Appliance Type: Dishwasher

Could it be something stuck in dishwasher? Not quite sure how to access mine and clear anything out.

My Kenmore dishwasher shut off in wash cycle with the bottom full of water and the electronic controller will not illuminate. There is power to the unit and no wires are loose.

HELP!
We are unable to take off the drain lid and the water wont drain from the dishwasher.
We cant find any videos on your site or ytube to help us.
Can you assist, my mom is frustrated!
Thanks, a son
We have a whirlpool dishwasher

Unit will only start in diagnostic mode. When I first start diagnostic mode, all lights are green. The unit Will get a few minutes in to diagnostic mode and dies, no lights and the unit will not respond. It will only respond trying to run diagnostic mode, always get the same result, it dies and is unresponsive.

I checked to see if the chopper blade was jammed, it was not. I replaced the control board, that did not fix the issue.

Any ideas. Could it be the thermal fuse? Would diagnostic mode still try and work if the thermal fuse is bad?

I tried working through the service manual attached to the inside of the kickplate but there wasn’t anything in the troubleshooting that referenced what to look for when the unit died during the diagnostic mode.

I assume that once the unit got to somewhere in diagnostic mode that wasn’t working properly it shut down…

Any ideas or feedback would be appreciated.

any help on these codes?

A U1 deals with the fill fault. It talks about the water valve needing replacement. It doesn’t always stop in the fill cycle. Could it possibly be a electrical switch and how do I check the possible problems. Also could I replace parts myself?

I just watched the video on how to repair my top rack which came loose on my dishwasher. Thank you so much. I was able to fix it.

Unit is about 3 years old and has had lots of use. Tonight, it was making an intermittent beeping noise and I asked my wife what it was. She said it was the washer and went over to it and pushed a button. Don’t know which one but it had filled and ran and I think may have been drying at the time. At any rate, she then tried to restart it and no lights were coming on at all. I went to the main fuse panel and shut down the electricity for about 30 seconds and then turned it back on. She shut the door on the machine and tried again, the light came on as if it was going to run but then about a minute or so later shut off and no light or lights again. Thank you for any help you can be.
Sincerely.

I HAVE A CUSTOMER WITH THIS KITCHENAID DISHWASHER WHERE THERE ARE THREE LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE PANEL WHEN POWER IS SUPPLIED WITH NO RESPONSE TO OPERATOR INPUT OTHER THAN THE OPTIONS BUTTONS. REPLACING THE TOUCH MEMBRANE- PART # W10077793 RESULTED IN THE SAME THREE LIGHTS BEING LIT WITH ONE ADDITIONAL-HEAVY WASH, AND NO RESPONSE TO OPERATOR INPUT. WAS WONDERING IF THE CONTROL BOARD, RIBBON OR INTERCONNECT COULD BE AT FAULT. HAVE NEVER SEEN A CONTROL BOARD AT FAULT FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. HAVE ALWAYS SOLVED THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST TWENTY TIMES BEFORE BY REPLACING THE TOUCH PANEL. THE RIBBON AND INTERCONNECT LOOK LIKE STRAIGHT DATA TRANSFER TO ME.

When start button is pushed timer lights up and counts down but nothing else goes on. Do I need a new control panel?

My dishwasher will not start. The lights light up when I choose different functions but it won’t actually start when I press Start. I tried the reset by pushing the High Temp Scrub and Energy Save Dry buttons alternating five times each and the unit will go through the reset. It also drains when I press cancel after resetting. I am not sure how to proceed.

Hd & Normal button lights are flashing alternating. Turned breaker on last nite , closed door & it pumped out. Then nothing. Does not run. no response from machine.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP on our Frigidaire dishwasher. WE ALREADY FORKED OUT $120 AND REPLACE THE CONTROL BOARD AND THE ERROR CODE IS STILL FLASHING. I GUESS WE NEED TO WORK ON THE TOUCH PANEL OR CONSOLE, HUH? That should do it, right? Is there a video showing how to do this?

