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?

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.

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 Mary Jane, thank you for your question. We have researched the model you have provided, and we would suggest the Door Latch, part number PS11756967, and the strike, part number PS11756123. We hope this helps!
Our dishwasher stopped running mid-cycle, and now will not power on. We checked the house circuit, and that was still on and functioning. There is no leak. Could this be a door latch sensor? Or more likely a control board?

Hello Elizabeth, thank you for your question. The door latch could be loose, bent, or broken. Check for any broken pieces and try tightening with a screwdriver. To check if the door switch is faulty, disconnect it from the dishwasher and use a multimeter to check for continuity. If there is more than one wire connecting it, take note of where each wire goes. If it fails the multimeter test, replace the door switch. Part number PS11756967. If the door latch is working, we suggest replacing the control board. Part number PS11769413. We hope this helps!
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 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.
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 input 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.
