Solution |
|
| Dishwasher will not complete a cycle. |
- Check the timer for proper operation
- Check timer switch leads to timer motor
- Compare timer with sequence chart on wiring diagram
- Make sure all leads to the timer are secure and tight
- Some models have a thermostat. Check to make sure it is in contact
with the tub.
| |
| Dishwasher will not drain. |
- Check for hose kinks or food plugging drain hose.
- Check pump impeller for damage
- Check pump motor for reversing during the pump out
- Check timer
- If you have recently installed a new garbage disposal, check
knock-out plug at connection.
| |
| Dishwasher will not fill with water |
- Check float switch or float.
- Check the timer to make sure the contacts are closed for water
fill valve. Look at wiring diagram for contact numbers
- Check the water supply tube for blockage.
- Check water supply valve. There should be 110 volts to the coil.
- Water valves have screens in them that sometimes will plug with
sand. Either clean or replace the screen filter.
| |
| Dishwasher will not get the dishes clean. |
- Check pump recirculation.
- Check the screen in the water fill valve.
- Check the spray arm for splits or leaks.
- Check the water pressure or manual valve.
- Check the water temperature. Should be 135 to 160 F.
- Check to make sure dishwasher is draining after each cycle. There
should only be a little water in the bottom of the tub.
- Check water level when the fill cycle has completed. Should be
barely touching, or just under the float.
- Make sure the dishes are loaded properly, or dishwasher is not
overloaded.
- Try a different detergent.
| |
| Dishwasher will not run at all. |
- Check connections from power cord to terminal block.
- Check door switch for action and continuity
- Check power at outlet. Should read 110 volts.
- Check the timer for power
| |
| Water leaks from the bottom of the dishwasher. |
- Check air gap for mineral deposits. This will cause the water to
spray out of the air inlet.
- Check for cracks in the tub.
- Check the float switch seal.
- Check the heater element where it enters the tub. There are
gaskets that sometimes leaks.
- Check the hose clamps.
- Check the hoses for leaks.
| |
| Water leaks from the door. |
- Check corner seals and bottom dam seal
- Check door seal
- Check for loose or bent door latch
- Check for over filling. This could be from flaot switch. The water
should never or barely reach float. The float switch is for
overflow.
- Check the spray arm for a split. If water sprays directly at the
bottom of door, it will create a leak.
