My dishwasher will heat during both the wash and dry cycles. Total cycle time is approximately 2 1/2 hours long. Incoming water temp at the kitchen faucet is 122F, and is approximately 100F in the d/w tub just after filling. Water temp in the d/w remains at approximately 100F for the first 45-60 minutes before cooling down. The "sensing", "add-a-dish", and "water heating" lights on the control panel remain lit during the entire cycle. Continuity test results of the various heating components are as follows: Thermal fuse .3 Ohms Hi-limit thermostat .6-.8 Ohms Thermistor 59-60K Ohms @ 69F room temp Heating element 9.6-10 Ohms I cannot find any loose or damaged electrical connections, nor any damaged wiring. I do not know how to test the control board. Any ideas? Thanks.

Dan, It sounds like the unit is operating per specs. The dishwasher will try to heat the water to 140 degrees and if it cannot reach that temp within a certain amount of time it will progress through. You will want to make sure that the internal water temperature in the bottom of the dishwasher is a minimum of 120 degrees for the unit to operate properly.

Hello Mongo. Yes, it sounds like the fuse 8193762 is bad on the unit. To access the fuse, you need to disconnect the power and remove the inner door panel out of the unit. Once the inner door panel is removed, you can access the control board in the unit. The thermal fuse is located on the control board.

Kathy, Suds in a dishwasher tub usually indicate the use of the wrong detergent, too much detergent for the water conditions. There may have been dry detergent deposits on the dishes, or in the tub. To dissipate the suds, start the dishwasher, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of cooking oil or powderred non dairy coffee creamer to the water and allow the dishwasher to wash for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the suds in the water is gone. Drain the dishwasher and run a rinse cycle to flush the tub and mechanisms clean. There are various lights that do illuminate during the cycle and at the end of the cycle as well. It sounds like you need to add or fill the rinse agent dispenser, and the water got to the proper temperature in a sanitized wash cycle (160 dgrs.F.) You'll probably want to review the owners manual that came with the machine to varify the proper loading, detergent and rinse aid usage, etc.

I have called a repairman to fix my dishwasher 4 times the first time he replaced the timer and when that didn't work he replaced the control panel my dishwasher was fairly new so i put the great expense to do this the second and third time he came and replaced the thermal fuse it worked the first time but the cycles would not advance. He wanted to replace to replace the control panel again. He Left telling me that it may be cheaper to replace the dishwasher I went on line and discovered that on both times all i needed to do was re reset the codes. well my dishwasher is not turning on again and suspect the fuse again. why is it blowing fuses every 6 months or so?

1 Answer

Don, The control panel fuse could "open" due to several reasons, You'll want to check and make sure there are no loose connections in the electrical junction box on the bottom front frame of the dishwasher. Check and make sure you have the proper rated power supply to the unit. check and make sure the wires to the heater element and hi limit thermostat aren't loose or touching anything under the dishwasher. Then replace the fuse kit, you need to follow the instructions and use all the parts in the kit.

Hello Kris, 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.

Lou, Under ideal conditions the maximum amp draw on this style dishwaser will be 12.5 to 13.5 amps(with motor running and heater energized in a heated wash setting). You will need to check for loose connections at the junction box, heater element and thermostat, and the water fill leveland temperature(start the dishwasher aloow it to fill and wash for 5 minutes, open the door and remove the lower rack, the water level should be within 1/4 inch of the heater element bottom and the temperature needs to be 120 to 130 dgrs F. If all is OK you'll need to replace the thermal fuse kit 8193762. You must follow the instructions and use all the parts in the kit to repair the dishwasher properly. Thanks
