Arnold September 23, 2020 for Model Number DU920PFGB4 My dishwasher was leaking water onto floor. I did all of the typical repairs like new door gasket, removed inner door panel and cleaned the vent but it still leaked. I then replaced the float and float switch, still leaking. while I had the lower covers off, I started the machine and manually operated the float switch and I does work, stopping the water flow when activated. I noticed the float is not rising or is too heavy. Help!!!!!
1 Answer Arnold, it would be recommended that the float WP3376397 is removed to identify if the stem has warped. This will also allow for it to be inspected to identify if anything could be obstructing the movement. Read More...
Jim May 23, 2020 for Model Number 665.15839000 I recently purchased a dishwasher inlet water valve. when i received it and started to install it, i found that it was the wrong type for my washer model. my existing one has a flange on the tubing water inlet connection, not a standard hose connector. it will not work. my order number is 11589406. please send me the correct part or an adapter to connect my 3/8" plastic tubing compression fitting to the water hose male fitting on the inlet valve. thanks jim wa4kox@yahoo.com
1 Answer Jim, The manufacturer has redesigned the water valve and you will need to go to the hardware store and get the adapter that will work for this valve. Read More...
Kevin April 22, 2020 for Model Number kuds24sebl2 My dishwasher is only filling about half way for each fill during the dish wash cycle, not enough water to keep the pump primed and not pumping water through the spray arms. What stops the inflow of water to dishwasher on each cycle, the float valve, or timed inflow of water? Float valve moves up and down freely and you can here a switch noise when you move it up and down. Water does not reach float valve on a fill. My guess is a blocked inflow of water but wouldn't it just take longer to fill up to float?
1 Answer Kevin, the float switch is a safety device, to keep the dishwasher from overfilling. as long as it can move up and down freely, and you hear the switch "click", it's OK. The actual fill time is controlled through the timer or control board(in your case the initial fill is 2 minutes long) and the control will cycle into the wash portion whether there's enough water or not. At this point, you'll need to replace the water inlet valve, and check and flush the hot water supply line from the kitchen sink to the dishwasher. Read More...
Luke April 13, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore 66513593K600 The water only dribbles out of the hole in the tub. There is good pressure getting to the inlet valve. The inlet valve is brand new (pt# W10844024) and the hose connecting the valve to the tub is clear. I don't have a multimeter so I don't know how much voltage the valve is getting. What else could be causing the valve to only partially open?
1 Answer Luke, is there enough water going into the tub? Does it wash ok, The inlet valve operates off of 120 volts AC. You could have debris is the water line that is restricting water flow through the inlet valve. Read More...
Chris April 27, 2017 for Model Number DU920PWKQO I put in a new garbage disposal and forgot to punch out the plug for the dishwasher inlet. the dishwasher was used and water went every where.now it doesnt seem to pump the water out. is it possible that the back pressure blew a seal or burnt the pump?
1 Answer Chris, Under the circumstances the check valve assembly 675238 may have been damaged, but we wouldn't expect the pump motor or a seals to be damaged. When you remove the drain hose and check or replace the check valve, make sure there isn't any debris left in the drain hose. Read More...
Bob July 26, 2016 for Model Number DV900PWKQ0 Have a Whirlpool dish washer and when turned on it hums but no water. How do I know if the water inlet valve is bad? Also it's been out of service for about 2 years so do I have to worry about leaks from the seals?
1 Answer Hello Bob. Make sure the water is turned on. If so, test for power to the valve. If there, and there is no water, you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Kent November 29, 2015 for Model Number kitchenaid kuds24sei.h3 Our dishwasher is not filing with water, but seems to be running otherwise. The original valve appears to look the same as this one, but the blue valve body on this replacement part is a little longer on the outlet side than the original. The original is 60HZ 10W. On the mounting bracket it says 9743559. Is this the right replacement valve?
1 Answer Hello Kent, The manufacturers' recommended replacement part for this valve is W10844024 so you are correct. Read More...
Wes October 24, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Dishwasher Mod. DU980GPDQ3 Dishwasher does not fill with water. I have 49 volts to the water inlet valve. Is this the correct voltage?
1 Answer Wes, No, 49 VAC is not the correct voltage. You should have 120 VAC across the brown and brown/white wires at the inlet valve. First check the red/black wire at the float switch for 120 VAC to chassis ground. Being an older dishwasher, your first check should be at the wire harness at the bottom of the door, where it transitions from the door to the bottom of the tub. The harness wires can weaken and break from the opening and closing of the door. Read More...
Brad April 20, 2015 for Model Number kuds25shblo Water floods out of front of dishwasher.... Ordered "from you", a new lower door seal & replaced, to no avail... Now I notice that their is several inches of water in the tub after filling. I would estimate it to be at least 4 gallons. When the wash cycle starts is when it pours out the most. The float is free, so I wonder if it is just filling too much, until the float stops it... Do I need a new inlet valve (timer)?
1 Answer Hello Brad. Test the float switch and see if it is good. If so, it sounds like you will need to replace the water valve if water continues to come in without power to the water valve. 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...
Ward September 24, 2014 for Model Number KUDM25SHWH1 We had a clear-weather power event here last night. No storms, but the power went out, back on for about 2 seconds, then out for 2.5 hours. This morning I started a load of dishes and noticed I didn't hear the water turn on when the cycle started. No matter which cycles I try, no incoming water. Nothing is holding the float switch up, so it should be calling for water. The valves are all on, and the the lights on the controls all light when pushed. I read on another post here that the valve operates on 110V, so I pulled the wires from the inlet valve, put a tester light on the power leads and when the cycle starts – no light. To test the valve itself, I made up a power cord, connected the leads to the inlet valve and when I started the cycle, plugged in the power cord and...water flows through the inlet valve. I let the entire cycle run this way, plugging the power cord in to open the valve at the right times, and unplugging it to avoid an overflow. I also noticed that the soap door didn't open when the main wash started, so had to do that manually. Seems that the electronics went bad? What other parts should I be looking at, or is it time for the repairman? The washer itself is 13 years old and never had a problem until now.
1 Answer Ward, It might just be a coincidence, but you will also need to check the P 9 (blue/black wire) from the control board. That wire supplies the 120 VAC power to both the fill valve and the detergent dispenser. If the wire isn't broken or damaged then replace the control board WP8530929. Read More...
