Jeff May 23, 2020 for Model Number MDB7949SDH0 Water is leaking periodically from the overflow float penetration in the bottom of the dishwasher on the right front. I already replaced the float switch. It doesn't leak every time we run the dishwasher. The dishwasher seems to run and clean the dishes just fine. Could the fill valve be the problem by over filling the tub? Is there a way to test the valve? Thank you.
1 Answer Jeff, You can only test power going to the valve. For this issue, check to see if there are broken or damaged spray arms, if the spray arms are good then this will be a faulty water valve. Read More...
Jim October 17, 2019 for Model Number KUDS30IXSS6 I had water leaking from door corners, ordered a new door seal from you guys, still have leaks (not the door seal) during the wash cycle from below door and dripping from overflow. I have tracked the problem to a high water fill level. The overflow switch doing its job and I timed the fill cycle at 2 minutes and 25 seconds and that is correct, the overflow switch kicks in and shuts it off early. The water level is at least .5 inches over the heating element and the inlet valve does shut off tight. It seems that the fill rate is too high, I am on a well at 40-60 psi. Does the inlet fill valve have a flow control in it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the fast service on the door seal.
1 Answer Hello Jim, This is normally caused by a water valve WPW10327249 that closes too slowly. This is either caused by low water pressure to the valve or a failing water inlet valve. If the water pressure at the valve is actually 40 to 60 PSI, the issue will be the water valve. Read More...
Joseph October 28, 2018 for Model Number Kemore dishwasher When dishwasher is turned to wash mode there is no water coming out of the arms to fill the tub.
1 Answer Joseph, Without a model number, it is difficult to help you but open the door and see if there's water in the tub. If it is filling then more than likely the cause is the wash pump motor. Read More...
Scott September 19, 2017 for Model Number WDT710PAYM3 my dishwasher fills with water then nothing happens. at the end of the cycle it drains. The motor never starts to wash and the arms do not turn. I ran diagnostics and returned 5-2, 6-2, 6-2. How could this be showing a water inlet valve problem and if so how is that preventing the wash motor and arms from engaging?
1 Answer Hello Scott, you'll want to check for power at the motor W11133712 when it should be washing. Unplug motor connection and test each wire to chassis ground for 120v, if no voltage is present you'll need to replace board part number W10479763. Thanks! Read More...
Tony July 28, 2017 for Model Number wdf760sadb0 The machine starts to fill up but stops after about 30 seconds. If the water starts to go in could the fill valve still be bad.
1 Answer Hello Tony. It could be if the unit is not filling fast enough. The valve may not be opening all the way. Also check for a bad float switch on the unit as well. If all is good, then the board is all that is left. Read More...
John December 17, 2016 for Model Number kuds30ixss8 My dishwasher started making a high pitched squeal. It seems to coincide with water going into the unit. Is this water inlet filter likely the cause?
1 Answer Hello John, A high pitched squeal is normally the indication of something contacting a pump impeller. The pump that runs during the water fill is the circulation pump WPW10757217. You should open the unit and check for debris and many times the debris can be removed without replacing any parts. The determining factor is if the impeller has been damaged or not. Read More...
Flaco October 27, 2016 for Model Number wdt720padm1 whirlpool diswasher Dishes are wet at the top but not at the bottom.
1 Answer Flaco, With the dishes on the top of the unit getting wet but not the bottom rack then the issue will most likely be caused by the diverter motor which is part number W10537869. Read More...
Michael C. September 19, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool WDF750SAYBO Arms will not spin. Some what going in but will not engage the spinner arms.
1 Answer Michael, The fill valve is a very good possibility. Here's a quick easy check to make. Start the dishwasher in the regular cycle, let the machine fill and wash for 5 minutes. Unlatch the door, wait a second or so, open the door and remove the lower rack. Look at the water level in the bottom of the tub. The water level should cover the filter plate by 1/2 inch deep. You can also look at the lower spray arm support, the water level should cover about 1/3 of the lower spray arm support. If not, theres not enough water in the tub and pump to pressurize and operate the spray arms properly. Read More...
W E Raasch February 16, 2016 for Model Number KUDS30IXBT1 Washer when started will not fill. The drain pump will start and empty the washer and continue running. I have removed the overflow sensor and it function tested sat. I removed the fill valve and applied 12v AC directly to the valve on the bench and it hummed and opened, power remove closed. The valve makes no noise when the washer is started. After depressing the cancel and the machine cycling off, in approx. 5-10 minute it restarts and the drain motor will hum until the breaker is opened. Would this be the controller or the drain pump?
1 Answer W E Raasch, The issue with the unit would most likely be a faulty control board. The control board is sending power to the drain pump and control board would need to be replaced. Read More...
Paul January 06, 2015 for Model Number WDF750SAYB1 VALVE-INLT-DISHWASHER model # WDF750SAYB1 the wire leading to the valve was severed from the plastic connector. After a makeshift connection, still no water so I bought the VALVE-INLT, but it did not come with the male connector (where the wires attach then inserted) I returned it. MY QUESTION: Does your part # W10327249 comes complete with the male insert? If not, what are my options?
1 Answer Paul, The connector that goes into the water valve would be part of the wire harness. The male part is part of the harness WPW10612062. Read More...
