The MDB4949SDE shares its layout with the rest of this Maytag family, so the diagnostic order is familiar: the sump filter, the drain hose loop and the disposer knockout, then under the lower spray arm. The model and serial on the plate identify the exact build, which is why they are asked for when a repair is booked.
This one is isolate first, inspect second: power off at the breaker, then clearing the filter, checking the spray arms spin and loading properly, then a technician for anything further.
