Hello Dean, If the model number is actually 665.17779990, you should check the door switch and associated wiring. If no problems exist, replace the control WP8530929. I'm sorry but this part WP8530929 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Judith for Model Number GE Profile PDW8800JO3BB

In January my dishwasher stopped in the regular cycle before the soap was released. There was about an inch of water left in the bottom and the keypad was dark and non functional. Two days later it mysteriously started up and finished the cycle and continued to work perfectly until last Friday. Same thing happened. We took the door apart on Sat and tested it for power. There is power to all components i.e the door switch, the control board and the keypad. When we depress the door switch manually power goes to the soap dispenser too. But when we depress the switch no lights and no motor start up. We reassembled it and lo and behold again in a few hours later it started up! I opened the door and then closed it and boom - no lights, no nothing again. Yesterday I cleaned out the whole bottom removing the coarse filter, spray arms, filter basket etc. LOTS of junk. Still no lights etc. I did see that the tube sticking out of the sump was pretty deteriorated but the fine filter was able to go into it. Could that be the cause or could the door switch be faulty. Seem like the keypad and control board are working. Any help would be appreciated.

Judith, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty main control board on the unit.

Mrs P, The most likely cause for the start button to not illuminate and not function would be a faulty control panel which is part number WD34X11813.

Hello James, This will definitely stop the unit from working since white is neutral and black is the 120Vac line. Both have to be good or the unit cannot operate. The door interlock switch WD21X10169 will need to be replaced.

Hello Glenn. The interlock switch WD21X10169 has both switches made into it. You only need 1 interlock switch. If it is good, you will test for power to the module. If there is power there and the unit is dead, you will replace the module WD21X10215. Hope this helps.
