Tim November 22, 2015 for Model Number MDB4630AWW5 Directions on how to change a Maytag dishwasher solenoid for the inlet valve.
1 Answer Tim, In order to replace the water valve of the unit you will need to remove the kickplate. On the left side of the unit is where the water valve will be located. You will want to turn the water supply off and using a wrench take the water line loose from the valve. There will then be a screw holding the valve in place. Remove the screw and the valve. Disconnect the wires and transfer the elbow from the old valve onto the new valve. Reinstall in reverse. Read More...
John October 25, 2014 for Model Number maytag Water slow leaks from top arm and fills dishwasher. When water is turned off leaks stop. Can this be a bad water inlet valve? Are they repairable or cleanable?
1 Answer John, This issue would be caused by a faulty water valve. The water valve is not repairable but can be replaced. Read More...
Mark July 13, 2014 for Model Number DU6000xr1 The part in the photo has electrical connections. The water valve in my machine has NO ELECTRICAL connections. Is this the right part? No water is flowing through the valve. I have taken it apart and cleaned it. Water going in, and not going out. Mark
1 Answer Hello Mark. You water valve has to have electrical connections or it will not work. Power energizes the solenoid on the valve and allows the water to flow through the valve. You need to look for some wires unplugged under the unit that attaches to the water valve. Read More...
Chad June 28, 2011 for Model Number 66515781 My dishwasher hadn't been used in awhile and won't drain, it cycles but finishes with water un the bottom. I've checked the drain house and it isn't kinked or blocked. There is no obvious blockage inside the machine. What do you suggest?
1 Answer Hello Chad. You will need to test and see if there is power going to the drain pump when the unit is in the drain cycle. If so, and the pump is not draining the machine, you may have a bad drain pump. The model number you provided is not working properly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Toni E. March 27, 2011 for Model Number GU1500XTKQ0 Ordered part from you and got it fine, but now I need to know how to install it. The part was missing when I bought the dishwasher (he took it off to put on the onestainless steel model they got), so I'm not sure how to hook it up. Where can I see a diagram so I can get this installed ASAP. They are putting my new countertops on Tuesday and I would like to have this done by then. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Toni. These are located in the bottom of the dishwasher. There will be a fill hose that attaches to the valve and a wiring harness that will attach as well. You should have some mounting screws on the frame of the machine to mount the valve with. They are usually located on the left side toward the front of the machine. Hope this helps. Read More...
Lester S March 12, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 665. 1696581 I have an old Kenmore with this inlet valve (#AP3050333). Machine is working but was leaking from the white plastic valve body behind the gold plate/cover that connects the black electric switch/relay to it. I removed, disassembled, cleaned and reinstalled the assembly. Now the machine turns on but does not let water in. I did turn the water supply valve on and checked that the float in machine is not stuck in up position. Any ideas would be appreciated...Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Lester. Sounds like the valve is bad. When you take these apart they can do this. Hope this helps. Read More...
