Bryon June 09, 2017 for Model Number DU1055XTSD2 Bought new spring for door latch, I cant find a diagram showing where or how spring attaches. Can someone please help?
1 Answer Byron, We do not have a diagram showing how the spring goes on but there should be a hook on the latch and on the bolt of the latch assembly where the spring would attach. Read More...
Mike April 10, 2017 for Model Number GU2400XTPQ1 I have just replaced the inner door on this Whirlpool dishwasher, as the little curved splash guard on the bottom (keeps water from splashing up into the bottom of the inner door panel, and leaking out through that panel onto the floor in front of the unit) had worn and torn off, allowing splash leakage. The new part seems to be same dimensions as the old one, but now it is very hard to latch the door. I have to push hard enough to get it to latch, that it causes the top quarter of the inner door to curve slightly. This is causing the air vent assembly to pull away very slightly on the bottom, allowing water to leak down past the air vent gasket. All the latch parts seem to be intact, and in good working order. Any idea why the new panel would cause this difficulty in latching? Did not have this problem with the old panel, and all other parts are same ones. The new panel seems to be the common factor here. I've confirmed the cause of this leak. When the door is not latched, the air vent is watertight (poured some water into it and watched- no leak when door is not latched). Any help or troubleshooting suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks! Mike
1 Answer Mike, Check and make sure the door panel is mounted to the door frame properly, and aligned to the tub opening, and the dishwasher is level in both directions and properly secured to the cabinet. Check the lower spray arm for free movement and debris in the jet openings, and split seams. You should've replaced the air vent gasket " AP6012303 Inner Door (Also Order Item 6) AP6012299 Gasket, Air Vent ". Read More...
John February 01, 2017 for Model Number 665. 15119k217 I have Kemore dishwasher Model# 665.15119k217 with no hot water-- replaced element so what can it be.
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to check and see if the thermostat WP661566 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Jose September 02, 2015 for Model Number du1055xtsq2 Turns off at the start. All lights go off. If you push and hold door in will start again. Door latch outside loose, but bracket seems firm.
1 Answer Hello Jose. You will need to check for bad wiring or loose connections in the door. If all is good, then you will need to check and see if the door latch on the unit is bad or if the actuator WP8524472 is bad on the unit. Read More...
Justin February 19, 2015 for Model Number du1100xtpb7 Is there a piece that connects the bracket latch to the latch actuator?
1 Answer Hello Justin, The latch actuator WP8524471 fits into the slots on the latch bolt 8193882. The handle WP8534984 then clips in and holds it in position. Read More...
Gary April 22, 2014 for Model Number whirlpool gu2400xtpq1 I have the 7 blinking light sequence on the clean light. Have to reset,then it will work if the door is almost slammed shut. Then we may forget after a few times to slam the door and we get the 7 blinking lights again before the cycle finishes again. Can the door latch be bad or the door switch be bad? is there a way to test it? One of the plastic hubs that the screws go in to on the door at the top was broken, i tried to super glue, but don't know if it held or if that might cause it to not "seal" all the way. There are no leaks. Thanks, Gary.
1 Answer Hello Gary. It does sound like the latch is bad. However, the 7 blinking lights are not the latch. That is a heating error. Either the water coming into the unit is cold or the heater, thermostat, or control board has failed on the unit. Read More...
Aj November 12, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool gu2300xtv No power to any buttons on front, fuse replaced same symptoms. Getting 110v to inside at panel leads. How do I know if the control panel needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Aj. If there is power coming to the board and all is dead, replace the control board on the unit. 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...
Dan September 25, 2013 for Model Number DU1048XTPQ4 Strike plate is good. Unit has been installed for a number of years. The handle has play in it and will not latch.
1 Answer Hello Dan. You will need to disassemble the door and look for broken parts. If none is found, the dishwasher could have shifted and you will need to check the level. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Dan. Make sure the unit is level and the latch strike WP8580309 is good. Unlevel will cause the issue. Read More...
