Vidur S. September 17, 2013 for Model Number 106.52522100 We have a Kenmore 2 door fridge, Model number 106.52522100, and it has a serial number of: SL4950889. There was a leak under it a year ago, and the ice maker stopped producing ice. Basically water would not flow into the ice making tray anymore; I think these two things - the leak under the unit and the no water flowing into the ice making tray may be related, or may be they are not, I'm not sure. Anyhow, after talking with your knowledgeable sales people on the phone I ordered a new Inlet Valve AP5263471 and new Ice Maker AP 2984633 and installed them, and I find the problem is still there - water is not going into the ice maker and filling it up, so no ice gets made. There is water going into the water inlet valve, but for some reason the inlet valve is not switching on or something is blocking the water from flowing into the ice making tray, hence no ice. I am told now that I might need to order a control board for this fridge to finally fix the problem. Can you confirm that this is what I need to do? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Vidur, You should check the fill tube to make sure it is not frozen up. If it is frozen, the water will not be able to get to the ice maker. You should use a straw or something to check for ice in the fill tube since it can sometimes be frozen completely clear and the ice inside it isn't visible. If it is frozen, you can thaw it with a hair dryer. This may take up to 15 minutes but it will clear the ice with no parts damage. This is caused by a failing water valve, which you have already replaced, so this will complete the repair you have already begun. Read More...
Vidur September 17, 2013 for Model Number 665.17822000 Hello Technical Support, We have a Kenmore dishwasher: 665.17822000 For the last year, when I pressed the Normal Wash and then Hi Temperature Wash button, only the Normal Wash light would light up on the control panel but the High Temperature Wash button stopped lighting up, but I believe the dishwasher still ran a High Temperature Wash after pressing the Start button, but I have no way of knowing this, except that the dishwasher did correctly run a dry dishes cycle and was very hot once done. We have just been living with this problem, since the washer did run a full cycle and we didn't care much. In the last two days, however, when I press Normal Wash (green light on panel does appear as usual) and then then Hi Temperature Wash button (still no light on panel), and then the Start button the machine just simply switches off altogether, and the green light on the control panel under Normal wash goes off, and the entire control panel appears blank. If I press Start again, I hear the machine starting to whir as if it is trying to empty the dishwasher of water, kind of like if you were to press the cancel button during a wash cycle. Is this a problem with the main control board AP 3175633 or control panel AP 3097109 or Thermal fuse AP 3115186? By the way, our control panel is white in color, not black - a black control panel is what shows up on your website, is there a different part number for a white control panel, if a new control panel is what we need, according to you? Thanks much Sir, Vidur Sood San Mateo, Ca
1 Answer Vidur, The issue should be in the control panel/keypad assembly WP3384470. The LED lights are imbedded in the panel circuit board, if a light is inoperable, you'll need to replace the panel. Your other issue with the dishwasher display going blank, and attempting to drain, when reprogrammed, is also an indication of a faulty keypad assembly. Read More...
Joe September 09, 2013 The lock light just blinks. It won't reset. The dishwasher won't run a cycle. What should I do?
1 Answer Hello Joe, Watch the clean light and see if it flashes constantly or, if after seven flashes there is a pause. If there is no pause, the touch panel has a stuck key and will require replacement. If there is a pause, the heating circuit has experienced a failure and should be checked. If this is the case, putting the unit into a self-diagnostic cycle will clear the fault code and the unit will run through a cycle until the control recognizes the failed circuit again. At that point it will flash the code again. If you could please re-post with the model number on the units' I.D. tag, we can provide you with the self-diagnostic sequence and the components that should be checked. Read More...
Barbara M August 01, 2013 for Model Number gu940spgb3 Was using normal cycle but it stopped working had to use heavy cycle. Now when you choose a cycle the machine will feel with water, but won,t do anything else including drain . All lights come on but it wont go through cycles.
1 Answer Barbara, You will want to check for power coming from the control board to the motor. If there is not 120 vac then you will need to replace the control board. If the motor is getting power then replace the motor. Read More...

Anuraag July 20, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool Dishwasher GU940SCGQ2 The "normal' light keeps blinking and the dishwasher does not work. I tried to re-set it by unplugging it for 30 minutes. It worked for about 20 minutes and then stopped again.
1 Answer Anuraag, The flashing normal light would be an indication of a stuck keypad. When you unplugged and it came back then you will need to replace the control panel assembly 8051707. Read More...
Jim July 19, 2013 for Model Number KUDS25SWH1 I have a kitchen aid KUDS25SWH1 the child lock comes it will reset but it will come on again sometimes in minutes sometimes on the next wash. Is this the control panel or the control board?
1 Answer Hello Jim. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the control panel W10757838. Read More...
Bruce July 01, 2013 for Model Number kuds25shbti My diswasher stays on child lock and even when I hold the energy saver button for 4 seconds, it won't start. Do I have a switch problem, a control problem, or a button problem? It will turn on sometimes if I hit the button panel with my hand but not often. Otherwise when I push the start button, the child light just goes on and I cant get it off. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bruce, While it is possible for the control board to have an issue, most of the time this will be caused by the button being stuck. Replacing the control panel (AP3044935) should take care of it. Read More...
Gary D June 25, 2013 for Model Number kitchen aid KUDR25SH When I select the desired buttons for washing and then hit the start button all the lights go out. The dishwasher never starts. It did start one time after unpluging it for 30 minutes? For no reason, you might go through the steps and get lucky and it will start, but not very often. Thinking it's the controll board? pn # 8530929.
1 Answer Gary, You will want to check to make sure that the ribbon harness from the keypad to the control board has a good firm connection. Make sure that there is no corrosion on the ribbon harness. If this checks ok then the keypad would most likely be the issue. Read More...
John June 15, 2013 for Model Number kuds25shbl1 the child lock light continuously blinks and no functions work. tried resetting circuit breaker but did not help. touch pad appears to be in good condition. no cracking and all buttons seem to press and release. would this be a bad electronic control assembly or a bad touch pad? I unplugged and re connected the ribbon cables but no help.
1 Answer John, You will want to make sure that the child lock is not engaged. To turn off child lock press and hold the energy saver light for 4 seconds. If this does not clear then you have a bad control panel. Read More...
