Thomas W. for Model Number MDB7601AWS The lights on top of the control panel light up when I push them but the D/W will not start. I've replaced the control panel but the same thing happens. What is the problem? The electric control panel inside the front panel of the D/W? Please advise ... Thanks.
Answer Hi Tom. Access your supplied tech. sheet inside the lower kick panel. It will allow you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which should bring up a fault code. Check the temperature inside the tub, it needs to be at least 120° in all dishwashers. The heater part # W10283681 inside uses a thermostat part # WP99002633 to protect excessive amperage draw. The control board will give a code and not allow run if a fault is detected in that circuit. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Thank You. Read More...
