John W July 07, 2014 for Model Number sears kenmore 665.15798791 I have near 0 continuity between the two prongs. actually (1200 ohms) is the part (8283346 ) defective ?
1 Answer John, The resistance of the fill valve solenoid should be between 695 and 995 ohms of resistance and if you got 1200 then it is out of range and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike March 18, 2014 for Model Number KUDY24SE Is this problem likely the water inlet valve? Wash cycle works fine with water filling to correct level. When the rinse cycle starts, most of the time now little to no water comes in. I open the door and verify the float valve is down all the way and moves freely. If I cancel and just start the rinse cycle, it works fine as long as I wait awhile for it to cool down. Can't tell if its an intermittent valve or control panel heat issue. What voltage measurements would I expect to get if I monitor the valve?
1 Answer Hello Mike, The water valve is operated on 120Vac. The water valve W10844024 is the most likely the issue. Read More...
David R. April 20, 2013 for Model Number kuds25se Serial fh0405948 No water is coming in. I dumped some water into the machine. It seemed to work as usual.
1 Answer Hello David, The first thing you should do is check that nothing has fallen out of the rack and got under the float switch. If an item holds this float up, it will never energize the water valve. This unit has a pressure switch so you will need to verify that the hose to the pressure switch is not clogged with food particles and/or debris. If it is clear, you will need to verify the water to the unit has not been inadvertently turned off under the sink. You should also test the pressure switch 3380871 for being closed electrically with no pressure applied to it. If these all test good, you will need to replace the water valve W10844024. Read More...
Lonny G March 31, 2013 for Model Number DU840SWPQ I replaced the door seal and water is still running out the bottom of the door. What can I do next to stop the water?
1 Answer Lonny, You will want to check for clogged or broken spray arms that are causing the water to spray at a different angle and can cause the unit to push water out of the door. Read More...
Shorty February 17, 2013 for Model Number 665.15701891 Kenmore model 665.15701891 does not fill with water. Tried several of the short cycles but no luck. removed covers tapped on water supply valve during a short cycles got soem water but not enough to fill. Checked the overflow float and it is functioning, moves up and down easily. Is it the water supply valve??
1 Answer Hello Shorty, If the water valve is getting power and no water is flowing into unit then the water valve is defective and needs to be replaced. Also check the float switch to make sure that it is good. Do a continuity test on it. When depressed it should have continuity. When up should not. Read More...
Joe February 02, 2013 for Model Number DU850SWPB0 My dishwasher was manufactured in 2005 but never installed (don't ask, I bought it new), I just hooked it up and as soon as I turn on the water, it starts leaking at the water inlet valve and allowing water into the tub. What could be wrong? I'm guessing it needs a new valve but, could there be anything else I should look at?
1 Answer Hello Joe, If the water comes into unit when you turn on water supply, this would indicate a bad water valve or the unit was in on position. Read More...
Viennaslim January 13, 2013 for Model Number KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDC25CHSSO When the dishwasher is turned on, I hear the water filling, but no water reaches the inside of the chamber, except for a little sprinkle around the strainer at the bottom. I do hear the pump come on and run. when I cancel the cycle, water is pumped out into the disposal as usual. the float is moving freely. no leaks. What might be the problem? The pump or the fill valve? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Viennaslim, As long as there is sufficient water pressure to the water valve, the water valve W10844024 has failed and will require replacement to restore a proper water fill level. Read More...
Tj H June 28, 2012 for Model Number kenmore 665 series 15759000 Water comes into the dishwasher when the dishwasher is turned off, and when the petcock going to it is turned on so I have to turn the water off at the petcock. Do you think I need to replace the water inlet valve or what?
1 Answer Hello TJ. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve W10844024 is bad and needs to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Matt W. June 17, 2012 for Model Number Quiet Partner 1 Can the fill valve open too far? The fitting on the left side runs water out of the air gap when filling. Almost like there needs to be an orifice or something to slow the flow down.
1 Answer Hello Matt. Check and make sure the water pressure coming to the unit is not over 110 PSI. If the pressure is good, and the overflow is over flowing, you need to check and see if any clogs or kinks are present. If not, replace the water valve W10844024 on the unit. Read More...
Matt February 27, 2012 for Model Number gu940scgb3 I had a problem w/my dishwasher. It would run, but wouldn't fill w/water. I replaced the inlet valve, but was in a hurry and forgot to look at how the electrical connector went. Which wire goes with what post? There is a black/white and a black, but not sure which goes where. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Matt. The wires can be connected on either terminal of the water valve W10844024. Hope this helps. Read More...
