Pete October 17, 2022 for Model Number 665.13122K703 Kenmore/whirlpool I would like to check the voltage going to the washing pump with the dishwasher in place so that I can actually run the cycle. Is that possible? If not, how does one check the voltage going to the pump with the dishwasher taken out? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Pete, access to the wiring connection at the wash motor is usually difficult as it tends to be in the rear of the motor assembly. the dishwasher came with a Tech Sheet located under/behind the lower front grill listing the voltages and specs, usually you can uninstall the dishwasher and slide it just far enough to access this area assuming the fill/drain hoses and power line are long enough.

Alek August 08, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool GU3600XTVB1 Dishwasher will pump in and pump out water, but arms will not spin and does not clean dishes. checked and clean filters. It will release detergent, but no action from cleaning arms. what would be next thing to check?
1 Answer Alek, Probably the diverter motor has lost position and closed off water flow to all spray arms. W10155344 Read More...
Aaron April 23, 2020 for Model Number kude60fvpa2 Our unit is not functioning properly during the wash cycle so no dishes are being washed. Would appreciate your help. The cycle starts as normal and water flows into the base of the unit. Once the dishwasher reaches the point in the cycle where it should spray water, no water is sprayed inside the machine. The unit makes a faint sound that sounds like it is trying to start doing something, but nothing happens. We opened the door of the unit and depressed the trigger in the door to watch while attempting to run the cycle and there was no water spray visible at all. As the cycle continues, the water drains normally. We are trying to determine what is the most likely cause of this issue. Thanks in advance for your help.
1 Answer Aaron, Based on the information provided the wash motor sounds as if it is not functioning or is not getting power to it to function. Check for power to the wash motor during the wash cycle and if there is power to the motor and it is not running then it would need to be replaced. Read More...
Joe March 21, 2020 for Model Number 66513193K902 Saw your answer to another question about testing if motor is getting 120V. I'm trying to determine if motor or control board is at fault for main pump not operating while diverter motor works fine. The wiring diagram on service technician sheet for this model shows P1 and P2 eventually connecting to line neutral (P1 is through motor relay on control board), while 120V line voltage should be on P3. P3 is fed from spliced connection from motor fuse, with the other splice supplying diverter motor. The motor fuse is supplied from pilot relay on control board and ultimately from line voltage. I don't understand why you indicated that testing across P1 and P2 should show power, unless the pins are labeled differently on different models. I see 120V on P3 (and diverter works) and not on P1 and P2. Seems like my motor is getting power correctly from P3 and therefore the motor is at fault - is that correct interpretation? Or could it still be bad motor relay on board? Or the motor communication/data coming from board?
1 Answer Joe, Unfortunately, we do not have access to the wiring diagram for this unit but if you were to test at the motor and see if there is 120 Vac getting to it. If there is power to the motor and the motor is not running then the issue will be a faulty motor. Read More...
Bryan January 21, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 66513193K902 dishwasher Can I just buy the circulation motor as I have already replaced my drain pump?
1 Answer Bryan, unfortunately, the manufacturer only lists the circulation motor as part of the motor and sump assembly WPW10056309. Read More...
Mark January 07, 2018 for Model Number GU2800XTVQ3 My Whirlpool Quiet Partner V dishwasher will not drain. Low humming sound. Here is what I've done so far: 1) cleaned out bottom of dishwasher-no debris 2) cleaned out filter-very little lint 3) disconnected and blew out all hoses, including at garbage disposal 4) RESET board. It's still making the same sound and not draining. Pump motor? One other note, our cold water line in the kitchen AND the hot water line to the dishwasher froze last week. They weren't bad. We ran warm air over them and they thawed pretty quickly. Everything ran normal for the past week.
1 Answer Mark, You will want to test to see if there is 120 vac getting to the drain pump. If there is power to the pump then the pump would be faulty. Read More...
Softband October 10, 2017 for Model Number 66513122K703 Trying to check if pump is getting 120V but need to understand the wiring. Start dishwasher and fills with water but nothing happens (no blinking lights). Hear a couple clicks like a relay. Hit cancel and it drains. Trying to determine if the pump is getting 120 or not.
1 Answer Test the blue/white wire off P1 on the motor and the white/violet on P2 of the motor. If there is power there, then the board is good. 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...
Jimmy January 07, 2017 for Model Number 665.13129k703 In lieu of ordering the wash pump assembly, are the wash pump and motor available separately?
Kitchenaid Owner September 17, 2015 for Model Number kude70fvss3 Just replaced motor and sump. However side of motor on new part (AP4427801) (on image 2, left side )has some small plug closing a port that isn't being used. This isn't tight and seems to be leaking. How should this plug be sealed to prevent leaks? Thanks.
Dave September 17, 2014 for Model Number gu3600xtvb2 Whirlpool dishwasher model #GU3600XTVB2 fills up then makes a low rhythmic humming noise. That's as far as it goes. Checked all connections on board and underneath. Ran the self disgnostics with error codes and looks like the code is 6.1. When we cancel the cycle, dishwasher will drain. Disconnected the pump and motor and cleaned the connections and it worked for one cycle and now continues to fill up then quits. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Dave, This sounds like the circulation pump WPW10056309 is the issue. You can test the diverter from the load side of the fuse (long wire side) to test pad at P12-6 on control (normal resistance 1300-1600 O). Read More...
