The green "Clean Light" was staying on after shutting down in the middle of the cycle. I put it in troubleshooting mode and found out it was the heating element.

If your are just a tiny bit "handy", you can do this job in about 30 minutes for $30. The rubber gasket comes off very easily from its location, just pull it off, than, using a small piece of wood, I used a shim, insert the new gasket in, an inch at the time, all around the frame. No more leak, and probably over $150 savings. A plumber or repair man would have charged $90 just to drive to my house, plus part & labor. Thanks to PartSelect too, the part was delivered rapidly and the all ordering process was painless.
Was a simple task to perform, a child could have done it. The technical skills diagnosing it was a bit hard though. The skills finding the culprit was indeed simple. Rubber was torn. Dishes would not come clean especially on the top & would not dry properly. The rubber piece being torn in half made it hard for the water & soap to despense to the top through thh center plastic tube, but now it cleans great. Thank's Now to find out why it won't dry properly at the heating element is another task. It leaves water droplets on the dishes. Once I got the rubber screw on attachment installed the dishes are clean & dry now & no water dropplets on the dishes. The water dispenses up to the top like it suppost to throught the small tube to wash the upper rack dishes. The wife is happy now she doesn't have to clean & dry them by hand. Thank's so very much!! Now on to the next project in hand to submit later on.
Dishwasher would not start & green "Clean" light was flashing
After reading customer notes regarding the same problem I was having I ordered A new Heater Element & a High Limit Thermostat. I also ordered a Heating Element Nut and Rubber Washer in case I needed them. It took me quite some time to remove the dishwasher from under my counter. Once the unit was out and prepared to service it actually took only a few minutes to install the new Heater Element. I did't need the washer or extra Nut. I also decided to try the unit without replacing the thermostat. I cleared the diagnostics by pressing the "HEATED DRY, "NORMAL", "HEATED DRY", "NORMAL" buttons. After the controller reset the dishwasher was ready to run.
My husband did this. He turned the dishwasher upside-down, disconnected the wires,and unbolted the heater.He put in the new heater (bolted,wired) and tested the current. Voila!
The dishwasher would not clean the dishes. This was because the chopper screen got clogged after 5-6 washes (even we were careful to rinse the dishes) so water would not circulate. The chopper clogged because the blade was not spinning. This was because the piece of the impelled that the chopper
The repair was very straightforward. I followed the excellent video provided by Part Select and the repair went exactly as shown in the video.
The only minor challenge was removing the dish washer from the cabinet, and disconnecting the utilities (electrical, water, drain), as these elements of the repair were not covered by the video. Fortunately Part Select included a copy of the installation instructions that come with this dishwasher; those instructions gave me the information that i needed to "uninstall" and "reinstall" the dishwasher as part of the repair.
1. Open dishwasher door, to access the screws holding dishwasher to cabinet.... remove these screws. 2. May need to shut water off and unscrew water line and waste line (if they aren't long enough because you will need to pull dishwasher out. 3. Unplug electricity 4. Pull dishwasher all the way out... probably need to disconnect the water and waste lines 5. crescent wrench to unscrew the plastic screws in back 6. Disconnect two wires going to element 7. Replace element... reverse steps 8. Not too bad at all 9. Part Select is Awesome !!!!
First i turned off the water and the power, then removed the two screws to the access panel under the door. Then remove 1 screw to the electrical box and removed the wire nuts and pulled the cable out of the box. Then disconect the water supply which is up front, but very little room to work. I didn't have to diconnect the drain hose because it was long enough for me to pull out the machine. After removing to screws that hold the machine to the counter you can pull it out. Remove 2 wire from the terminals of the heat coil. Unscrew the plastic nuts from the washer and remove. Assemble in reverse order and check for leaks. I tested the old element as well as the new element for resistance before installing.
heater showing signs that it was going to fail soon
removed unit from cabinet disconnected water and drain lines replaced heater very easy to do it took more time to remove unit from under counter than replace heater piece of cake..
I entered the make and model of the dishwasher into the parts store. The part was located and ordered. Received the part a few days later. Fast, efficient way to go!
