Steve May 02, 2018 for Model Number WDT910SAYH3 Dishwasher will not run wash pump on Normal, Heavy or Sensor cycles. Unit starts cycle by draining, filling tub and briefly running wash pump. Then it pauses like it is waiting for the water to heat up and never runs the wash pump again for the rest of the cycle. The rest of the cycle functions still happen. The detergent door opens, the water drains and the drying cycle runs. If I run the Quick Wash cycle, everything works as it should. I had a 7-1 code, so I did all of the suggested diagnostic checks, which all checked out fine, so I replaced the Control Board which was the last action suggested by the troubleshooting guide. The unit still acts the same with the new control board. I have run through several diagnostic cycles. Occasionally, it will give me a 6-4 code for the float switch, but usually gives me no fault codes. I have been told that the issue is likely the electrical connection to the wash motor, but I can't understand how that would allow it to always work on quick wash cycle. Could I have a different sensor or switch failed that would allow the unit to function this way?
1 Answer Hello Steve, Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control board W10595569 is bad and will need to be replaced. Thanks. Read More...
Ben L April 24, 2018 for Model Number WDT790SAYM3 My dishwasher has no lights on it. I have checked the voltage and it is fine. I have checked the high temp switch and it tested fine. I assumed it was the board so I replaced it and still nothing. So I replaced the touch pad panel and still nothing it has power is there something else I need to check?
1 Answer Ben, Check the wiring of between the supply and the main board. This issue will be the most likely cause for the issue with the board and the control panel having been replaced. Read More...
Paul April 01, 2018 for Model Number Wdt790saym0 My whirlpool dishwasher will not fill with water but will drain fine. I’ve changed the water inlet valve and float switch so I’m at a lost of what it could be. What could it be?
1 Answer Hello Paul. Make sure the water is turned on and the wiring is good. If so, then you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Patricia March 21, 2018 The dishwasher element does not heat but was checked and it is okay. Could the turbidity sensor have anything to do with it?
1 Answer Hello Patricia. No, the thermostat and the control board will need to be checked in the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Mr Shaw February 14, 2018 for Model Number DW7933LRASR Samsung dishwasher---code drain error--drain has been checked & cleaned out PAST kitchen sink---check valve replaced---no help--- when cycle starts machine comes on water enters and about 30 seconds water begans draining from machine---I don't have garbage disposal --I can see the water being pumped out--it repeats this 2or3 times before shuting down--it seems like it doesn't get enough water to start the cycle--could this be the water sensor is bad? any help or advice would be appreciated!!!
1 Answer Hello Mr Shaw. If your getting the drain error you will need to check the drain pump, water level sensor, and main PBA. The case break DD94-01005A and the flow sensor DD94-01006A is a common issue for these error codes. 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...
Patricia February 12, 2018 for Model Number GU2300XTVB2 Whirpool Quiet partner 3. I usually run it on normal cycle. It seems to fill and drain properly (some standing water in where the food choppe/screen is). The bottom arm spins, the middle arm and top sprayer do not. I have taken everything apart, cleaned everything, although there really wasn't much debris. I am still getting particles of food/sediment on the items in the top rack mostly, some on the bottom. I know soap can be an issue, but we have a water softener and I will use dishwasher additives (lemishine) which helps, BUT it seems like the water is not circulating/filtering properly. I have had the machine for several years without problem, so this started a few months ago. Pumps? Sensors? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer Patricia, You will want to check the impeller on the unit as this will be the most likely cause for the issue with the unit. Also check to make sure that the check ball is in place properly. Read More...
Darren February 07, 2018 for Model Number WDT790SLYM2 My Whirlpool Gold series dishwasher will fill with water, but the washer motor won't start. It did work for one cycle after trying a few times, but after draining and refilling, it got stuck again and would not engage the wash cycle. Sometimes I can hear some clicking, but the motor does not start. A service tech said it may be the turbidity sensor and diverter. Does this sound right? Doesn't seem like these parts would cause this, but Just wanted some expert help. Thanks. PS - it does clean well if you can get the motor on.
1 Answer Darren, You will want to check the motor to see if there is 120 vac getting to it. If there is 120 vac then check to make sure that there is nothing caught in the wash motor and if there is not then this will be a faulty motor. If there is not 120 vac then this will be an issue with the main control board. Read More...
Tom February 05, 2018 for Model Number WDF760SADT2 On sensor wash our washer went from 2hr.33 min. to 3 hr. 41min. Dishes always came out clean, but what caused the wash time to jump up so much??? Dishes are not put in with hardly anything on them... Looked in the spot were the turbidity sensor is and it is CLEAN... We are on a septic system and the longer it is cleaning the more water is going into our system I take it... Is the turbidity sensor what tells the machine the length of time for the wash cycle??? The dishwasher is 2 years old... Thanks for your time... Tom G.
1 Answer Tom, The turbidity sensor would be the most likely cause for the extended wash times on the unit. The turbidity sensor part number will be WPW10705575. Read More...
Tim December 12, 2017 for Model Number MDB4949SDM0 Dishwasher is not generating enough force during wash cycles to spin the arms. Suspected that the circulation pump was the issue but changed it out from one I ordered from you and it didn't fix the issue. Could the turbidity sensor be the issue? The pump does come on and I can see water coming out of the arms but just not with enough pressure to spin them and clean dishes.
1 Answer Tim, The turbidity sensor senses the amount of debris in the wash water, it will extend or reduce the cycle time based on the input from the sensor to the control board. The more likely problem is a lack of water in the tub. Start the dishwasher on a regular cycle, allow the machine to fill and wash for 3 to 5 minutes, then unlatch the door. Remove the lower rack and measure the depth of the water in the center of the tub, it should be approximately 3/4 to 1 inch deep. If not replace the fill valve WPW10327249. We presume you've already checked the spray arms for hard water deposits and debris blocking the venturi holes in the spray arms. Read More...
Doug B December 11, 2017 for Model Number SHE44C06UC/47 Bosch dishwasher On the regular wash cycle sometimes it gets to the last 1 minute on the timer and will stay there for an hour or more and finally shut off and display the " sanitized" light or it will not sanitize and the dishes will not be dry but it will be very hot inside. When it does say sanitized they are dry. and then sometimes when it says 1 minute left on the display it will perform normally. I was thinking that it is either the control board or the turbity sensor?
1 Answer Doug, This issue would most likely be caused by a heating circuit issue which you would want to check the heater, the thermostat and wiring. If this checks ok then replace the control module. Read More...
