Troy February 15, 2017 for Model Number WDF530PAYB3 Replaced heating element and sensor, water still will not heat up or dry dishes. What would be the next step?
Tom January 31, 2017 for Model Number WDP350PAAW1 It does not seem to heat up + we have water standing on dishes when cycle is complete. We have replaced the heating element, and checked out the control panel and all 4 relays work, so we ran again and still have standing water on dishes. What is the next step to check. Is it possible it is the thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Tom. You will need to check and see if the high limit thermostat WP661566 is bad and will need to be replaced. 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...
Troy November 19, 2016 for Model Number WDF530PAYB3 I have replaced the heating element in my washer and double checked to assure there was current running through it. However the sanitize light still blinks and the element still will not heat up. What is next?
1 Answer Troy, The Sanitized light blinking would be caused by an issue with one of the following issues: 1.Door opened during final rinse or dry. 2. Incoming water too cold. 3. Heating problem 4. Thermistor/OWI sensor problem. 5. Intermittent door switch/ latch connection. 6.Diverter problem prevented water from heating in final rinse (plastic tub models only). 7. Line voltage too low to heat fast and .enough. 8.Air pressure surges in dishwasher due to washing with high suds causes brief opening of door switch contacts during final rinse. In some of these you will need to refer to the tech sheet to check the service error codes table. Read More...
Edward October 31, 2016 for Model Number wdt790slymi After completion of the rinse cycle, the water didn't drain. After the wash cycle and when manually drained. the dishwasher drains properly. Also,after completion of the rinse rinse cycle, I can hear the pump running for about 1 minute, but the water is not being pumped out of the dishwasher. What is the possible fix?
1 Answer Hello Edward. If it works sometimes and sometimes it does not, it sounds like the control board is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Leigh October 13, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool Dishwasher Model WDF750SAYM3 I purchased this Dishwasher 1.5 years ago. The washer will wash, but the heating elements will not heat to dry or heat water. What do I need to do to fix this problem?
1 Answer Hello Leigh. You will need to test and make sure the heating element is good on the unit. If so, then test the high limit. If both the element and the high limit are good, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Eddie W. October 10, 2016 for Model Number DU1145XTPB9 Whirlpool quiet Partner II I have a Feb 2007 Whirlpool; it came with the house. It powers up fine-when I fill it and you hit drain, it drains rapidly and sounds like a normal operating dishwasher. It will not start up with the base full and ready to go; it makes a faint whirring or humming noise and acts like it is trying to start the big pump and start washing! I tried plugging and unplugging. I removed the sprayer , basket and cleaned out the grinder trough. It makes no smell. It just acts stalled. Any thoughts or things to check? Thank you Ed
1 Answer Eddie, Based on the checks that have been made, the most likely cause will be a motor that is faulty. Read More...
Johanna February 11, 2016 for Model Number 665.13033k114 The heat element is not coming on in my dishwasher during the wash or the dry. I have replaced the element and the high limit thermostat, no luck. My question is: what does W10134017 do? Is it a turbidity sensor? A water temperature sensor? Both? Could this be stopping my heating element from coming on?
1 Answer Johanna, This sensor WPW10705575 is a turbidity sensor and does have a Thermistor in it. You can test the thermistor from the control board on the P12 connector pins 1 to Pin 3. The resistance at 77 degrees would be 46K to 52K ohms at 77 degrees. Read More...
Richard G November 19, 2015 for Model Number MDB7749AWW1 The washer runs all the way through sometimes. Most of the time if will trip the bimetal fuse in the control area and shutdown. After about 10 min it will come back on and if I press the start button it will finish about half the time. Sometimes it takes two or three restarts to finish.
1 Answer Hello Richard. Make sure all the wiring is good on the unit. If so, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Brad October 31, 2015 for Model Number wdf510paysa The unit is not draining at all even when I hit the cancel and drain button. Drain hose is not blocked. I have cleaned the filter and checked for blockage. I don't see a check valve and not sure this model has one. Once I manually drained the machine, I disconnected the drain pump and pushed the drain/cancel button and the impeller does spin on the pump. Can the pump motor just be weak without enough torque to pump the water, but still spin in air?
1 Answer Hello Brad, The check valve on this unit is in the drain hose WPW10545278. If it is not stuck you should check for clogs in the drain line. If connected to a disposer make sure the "knock out" has been removed. If nothing is located, the drain pump could be the issue if 120Vac is present during drain. Read More...
Steffan C October 30, 2015 for Model Number 665-13843 K601 I have a Kenmore Dishwasher. When I run the dishwasher, it cleans fine but I am always left with standing water on the bottom. I then hit Cancel/Drain once or twice to drain the water. To try and diagnose the myself, I completed the following. Tighten all the screws on the door. Removed and cleaned the filter, checked and cleaned impeller, Removed the drain hose, raised the drain hose higher to the bottom of counter. I watched the water drain with considerable force into my sink, so there is no blockage. I cleaned and removed the check valve. I cleaned the float. Ran diagnostics by hitting heat dry, normal, Heat dry & Normal. it cycles through and seems fine. I though it may have been the Optical Water Indicator, but that only senses dirt in the water and not the water level. Is there a sensor for determining water level? Is it a control board Issue? What am I missing?
1 Answer Steffan, You will want to check to make sure that the check valve on the drain is in place and not allowing water to come back into the unit. If the check valve is good then it is most likely not running through the drain long enough which would be a control board issue. Read More...
