Ronnie June 23, 2014 My dishwasher will not fill, I read your other comments about checking the float , where would that be located?
1 Answer Hello Ronnie. The float is located inside the dishwasher tub assembly in the bottom of the unit. You will need to remove the lower rack to access and check the float. Read More...
Doug September 02, 2013 for Model Number 66517731791 My dishwasher will not fill with water. I can put water in with a bucket and it will run through the cycle until it gets to the point it flushes the water out for recycle. In other words the internal pump is working fine but no water comes in from the faucet. My guess is the/a solinoid is not opening to let water enter the unit. What say you?
1 Answer Hello Doug. Check and see if the float is stuck up in the unit. If not, then check the float switch. If it is good, replace the water valve on the unit. 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...
Red S. March 02, 2013 for Model Number DP8500XXN2 What is causing my dishwasher to drain during wash and rinse cycles? It does drain properly at the end of the cycles. I have already replaced the impeller pump assembly.
1 Answer Hello Red, Of course, You need to check that the drain line is suspended up to counter top height before connecting to the sink drain. If it goes down through the floor, it has to have a siphon break installed to operate properly. This pump also has a check ball that can either stick because of food residue or mis-assembly. If you have not had the unit torn down to this point, the use of dishwasher magic TJ104 or white vinegar should be used to cleanse the internal parts for the check balls sake. If these things check out okay, it is most likely a stuck set of contacts in the timer 3370249. Read More...
Mike October 04, 2012 for Model Number 665 1765593 My portable dishwasher will not fill with water. I used a volt meter to test if power is coming to the water valve, but no power registered when I manually ran thru the cycles with the machine plugged in. I put an ohm meter on the float switch contacts and when I pushed down on the switch lever I had continuity so I think the switch is ok. I am out of ideas, can you please help? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Mike. Check the wires and make sure they are good on the unit. If so, and no power comes to the water valve, you have a bad timer on the unit. The timer has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Read More...
Guest March 13, 2011 Hi. Does this valve work on an electric signal to open and close, cause I dont think mine is working right? If I move the connection, you can sometimes get it to fill.
1 Answer Hello. Yes, it recieves power from the timer/board on the dishwasher. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1 to see if there is power coming to the valve. Hope this helps. Read More...
Chris February 17, 2011 My dishwasher fills constantly on or off I'm assuming that the fill valve has seized up am I correct in assuming this? Thank you for your time.
1 Answer Hello Chris! If you cut the power off to the unit and the water continues to flow in, you have a bad water valve. Thanks! Read More...
