Unhappy Kenmore Dishwasher Died
Model Number: 665.15822000   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 1 - 5 years   

My dishwasher died during a cycle and has no lights on the control panel. I used a voltage detector to check for power and found the following:
  • when the door switch is actuated - power can be detected at the thermal fuse - on and off as the switch is actuated and let go. This seems to be working properly. I even tried removing the fuse and jumping it out - no dice.
  • the Thermal fuse is intact and power goes beyond into the control board.
  • i purchased a new control board for $100 and popped it in and guess what.......right... it didn't work.
I'm about to lose it and I gotta get this thing fixed.....Please help!!!

Gene has much to be proud of
Default

The first thing I would do is verify if there is 120VAC between the hot and neutral wires with a voltmeter. Detector will show power but if there is no proper voltage - the dishwasher will never work. Also verify if there is no reversed polarity at the dishwasher junction box (under the dishwasher).

Post your findings.

Gene.
