When the MDB7749SBM misbehaves, the pattern is nearly always the same: check the sump filter, the drain hose loop and the disposer knockout first, then the drain pump, check valve or sump filter. Trailing characters after the model number identify the production run, and the rating plate is what settles which parts fit.
Useful things an owner can do: clearing the filter, checking the spray arms spin and loading properly. Anything that requires a panel to come off should wait for a technician.
