My dishwasher started up fine then halfway through the first cycle it stopped. Upon opening the door there was a few inches of water in the bottom of the tub. I checked the power source & breaker. I tried to restart the dishwasher & nothing. Could this be the timer?

Answer Hello Mark,
If you have already checked the power connection behind the kick panel and there were no burned or discolored wire nuts and the wires were tight in them, the next suspect would be the door switch and switch activation mechanism. If I remember correctly, this model has a flat metal piece referred to as a "leaf" that may not be activating the switch. If the unit isn't secured under the counter or leveled so the door strikes properly, this can have a major impact on the door switch activation. Also, while inside the door panel, note as to whether or not there is moisture present. If there is, the switch and/or timer may have problems. As a general rule, check for voltage into a component and voltage back out of the component. When you find a component that the voltage goes into and not back out of, you have located the faulty component.
Here is my problem; I have two Interlock Switches part WD21X10261. One looks like it is burned out, but I can latch the inter door and hold down Switch leaf WD1X1363 and it will run through the cycle. But when I get the outer door about 3/4 of the way up it just stops even though I still holding down the Switch leaf. Do you have any idea what could cause this
Rebecca A. for Model Number HDA2000G00WW
Answer Rebecca, You'll need to check and repair the wiring harness at the bottom of the door. On older units after years of openings and closings of the door the wires have a tendency to separate inside the insulation, when the door reaches a certian position the wires separate and the unit stops, when the door reaches the previous position the wires touch and the unit operates. Just remember to remove power to the dishwasher, before you start checking the wire harness.
How to remove cam from timer?
C.g. for Model Number GSD2200G00WW
Answer Hello,
The cam is not designed to be removed from the timer. As far as I know, there are no instructions for this because it is not a normal procedure.
IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE BURNED UP TO PUMPOUT SOLONOIDS (THE ORIGINAL AND ONE NEW ONE. I DO NOT THINK THE TIMER ADVANCED AT ALL. IS IT POSIBLE THAT THE TIMER HAS A TEMPORARY DEAD SPOT. I HAVE REMOVED THE TIMER AND APPLIED POWER, IT RUNS FINE OUT OF THE DISHWASHER.
Archie for Model Number GSD2600G02
Answer Archie, The timer advancing isn't really the issue. If your drain solenoid is burning up, thats going to be due to a wiring issue(pinched or shorted wire), timer contact issue, supplying power to the solenoid, or the wrong solenoid is installed. If you installed WD21X802 then go with the timer WD21X10155 as long as the wiring checks OK. Good Luck and Thanks

Answer John, Have you checked the wiring harness in the door to the motor, especially at the bottom of the door, The wires do have a tendency to separate in that area, from the opening and closing of the door. Thanks and Good Luck
