I am able to select the cycle i want and the timer displays but when i press the start button, it doesn't go into count down to start the machine. I read the answer provided above but i have the same issue but the start up button does not light up. I have already replaced the control panel. Any ideas?

Dishwasher won't power on. At one point in the day when it wasn't in use, it flashed and beeped unexpectedly. Then later on, when loaded, wouldn't power on at all. Power connection tested, breaker tested, all fine.

Hello Brian,
Thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the latch switches under part PS11756967 for your model. If the start button is lit up but the unit won't start, the latch switches may not be functioning properly. These switches, when activated, tell the unit that its ok to start the wash cycle. If the switches are not the issue, then the control panel would be the next step. We hope this helps.

Hi Doug, thank you for bringing this question to our attention. According to our research, we would recommend checking the control panel assembly, part number PS11769756, to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!
WHEN I FIRST START THE DISHWASHER IT WHISTLES AND EACH TIME IT CYCLES . THINKING ITS THE WATER VALVE, YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE.

Hello Floyd, thank you for contacting us. Yes, a faulty water inlet valve, part number PS11752927, can cause this issue. The diaphragm inside the inlet valve can deteriorate and deform after years of use. When this happens, the water passing through the valve can produce a loud buzzing, squealing, or whistling sound. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
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

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.
2. Remove the kick plate under the door. May have to lower unit by turning the feet using the adjustable wrench.
3. Make sure you have enough slack in the water i
... Read morenput line and electrical wiring that you can pull the dishwasher out about 12 inches or more.
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.
