Appliance Type: Dishwasher

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.

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

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.
Monica

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
John

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.

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?

any help on these codes?

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.

HELP!

Can you assist, my mom is frustrated!
Thanks, a son
We have a whirlpool dishwasher

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.

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

Our dishwasher hasn’t been very effective, and I thought it was a bad chopper assembly, so I changed that out, but it’s still not working as well as I’d like. What else can I check?

Dishwasher won’t start. Panel lights work. I press (Normal Wash), (Heat Dry) and (Start/Resume).

1) I can hear water softly running.

2) After a minute or so, I hear a 1 second long buzz that repeats every 5 seconds for a half a minute or so.

3) Then the cancel/drain light comes on solid. And, water is draining into the garbage disposal.

4) After 30 seconds or so, all the lights go out.

I reset everything by shutting off the circuit breaker. No change.

I think maybe the Float mechanism or switch is bad, so I remove the float and everything is very clean and free. I remove the switch and check it with a meter and it is fine.

So, what do I do now? Could it be anything else other than the control board?

My research leads me to believe that it is the actuator. agree? and if so, I’m not finding a video.

Our dishwasher comes on, lights up, and fills, but then won’t actually wash. It just stops and there’s almost a low hum noise. My husband got it to cancel and drain and I redid it thinking it was a fluke, but exact same thing happened. What should we do from here?

We have had our Maytag dishwasher for a few years. The door will not open. The latch seems lose and it you try to open it, the latch get pushed up and jammed. Is there a way to open the door so I can check the latch?

Our dishwasher wouldn’t finish the rinse cycle and the lights just keep blinking. I tried canceling and draining but it seems completely unresponsive. Can I reset it somehow or try to restart it? I’d like to have it working, especially over the holidays.

drawer lid works intermittantly. had the lower replaced 6 months ago for same issue

Start button does not work.

The wash program selector is stuck on “Rinse” and will not move.

I’ve noticed that the top drawer fills with water slowly after a wash cycle. The bottom drawer is fine. If I don’t run it for a while, the water continues to fill. I’ve read that it could either be the water inlet valve or the drainage hose. I believe that the drainage hose is positioned high enough with a loop such that water can’t come back in.
In my debug mode, I’ve since shut off the water source into the dishwasher and I’m hoping to wait a few days to see if the top drawer continues to fill up.
Are there any other tips that might be useful? (I’ve watched the YouTube video for repair of the inlet valve).
Are there other troubleshooting things that I can do to narrow in on the problem?

Thanks,
Jon

How do we replace the two tracks that hold the upper rack? Is there a video that shows this? Ours does not have visible screws. Please advise. If you have a video, we would definitely subscribe to watch that video.

I saw the videos on clearing the chopper and sump area, and I checked the pump as well. I removed some debris thinking I’d solved it, but same thing happened on next load. Not sure where to go from here.

I can’t select cycles or adjust it using any of the buttons, sometimes it lights up, other times it won’t come on at all. Is this something my husband could fix? Appliance shopping is the last thing I want to do right now.
