Jim November 23, 2014 for Model Number gu1100xtlq1 My whirlpool dishwasher does not clean my dishes. Water fills the washer just above the element and I can hear the pump. The soap tray opens but it seems the pressure to the bottom sprayer is low and water does not reach the top sprayer. Could it be the pump?
1 Answer Hello Jim. It sounds like the circulation motor WPW10757217 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Make sure the filters and spray arms are clean. If so, replace the pump. Read More...
Nick September 29, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool Dishwasher GU1200 After a normal cycle and dishes are removed, a few hours later there is water in the dishwasher. I turned off the water supply to the dishwasher and that does the job. It seems as if it would be some type shut off valve. Thanks, Nick
1 Answer Hello Nick, You will need to replace the water inlet valve WP8531669 if the water pressure to the unit is sufficient. Read More...
David July 31, 2013 for Model Number 665.17489300 My dishwasher is leaking water. Usually happens in the morning and it has not been running all night. Is this a valve problem?
1 Answer David, If the unit is leaking and the tub is filled with water then the most likely cause would be the water valve allowing water to enter the unit. Read More...
Jennifer June 08, 2013 for Model Number KUDP01ILBT2 Dishwasher is very loud at start of cycle when filling. Does this mean the fill valve is bad? Please advise. Thank you.
1 Answer Jennifer, Based on the post information, Yes, you most likely have an issue in the water valve WP8531669. When you replace the valve, you also want to "flush" the water supply line for 30 to 60 seconds, to clear any accumulated debris in the pipes. Read More...
Seth December 21, 2012 for Model Number GU2400XTPS6 Does not rinse.See soap bubbles at the bottom at the end of the whole cycle.What could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Seth, You may want to check your drain to make sure that the drain is clear and check pump for obstructions. Also you should start a cycle without anything in the unit and no detergent to see if bubbles are appearing. If this is the case you can use a little veggie oil or salt in the cycle to disperse suds. The unit may need to be run through a couple of cycles to cleanse system of excess build up of detergent. You may also need to reduce the amount of detergent being used. Read More...
Frank November 15, 2012 for Model Number kuds01flwh2 Water will not fill machine. Runs through cycle with no other problems.
1 Answer Hello Frank, To check the unit for normal operation: 1. Check that the overflow protection float is free to move "up" and "down" Check that the overfill switch in opening and closing properly electrically and mechanically. 2. Check for continuity between the contacts on the fill valve. 3. Check for 120VAC between P8 and P2-3. If further assistance is needed, please let us know. Read More...
Karen S. July 08, 2012 for Model Number DP1040XTXQ0 The water is not completely being emptied. If I have a clog how do I find it ? Could there be another reason? The cycle is complete, machine will not drain ?
1 Answer Hi Karen. Use a bucket and remove the drain hose connected under the sink. Use a screwdriver and check the sink drain for clogs. Also check the hose end for clogs. Make sure the drain hose is looped and mounted hi on the back wall under the sink. It creates a p-trap so the sink water does not drain back into the unit. Remove the drain hose at the pump and see if the flapper is ripped in bad repair that acts as a check valve part # WP8268375. If the pump impeller is spinning loose on the pump shaft needs replaced with pump part # WPW10348269. Then if you have not yet found the issue, Remove the racks and the top of the sump pump assy. Quickly you will get to the chopper blade. Clean this area and free the blade to macerate waste food/debris. If it needs replaced the chopper assy. is part # W10083957V. Thank You. Read More...
