front seal on the old pump failed causing the front bearing to get wet repeatedly and fail
Removed required hardware and dishwasher from undercounter mount. Turned dishwasher on its front and removed the old motor. Installed the new motor and tested for function. Installed once test was successful.
easy as long as you have the right tool to take the panel off, maybe they could include one for people who don't have a good selection of tools. Thankfully we did.
Remove 2 screws on lower baseplate. Remove 2 screws that hold dishwasher inside cabinet( may be attached to counter top or side cabinets). Turn off water supply to dishwasher. Remove any connections such as water supply, electrical connection, or waste water line that prevent dishwasher from being pulled out about 3/4 of the way. With the dishwasher door closed, remove broken parts and replace with new parts. Pull on spring to make final connection of nylon cable. Reverse the above instructions for re-installing the machine.
Remove the mounting screws that hold the dishwasher under the counter top. Remove dust cover plates at the bottom of the machine. The machine will have to be pulled out, so turn off the water to the machine. Usually under the kitchen sink. Disconnect water supply and push it out of the way so the dishwasher can be pulled out. Pull machine out enough so you have access to the door cables and springs. The door will have to be in the closed(up) position to do the repair. Usually only one side is broken. Start with the broken side and copy the working side when installing new parts. Then repair the working side. To get the working side apart just pull on the spring and disconnect it from the cable. Do the reverse to reinstall.
the tines in the upper basket of the dishwasher were falling apart
Removed the old tines by pushing out the clips on the end and then installed the new tines and applied clips - took 10 minutes worked slick and the washer basket looks to be brand.
1. do not order or buy anything before examining the tension nut and washer. 2. Unplug the unit. 3. Open the switch box before trying to remove the float. Two types; easiest is pin based and lifts out easily. If the float catches, it likely has a headed bottom and needs an assist to lift past the stop flanges. 3. Using a standard ohmmeter, check for continuity. If it checks no need to replace. 4. Check float and assembly for abnormalities; cracks, lime deposits, etc. 5. Now decide what needs replacing. Did all my work with relative ease without pulling out the appliance. A couple sequences may need realigned.
Replacing the float switch was fairly easy and straight forward. removed old using adjustable wrench and replaced.
Replacing the door links was not difficult except I needed to pull the dishwasher out and had to disconnect the water line. reconnecting the water line was the time consuming and frustrating part. Once that was hooked up and tested, i pushed the dishwasher back in place and all is good again.
Removed the front control panel and control unit cover. Removed and disconected old control panel and installed the new panel. Very easy project, even though I didn't know what I was doing. Unfortunately this was not the problem. I had to also replace the heater element and Hi-Temp thermostat. Also easy replacements. The "Just Ask" option is well worth the money. It was a great help in diagnosing the problem.
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.
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!
