David T. May 28, 2012 for Model Number KUDK02CRBS1 First, my dishwasher started stopping in the middle of cycles, and sometimes the lights on the control panel would blink rapidly (no pattern). When this happened, I couldn't even get a cycle to start again. I changed out the control board, it worked fine for 2 days, and then the problems started up again. I'm thinking it's the control panel at this point, but I haven't been able to run the diagnostic to test it since I don't know where the thermistor is (I think I'm supposed to plug/unplug it twice). Is it accessible from the front (toeplate area) or do I have to take the whole dishwasher out to get to it? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello David, The thermistor is accessible from the front when the kick panel is removed. From what your describing, I would check the polarity of the wiring as the polarity is very important to the electronic control. Also check that the wire nuts are tight and haven't been getting hot. I know this is aggravating but you should check the gauge of the wiring to the unit. Minimum gauge is 14/2 with a ground. The only reason I mention this is that I have seen the same situation several times and these are issues that I found to be at fault. Let me know if I can assist you further. Read More...
Andy May 20, 2012 for Model Number KUDK03CTBL0 During the drying cycle the motor seems to run on and seems not to shut off except when you depress the cancel button. Also the fill valve upon 1st start-up when water is first turned on the is a slight water mist from the valve,but not any more during operation after the initial fill(1st time water is turned on to unit).
1 Answer Hello Andy. Check and see if the float is stuck in the up position on the unit. If so, you will need to remove anything under the float, or clean the float shaft. Read More...
S.R. May 01, 2012 for Model Number DU1055XTSS0 Hi. Dishwasher stopped working. When we plug machine in, it makes a noise, just like it used to before the wash cycle but nothing after. No lights on control panel.Replaced Thermal fuse - no effect. Your panelist suggested part # AP4309110. Q1: would this be the right part? Q2: does the part come with instructions and is it easy to install?
1 Answer Hi SR. Use a volt/ohm meter part #@ MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Use the supplied wiring diagram in the toe kick panel or in the control panel area to flolloe the wiring from the junction blox ,up through the switches and to the board through the fuse. If you have the power up to the board with the latch tripped, then yes you need to replace the control panel part # WPW10084141. If you already replaced the thermal fuse then just remove all body static by discharging a few times on the bare metal frame a few times. Note all wiring. Onl;y replace one connection at a time. User the tech sheet for the wiring diagram. The noise concerns me that you have a dirty pump and sump assy. See if there is a bone or debris holding the chopper blade assy or the impeller seal assy tight. We are here to assist. Thank You. Read More...
Charles S April 18, 2012 for Model Number KUDK02CRBLO Soap dish won't open, replaced with new one, still won't open. Thanks Charles
1 Answer Hello Charles. If all the wires are good, and the dispenser is new, then the control board WPW10084141 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
James K. April 01, 2012 for Model Number GU2700XTSY1 I have tried to do all the testing that you suggested only to not have any luck. My problem is as follows. When pressing Cancel/Drain it starts for 2 minutes then stops . If I try pressing start if just continues to flash and doesn't fill up and clean. 9 months ago I had this problem and the control board was replaced. This time I guess I will replace it my self. I believe it's part AP4309110 but I'm not sure. On the part that seems to be defective it says P/N W10084141B or FL0291001OB on the back. Are these numbers the same as part # AP 4309110 that you suggest I replace . I just want to order the correct Control Board. Thanks for your help. Jim
1 Answer Hello James. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel WPW10021040 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. If some of the buttons work and others do not, you will need to replace the control panel. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Mark March 31, 2012 for Model Number 665.13724k601 My Kenmore dishwasher,the lights on the control panel are dim and on all the time. The cancel is lit and is bright. Dishwasher will run but is eratic.
