Vidur for Model Number 665.17822000 Hello Technical Support, We have a Kenmore dishwasher: 665.17822000 For the last year, when I pressed the Normal Wash and then Hi Temperature Wash button, only the Normal Wash light would light up on the control panel but the High Temperature Wash button stopped lighting up, but I believe the dishwasher still ran a High Temperature Wash after pressing the Start button, but I have no way of knowing this, except that the dishwasher did correctly run a dry dishes cycle and was very hot once done. We have just been living with this problem, since the washer did run a full cycle and we didn't care much. In the last two days, however, when I press Normal Wash (green light on panel does appear as usual) and then then Hi Temperature Wash button (still no light on panel), and then the Start button the machine just simply switches off altogether, and the green light on the control panel under Normal wash goes off, and the entire control panel appears blank. If I press Start again, I hear the machine starting to whir as if it is trying to empty the dishwasher of water, kind of like if you were to press the cancel button during a wash cycle. Is this a problem with the main control board AP 3175633 or control panel AP 3097109 or Thermal fuse AP 3115186? By the way, our control panel is white in color, not black - a black control panel is what shows up on your website, is there a different part number for a white control panel, if a new control panel is what we need, according to you? Thanks much Sir, Vidur Sood San Mateo, Ca
Answer Vidur, The issue should be in the control panel/keypad assembly WP3384470. The LED lights are imbedded in the panel circuit board, if a light is inoperable, you'll need to replace the panel. Your other issue with the dishwasher display going blank, and attempting to drain, when reprogrammed, is also an indication of a faulty keypad assembly. Read More...
