Cmiper October 15, 2011 for Model Number DU948PWKQ1 We have water leaking through above the float switch where the float and washer assembly are. The switch is working, but water comes in once the tub is full and the cycle starts. There doesn't appear to be too much water, I am wondering if it's possible that the float assembly washer could be the cause? Also, you mention that the washer should be below with the nut, isn't the washer supposed to be in the cap of the float assembly?
1 Answer Hi Cmiper. The float assy. as shown in the picture part # WP3376397, is assembled with the washer just on the backside of the nut. Its also there to stop the stem from coming back into the tub. Over soaping can cause suds to overflow out onto the top of the switch. Thank You. Read More...
Mark September 23, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool dp940pwpq0 dishwasher If my float is working accurately in this unit, what can I expect the depth of the water to be inside the tub. I'm wondering if my unit is overfilling because I have a door leak at the bottom on both sides around the hinges. I've replaced both deflectors and the door seal and cleaned out the air vent and still is leaking. By trial and elimination, what else could it be?
1 Answer Hi Mark. The fill should be around to just hitting the bottom of the heater. Make absolutely sure that the unit is level from front to back and side to side still w/ all four legs tight on the ground. The float stem needs to be on top of the float switch so it can go up and down properly. Thank you Read More...
Ebizsearch1 June 26, 2011 for Model Number DU8700xy-1 How do I adjust the water level. I have to add extra water during all fililngs. Is the float the problem?
1 Answer Hi Ebizsearch1. There is a float assembly that is approx. 2-1/2" in diameter, usually on the right front of your tub. This lifts up and down along with the amount of water in the tub. On the bottom of the dishwasher is the float -switch. The float stem has to always be in direct contact with the switch in order for the switch can open or close depending on the float "measurement". The switch controls the fill amount by letting 120vac to go to the water valve, controlling the water valve solenoid coils to be energized. I suspect that by your question, that the water valve is ok. I would focus on the float switch part # [3369067]. The float assembly part # is WP3376397. As the float lifts up, it will shut off the water. Thank - you. Read More...
Stan S. April 10, 2011 for Model Number DU945PWPQ0 My whirlpool dishwasher leaks from the bottom of the door, it is only a few years old. We have had no other problems other than that.
1 Answer Hello Stan. Check and see if there is suds inside the dishwasher, while it's running. If there is to much soap or rinse aid, it can cause the dishwasher to leak. If there is no suds, you will need to check the door seal WPW10509257 and see if it's bad and leaking. Hope this helps. Read More...
