Bob for Model Number Dishwasher-kenmore-mod66516914000

Answer Hello Bob. Test for power to the motor. If it is there, and the motor does not run, replace the motor W10239404. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html 

Mark for Model Number Kenmore 655.16933000

Answer Mark, That is correct, the (Soil Sensor) Pressure switch 8542575 should have an "open" circuit, under normal operation. " SWITCH CLOSES WHEN SIGNIFICANT SOILS ACCUMULATE IN PUMP".This is how the control board extends the cycle for extremely dirty dishes. 

Lawrence D. for Model Number KUDS01DJWH0

Answer Hello Lawrence! Yes, the pressure switch 8542575 comes with the O-ring. Thanks! 

Dwight for Model Number 66516364300

Answer Dwight, you may want to consider the fill valve 8531671 and check the accumulator 8193918 for debris or sediment. These are more apt to cause a water or pressure issue causing the upper spray arm to not rotate. Thanks 

Mike for Model Number 665.17264400

Answer Mike, Like any fluid carrying system, when disturbed a gasket or seal, can and may leak, due to disturbing the "set" in the seal. Replace the "O" ring seal/gasket, and you should be fine. Good Luck and Thanks