1 Answer Mark, The most likely issue for your complaint, is a defective control panel/keypad assembly WP8558202. The manufacturer reccomends you test or replace the control panel and if the problem persists, then the control board. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Andy March 24, 2012 for Model Number whirlpool quiet partner II model DU1100xtpba my dishwasher fully drains after first wash cyle, after 2nd wash cycle it drains half and pauses and than starts to refill and continues with full drain, than on rinse cycle only drains half...when i press cancel drain it drains completely...I believe it is a control board...please advise
1 Answer Andy, Before you replace the control board, you need to check the optical sensor WPW10705575 and make sure there are no suds developping in the tub from the rinse agent, or detergent. If the sensor does not produce the correct readings to the control board, it will conduct an "APF" cycle, until the sensor is satisfied. You can remove the sensor from the bottom of the pump housing and check for deposits that may have built up on it. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Jean March 06, 2012 for Model Number GU3200XTPS5 The 'normal' light blinks constantly on my whirpool gold . No break in the blinking pattern. Dishwasher does not work and unplugging it hasn't helped. Help is GREATLY Hello Melissa. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. A rapidly blinking LED over one of the keys of the keypad (or sometimes a “dead” keypad/console) indicates one or more key switch lines are stuck or shorted on either the control or the keypad. To determine which one, do the following test: 1. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power. 2. Open console and disconnect the keypad ribbon connection from the control (at P1). Put console back together. 3. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power. 4. With door latched, disconnect and reconnect thermistor or OWI sensor two times in less than 6 seconds. 5. Wait 10 seconds, then monitor the control’s response to the thermistor: ?If the control is OK (no longer sees shorts with the keypad unplugged), it will respond by running service diagnostics. Listen for it to begin filling after it concludes the 5–10 second display test at the beginning of the service diagnostics cycle. Check and/or replace the keypad if the control responds OK. ?If the control is not OK (still sees shorts with the keypad unplugged), then it will NOT respond to the thermistor at all and will remain off after 10 seconds go by. Make sure the keypad is unplugged for this test. Confirm that all other connections are made, the console and door are reassembled, power is back on, and the door is latched; then repeat steps 1-5 above. If still no response, replace the control. I did this diagnostics and I've got code d3 the 05 the 16 with normal light and heated dry then the dishwasher start doing the 16 minute cycle but I have the fuse blow up after wile and the wire heated the when the dishwasher stoped it give me on the dash like time delay with 1H 2H 3H till 9H then it stoped again with the normal light blinking any help sombody told me to replace the termistor.any help
1 Answer Hello Jean. Make sure the door switches are good on the unit. If so, you will need to replace the control panel WP3385741 on the unit. You can try removing the ribbon cable and cleaning it, but if the problem continues, you will need to replace the control panel. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brysteve February 28, 2012 for Model Number GU2700XTSS1 I have the whirlpool gold quiet partner iv that is only 3 1/2 years old. The pots and pans setting has been a constant flashing green light and sometimes adaptive wash and normal wash will flash with the pots and pans light for a total of three flashing lights at one time. The machine has been reset several times and i have had two different appliance techs come over to try and fix it and end up leaving with no fault found. The machine will work but will stop in between causing me to have to press random buttons to get it to start working. what needs to be replaced, the panel or the board???....please help.....thanks
1 Answer Hi. Use the supplied service manual in the toe kick or in the control panel area. It will lead you to the diagnostic code which tells the circuit that is effected. Make sure all wires are tight and clean. The most common reason of the constant blinking is that the Optical Water indicator (turbidity sensor) is either sensing the unclean water or the thermistor is out of value. Make sure that you run the water at the sink while loading it to fill with a fresh hot wash. Incoming temperatures have to be at least 120°, if not then you need to get a qualified plumber to raise it. Test the sink tap water with a thermometer. This effects the cleaning. It will benefit you to use the dishwasher magic monthly to clean internal pump and externally inside of the tub. Use a wet ship vac to disassemble the unit down to the chopper blade and flush out the wash arms and parts under the sink. Replace as necessary. These blinking lights can be because your unit is too dirty and the sensors is having a hard time... This cleaning will insure the proper water pressure to all wash arms. Let us know what evolves from there or if this cleaning repairs the codes. It will be a lot cheaper then throwing in a board. Thank You. Read More...

What parts are needed and is this something the I can fix successfully? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Dee. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel WP8558208 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
