Marvin April 23, 2023 YOU SAID TO CHECK AND SEE IF THERE IS POWER TO THE INLET VALVE, I WATCHED THE VIDIO TO CHANGE THE VALVE AND SAW NO ELELCTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1 Answer Marvin, There is a water valve under the front of the unit that will have electrical connections to it and will need to be tested for 120 vac. Read More...
Glenn B August 28, 2022 for Model Number KDTE254ESS2 My dishwasher is not filing with water. I tested water pressure, it was fine. I replaced the inlet valve and cleared the supply line. I then determined water was getting to the inlet valve from the supply but it was not getting passed the inlet valve to the supply hose to the actual washing cavity. I disconnected the supply line to the tank while the machine was running and nothing was coming through the line. I then replaced the float switch, thinking that perhaps there was a default there. After replacing the float switch I still do not have water getting to the machine. What could the problem be? Is the only thing left the control board? I am resistant to buying a new control board to find out it will not repair the machine given their expense. At some point I just need to give in and buy a new machine. But if that is the last possible problem, I am willing to spend the money on the board. Please help. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Glenn B, The first thing to check is to see at the fill portion of the cycle if power is getting to the valve. If not then trace the wiring back to see if it is the control or a wiring issue. If you do have power to the valve and not water thru then the valve is defective. Read More...
Jim B Diy April 19, 2022 for Model Number MDB4949SDE2 Water not filling the Maytag (2015) dishwasher. Already replaced water inlet valve, replaced float switch, and now replaced door latch. Still not working. What else could it be??
1 Answer Jim, Check to see if there is power to the water valve and if there is not then check the wiring between the valve and the control board. If there is no damage to the wires then replace the control board. Read More...
Doug December 12, 2021 for Model Number WDT710PAYM6 I hear the dishwasher water moving/filling but it does not spin the water. The arms are not blocked and cannot figure out why there is no pressure. I did just replace the water inlet arm (as there was no water sound). Now water but no pressure? Any help/suggestions is appreciated. Thank you.
1 Answer Doug, if there is no debris in the sump assembly that could be blocking water flow and the circulation pump W11133712 receives proper voltage, the pump has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Nicholas Martino March 11, 2021 for Model Number KUDI02FRSS1 I am witnessing clean water at the bottom of my dishwasher. Initially I thought it was the drain of the food crusher and the P-trap that were clogged and that was not the case. I cleaned them anyway. When I kept on witnessing water still I decided to clean the filter at the bottom to be sure that nothing was obstructing the pump. Last night we did not use the dishwasher and this morning I found clean water at the bottom again. I have the feeling that water is entering the dishwasher for no reason. Could it be the inlet assembly even though I don’t know it’s purpose or the fill solenoid valve letting water in even when the unit is idle. Let me have your comments Thanks Nicholas
1 Answer Nicholas, This issue would be caused by a faulty water valve that is allowing water to seep in and the inlet valve would need to be replaced. The part number for the valve is WPW10158389. Read More...
Tab June 09, 2020 for Model Number KDTE104DSS0 My dishwasher keeps filling up with dirty water even when it's not in use. I have made sure I have a high loop on the drain hose and it is still happening. Is there a one way valve on the drain on these? Is it in the Inlet assembly? What do I need to repair this?
1 Answer Hello Tab, This unit has a check valve made in the 90° end of the drain hose WPW10545278. Read More...
Ben May 19, 2020 for Model Number MDB8969SDM2 Hi, similar question as others. Cabinets to the left side of my dishwasher are destroyed. Pulled out dishwasher and watched it run a full cycle no leaks. Part W10195536 had steam coming out of the holes on both sides. Is there a fix for this? Why would the square holes be there on each side to allow steam/condensation to escape and rot out cabinets?
1 Answer Hello Ben, the water inlet for the tub that is mounted on the left hand side has to have openings to prevent reverse siphon as per Plumbing Codes. Some steam may come out of the openings during the tub wash fill also for air equalization during wash with non vented doors such as your model has. The sound dampening blanket that wraps around the tub is draped down over that inlet port to absorb the moisture and allow it to dissipate slowly after the cycle finishes. this is usually not a problem unless the blanket is out of position, missing or torn, also can occur if the cabinet cut out for the dishwasher is a tight fit. If the blanket is damaged or missing it is part W10877094. Read More...
Cheryl December 11, 2019 for Model Number WDT720PADM2 We have water going into the dishwasher. We can go days and not have any water in the dishwasher and then we do. I believe it's being forced in from garbage disposal. We're thinking it could the inlet value? If we order the part before the plumber gets here and it is not the part that we need, is there a return fee?
1 Answer Hello Cheryl, If the water is coming in from the garbage disposal, this would be caused by a failing check valve in the drain line WPW10545278 of the dishwasher. If there is a water valve W11175771 issue, it can be caused by a variation of water pressure to the dishwasher since water pressure is the only thing that closes the water valve. If this is the case, replacing the water valve will not correct the issue unless there is a mineral deposit or sedimentation build-up inside the water valve assembly. Read More...
Jim D. September 17, 2019 for Model Number KDTE140DSS0 The dishwasher is not getting water. Replaced the water inlet valve. Pressure good. Water supply to valve good. You can hear the valve open for about 5 seconds then it stops with just a small amount of water getting into the dishwasher. I found the tech sheet and tried to invoke diagnostic codes the only thing I saw that may help was one white and one blue light flashing constantly. There is nothing on the tech sheet to say what that means? I am a licensed plumber with over 34 years experience, but I don't usually repair appliances unless it's for a friend so I could use some help with diagnosing the problem! Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jim, If your model number is actually KDTE104DSS0, the diagnostic cycle will tell you what the fault code is by which lights are illuminated. The color of the lights is not important. If you could please post a new question telling what lights are lit, we will be happy to assist you in your diagnosis. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
G Mail November 12, 2018 for Model Number kuds30ivbt3 Hello, I just discovered the inside of the cabinet on the left side of my Kitchenaid dishwasher is all destroyed. I pulled out the cabinet to discover the entire side of it is destroyed from the water inlet valve on the left side. Is steam escaping?
1 Answer G Mail, it is probably leaking at the fill tube or from the inlet valve. If you can pull it out far enough so that you can see it fill and operate, you should be able to see where it is leaking from. Read More...
