James S November 09, 2016 for Model Number DU1055XTSD2 I have a Whirlpool Quite Partner 1 Dishwasher it just shut off and has no power to the front board everything has no power what is the cause
1 Answer James you will want to check for power at the supply to make sure that there is 120 vac getting to it. If this checks ok then check the control board to see if there is power, if there is power then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
Dave November 03, 2016 for Model Number MDB7749AWB1 All of my buttons on the Control Panel work except the Start button. The Thermal Fuse checks good. How can I determine if its the Control Panel or the Control Board?
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to check and make sure the door switches are good in the unit. If so, then you will need to replace the control panel W10811148. 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...
Brian September 04, 2016 for Model Number KUDS02FRSS1 Clean light is blinking 'BLUE'. Been washing fine until today. Noticed it had stopped at some point in the cycle.
1 Answer Brian, If the clean light flashes 7 times in sequence then this would be a heating circuit issue and you will need to check the heating element, thermal fuse, the wiring to the control board and the control board. Test the element and thermal fuse for continuity. if there is continuity they are good. If they check ok then check the wiring between the heater and the control board, if it checks ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
Stephen T. May 08, 2016 for Model Number 665.13483K902 kenmore The wires for the thermal fuse are smoking and melting and the fuse itself has continuity..What can I check to locate the source of this problem? Thanks,
1 Answer Stephen, First check the wiring connections at the junction box on the front frame of the dishwasher. Make sure the connections are good and tight, and no discoloration to the wires. Then check the wires and connections at the heater element terminals. Then get access or use of a multi meter and check the voltage of the dishwasher while it's running. insure the voltage remains above 110 VAC. Replace the thermal fuse kit and make sure you follow the instructions and make good solid connections. Read More...
Michael March 16, 2016 for Model Number GU3600XTRY1 When trying to start the dishwasher, the lights appear on the control panel but when hitting the start button nothing happens. Sometimes it starts sometimes it doesn't.

Gary March 10, 2016 for Model Number GU2275XTVY3 The D/W stopped working after completing a cycle. I removed the board and found that the ribbon cable appeared to be damaged where the board cover touches it. I reassembled the unit and tried it anyway. It ran one complete cycle. Now it is't working again. I have power to only some of the control buttons. I assume it is the ribbon cable but it doesn't seem to be replaceable without changing the control strip. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your assistance
1 Answer Hello Gary. You will need to order and replace part number WPW10175238 on the unit. Read More...
Chris December 19, 2015 for Model Number MDB7759AWB3 I'm not getting any power to the touch display at the top of the door. I removed the controller board and it looks burnt around P8 and P9 terminals. I'm wondering if this is an issue with the connector or the board itself. I'm wanting to purchase a new controller but am not sure that is the sole problem. I checked the power into the junction box at the bottom of the unit and it seems fine. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Chris
1 Answer Chris, Your post indicates several possibilities that will need to be checked/tested. First check and make sure the electrical connections in the junction box are proper, including the ground wire, also make sure the connections are good and tight. At the control panel, check the thermal fuse W10258275 for a "closed" circuit with a meter, it'll probably have an "open" circuit and needs to be replaced. The P9 connector on the control board is the heater circuit so you will need to check the element WPW10082892 to see if it is damaged or broken, check the hi limit thermostat WP661566 for a closed circuit at room temperature and check all the wires that attach to the element and thermostat. Once the repairs are made, start the dishwasher and let it fill and run a few minutes(4 or 5 mins.) then stop the machine open the door and check the water level in the bottom of the tub. Make sure the water level is at least above the top of the wash pump accumulator and as high as the bottom of the heater element. Read More...
Jean-Francois October 14, 2015 for Model Number GU3200XTVY3 Hi Do somebody know what is the temperature limit of the thermal fuse? What is the temperature at which the switch will open? Thank you
1 Answer Jean-Francois, The hi limit thermostats for your unit would open between 171 to 181 degrees Fahrenheit. Read More...
Paul H October 05, 2015 for Model Number Kitchen Aid KUDS50FVSS Dishwasher The power went out on my dishwasher in July 2015. The signs were consistent with a thermal fuse issue so I purchased one off this site and it fixed the issue. Yesterday the same thing happened and again it appears to be the thermal fuse. My question is what can be the issue that keeps blowing out the thermal fuse. Is there any other procedure to be put in place to help solve this issue. Thanks in advance. Paul H.
1 Answer Paul, If the unit is loosing power during the cycle then you will want to check the power supply connection in the junction box under the unit. The other thing that you will want to check is the wash motor to make sure that there is not a high amperage draw. Read More...
Danny September 11, 2015 for Model Number Mdb7809awb2 Heater element burned out, Replaced it but dishes still do not dry. Could it be thermal fuse or high temp breaker?
1 Answer Hello Danny. Test the thermal cut out WP661566. If it is good, you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
