Bob A December 26, 2013 for Model Number 665-16019400 Kenmore The clean light on my dishwasher was blinking, after diagnosing that the control board needed replacing, I replaced the control board and the machine worked fine for about a week. Now no lights come on and the dishwasher does not respond.
1 Answer Hello Bob. Make sure all connections are good. If so, check and see if the fuse 8193762 is bad and will need to be replaced. 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...
Will November 03, 2013 for Model Number 665.17033401 Panel buttons are completely unresponsive. Heated dry had been stuck ON, so we replaced the front panel, but there was no change in symptoms. I checked the door close switches with an ohmmeter and they're working fine. Unit is getting power, control board seems like last option, is there anything else I should check?
1 Answer Will, Based on the information provided it sounds like you have checked the necessary components for this issue. The control board would be the most likely cause for the unit not operating. Read More...
Bill October 01, 2013 Clean light blinks seven times and pauses. I replaced board after checking heating circuit with ohm meter and no open readings on meter. What do I check now?
1 Answer Hello Bill, When the clean light flashes it can only mean one of two things. It can mean that the clean button is stuck and the control panel is in need of replacement or it can mean that the heating circuit has failed. The way to tell which has happened is that if the heating circuit has failed, the clean light will flash seven times with a pause and then flash seven times with a pause, etc. If the clean button is stuck there will be no pause after seven flashes. If this is the case, you need to troubleshoot the heating circuit. There are five components: the heating element, the high limit thermostat, the door switch, the control, and the wiring harness. There should be a tech sheet behind the kick panel which will show the wiring diagram. This should enable you to shoot through the circuit with an ohm meter. If it reads open from the control board, you will need to test each component individually. It will also guide you through a self diagnostic test that is necessary to run through to clear the code so the unit can run a cycle once repaired. Read More...
Basilio August 17, 2013 for Model Number GU2400XTPS3 Initially there were blinking LEDs relative to the select buttons. Now no buttons are lit but pressing the cancel/drain button causes motor operation for 2 minutes on the display, which does count down to 1 and then turns off. There is zero function with the start button. I suspect a power outage and subsequent surge has caused the fault. Do you suspect the control board or the console at this point?
1 Answer Basilio, This issue would sound more like an issue with the console rather than the control board. Read More...
Jim July 15, 2013 for Model Number GU2400XTPS3 Hi, my dishwasher gave the 7-blink light code a few days ago. I ran it through the diagnostics and the heating element was heating fine during the wash cycle where it comes on, but didn't seem to be heating in the dry cycle. Since then, we've been running it with heated dry off and it has been fine until today. Today during a wash cycle, it smelled like burning electronics, so I took out the control board and found the back side of relay K2 was completely charred. a couple capacitors, a diode and a resistor were also really hot. Is it safe to just replace the control board, or is there something else downstream that could have cause the problem?
1 Answer Hello Jim. Yes, you need to replace the board on the unit. The other parts should be good on the unit. Read More...
G Smith July 06, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool GU2500XPT3 Clean light blinking seven times. Machine won't go on. Had repairman look at it and said I need a new control panel .If that's the case, I have reasonable mechanical ability. Can I change this myself?
1 Answer Hello G Smith. Press heated dry, normal , heated dry, normal 5 times. When the unit starts, let it complete the cycle. Once done, always get the water hot at sink before starting dishwasher. This should fix the unit. If not, replace the board. You should be able to do it. Read More...
Phil June 03, 2013 for Model Number DU1055XTPB3 The heated dry light blinks continuously and the machine will not run.
1 Answer Hello Phil, When the clean light flashes it can only mean one of two things. It can mean that the clean button is stuck and the control panel is in need of replacement or it can mean that the heating circuit has failed. The way to tell which has happened is that if the heating circuit has failed, the clean light will flash seven times with a pause and then flash seven times with a pause, etc. If this is the case, you need to troubleshoot the heating circuit.

There should be a tech sheet behind the kick panel which will show the wiring diagram. This should enable you to shoot through the circuit with an ohm meter. If it reads open from the control board, you will need to test each component individually. I have found that if the unit is solidly mounted under the counter top and is properly leveled, the heating element is the most common part to fail. Let us know if we need to render further assistance. Read More...
William April 18, 2013 for Model Number gu2500xtps3 whirlpool Over the past year several times the clean light flashes 7 times and the washer will not run. If I press normal wash then heated dry three times in succession the computer goes into the diag mode and fixes it's self. Today it started ok on normal wash and said it had 74 mins to complete the wash process. Now 2 hours later it is still running and shows 44 Min left. Do I need a control panel and a computer?
1 Answer William, You will want to check your heater circuit for a failure. The clean light blinking 7 times indicates that the unit is not heating properly. Check the heater and the thermistor to make sure that they are good. Check to make sure that the wiring does not have any breaks in it and if these check ok then you will need a new control board.

Richard April 15, 2013 for Model Number 665.16263402 Hi Team! I push the smart wash button and the start button, it fillls up and starts the do it's thing, but will not cycle to "Sensing". It just stays in the wash cycle!
1 Answer Richard, You will want to check your soil sensing switch 8542575 to make sure that it is good. If good then you will need to replace the control board WP8564547. To check the switch you would do a continuity test. The switch will read normally open unless there is significant soils in the pump. If the switch reads closed then check to make sure that there is not a lot of build up in the pump and if this checks ok then replace the switch. If the switch checks open then replace the control board. Read More...
Pete March 08, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool dishwasher 6651603340 The clean light flashes 7 times. I know this is a diagnosis code. I would like to know what the diagnosis is?
1 Answer Pete, The clean light flashing 7 times would be a heater circuit issue. You will want to check the continuity of the heater to make sure that it is not bad. Check the water temp coming into the unit to make sure that it is at least 120 degrees. Check the thermal fuse for the heater to ensure that it is not blown. Check the wiring from the heater to the controll board. IF all this checks ok then the control board would be at faulty. Read More...
