Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Solenoid (Part Number: OEM18029607)

Rob for Model Number DU4JV

We have had this dishwasher since new in 1993. Never any problems. Washed a load of dishes like normal and there was water in bottom of tub when unloaded. Siphoned water out and took apart spray arm and bottom cover. No apparent damage or excess debris visible. Verified drain hose clear and line to air gap and disposer both clear. Put back together and ran a rinse cycle. Noticed water draining during cycle to the disposer line. But did not drain during the final cycle having water in tub again. I know its a old machine but has been very good to us. Any ideas to a repair or just get a new machine. I see not many parts available. Solenoid maybe? Thanks for any info and ideas.

Hello Bill. Check and see if the float is stuck or if the float switch is bad. If not, then replace the water valve on the unit.

Alan,

This solenoid is a drain solenoid and not for the water to get up to the top of the unit. You would want to check the impeller to make sure that there is nothing clogged or caught that would cause no water flow or pressure. Make sure that you reassembled everything properly.

Hello Randy,

Yes, the plunger is supposed to come out of the solenoid. This is the way it is made and perfectly normal.

Karen, The return spring WP8181651 needs to be inserted into the smaller opening on the "D" shaft crank. and the other end of the spring will be inserted into the opening of the tab, on the top od the solenoid WP6-904023. Be careful not to overstretch the spring, the tension won't be correct, and could cause other issues with improper wash and drainage. Thanks

Hello Ron. If the solenoid WP6-904023 is not closing all the way, you will need to replace the solenoid on the unit. Hope this helps.
