I opened my dishwasher to empty it before the drying cycle was done. Now it will start with filling and start but stops. Then all the lights on the front panel go out. I hit stop/cancel and it drains. Is there is reset button of any kind?

There is recall on that unit. See at: How to Find the Recall Information on a Maytag Dishwasher | eHow
