Hi.
The
model indicated: MDB5651A does not have display and the error codes are
shown like flashing lights. If that is your model and problem please
just tell me what lights are flashing.
In Maytag with display
instead, the L on display means that the machine is control locked. That
is not an error message, but a code telling that the machine has been
locked by the user (probably by mistake since you are the user).
I quote from Maytag technical documentation:
? If a cycle or option pad is pressed after the controls have been
locked, the indicator light next to lock graphic will flash five
times. On selected models with a countdown display, the display will
flash the symbol "L" simultaneously with lock indicator.
? This option does not lock the door, only the dishwasher controls.
To set :
1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.
2. An indicator light next to the lock graphic will illuminate when the controls are locked.
To Cancel Control Lock:
1. Press the Heated Dry pad for three seconds.
2. The indicator light will go off as instructed.
Try pressing the the Heated Dry pad for three seconds. If that doesn't work disconnect power.
Connect back and try again unlock (power off does not remove the lock).
If that still does not work there may be a faulty part. In that case
turn appliance off and give me the full model number.
Start
holding down the Heated Dry pad for three seconds. In normal conditions
that is enough to get rid of the L and of control lock.
If you need parts or schematics see this tip explaining how to find parts and diagrams for most appliances: Where do I find parts and diagrams for my appliance?

I have a similiar issue - (3 Sec) light is on. Step one - Press it for 3 seconds. Light stays on. Second step - power off. I powered off overnight. When I turned the power back on - result the same - 3 sec light on. I tried as Ginko suggested and held in the Heated Dry button. The reaction is that the 3 sec light blinks but ulitmately goes back to steady state. Not sure where to go from here.
My model is Maytag MDB9100AWW

Try pressing the heated dry button and moving your finger around the heated dry button for 3-10 seconds. The L should disappear.
