Kim April 14, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher Model #665 15779990 The cancel/drain button keeps flashing and the lock button keeps flashing. Does not let you reset. Washer stopped at some point and still has water in it.
2 Answers Hello Kim. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel WP3384340 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Ray February 02, 2015 for Model Number MDBH969AWS5 On the control panel, the lights on the "normal" wash and "delay" and "cancel" are all flashing. Does that sound like a control panel or a control board issue?
1 Answer Hello Ray. Make sure the door switches are good. If so, you will need to order and replace the control panel 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...
Mediumgroove January 29, 2015 for Model Number MDB8859AWW1 My dishwasher is roughly 6 years old; in Nov 2014, the hi-temp fuse blew; this restored the washer. It returned to functional ability however for the last two months regardless of setting from light to steam clean setting the washer will stop midcycle after 45-50 minutes of cleaning. I have run the field service without error several times (or at least it gets to the point that it shuts off, similar to what it does when washing--yet no visible error code from the display). I have checked the door, the lower fuse, the pump, and wiring. All have congruence and no visible signs of damage. The electronic control does make a very light humming sound, yet no signs of scaring or damage to the board. The drain hose is clear and the heating element gets hot however I have not tested the resistance of the element. Is this a control board problem or something else I can check before biting the bullet. Thank you in advance.
1 Answer Mediumgroove, Based on the information it would appear that the control board would be the cause for the failure. The control board part number is WPW10285180. Read More...
Bill January 14, 2015 for Model Number DU1345XTVQ2 My dishwasher wont leave wash cycle it sounds like draining and grinding mode. But wont leave this mode. Washer is empty of water.. Will not continue to next mode.
Ken November 29, 2014 for Model Number MDB7759AWW3 We have tried every cycle and each time it will not drain the water out.If u press cancel it will drain the water we have taken the dishwasher apart and there is nothing plugged the flapper valve is good.We were told the board was defective and we have replaced it and it still does the same thing.any suggestions. Thank u Ken
1 Answer Ken, You will want to put the unit into a cycle and check the drain pump for 120 vac when it is supposed to go through the drain. If there is 120 vac then you will want to replace the drain pump. If there is not then check the wiring between the pump and the control board. If the wiring checks ok then the control board would be defective. These are the only components that would allow drain. Read More...
Mitch S November 28, 2014 for Model Number KUDC03FVSS4 My dispenser door was not opening. I replaced the dispenser unit (old wax motor looked fried) but it still does not open. Do I replace the control board now? Thanks Mitch
1 Answer Hello Mitch. Yes, if the wiring is good, you will need to replace the board on the unit. Read More...
Michael S November 26, 2014 for Model Number #MDB4709AWS1 I am trying to disassemble the assembly to get inside of the Dishwasher to clean the food that is blocking the screen. There is a certain screwdriver that is used to take off the screws that's not a normal screwdriver. I need to know what to purchase that will fit this model's screws. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to get a torx screwdriver to remove the screws. Some are T-15 and some are T-20. Read More...
Jim November 14, 2014 for Model Number du1055xtvd8 Dishwasher stopped working in the middle of running. No lights on control panel. Tested and power coming in to fuse assembly. Could it be a bad fuse, or do I need to replace entire control board?
1 Answer Jim, It's most likely an "open" fuse W10258275 . Turn the power off and check across the two terminals for a "closed" circuit. You can also check for 120 VAC across the P6 and P2 terminals on the control board. if the fuse is "closed" or you have the voltage at the terminals, then replace the control board WPW10285180. (be careful performing the live voltage checks at the control board. Read More...
Laurie October 04, 2014 for Model Number MDBH969AWS1 Our dishwasher is very screwy. Sometimes it will run a normal cycle and be fine. Other times, when we are waiting for the drying cycle to finish, it will start washing all over again. If we are not there to catch it, it will just keep rewashing. Another thing that has been an issue is that if we start it and we want to add something to it right after we start the cycle the machine gets completely messed up and we can't get it to restart without walking away for a while and coming back to it. There are times when we come to the machine and multiple lights are blinking and the machine is stuck. There is no consistency and we never know if it will work or not. Are these symptoms of a particular part, or should we be looking to replace the whole machine?
1 Answer Laurie, With the type of issue that you are having this would be a faulty control board on the unit. Read More...
David September 23, 2014 for Model Number MDBH949AWW0 The HEAVY, NORMAL, LIGHT and RINSE will not light up. The HI TEMP, HEATED DRY and SANITIZE light up OK. I have the checked the door switch and the thermal fuse - both OK. Washer will not operate at all. Main circuit board?
1 Answer Hello David. No, you will need to order and replace the control panel W10810347 on the unit. Read More...
