After researching the issue, it pointed to either a clogged hose or a bad pump. I cleaning the hose, verifying that there was no clog by using baking soda, vinegar and water. It would work, once maybe twice, then the water would sit again. I checked the line again, no issues. I purchased a new pump. The installation of the pump was easy, only to discover that this did NOT solve my problem. I am now considering a new dishwasher or purchasing a new $150 motor. It sucks not being able to send the parts back.
Dishwasher stopped working - no lights on the control panel
When my dishwasher stopped working I went to the local appliance parts store with the entire button panel. I explained my situation to them, and the response was that I needed a new control panel -$68 and a week wait. So I ordered it. When it came in I noticed it was missing a button for the rinse only cycle. The parts guy said that maybe it was a problem with the parts vendor and ordered another one from their other vendor. In the mean time I installed the new control panel just to see if I would get any lights (no luck). A week later the new control panel came in - still no rinse only button. I got my money back and went home to see what I could find online. I ran across PartSelect - saw several comments describing my exact problem, and ordered a new fuse kit ($15). I put the original control panel back in, put in the new fuse (which took only 2 days to get to me!) and sure enough - problem solved. Thanks PartSelect you have a great site with lots of useful information!
first things first. troubleshoot.... unit wont run. no l.e.d.s at all. Opened front panel and first thing I see is a thermal cutout mounted outside of printed circuit board. After using a multimeter to check for continuity, used a set of alligator clips with a common lead, thus bypassing thermal cutout. Viola, she worked. Ordered part after finding site with google search. Part was delivered in two days.
First I identified the problem by checking the plug ends of the heater coil with an ohm meter. I quickly odered the part and when it arrived a few days later, I simply pulled off the electrical connectors, unscrewed the two bolts, removed the old/broken coil, put in the new coil and tightened down the nuts snuggly. Nothing to it. I then had to reset the error code and it is working like new.
Loosened 1 screw to access spinner button. Removed broken spinner button, replaced it with new button,snapped spinner and wedge on button ,replaced screw and was done in about 2 minutes. Thanks for the pictures of installation and the quick shipping of parts. Not to mention the money saved by doing it without a repairman. Thank you
1. Opened inside panel (about 8 screws) 2. Checked wires to see if we had power, which led me to the fuse. 3. All wires were hot, so I bypassed fuse straight to the motor, which worked. 4. Took out the fuse, didn't really know for sure whether it was bad yet, googled the part number and it led me to PartSelect.com! 5. Ordered part (it arrived in two days!) and replaced existing fuse and WE ARE WASHING DISHED AGAIN!!
Took out the screws--found out what the problem was--ordered part (your people were helpfull--good customer people--received the part within the time I was told--installed according to the instructions--turned it on. . Working fine and guess what--I don't have to do the dishes anymore.
disconect water supply and drain hose, unscrew 2 screws hoding front of dishwasher to countertop, slide dischwasher out so you can tip on its door and remove 1 screw hidden behind plastic shield and pull motor out install in reverse order.
I removed the lower front panel of the dishwasher to expose wheels and opened door and removed two screws holding washer to cabinet. After raising leveling feet pulled washer out to expose bnotton ow dishwasher. Removed the electrical wires form the heating element and removed screw caps holding the heaqting element in place. Removed the old element and inserted the new, then reversed process to get it back together. It was very easy to do following the instructions I received when I ordered the part.
Removed the bottom plate/cover. Unscrew top from bracket. Lucky,had just enough room to pull washer out. Only 6 in. Sleeve had broken off. Needle nose plyers to unhook spring. Slide sleeve over hinge. Hard Part///. Pull spring back into place. with door shut. good luck.
To perform this repair do the following: 1.) Turn off power to the dishwasher 2.) Turn off water, disconnect the water supply and drain using adj. wrench and/or nutdriver, remove any contents from inside 3.) Remove screws (2) from underside cabinet, remove kick plate from bottom by removing two (2) screws there, pull out washer gently providing slack to drain hose and water line 4.) Gently place washer on side, do not invert or lean on the front side, water may enter control panel and damage it 5.) Remove the water line from Inlet valve using adj. wrench 6.) Disconnect both wires from solenoid. 7.) There is one metal screw holding the valve in place, remove it with a nutdriver, slide valve assembly out. 8.) Remove the 90 degree brass angle fitting from old valve, this may require some effort. Using thread tape, install fitting on new valve assembly. 9.) Replace parts in reverse order, using thread tape on any additional water line fittings requiring it, restoring water and power last. 10.) Run a test wash and check for leaks. Hope this helps, it did appear to fix my problem.
