Paul April 30, 2012 for Model Number FDB658RAC1 The dishes are not getting clean, the soap is not dispensing, it only runs down door and it laying there around the float valve. I open the door while it's running and there is water coming out the water outlets.
Craig March 02, 2012 for Model Number FDB956rbc1 My dishwasher does not appear to be draining properly. I had some mice issues and replaced all the hoses and tubes that I could find. Dishwasher appears to run fine, but after it's cycle the water still remains. When moving the diswasher, it leaked on the floor in the float area. Is there a hose I missed or is there a problem with the switch for the float?
1 Answer Hello Craig. You will need to test for power coming to the drain pump assembly during the drain cycle. If there is power there, and the hose is new, and the pump does not work, you will need to replace the drain pump 5304463777. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Duane February 26, 2012 for Model Number ffbd2407lwob I bought a new water inlet valve and that did not work to bring water in. I now found a spring or something missing on the relay switch. Does this spring come with the new relay switch? This was a dishwasher from lowes floor model. The spring or gadget became missing in transit... Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Duane. Check and make sure the float 154767801 is still in the tub assembly. If not, and the switch is broke, you will need to order the float and the switch 154773201. Hope this helps. Read More...
Frances November 13, 2011 for Model Number GLDB653AB1 Water will not go into dishwasher. Float works, do I need a switch assembly?
1 Answer Hi Frances. Remove power. Make sure the float stem rest on the float switch arm so it rides up and down correctly as the water level adjust with the float. Is the float stem off to the side of the switch arm? If so then adjust so it rides correctly on the switch arm. Jump the float switch wires momentarily. Wrap elect. tape around to protect from shorting out. Reapply power. Is the water now incoming? If so replace the float switch with part # 154773201. Make sure the float stem rest on the float switch arm so it rides up and down correctly as the water level adjust with the float. If is is out of pocket, then it will not activate the switch correctly. This is a common failure. Turn off the water supply under the sink. Unhook the supply hose from the units water valve. Flush out any sediment into a bucket. Use a flashlight and see if the water valve inlet screen is clogged. If so the water valve is part # 154637401. Make sure the supply hose is not kinked. Unplug the water valve wire connector. Are you getting 120 vac to the water valve at the start cycle? If not, then check if the wires as they pass through the bottom of the door are not chewed in 2. it is common that field mice will be a guest for the winter and go closest to incoming water. They are a common dishwasher fail cause. if so, repair wires with wire nuts or crimpers and butt splices. Use the ohm meter and see if the water valve coils windings are OK. Approx. 18-38 ohms. See if they are not shorted to case frame also. If so the water valve need replaced. Part # 154637401. Thank Read More...
