Dispenser no longer opened during wash cycle
Very straight forward. After removing the power source the dishwasher was pulled forward enough to access the the door hinge springs. Then the door could be removed and the inner skin separated to access the the dispenser mounting screws.
Door would pop open after starting dishwasher numerous times before latching would catch.
Removed two latch screws and one electrical connection, Removed two screws that hold D/W to countertop, pulled D/W out enough to remove the old latch, install new latch, push D/W back into place, rescrew to counter top and rescrew the two latch screws. This problem happened since new, had repairmen twice and they did nothing but move the dishwasher stating it needed alignment, never mentioned this easy repair....
Looked up the replacement part on YouTube, watched a video and followed the instructions. Part ordered was the correct part and the video showed how to access for replacing. Watched a different video for hooking up the disconnected springs that allow the door to lower and close smoothly. Whole process for repairs was less than 30 minutes.
- Removed standing water using shopvac - Uninstalled dishwasher - Hooked up hoses temporarily and ran dishwasher - Cancelled wash cycle and started drain cycle - checked drain pump voltage at pump power cable - OK - Measured drain pump windings and verified open circuit - Ordered new drain pump - Removed old drain pump and installed new unit - Hooked up hoses temporarily and ran dishwasher - OK - Re-installed dishwasher
took off 2 sheet metal on the bottom, lowered the dish washer, pulled it out enought to unscrew 2 screws, unplugged the old part plugged in the new, put it back together. Works like a champ.
Followed video instructions step by step. I was fortunate i had enough slack in water, electric and discharge lines to avoid disconnecting.
Two wrinkles 1. wire clips on my door had to be pulled/pried loose from door and there were two not one
2. could not slide dishwasher out after lowering adjusters and figured out it was the mounting tabs bumpimng the granite countertop, thus the use of putty knives to slide the dishwasher out.
Not having to screw with the hose clamps is the advantage here! Disconnect electric connection at motor. Slightly bend tabs that hold the pump to motor, twist motor from volute. Do this on old pump first to get a feel for how easy the tabs can be broken Do same on the replacement pump, put new motor on, watch alignment can be a bit tricky.
Dishes not drying and no heat other than hot tap water
Pulled dishwasher out switch is on very bottom of pump housing, turned dishwasher on its back, took out 1/4" bolt holding on bottom of switch frame, took two very small screwdrivers and small picks to hold open switch clips, while switch was removed checked float for frew movement, put in new switch, removed screw drivers and picks checked to see all locked on new switch in position, replaced bottom plate and bolt, checked burner reset all good now dishwasher heats and drys!
Pretty easy repair, since I installed the DW, so knew how it went in, turn off breaker, shut off & disconnect water, disconnect drain line into disposal, siphoned water out of bottom collection basin below sump filter. Slid DW out from under counter & laid on it's side.
Glad I watched a YouTube video so I knew to pry open 1 of 2 crimp style hose clamps on the old drain pump, then made sense why this was a drain pump "kit" that included 4 or 5 standard band hose clamps.
