Drew for Model Number PDW8200J03BB Hello. My dishwasher has started beeping intermittently. Sometimes the lights don't come on and nothing works, when the lights do eventually come on, we were able to run regular cycles. Now its gotten worse and the washer was stuck washing for about 4 hours today. Before the washer only beeped after the washer was closed and locked in. Today it was beeping even when the door was open, but I think it was because the cycle never finished. Is this a control board issue? Thanks!
Answer Hi Drew. Find the supplied tech sheet inside the inner door panel or behind the toe kick area. You need to put the dishwasher ion a diagnostic mode to individually check each component for that circuit issue. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. It does seem like it can be an intermittent board part # WD21X10215 issue but you need to be sure first if the supply voltage at the junction box is proper 120 vac. Make sure the wire connections have not gotten loose or burnt between the units strande4d wire and the house supply solid wire. Make sure they both intertwine correctly together so that the unit can draw the amperage when needed. How many beeps? Are the door micro switches on the latch part # WD21X10169 supplying the board voltage and the door shuts tight? Make sure all 4-legs are snug on the floor as the unit is leveled front to back and side to side. This will open and break the latch/controls as the unit is unlevel. Check these first. Thank You.
