Ivan for Model Number wdf530payb3 My dishes aren't drying. I have continuity on my heating element and high limit thermostat. The heating element gaskets are good too. I tried testing the terminals with a volt meter during a heat cycle. Do you know what readings I should be getting? Or are there other diagnostic tests I should be performing to hone in on the problem? Thanks!
Answer Ivan, you would want to test the heating circuit for resistance from the connector P4 at the control. You will want to test pin 3 and 4 together {blue wire with red stripe on both), and the resistance reading should be between 8 to 30 ohms. If the resistance is not within that range, then you may have a bad heater. If there is no resistance reading at all, then you may have a bad wire connection or broken wire. If the resistance is within tolerance, then you will want to test the turbidity sensor at connection P12 of the control. From pin 1 to pin 3 of the connection, the sensor should read betwen 46 to 52 ohms at room temperature. If the resistance is lower, then you have a bad sensor that is telling the control it is warmer than it should be. Another issue that can occur is an empty jet dry chamber as jet dry assists with the drying of dishes. If these all check good, then you may potentially have a bad control. Read More...
