Jlm for Model Number FDB345LBSI Our dishwasher timer gets stuck at the dry cycle and there is no heat from the beginning of any cycle. No more steam when opened in mid cycle, no hot water inside. It has also developed a black residue on all dishwasher racks, baskets interior spray arms, inside door, etc. Could all this be one problem or does it sound like many. Are there any trouble shooting tasks we could try before giving up.
Answer Hello JLM. You will need to test the thermal cut-off 154290204 and the heater 154665201. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check and make sure the water level inside the dishwasher is correct. If not, it can cause the problems your having with the debris. You will need to replace the water valve 154637401 if it is low. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
