Drew October 04, 2013 for Model Number Hotpoint ADW1000K00BB The DW steps through it's cycles but it does not let in fresh water. I replaced the inlet water valve/solenoid (WD15X10003) and it did not correct the problem. Do I have a bad timer?
1 Answer Hello Drew. You need to check the float switch on the unit and see if the float is stuck or the switch is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Leo September 03, 2013 for Model Number GE Dishwasher GSD2200G02CC My dishwasher drains while it is filling, the solenoid does open and close for the drain. I figured it was the timer so I purchased a new one and I have the same problem. I did manually move the solenoid to close off the flapper and the water sprays normally, there is enough pressure that sprays the dishes when it is manually by passed. The solenoid does electrically move up and down, but I was wondering if it possible over heats and releases? Could it be the solenoid for the drain or an obstruction somewhere? It has been working fine and within the past 2 weeks it started this. NOTE: Manually moving the timer to each of the positions the water does turn on but then drains while filling. During the wash cycle the pump runs but no water in the bottom. Thanks in Advance for any assistance.
1 Answer Hello Leo. It sounds like the solenoid is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Debbie January 20, 2013 for Model Number GSD3610z04 Dishwasher fills then empties while still filling and repeats multiple times. Armature of the solenoid switch drops down then back up half way and leaks during this repeating fill/drain senario. Eventually it stops filling/draining and the pump keeps running but does not circulate. Does this sound more like a solenoid problem or a timer problem?
1 Answer Hello Debbie, With the unit draining and filling at the same time, this would be the timer causing this issue. If the solenoid is not seating fully then you would also need a new solenoid. Read More...
Mark January 15, 2013 for Model Number GSD2600G02CC DISHWASHER My dishwasher started up fine then halfway through the first cycle it stopped. Upon opening the door there was a few inches of water in the bottom of the tub. I checked the power source & breaker. I tried to restart the dishwasher & nothing. Could this be the timer?
1 Answer Hello Mark, If you have already checked the power connection behind the kick panel and there were no burned or discolored wire nuts and the wires were tight in them, the next suspect would be the door switch and switch activation mechanism. If I remember correctly, this model has a flat metal piece referred to as a "leaf" that may not be activating the switch. If the unit isn't secured under the counter or leveled so the door strikes properly, this can have a major impact on the door switch activation. Also, while inside the door panel, note as to whether or not there is moisture present. If there is, the switch and/or timer may have problems. As a general rule, check for voltage into a component and voltage back out of the component. When you find a component that the voltage goes into and not back out of, you have located the faulty component. Read More...
Rebecca A. December 02, 2012 for Model Number HDA2000G00WW Here is my problem; I have two Interlock Switches part WD21X10261. One looks like it is burned out, but I can latch the inter door and hold down Switch leaf WD1X1363 and it will run through the cycle. But when I get the outer door about 3/4 of the way up it just stops even though I still holding down the Switch leaf. Do you have any idea what could cause this
1 Answer Rebecca, You'll need to check and repair the wiring harness at the bottom of the door. On older units after years of openings and closings of the door the wires have a tendency to separate inside the insulation, when the door reaches a certian position the wires separate and the unit stops, when the door reaches the previous position the wires touch and the unit operates. Just remember to remove power to the dishwasher, before you start checking the wire harness. Read More...
1 Answer Hello, The cam is not designed to be removed from the timer. As far as I know, there are no instructions for this because it is not a normal procedure. Read More...
Archie April 10, 2012 for Model Number GSD2600G02 IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE BURNED UP TO PUMPOUT SOLONOIDS (THE ORIGINAL AND ONE NEW ONE. I DO NOT THINK THE TIMER ADVANCED AT ALL. IS IT POSIBLE THAT THE TIMER HAS A TEMPORARY DEAD SPOT. I HAVE REMOVED THE TIMER AND APPLIED POWER, IT RUNS FINE OUT OF THE DISHWASHER.
1 Answer Archie, The timer advancing isn't really the issue. If your drain solenoid is burning up, thats going to be due to a wiring issue(pinched or shorted wire), timer contact issue, supplying power to the solenoid, or the wrong solenoid is installed. If you installed WD21X802 then go with the timer WD21X33639 as long as the wiring checks OK. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
John S September 10, 2011 for Model Number GSD2200GoWW Ordered new Timer. Installed new timer, have same problem. Washer fill's with water,will not go-into wash cycle.
1 Answer John, Have you checked the wiring harness in the door to the motor, especially at the bottom of the door, The wires do have a tendency to separate in that area, from the opening and closing of the door. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
John September 02, 2011 for Model Number GSD2200GOOWW Earlier question was answered, that the timer was not working. The picture of the timer(AP3189460) looks like the motor. Is the timer attached to the back of the motor? Could you ID the location of the timer on the unit? John
1 Answer Hello John. The timer WD21X33639 is located inside the control panel. Here is a link to show you where the timer is located. It is number 904 in the diagram. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=209236&diagram_id=21599824 Read More...
John S. September 01, 2011 for Model Number GDS220GOOWW Turning the dishwasher on, it only fills with water. I doesn't start the wash cycle. I had this problem before. Had a repair man out, and he did somethiing with the timer, and the problem was fixed.(Didn't Replace It). We were away on vacation for a month, and he said to make sure there is water in the bottom of the washer if your not going to us the washer for any extended period of time.
1 Answer Hi John. The timer will then send the command (voltage) To the motor to run. The door switches are OK since you had the door closed in order for the water to fill. The timer is part # WD21X33639. Thank you. Read More...
