Maytag Dishwasher Error Code Extra Rinse LED + Clean LED

This LED combination indicates that a turbidity sensor failure was detected during the Field Service Test diagnostic routine. The turbidity sensor monitors water clarity in the sump and communicates with the control board to adjust wash performance. When this sensor is not functioning within expected parameters, the dishwasher flags the fault using these two LEDs simultaneously. A technician will need to run the Field Service Test and then inspect the sensor and its wiring to confirm and resolve the issue.

The turbidity sensor fault affects the dishwasher's ability to accurately monitor water clarity and optimize wash performance, but it does not typically represent an immediate safety hazard. However, running the unit with a failed sensor may result in poor wash results or inefficient water use. It is best to have the issue diagnosed and repaired before continuing regular use.

A basic power reset may temporarily clear the LED indicators, but the fault will return if the underlying problem with the turbidity sensor or its wiring is not addressed. The Field Service Test is the proper method for confirming and clearing this fault code in a controlled diagnostic context. A reset alone is not a fix and should not be relied upon as a solution.

Start by running the Field Service Test to confirm the fault is active. Then inspect the turbidity sensor lens in the sump area for grease or scale buildup, which can sometimes be cleaned off to restore proper function. Check the wiring harness connecting the sensor to the control board for any damage, pinching, or loose connectors. If cleaning and wiring checks do not resolve the issue, the sensor itself will likely need to be replaced.

Repair costs depend on whether the issue is a dirty sensor lens, a wiring problem, or a failed component. If only cleaning is needed, costs may be limited to a service call fee, generally in the range of $75 to $150. Turbidity sensor replacement parts typically cost between $20 and $80, with total repair costs including labor ranging from $100 to $250 depending on the technician and region.
