Mike March 14, 2019 for Model Number GU2475XTVY2 Good Morning My Dishwasher on adaptive and normal wash, fills with water, sprays the water on the 2nd round of spraying it drains the water while spinning, once that is done it does nothing i'm assuming it should be filling up with water again, and then the sounds like it runs the pump/spray motor with the dishwasher empty (at this point i manually added hot water) goes through it's cycle, after draining it fills with water automatically, again does 1 cycle stops for a few sec's starts spraying again while draining it's water. stops again thinking this is where it would fill up with clean water again starts trying to rinse with no water in the basin (Manually added water at this point) then the rinse cycle went for over an hour before i shut it off. I changed the control board on the advise of a technician nothing changed. My Dishwasher model is GU2475XTVY2 Any advise will be greatly appreciated, sorry for the long explanation Mike
1 Answer Mike, The float and shaft will be a good place to start, but check the area around the float and the bottom of the tub for small objects or debris that could be interfering with the rise and fall of the float. Next check the float switch and lever and make sure everything under the tub/behind the kickplate is properly aligned and activating properly. Lastly, if all's OK, you'll need to check the wiring and connections from the control board to the float switch and from the switch to the fill valve. Read More...
Ray February 12, 2018 for Model Number KUDIO1TJBLO I need to make sure my dishwasher isn't putting to much water into the washer. Can someone tell me how high the water should be? Just touching the heating elements, above the heating elements, or below the heating elements? Please give me some type of reference to go by. If your answer is x amount in inches, please tell me where you took that measurement from. Thank you for your time.
1 Answer Ray, The water should fill on the dishwasher to just below the heating element without touching the element. Read More...
Chris November 16, 2014 for Model Number kuds01flss2 Our dishwasher has been leaking for some time. Just found it after hardwood floor started coming up a seams. It seems that water leaks from area where float is located. Not every wash cycle but most. Usually happens towards middle of cycle (not in beginning. A similar question was answered referring to the standpipe, not sure what that has to do with float. Totally different location so I don't think its that. Do I need to replace the float assembly? Something else? Thanks in advance. Chris
1 Answer Chris, The first thing to be looking at would be the spray arms. If the spray arms are cracked or clogged it can cause improper spray and cause a rippling effect of the water which could come out through the float. Also check the float for water getting inside of it which would cause the unit to overfill. Read More...
Barry September 02, 2014 for Model Number 665.13852K602 My dishwasher completes the task of washing the dishes but there is standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher when I open it up. I will then close the door and press the (Cancel , Drain) button and the washer will then empty out the rest of the water. If it only drains some of the water I will press it a second time and then it is always completely empty of water. I don't know what part is not functioning correctly. Evidently it stops the draining cycle to soon. What would be your professional opinion as to why it is only partially draining at first but then completely drains after I press the drain button a couple of more times?
1 Answer Hello Barry. Look for clogs. If none is found, you will need to replace the drain pump on the unit. Read More...
James June 24, 2014 for Model Number KUD530IVSSE3 Is the retainer supposed to come off the shaft of the float, or is it supposed to be permanently fixed to the bottom of the float shaft? Also, I have had a very large amount of water leak thru the stand pipe that the float sits in - has ruined the hardware flooring under the unit and I have no idea how long it has been leaking. It seems the unit fills OK but it is during the wash/rinse cycle that the leaking occurs right thru the float shaft pipe. Could this leak be explained at all by a malfunctioning microswitch? I assume the float activates the switch to turn the water off during filling. Does the fact that the water does in fact stop filling mean the microswitch and float are operating correctly? Thanks
1 Answer Hello James. The retainer is fixed. If broke, replace the float. If it is good, either the micro-switch is bad or the water valve is not shutting off quick enough. Read More...
Steve April 14, 2014 for Model Number KUDP01FLSS3 Not knowing any better, I pulled on the float and the bottom "retainer flange" broke off. I stuck the float back in the standpipe and ran a cycle assuming it would overflow but it did not. Is the purpose of the float to keep garbage out of the standpipe? Trying to decide if I need to buy a new assembly or let it ride.
1 Answer Hello Steve. You need to replace the float. It can come out with water movement and make a bad leak in the unit. Read More...
Randy January 28, 2014 for Model Number mdb4709pabo Hi, I get water leaking from under the float retainer, it doesn't happen all the time is their a gasket or o ring needing to be replaced
1 Answer Randy, No there are no O rings or gaskets involved in the water level standpipe assembly WPW10316267. Most leaks from this area are due to a water level or " wave action" from the spray arm, or over sudsing. You want to check and make sure the dishwasher is level in both directions( front to back and side to side) make sure the water level is correct in the bottom of the tub, start the dishwasher and allow it to run a few minutes(3-5), unlatch and open the door, remove the lower rack, the water level in the bottom of the tub, should be within 1/4 inch of the bottom of the heater element(lowest) and may partially submerge the element(highest). If all's OK, check the detergent and rinse agent for possible separation or sudsing due to the chemicals. Read More...
Jennifer D September 06, 2012 for Model Number 8268895 Float & retainer assembly I need detail directions with pictures if possible to install since no manual...I'm very visual if you can please assist..thank you
1 Answer Hello Jennifer. Sorry, but there is no pictures to provided. Here are the instructions. You may need to order a new float & retainer assembly AP3039159. Remove power to the dishwasher. You will need to remove the kickplate and lower access panel. You will find the switch assembly hanging by the wires, you will need to install the new assembly to the tub using the retainer nut. Insert the float into the guide and install the nut onto the float shaft. Attach the wiring. Read More...
Mike April 04, 2012 for Model Number KUDP01FLSS1 At times, the water does not turn completely off after the wash cycle. It continues to flow into the dishwasher at a reduced rate and accumulates in the lower basin and after a number of hours can overflow into the kitchen. I'm not sure what part might need replacement. The float & retainer assembly? This only occurs every 8 or 10 washing cycles.
1 Answer Hello Mike, There is no spring in the water valve to aid in it's closure. This means basically that if the water pressure is too low or a crimp in the water line that the water pressure has to bleed through, the water valve will be slow to close. If the water valve WP8531669 is failing it may not close at all. Read More...
