It will go through all of the other cycle functions normally, but you will obviously have dirty dishes at the end of the cycle. Because there is no feedback circuit - the control board is still sending the voltage down, and 'thinks' that the wash motor is running. The motor has a weak/poor internal connection, and is not running when it is under a load(i.e. Especially in the cases where the dishwasher fills, soap dispenser opens, etc.įor whatever reason - Whirlpool did not include any type of motor feedback circuit on these models. Beware - the parts are tiny! I used tweezers to mess with it.ĭon't go with the control board on this! It seems like that is what it should be, but in most cases - replacing the wash motor is actually the answer. This allowed the start button to function. I replaced the little copper disk with one from a button I know we wouldn't use (was "top rack wash" only) and left that button not working. The shape acts as a spring so if the little copper disk (under the start button) wears out or flattens out it will NOT work and the error code indicates a "stuck" button. There is a tiny copper disk that is shaped like a concave lens. So I pulled the control panel on my dw apart - there are little buttons on those boards - how they work is kind of annoying. Found error codes to indicate a stuck button (should've done that first) So I ordered what I thought was the touch panel - it was just the plastic parts and not the 2 little computer boards underneath. I found online that the most common issue is the door latch - it was $17 plus shipping and tax - replaced it - still broke. My dishwasher would not start, the buttons all seemed to work except the start button. So, some aspects of the "wash" cycle are working, I guess.Īll panel lights are working and displaying on top. Funny but not, I broke the breaker switch flipping it too many times, so I had to replace that today.-īy the way, it opens the soap tab after 5 or 10 minutes, even if it's not running/washing. This last time I tried to cut breaker, however, was unsuccessful, and now it won't get past that first stage (which I always have to hit cancel to drain the water, which luckily still works every time). Other times, it never gets past this initial intro stage.Ī few times in the past, I had success at cutting the power at the breaker, and then it tended to work perfectly for a handful of times afterwards before it would start acting up again. Sometimes, it will start and stop various times (I suppose, continuing on through consecutive stages, but I can't be sure what it's actually doing because it rarely ends with clean dishes) across many hours. My dishwasher stops running after it brings hot water in at the very beginning.
