To start the Maytag MDB8959SKZ dishwasher, you will first need to load the dishwasher with dirty dishes. Make sure that the dishes are properly loaded and that the detergent dispenser is filled with the appropriate amount of detergent. Once the dishwasher is loaded, close the door and press the power button to turn the dishwasher on. Next, press the start button to begin the wash cycle. Depending on the model, you may need to select a wash cycle using the control panel before starting the dishwasher. Consult the user manual for more detailed instructions.

To turn on the Maytag MDB8959SKZ dishwasher, first ensure that it is properly connected to a power source and that the door is closed securely. Next, press the "Power" button, located on the control panel, to turn the dishwasher on. You should then see the indicator lights on the control panel light up, indicating that the dishwasher is in the process of turning on. Once the dishwasher has finished turning on, you can select a cycle and press the "Start" button to begin the wash cycle.
