Dishwasher quit working, clean light flashing
After reading the manual that a flashing green light is caused by a heater circuit, I assumed that the cause was the heater element. I found PartSelect on the web, ordered the element and received it the following day. I watched the video on installation and replaced it within a half hour. Unfortunately, the clean light still flashed. I went back to PartSelect site, read other peoples comments and ordered a thermistor. The delivery took one day and the replacement less than a half hour. Again, the light flashed. I ordered the high temp thermostat, received it immediately, changed it out and still had the flashing clean light. From the Part Select site, I learned the hi-temp/heated dry combination reset after the wash cycle for the rinse cycle without the heated dry. Dishes come out clean. I'm afraid to order the controller for over $120.00 and have the same outcome. I wish I had invested in an ohm meter. I am very happy with the PartSelect web site. It is very informative, easy to locate the parts and very quick delivery times.

Dishwasher would not run at all and lots of lights blinked all at once.
I am a 65 yr old woman and I can tell you that this repair was really easy. Just watch the utube video and there you have it no need to hire an expensive repair person on this one :-}

I had recently replaced the front control panel.....
after replacing the front control panel the dishwasher started and almost did a complete wash before for no reason just stopped before completing the cycle.I then ordered the Thermal fuse and the door switch kit. I installed the Thermal fuse and thought I would put everything back together to see if that fixed it. It did, so tomorrow I am returning the door switch kit for a refund.The repair instructions were very good.

The unit would not start
The part was exactly like the one in the dishwasher, and the picture that came alongwith the part was perfect.I removed the screws to separate the outer door from the inner part. Removed the plastic cover from the control unit, and recognised the part right away. It was then a simple task for removing the old part and installing the new one. Reassembled the door, and the dishwasher worked perfectly. G.E. Buena Park, CA