Hello, I am in need of a reverse solenoid part #900414 for my Maytag WU701 dishwasher; it’s from 1982 and the exterior is in pristine condition and everything else works like a charm…except the part mentioned.

The part is no longer available and extensive google searches have come up empty. So, I thought I’d try to repair the part myself. It is a reverse solenoid to open the detergent door. Wondering if you might have any suggestions for me?

Thanks so much.

Our dishwasher quit working and is flashing an ER code. How do we diagnose what it needs?

My Blomberg dishwasher (model: DWT 34240 NBL00) is showing error code “IF” then “88” and then “IF”. All the 4 wash cycle lights glow continuously and no button works except “ON/OFF” push button.

My dishwasher doesn’t want to drain completely. Initially I thought it was something stuck and cleaned out as far as possible down into the impeller or chopper area like a video I saw on here. Ran another cycle and same thing happened. Could it be something stuck further in the drain or pump area?

Dishwasher will not start. Left hand panel cycle lights on touchpad when pushed work (pots pans, normal, etc.) and stay on for a bit then turn off. Right hand cycle lights (hi temp, sanitize, heated dry) do not come on. Have tested continuity of fuse – all OK. Have tried reset of control board using hi temp and dry buttons being pushed a total of 10 times alternating buttons – but since the lights do not come on it’s not working. Is there a way to test the control board? Is the touchpad part of the control board unit or is it a seperate part? Anyway to test that? Thanks for any assistance.

The top drawer in our two drawer Fisher and Paykal DD603 does great until it hits 50 minutes remaining. Then it starts jumping around on time 70 minutes to 40. Kind of goes wacko…. I removed the front panel and the control unit was very hot. I’m wondering if this is the first part I should change. The lower drawer does great.

Hi, my dishwasher randomly came on with a blinking clean light. I watched your informative video on how to reset the codes on other whirlpool dishwashers, mine however doest have the same button setup, and am curious if you know the button combination to reset mine. Ive inspected to element and put a multimeter on it to read the ohms, this checks out as fine. any help would be much obliged.

My dryer seems to heat perfectly fine sometimes, and then other times it takes almost double the time to dry. From what I’ve read on here, it seems like gas coils are the likely answer? Wanted to check before ordering any parts.

I’m hoping one of the techs there can help me figure out what part I need to replace. I’ve checked the line and the pump for any debris but didn’t see anything. Just sounds like the pump isn’t actually working correctly. Is it more than one assembly I’ll need to replace? A video would be great as well if you can find one for me.

Our dishwasher lights up, has power, but will not start. Sometimes if I cancel it, open and close the door, and hit start again, it begins. But it’s getting more and more frustrating. Any thoughts on what it could be?

We have to keep pushing the start button on our Kenmore Ultrawash Quiet Guard Standard dishwasher from 4-6 times before it keeps running. When you first start it, it will fill (it starts and run for less than 30 seconds). When the fill stops and it’s ready to go to the next thing, it stops and all of the lights on the control panel go out. We push start again and it will run for another few seconds, then the lights go out again. This process repeats several times. After pushing start for the initial time and then again 4-5 times, it will finally continue to run and successfully complete the cycle. Can you offer any guidance for this? This dishwasher is only a couple of years old… no more than 3.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Not sure if this is a cycling problem or a bad timer? Dishes are clean(but slimmy not rinsed) and standing water is not dirty but sometimes cloudy.

Hi, I have a Fisher & Paykel DD605. The Control Module cover has 2 IR lenses on the right hand side. One of the lenses has a strange build up in the lense causing the IR to not pass through. Basically I’m looking for a Control Module cover plate only. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

The Smart Auto and Normal LED’s are flashing per the customer. I found the motor/pump locked up due to lack of use, unstuck impeller, unit running. Not sure what the flashing LED’s reference.

My dishwasher has power and when I push the normal cycle button and then start, the lights come on, but after a few seconds they just turn off and it never starts. Do you think it could be the fuse?

My dishwasher will fill with water and it drains fine but it won’t start the wash cycle.I have checked and the circulation motor and pump are free, float switch is working I also checked that everything is getting power. New circuit board, both pumps. I would appreciate any help Ken
