Greg for Model Number GU980SCGS2 i had to replace the motor/pump on this unit with part #W10428168. It filled with water but then will only run for about 5 secs and then click off. The washing light is still lite. It then goes about 3min10sec and then tries to run again. It only runs the same 5 secs and clicks. It will continue this cycle. The when I hit cancel/drain the motor hums like it wants to start but then clicks off never starting/running to pump out water. any suggestions? seams like something is telling the motor to stop. If bad motor i would not think that it would try to start again. also the new replacement does not have a hole to screw what seams like some type of counterbalance
Answer Greg, You will want to check the wiring coming into your dishwasher to make sure that there is only 120 vac coming into your dishwasher. Also check the wiring from the control board to the motor for broken or shorted wires. It sounds like you are loosing the neutral circuit and getting high amperage draw due to this which would cause the unit to have this issue. Read More...
