed, Damaged control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the control panel.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door is fully closed and latched; many Maidaid models will not start if the door switch is not engaged.
- Reset machine: Turn off power for 1–2 minutes, then restore. Attempt to start a basic cycle.
- Inspect control panel: Remove the front panel to access the Maidaid keypad or start button. Check for moisture ingress or damaged ribbon cables.
- Test button: Use a multimeter to check continuity across the start button contacts when pressed. Replace the Maidaid control panel or keypad if faulty.
- Control board: If the interface is good but still unresponsive, the main PCB may need replacement by a technician.
