Robert September 12, 2019 I have a GE Profile dishwasher. The sump was leaking. I replaced that. Now the water won't drain out at the end of the cycle.
1 Answer Hello Robert, You should double-check the wiring to ensure all connections are connected properly. For a more detailed diagnosis, we would need you to please post a new question including the model number from the units' I.D. tag so we can look at the specific model you have in your home. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Mark September 01, 2019 for Model Number MDB8959SBS3 Our Maytag dishwasher will not shut off, it will run for hours unless you open the door and the lights on the control panel blink when it is running. Sometimes if you push cancel it wont cancel
1 Answer Hello Mark, the control panel lights should not be blinking while the dishwasher is running a cycle, which usually indicates a faulty keypad assembly which can also affect the cycle times, the control panel assembly/keypad is part WPW10475780. , Read More...
Francisco August 06, 2019 for Model Number GU2800XTVY0 Hello, I own a Whirlpool Quietpartner V Dishwasher and I'm Getting the sanitize led light blinking at the end of the cycle when I select sani-rinse and heated dry options, the reason I believe is the temperature not reaching the preset value, the dishwasher will not dry the dishes and they do not end up as clean as they used to eventually the dishwasher will end up smelling very badly, the hoses and lines seem to be working just fine, but I've come to notice that the temperature is the main issue. I've tested the Heating element, the High temp limit thermostat, and they seem to be ok, I've also changed the turbidity sensor as my model has a thermistor built-in in this part, however, the problem persists and I do not know how to test the Turbidity sensor itself to see if I got a faulty part, or maybe it could be the mainboard? After I run diagnostics everything seems to be ok, no fault reading on the LEDs. I also changed the mainboard trying to find a solution. thanks.
1 Answer Francisco, to test the thermistor in the soil sensor, it would be tested from the main control at connection P15 pin 3 to P15 pin 1 and it should read between 48-52 ohms at room temperature. However, beings as the main control and turbidity sensor have been changed out, the issue would more likely be with the heating element W10518394 or a wire. The entire heating circuit can be tested from connection P9 to P3 and it should read between 10-30 ohms. If there is not a resistance reading, then there is a break in the circuit that would need to be traced. If the resistance reads out of the tolerance range, then the heater would be the issue.

Bill June 09, 2019 for Model Number 66514043K015 Kenmore elite touch panel stays on after cycle complete, my initial thought was to replace C board but I remembered other whirlpool units with buttons staying on after cycle to indicate error codes, cannot find error codes or a sequence to reset unit. Could it be as simple as water too cold? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bill, This sounds like the touch pad circuits are failing or shorting. It does not indicate a fault code.Control panel/touchpad is part W10327472. Read More...
Walter May 27, 2019 for Model Number KDTE334DBLO Kitchen Aid Unit not draining. Main pump motor seems to be operating. Drain Pump motor shows continuity, but there are three contacts. What is the correct test procedure? The drain pump impeller is in good shape and the shaft is clear of all trash. Does the turbidity sensor effect the drain pumps operation cycle? Y/N How do I test the turbidity sensor? Where can I get all the testing procedures / trouble shooting info for this unit?
1 Answer Hello Walter , The TechSheet for your dishwasher actually comes with the dishwasher, located behind the front toe panel.It has all the service testing as well as the drain motor and turbidity checks , . No, the turbidity sensor does not control drain motor operation. Start by running the test mode first for any fault codes. Read More...
Rob April 02, 2019 for Model Number WDT710PAYM4 My dishes do not wash all the way as it does not keep the water heated on the wash cycle and the dishes do not dry. I have changed the heating element already same thing. My hot water line coming in is fine. Just one day this started happening. Any thoughts on what it would be next?
1 Answer Rob, you may want to test the turbidity sensor WPW10705575 as it is responsible for sensing the water temperature. If you disconnect power from the dishwasher, you can test the turbidity sensor at connection P12 of the control board. From pin 1 to pin 3, you should get a resistance reading between 46 to 52 KOhms. If the resistance is not within this range, then you will need to replace the sensor. If the sensor tests good, and the high limit thermostat WP661566 tests for continuity, then the main control [W10597041] would be the most likely cause. Read More...
Danny Lynn March 18, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool/ kitchen aid dishwasher does the turbidity sensor on the whirlpool dishwashers also check the temperature? in other words, can it affect the operation of the heating element ? Thanks so much!
1 Answer Danny Lynn, unless your model has a thermister incorporated into the turbidity sensor, no, it will not effect the temperature. Most senors are looking at the water to determine how clean or dirty the water is. This is how the dishwasher determines how long to run. Read More...
Mike March 12, 2019 for Model Number GU2475XTVY2 Hi there 1st time Dishwasher fills with water sprays, then drains all the water out, drain pump continues after water is empty. After that It does not fill water up again but I hear the pump motor going. If I cancel the cycle and start again it will not fill with water at the beginning. I have changed out the control board with no effect. I tried cleaning the turbidity sensor still no change any thoughts on what to try next? Dishwasher model whirlpool GU2475XTVY2 Thank you Mike
1 Answer Mike, You will want to check the float on this unit because if the units motor is running it thinks it is filled with water. The motor should not run if the water has not filled. Read More...
Steve March 12, 2019 for Model Number WDF520PADW3 My Whirlpool dishwasher starts to run by filling with water and then draining and then filling again. Then it does nothing much else for the rest of the 2 - 3 hours before it indicates that it is finished. Of course, nothing is clean. I have replaced the control board and the water inlet valve. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Steve, You would want to test to see if there is 120 vac getting to the wash motor. If there is proper voltage then check to make sure there is nothing in the pump. If not then this would be a faulty wash motor. Read More...
Keith February 24, 2019 for Model Number MDB7749AWB2 I have a maytag dishwasher mdb7749awb2 that is driving me insane ... we have replaced the control panel, control board, high limit thermostat, and several times the thermal fuse and wires ... any ideas why the thermal fuse would keep overheating and/or going bad? I really hate to give up on this dishwasher as we really like it when it's working properly and it still looks brand new ... but I'm getting very frustrated ... thanks for any advice
1 Answer Keith, Check to make sure that there is enough water coming into the unit which should be just below the heater. If there is not enough water then check for a water valve that is clogged or faulty. Read More...
