Roger November 21, 2011 for Model Number maytag DWU7300 When the dishwasher is started , the water inlet valve shatters and is noisy. Is my problem the inlet valve solenoid? How hard is it to change out?
1 Answer Hello Roger. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve is bad and will need to be replaced. The water valve WP99001359 is not hard to replace on the dishwasher. You will remove the toe panel to access and replace the part. Hope this helps. Read More...
Terry October 01, 2011 for Model Number mdb9100awb My dishwasher does not fill. Water supply is good, filters are clean, float is not stuck. Voltage at the switch is 101v. Is it possible that this is a control panel problem or is it the fill valve?
1 Answer Hi Terry. The water valve should get 120vac to opn and fill, not 101 vac. Is there any wires chewed on from the bottom that causes a voltage drop. Is the valve coils ohmming out @ 35-70 ohms? Is the inlet water screen plugged? If You have low voltage at the board output, then back up and see if your door switches supply the board 120vac. Door latch is part # 99002254. Water valve is part # WP99001359. Water valve float switch is part # WP99002560. Thank you. Read More...
Tom May 12, 2011 for Model Number MDB7100AWW When the wash cycle is complete, there is a tub full of water. When I run the drain cycle it takes the water out then immediately starts filling it again (ugh!!). If I leave the door open it is fine. So the redneck solution has been but a dish cloth in the door to keep it from refilling. Could this be the inlet valve being bad? Thanks for your help!! Tom
1 Answer Hello Tom! If the water that is filling in the tub is clean water, it will be a valve WP99001359 issue. If it is dirty water filling the tub, it will be some sort of plumbing issue where the water is backing up back into the dishwasher. Since the problem only occurs with the door closed you will need to check the valve using a volt meter MA-DM1. Check to see if you are getting 120V to the valve with the door closed and the unit off, if you are, then you will have a problem elsewhere. Hope this information helps! Thanks. Read More...
Dave April 30, 2011 for Model Number MDB4000AWB Hi, I am troubleshooting a dishwasher. No water is the symptome. I have verified the float switch, and bought a new water solenoid. I am still not getting water. I am thinking i might have the solenoid wired wrong. There is NO marking on the solenoid. Is there any color coding diagram available?? Thanks Dave
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to test and see if the water valve is getting power at the start of the cycle. If not, then the float switch WP99002560 is bad or the timer 12001533 is bad. If there is power coming to the float switch, but not to the valve, the switch is bad. If there is no power at the float switch, you will need to replace the timer. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. 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...
Michael April 20, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MDB7130AWS I have a Maytag built-in dishwasher that is about 8 years old. After the entire cycle has completed, we open the door only to find that the dishes do not appear to be rinsed. The soap dispenser is open but some of the soap is on or running down the door. I also took the dishwasher's lower wash arm apart down to the pump filter and cleaned out some left over food residue. Also checked that the float was clear and working. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to check the float switch and make sure it is moving freely up and down. Check the switch as well and make sure it reads correctly. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. 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 If it is working properly, then you will need to check and see what the water level is inside the dishwasher. It should fill near the bottom of the heating element. If it is low, you may need to replace the water valve. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tom March 11, 2011 for Model Number PDB1600AWN My sister has a Maytag Dishwasher Model PDB1600AWN. She says when she tries to run it, it is not getting ANY water. She says it sounds like it is running but no water. I'm wondering if you think this is a bad water valve, or do you know of something else this could be?
1 Answer Hello Tom. Check and make sure the float is not stuck in the up position. This can cause the dishwasher to think it's full, and will not bring any water in. If the float checks out ok, then replace the valve. Hope this helps. Read More...
