My dish washer isn’t drying, i have replace the element, thermostat and turbidity sensor, but it still doesn’t dry or heat

Hi Linda,
Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is not cleaning anymore, check the filters. If filters are full of food debris remove and clean them in warm soapy water. Check the impellers in the pump to see if they are damaged. if they are the impellers are damaged, you will need to replace the pump. If the dishes are still dirty after a wash cycle, the turbidity sensor may be defective. It measures the amount of soil in the water. If it is defective it will need to be replaced. If the spray arms are clogged with mineral or soap residue build up, they will need to be cleaned. If the water is not hot enough to clean the dishes, the heating element may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!
My Dishwasher Randomly starts. It will fill with water then stop and do nothing but will run full cycle without starting. Other times it will start right up. I have replaced the control board and float switch. neither solved the problem
Hello Kevin, thank you for getting in touch. Check the door latch, part number PS11756967. It is the most likely cause of intermittent behavior like this. When the circulation pump tries to spin up, the vibration can cause a weak microswitch connection in the latch to drop out momentarily. The control board loses the door closed signal even briefly and immediately pauses the cycle. If the latch checks out, inspect the pump motor, part number PS11773089. Listen closely near the bottom of the unit when it stalls after filling. A faint buzzing or humming sound means the voltage is reaching the circulation pump motor but the motor is failing to turn. We hope this helps.
My dishwasher randomly starts. It will fill with water then do nothing. It will still complete the full cycle and drain at the end. Other times it will startup and wash. I have changed door latch, control control board and float switch. Even when it doesn’t run the lights stay lit on the panel
Hello Kevin, thank you for the question. The random self-starting points to a faulty console or touchpad assembly, part number PS11756085. Moisture and steam degrade the membrane contacts behind the touch keys over time causing ghost touches that randomly trigger start commands. The new control board simply executes whatever start signal it receives from the shorted keypad. Replacing the touchpad panel will eliminate the phantom starts. The fill then silence then drain pattern points to a faulty circulation pump motor, part number PS11756692. When the dishwasher fills and goes quiet, listen closely to the bottom of the machine for a low hum or buzzing. If the motor fails to start the board simply waits through the standard wash time and proceeds to drain normally, which explains why the lights stay on and the cycle appears to complete. We hope this is what you were looking for!

Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.

Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release
... Read more the old pump.
First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.

1. Open the dishwasher and remove the two plastic grommets about halfway down on either side of the opening. Then remove the two screws under the grommets.

4. There is a spring and nylon rope link on both sides of the unit. Probably just one link is broken, but the replacement comes with two, so you can replace both or save one as a spare. Look at the good side and it should be pretty self explanatory how it attaches. I found it easiest to first thread the link around the lower pulley, then attach the link to the spring, then spring to the rear support, then the link to the door.
