Richard L for Model Number kenmore 665.16462300 my d/w started tripping the circuit.after troubleshooting circuit,i discovered it is tripping in the "drain" cycle.when i unplug the motor and put in "drain",it doesn't trip,when i plug it back up ,the circuit trips again.my question is ,is it the motor OR could it be a bad triac on the control board
Answer Richard, Does the dishwasher run in the "wash" cycle ? If it does, I would not expect the circulation motor to be the issue. Try disconnecting the wires from the drain pump motor( blue/black and gray) . I'd Expect a bad drain motor winding before a bad triac on the control board. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
