Barbara August 09, 2013 for Model Number 665 15919001 The quick rinse light flashes red on my control panel (randomly) when the door is latched and unlatched - the machine will not run. If I unplug and replug the ribbon to the electronic control it stops the flashing light and the machine will then run - which part would be causing this issue - the control panel or the electronic control ?
1 Answer Barbara, You'll want to start by checking or replacing the control panel / key pad assembly WP8269819. STUCK KEY: If the control detects that a key is stuck in the depressed position, dishwasher operation will be suspended and the control will flash the light for that key until the condition is corrected. If a key without a light is stuck or multiple keys are stuck, the control will flash the light for the Rinse Only/Quick Rinse key. Read More...
Trong July 14, 2013 for Model Number Matag MDB7609AWB1 No lights on the front push buttons. Power outlet has power. How do I know it is the door or the thermal fuse.? Is there a way to visually inspect/chech the door latch? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Trong. If there is power to the fuse, but not passing through it, you need to replace the fuse. 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...
Ana Maria June 02, 2013 for Model Number KUDP02CR The door does not close all the way, is like the latch is worn out. Could you tell me what is the part I need? Thanks
1 Answer Ana Maria, If the latch is the issue, you'll want to replace the door latch assembly 8193830, and the revised strike assembly WP8574157 on the tub frame. Read More...
Don May 31, 2013 for Model Number du1055xtvb1 I have a whirlpool dishwasher DU1055XTVB1. Went to start dishwasher today and none of the swithches work to turn it on. Worked fine the last time we used it. The door latch seems to move very freely. Could the door latch be bad?
1 Answer Hello Don. The door latch could prevent the unit from starting. However, if you check it and it is good, you will need to replace the control panel on the unit. Read More...
Seth May 16, 2013 for Model Number GU2400XTPS6 As recommended got a new door switch and replaced the old with new one but it did not solve my problem.Still see two dashes without any other action.Need further help pl. Seth
1 Answer Hello Seth. If both switches WP8269209 are new, then you need to check the wiring and aslo see if the latch is broke and needs to be replaced on the unit. The dashes are for the door is not closed error. Read More...
Melissa March 27, 2013 for Model Number gu2300xtvb1 I have had my whirlpool - Quiet Partner 3 for 1 year and 4 months( off warranty of course). I also had power outage for 3 hours. The dishwasher would never come back on. I tested main volt coming in. No issues it's 120. I'm trying to sort out the next step. No lights and no power. I have read several reviews to check. One I'm concerned about is the door latch switch, the one on the right tested 120v. The switch on the left was .1 no reading. should that part number 8269209 have the same 120 v current on the test? Do you think this is this issue? thanks
1 Answer Melissa, You will want to check on the control board for 120 vac between P2 and P6. If there is not 120vac then you want to do a continuity test on the thermal fuse. If the thermal fuse has no continuity then it needs to be replaced. If there is 120 vac to the control board then the control board is bad and needs to be replaced. When checking the door latch, the switch with black wires should have 120 vac and the switch with white should not have voltage as this is the neutral side. Read More...
Rich February 14, 2013 for Model Number 66516462300 i put new front panel on dish washer and it work great for about 5 times then it quit again they sent me a new panel this one does the same . I have current to the main switch but i think thats a far as it goes. no juice to door switch, should i just buy a new one? thanks rich
1 Answer Rich, If theres no 120 VAC to the door switch, you'd have an open thermal fuse 8193762,and or a broken or loose wire between the two components. If you have an "open" thermal fuse, it could be due to a voltage fluctuation in the power supply, a loose connection at the power connections in the junction box. or fault in the heater element or wiring there. You can check for 120 VAC at the door switch and the P2pin6 (blk/wht wire) at the control board to chassis ground. and you can check for 120 VAC at the Tan wire on the P8 terminal to chassis ground, with the door switch "activated". You'll also want to make sure your power supply and connections are properly polarized and grounded in the junction box. We don't see you needing "new one" over a loose or damaged "minor" component.

Gerry November 27, 2012 for Model Number GU1200XTLO2 I bought the dishwasher from a friend who had never used it, in fact it would not run. I found that there was no spring to pull down the T shaped actuator for the two door switches. Can you tell me the part number of the parts I need to buy to make the switches operate.
1 Answer Hello Gerry. There is no spring used in this latch. The strike WP8580309 presses the actuator WP8524471 down to activate the switches. The unit need to be installed level for this latch assembly to work properly. Read More...
Nathan November 27, 2012 for Model Number 665.16919 Hello, my dishwasher will not start. I have verified it is getting power, first indication was that the Air Dry, Sani Rinse, and Hi Temp Scrub buttons would light up when pressed. None of the Wash options (Pots and Pans, Normal wash, etc) will light up when pressed. I found the reset procedure online, and pressed the Air Dry and Hi Temp Scrub buttons back and forth 5x. At this point all the lights on the control panel lit up, and it went into the 2 minute diagnostic cycle as expected. When that completed, it was still the same as before, it would not start when I press the Start button. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Nathan. Based on the information you provided, the control panel is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Dave August 01, 2012 for Model Number KUDM01TJ Thanks for your answer over on the console assembly page. You recommended look at the switch, I took it off and the metal was in pieces. I touch the wires together and the machine starts! I will order a new switch, question is, how does it work? I don't see how anything would open the switch, its not attached to the moving part of the latch handle, only the plastic posts on the latch assembly. I am worried that I will not put the new one on correctly, so some knowledge would do me some good. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Dave. When the door is closed, the latch closes the switch WP8269209, to make the two wires come together and close the circuit. Read More...
