Rob March 10, 2017 for Model Number GU1500XTLS2 Dishwasher has sat for quite a while - non-working and unused. Convinced that I want to start using the D/W, I did some troubleshooting and replaced the control PANEL in 2/17 (thanks APP). It worked fine during a couple of batches - now nothing. No response on ANY of the control panel buttons - no lights anywhere. Metered the fuse and both switches - all were good. Ordered and replaced control BOARD and nothing. The new BOARD did not have a new fuse with it - does this need to be replaced when replacing the BOARD?
1 Answer Hello Rob. It sounds like the fuse is bad. Make sure you replace the harness that comes with the fuse when installing the fuse. The board can cause the heater to stick on and cause the fuse to go bad. Read More...
Ted January 10, 2017 for Model Number DU1055XTVS1 I took my dishwasher apart, cleaned out the grinder, and put it together again. This did not help. Then I ordered a thermal fuse. Replaced as I was supposed to, still not fixed. It turns on when I press start. Fills with water and when the wash cycle starts it shuts off. If I drain it and start over a couple of times, then it works. I thought for sure it was the thermal fuse. Nope. It just happened again. What's the problem? I checked the door switches for continuity and they are fine, too.
1 Answer Hello Ted, You should run the diagnostic cycle to see what codes come up. This is the starting place for diagnosing this design machine. This is done as follows: To invoke the Diagnostics Cycle, perform the following key presses or actions in less than 6 seconds while in standby: Heated Dry ? Normal ? Heated Dry ? Normal ¦ To rapid advance one interval at a time, press the Start/Resume key. ¦ Invoking Service Diagnostics clears all status and last ran information from memory and restores defaults; It also forces the next cycle to be a sensor calibration cycle. Calibration cycles begin with a “sensor check” to determine whether the dishwasher has an OWI soil sensor or not. If the control detects an OWI, it forces two rinses to occur prior to Final Rinse (to assure clear water), then calibrates the OWI during the final rinse. Turn on all LEDs immediately upon receiving entry sequence (even if door open) and throughout this first interval as a display test. On numeric time display models, display the following software information after the initial display test: ¦ Interval 18 – Dishwasher control platform number (“d3” Raptor/Tall Tub, “d2” Cheetah/Briva, “d1” Rush/Tall Tub, “d0” New Gen). ¦ Interval 17, 16, 15 – Software generation number (incremented for each release of software to production). If flow meter is operating correctly the control will turn on the Clean LED when flow meter counts 3 or more pulses anytime during these intervals. Thermistor (temperature sensor) checks: ¦ Turn Clean LED on if thermistor is in its normal temperature range of 17°C–71°C (62°F–160°F). ¦ Turn sanitized LED on if thermistor is above 38°C (100°F). OWI (optical soil sensor) checks: ¦ Check OWI sensor for the presence of clear water during the 5 sec. pause in interval 13 and turn on the Clean LED in interval 12 if clear water detected. ¦ Check OWI sensor for the presence of air during the last 5 sec. of Drain interval 3 and turn on the Clean LED in interval 2 if air detected. ¦ Check OWI sensor for presence of bulk soil in the water during pause interval 8; execute max. allowed APFs and turn on Clean LED in interval 7 if bulk soil detected. Heater relay must lag wash motor relay by 1.5 sec. at start-up of heated wash intervals to avoid simultaneous heater and motor in-rush current. Further information including strip circuits are on the tech sheet for the unit. It should be in a plastic bag behind the kick panel. Read More...

1Adam12 November 01, 2015 for Model Number 665.16932000 Hi, My dishwasher was running fine when all of a sudden my wife heard a "pop" and all the lights on the dishwasher panel went out, the dishwasher quit working and there was a slight electrical smell at the dishwasher. The fuse at the main fuse box was flipped. Could this be the thermal fuse or a bad control panel? I have since disconnected the wiring at the base of the dishwasher until the problem can be located. Thanks for any assistance/advice!
1 Answer 1Adam12, It is likely the thermal fuse on the unit has blown but you will want to check the heater, to make sure that it is good with no leaking in the unit. If this checks ok then it could be a faulty control board. Read More...

Bob March 07, 2015 for Model Number GU2300XTLQ1 The control board p/n 8534866 burnt up on my Whirlpool dishwasher. By burnt up I mean one of the connections to one of three relays melted off completely inside the wiring harness and there was a black trace on the board leading to the relay. It melted a hole in the plastic board and smoke poured out of the unit (stunk up the kitchen!). The thermal fuse was blackened but did not blow. I replaced the bad wiring harness and the control board, Dishwasher worked perfectly for the first load with the original fuse. On the second load during the wash cycle the fuse blew. I figured it was weakened from the board failure so I ordered a new one and followed the instructions to replace the wires and fuse. Same thing happened on the second load with the new fuse. What could be causing the fuse to blow? Stuck heater thermostat? Any ideas what else I should check? Thanks!
1 Answer Bob, The most likely cause for the fuse to blow would be high amperage from the motor causing the fuse to blow. You will want to check to make sure that there is nothing caught in the impeller that would cause drag on the motor. Read More...
Tony P. January 05, 2015 I have replace this part twice on my dishwasher. The first one lasted 1yr and 5 months. The second one lasted 5 months. The second time I even replaced the complete harness. What is causing the fuse to blow after several months?
1 Answer Tony, a couple of things to check for. Make sure the power connections and wire nuts in the junction box on the front frame of the dishwasher are good and tight and properly polarized. Then check the connections at the heater element and hi limit thermostat. You didn't mention it, but do you experience brown outs or have power outages ? Read More...
Tony January 03, 2015 for Model Number MDB7809AWQ2 I'm replacing my control panel. the wires(4) in one harness have burned. I want to cut the wires back and add high temp push on terminals and reinstall. Is that ok or do I have to have the harness?That is that black "block"
1 Answer Tony, If the terminals will accept spade connectors then you can put high temp push on connectors on. If they are not spade then you would need the harness. Read More...
Currituck January 03, 2015 for Model Number KUDio1FLS66 Will not start. Fuse Ok. Door lock OK. (The two switches close) The Control Lock ck light is lit. When any other control button is pushed the control lock light blinks 3-4 time and then goes back steady. No other light on the control panel lights up when pushed.
1 Answer Currituck, Press and hold the control lock for 5 seconds and it should go out then try to cycle the unit. The light should be in the off position as the unit is on control lock out with it on. Read More...
