Karl August 13, 2011 for Model Number KUDR25SHBL1 After selected cycle and option won't start. Push again it goes to drain cycle. I found bad overfill switch and replaced. After few days same problem. After selecting every cycle, suddenly soak /scrub turn the system on. Do you think bad ribbon cable or K3 relay on the control board intermittent? Thank you
1 Answer Hi Karl. Have you removed the toe kick panel and accessed the tech. sheet? You then will be able to follow it and put it in a field service test. This will help decipher what area to focus on a potential problem. It sounds like the keypad might have an issue. This part # is WP9744109. Thank you. Read More...
Jim August 09, 2011 for Model Number Kitchen Aid KUDS25SH I just replaced the Electronic Control Assembly panel on my Kitchen Aid KUDS25SH because I could not reset the child lock light. Well that fixed that problem, all lights come on, but the dishwasher wont come on. After about 30 seconds lights go out.
1 Answer Hi Jim. Press cancel to reset the unit for a new cycle. It will initiate a drain/pump out and then turn off. Double check the float switch to insure the float stem is properly placed on the float switch. This will allow the water valve to fill the tub. Double check the ribbon cable to insure that it is not pinched and tightly connected. Make sure the child lock is not on. Make sure the unit is level and the door latch/switches are engaged when closed. Are your electrical supply wire nuts tight in the electrical box. Behind the toe kick panel is a tech. sheet which provides info. how to initiate a field service test. Please let us know if we can help further. Thank you. Read More...
Jim August 07, 2011 for Model Number KUDS25SH The child lock light continues to blink after serval attempts to remedy the problem. Press and hold energy saver dry button for 4 seconds, 15 seconds, 90 seconds. Turned power off for more than an hour and tried all the above with no luck. I have read reccomendations that the Electronic Control Assembly panel will need replaced. Any other suggestions before I go this route?
1 Answer Hi Jim. What is the last 3- letters so we can assist you further? It sounds like you will need a control panel. Thank you. Read More...
Bruce July 15, 2011 for Model Number GU980SCGQ2 How do I determine which part is the problem between the Electronic Control Assembly AP3175633 and the Control Panel Assembly AP3136031. It seems to be variable but only the China cycle starts and the Cancel does not work. Is it possible to repair the Control Panel Assembly if that is the problem? Thanks Bruce
1 Answer Hi Bruce. You need to check the ribbon cable going from the control panel to the control board. With all the symptoms you have described if you isolate between the 2 and use an ohm meter on the ribbon cable to press the command and see if you have ohms. I would change the control panel part # is WP8051710. This is for white. Thank you. Read More...
Gerry S. July 05, 2011 for Model Number du943pwkq0 Whirlpool Dishwasher. There are five cycle buttons. The second and fifth (from the Left) work. Inconsistently! Normal wash does not work. Also slamming the door seems to help.
1 Answer Hello Gerry. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the console 8274731 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Shaun April 30, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool DP920PFGy4 Dishwasher HI, I just purchased a Whirlpool DP920PFGY4 dishwasher used. The machine cycles fine and works wonderful except that ONLY the Heavy Cycle button and Pots and Pans cycle buttons work. The cancel button does nothing when pushed as well as the other buttons don't work. I took the panel off to see the circuit board and it's loaded with what appears to be rust or some sort of rusty colored flakes that look a lot like the inside of a cigarette. I disconnected the terminals and put them back together and wiped away what I could. Then attempted to press buttons and see if I got a response. The rinse only button now works and the Heavy cycle and pots and pans cycles still work great but the other buttons do nothing when pushed. MY QUESTION IS... Do you believe that purchasing the circuit board control will solve the problem or do you believe that the problem possibly lies in the actual buttons themselves? I have heard of this problem being very common. I notice on your site and other sites that you can purchase the circuit board only and then there are sites selling the entire "control Panel" but I'm wondering does that entire control panel complete with the physical front plate with buttons have the circuit board with it or is that to be purchased separately? Lastly, what do you think my best solution should be that would solve this problem. Thank you for listening and your help. I apologize for my long winded email. Thank you for your expedited response. Sincerely, Shaun Bayles Long time Whirlpool customer.
1 Answer Hello Shaun! The control panel WP8051702 does not include the control board WP8530929. From the description provided, you will need to change out the control panel only. Thanks. Read More...
Paul M. April 24, 2011 for Model Number 665.15784300 I believe that the cause of the low pressure to the sprayer arms may be due to the motor not reversing during the wash cycle. Would this be caused by the Electronic control assembly AP3175633, or is there some other solenoid that could be an issue. The drain cycle works fine and the motor is not loud or making any tell-tail signs of fatigue. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Paul. You will need to check the impeller WP8274950 and make sure it is good, and the water level inside the tub. If the impeller is bad, you will need to change the seal kit 675703 as well. If the impeller is good, make sure the water is up to the bottom of the heater. If the water is low, you will need to replace the valve W10844024. The board does control the directions of the motor. Hope this helps. Read More...
