For Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Latch Actuator (Part Number: OEM18038607)

1 Answer

Len, The more likely issue is a faulty keypad on the conmtrol panel WP8531248. " PROBLEM: WON’T RUN AND LED ABOVE KEY(S) IS BLINKING > Stuck key(s) or shorted circuit(s) in keypad. > Check keypad. > Shorted circuits or connections on the control that read the keys. > Check control." The door latch and switches may need to be aligned or adjusted, you'll be able to check them when you replace the control panel., but that's the least likely issue at this point. Good Luck and Thanks

Allen, Power to the fill valve solenoid (120 VAC) is supplied through the K3 relay on the control board, on the blue/black wire, down to the float switch, through the float switch and into the solenoid coil. The brown wire at the solenoid is routed up to the control board to the P2pin3 wire and completes the circuit to the neutral leg through the control board circuitry at the P7 white wire. Due to libility and safety reasons the manufacturer and APP Do Not reccomend you attempt to rebuild or repair a printed circuit board. At 102 VAC to the fill valve, check and make sure there are no loose wires or connections in thw wiring we mentioned and repalce the control board if all's OK. Thanks and Good Luck

Hello Sherry. If your unit no longer lights up or functions the first thing you would want to check is that you are getting power to the appliance. If you are, it is possible your thermal fuse, 8193762, has failed. If you need more assistance troubleshooting the unit, you can visit the repair forum and the techs there could walk you through the diagnostic process. I will include a link to them in this message. I hope this info helps! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com
