Murray June 26, 2013 for Model Number gu3200xtpbo Hi .clean light flashes 7x then waits 2 seconds and repeats , thanks, Murray
1 Answer Murray, This issue will be caused by a failure in the heating circuit. You will want to test the heater, the thermistor and wiring from the heater to the control board. If all this checks ok then replace the control board. Read More...
Doug May 03, 2013 for Model Number kuds01flbl6 My dishwasher was washing when all of a sudden I could smell a strong electrical smell and smoke began to come out the side of the unit. I opened up the door and all the indicator lights were off and the bottom still had water in it. I then turned off the toggle switch on the wall that supplies power to the dishwasher. What do you think is was the cause?
1 Answer Hello Doug. You will need to open the unit and see if you see any damaged boards WP8564543 WP8270168 or wiring on the unit. Usually when components fail, it causes the issue you are having with the unit. Read More...
Joe April 28, 2013 for Model Number kuds01flss3 I purchased a pump/sump/motor assembly. It was slightly difficult to repair by myself but was able to get the sump gasket to seal and reset the 3 nylon clips. However, now the drain gasket leaks. It is a black O-ring and it appears to be sloppy, does not fit up tight behind the impeller back plate. It produces a steady drip. I took it off to clean it up and lubricate prior to reinstalling the second time. It doesn't appear that it can be purchased without buying the complete pump...which is not necessary. Is the O-ring an off the shelf item? What other ideas are there to solve the situation. Thx
1 Answer Hello Joe. Check with your local hardware store for just the o-ring. It is not available separately from the manufacture. Read More...
Tony M March 02, 2013 for Model Number 665169000 How do you take off pump from inside the tub or under the tub?
1 Answer Tony, The pump would be removed from the bottom of the tub. You could pull the complete sump out from inside and change the pump but getting the sump back in can be daunting getting it lined up properly and getting clips back in place. Read More...

Walter October 24, 2012 for Model Number GU2500xtpq My dishwasher leaks when filling. It also leaks when I dump water into the dishwasher. I think it is the gasket around the motor/ pump inside the box. Is that fixable and what would I need?
Paul B October 09, 2012 for Model Number Sears 66516493300 Dishwasher cycle will not complete and therefore not drain. Drain hose appears to be clear to the garburator. How do I determine that it is the pump motor and not something else. I have tried the cancel button and closed the door to see if it would drain but no success. Is there a test sequence that I should follow. Do I need to reset the controller and if so what is the code. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Paul. Remove the hose from the pump and see if the water comes out there. If so, it is the hose. If not, test for power to the pump during drain. if power is there, and does not pump, replace the drain pump WP661658 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tom August 19, 2012 for Model Number Gu1200XTLS1200 What size "o" ring is used on the drain pump? The "o" ring I have currently seems worn out and will not seal. Thanks for the help!
1 Answer Hello Tom, The "O" ring isn't available without ordering the drain pump assembly WP661658. The manufacturer doesn't provide anyone access to this information. Read More...
Sandra June 24, 2012 for Model Number 665.17512200 kenmore ultra wash Dishwasher wont drain. Took off hose and it is not plugged. I didn't know there was a flap in the hose at the end where it connects to the disposal and I thought something was in it so I pushed something down it. It still seems to work when I blew air through it. I took apart the accumulator and the check valve is okay. I can hear it running when I do cancel to drain the water but none comes out. Should I look to see if something is stuck in the drain pump or what do I do next? The dishwasher was working fine mostly, occasionally it would leave a little bit of water in it and then I would hit cancel and it would drain. Then it started leaking and so we took apart all of this stuff to see where it was leaking but come to find out it was leaking because it had a crack in the bottom of the dishwasher because of some burned plastic. We fixed that with some plumbers epoxy but now it wont drain at all. I did take the wires off the start capacitor but I thought I put them back on the same way I took them off. What should I check now?
1 Answer Hello Sandra, This is probably a broken chopper blade shaft W10083957V causing the screen to stop up and preventing the unit from draining. Read More...
Shane D April 29, 2012 Not draining, I removed the dishwasher and found that the hose was clogged. Replaced hose and started dishwasher and it drained. However we have noticed that sometimes the water is left in the bottom of the dishwasher. What we really noticed is that when I poured coffee ground in the sink it clogged the main drain to the sink and the water would flow back into the dishwasher. What do I need to order to stop this from happing again?
1 Answer Hello Shane. You will need to check and see if the check valve WP8268375 that is located in the sump is working properly. It should prevent water from coming back into the dishwasher. Also, the drain hose needs to be raised up on the dishwasher to create an air gap on the drain hose line. If the unit is not draining properly, you will need to check and see if the drain pump WP661658 is bad on the unit. Read More...
