Tom July 04, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Gold Quiet Partner III Dishwasher The switch feels dead -- no resistance or on action felt when pressed. The "normal" cycle light is on, the "glass express" cycle light is flashing and the "time remaining" indicator has 2 flat (horizontal) lines where it normally shows the time remaining to a delayed start. What could be the problem?

Bill April 01, 2014 for Model Number DU1100XTPB7 I ordered the actuator for my door latch because my door wasn't latching shut and my unit wouldn't run. After installing it, it still won't latch or run. The handle looks fine. What else do I need to do?
1 Answer Hello Bill. You need to make sure the unit is level. Also, check the strike WP8580309 and see if it is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...

James January 15, 2014 for Model Number kudpo2frss1 The door just falls open when opened, like the spring doesn't work. The door doesn't stay closed. Whatever clicked when it would close just doesn't hold it closed anymore. I have a new gasket because it leaks but I haven't put it on yet. Thought I would get the other parts before I start. Could you let me know what I need to fix. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello James. You need to check the link cables 8194001 and see if they need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Ken September 15, 2013 for Model Number gu2500xtp7 The latch assembly on my gu2500xtp7 (dishwasher) feels loose as if there should be a spring somewhere in it. The door closes but feels loose as well. The dishwasher will not start. Please help, thank you. Also, shouldn't there be a rubber seal between the door and the unit? I could have sworn there was one when I bought the thing.
1 Answer Hello Ken, The unit should have a door gasket W10542314. The door gasket is only available as a kit with the door strike. If the door gasket is missing, this is probably the whole issue since most dishwasher door latches feel "too loose" when the door is opened. Since the kit comes with the door strike, I would examine the strike on your unit closely and if it appears to be bent or rusting, replace it with the one in the kit. Read More...
John June 27, 2013 for Model Number Sears dishwasher 665.13743 Power is O K -- worked fine yesterday -- closed door no panel lights for cycle, etc. could it be door switch or circut board
1 Answer John, With no lights coming on the display panel you will first want to check to make sure that there is 120 vac to the control board. If there is not 120 vac at the control board then you will want to check the thermal fuse for continuity. If there is no continuity then replace the fuse. If there is 120 vac then you will want to check to make sure that there is a good firm connection of the ribbon harness to the control board. If there is then the control panel would most likely be the cause of failure. Read More...
Jen January 26, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01IJBS0 I replaced the door latch on our dishwasher (it was broken and one spring was missing) and now when I restore power and try to turn it on, the lights all come on, but the little dash that usually starts turning indicating that it's starting, is just staying lit and dishwasher won't start. When I replaced the latch, it was missing a spring...I am waiting for that part to come in but I wouldn't have thought that spring would be necessary for it to work. I do have one spring...but could that be the problem...the missing spring? Or could I have messed with the electronics? Thanks.
1 Answer Jen, We would not expect a missing spring to be the issue. The display is working, so the door switches are "closed" and you have power to the control board. Your next check should be the touchpad ribbon between the control panel and the control board. Remove the connector, and clean the insertion end of the ribbon thoroughly with rubbing or denatured alcohol. Reinsert the ribbon into the connector properly and tightly. If the problem persists replace the control panel WP8270232. Read More...
Kathy D. October 24, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 665-13723K601 Dishwasher The door on my dishwasher does not stay open, (I used to be able to open it and the door would go down all the way and stay). Now it will only open and the door will not go down all the way unless I have the trays pulled out weighing it down. The dishwasher is still cleaning great. Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
2 Answers Hello Kathy, The door springs are adjustable. Remove the kick panel and look to each side. The springs are readily visible, although you may not be able to see the slots that the springs fit into. There are normally 7 to 9 slots for the door spring adjustments. These are actually put on the units so if a decorative panel to match the cabinets is installed and the door is a lot heavier, the springs can be adjusted and keep the door from dropping like a rock. If there are slots toward the front of the unit in front of the slot the springs are now installed in, the springs can be moved to the slots closer to the front to make the door pull shut less aggressively.

Pete May 10, 2012 for Model Number GU1100XTLS1 Door on dishwasher will NOT lock, also lock LIGHT will not go on.
1 Answer Hello Pete. You will need to check and see if the actuator WP8524471 is not broken on the unit. The lock light does not come on on the units when the door is closed. It only comes on when the control panel is locked out on the unit. Also, check and make sure the strike WP8580309 is not bent on the unit and causing the unit not to close properly. Read More...
