Lonnie November 25, 2012 for Model Number 665.13883k800 my dish washer will not drain, I removed the hose to check for clogs and nothing, basket and filter are clean too, while the hose was removed at the drain pump, i ran a drain cycle and just a very little amount of water came out, the drain moter sounds like it is turning but not sure, what next?
1 Answer Lonnie, You'll need to remove the drain pump WPW10348269, and check for a clog or debris in the drain chamber of the sump assembly, and check the vanes on the impeller, they could be damaged and not moving the drain water. Read More...
Chris November 07, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Dishwasher 66513733K601 Had Sears service come in due to loud noise when operating DW, said the motor is shot (due to hard water?) Said I needed new motor & pump to the tune of $385. Is this an easy repair? Do you know of any manuals? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Chris. The motor is not an easy repair, but can be done by some customers. Kenmore does not offer any manuals to provide to you to help you. Sorry. Read More...
Chris November 02, 2012 for Model Number KUDKO3ITBL2 It fills just fine. when filling is finished,all I hear is a hum from the motor/pump area. What"s wrong?
1 Answer Chris, It could be as simple as something stuck in the impeller 8193951A or chopper assembly W10083957V It could also be a failed motor WPW10757217, but check for a "jammed" impeller first. Read More...
Brett October 24, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Elite, Model 665-13423K701 My dishwaher will not drain following a wash. The problem has been intermittent for the past couple weeks, getting worse now. I pulled what I believe to be the drain pump, 8565839, and the shaft rotates freely, but catches every 180 degrees of rotation. Is that normal, or should it spin with no resistance.
1 Answer Hi. Disconnect the drain hose under the sink. Use a screwdriver in the sink connection to see if it is clogged there. Or if there is a vacumm break on the sink open it there as well to make sure the hoses are not clogged there. Make sure the drain hose has a looped section mounted as far up under the sink to form a p-trap and make sure the rest is connected taut down towards the sink connection as well. Disconnect the drain hose at the pump and look for stuck debris. Remove the lower track aqdn the top of the motor/sump top filters. Clean all traps, impeller and the chopper blade. Replace the chopper blade if damaged causing your issue. Make sure the drain pump has resistance and each terminal is not shorted againdst the motor laminations. The motor terminals have to be tight connected. The armature has physical resistance that oposses each spin naturally just as long as the armature does not drag or is water logged. If so replace the pump part # WPW10348269. Thank You. Read More...
Mike M. October 22, 2012 for Model Number 665.13152k701 Water is draining out of the washer continuously. If I manually pour water into the basin it just drains out. Is there a drain solenoid that may be stuck open?
1 Answer Hello Mike, If you read the installation instructions, it explains in there to elevate the drain line to counter top level. The purpose of this is to prevent sink water from filling the dishwasher. The other point it makes is the necessity of an air break or siphon break. This prevents the weight of the water going down the drain from pulling the water from the unit. Most dishwashers are drained into the sink drain because this provides an air break to prevent the siphoning effect from taking place. When a dishwasher has a valve, it is only to prevent the circulation pump from pushing the water from the unit during water distribution inside the unit during the wash cycle. Read More...
Doug July 03, 2012 for Model Number GU2600xtpt3 Our dishwasher draines fine but over a period of 2-3 days the bottom fills with gray water. is there a valve that stops drain water from seeping back into the unit? Or is it a bad pump?
1 Answer Hello Doug. The model number you provided, does use a check valve WP8268375. However, most of the time when something like this happens, it is due to the plumbing in the home is clogged and causing the issues. If the check valve is still there and looks good, the plumbing is the issue with the unit. Read More...
Joe June 25, 2012 for Model Number GU2800XTVY0 Hi, I bought a new drain pump because water was not draining. After installing new drain pump, most the water is removed. There is still some in the bottom of the dishwasher. If I push the drain cycle then all the water will be reomoved. What would cause it to not completely drainduring the normal wash? The pump seems to work fine if you cycle it.
1 Answer Joe you'll need to check the drain hose and drain system for a kink or clog. First ry disconnecting the drain hose from the disposal or drain pipe and drain the dishwasher into a large buccket( 5 gallon bucket works best) that should remove any debris in the hose. then check the disposal or hose connection on the pipe. I'm sure you've removed the filter and checked under it ( in the sump) for any debris, etc. Thanks Read More...
Rich January 30, 2012 for Model Number kudp021rwh2 The drain pump is it screwed in or do you twist it out? thank you

Mike December 20, 2011 My dishwasher has been blowing the bimetal fuse which i replaced a couple of times now. It worked for a week the blew again. It stops all the time at the end during the drain cycle. I checked the ohms on the drain pump and it reads 23-25ohms and diagram says it should be 16.8. Could this be causing the fuse to blow? All other reading checked out ok.
1 Answer Hello Mike. Have you changed the wires with the fuse? If not, this is the problem and not the pump. However, if the wires have been changed and the pump WPW10348269 reads high in ohms, you may need to replace the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
