The MDB9600AWW 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 plate also dates the machine, which matters when deciding whether a repair is worth doing.
An owner can reasonably handle clearing the filter, checking the spray arms spin and loading properly. Past that the risk is electrical, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are worth reading before anybody opens the cabinet.
