I am really struggling. My dishwasher quit working a few days ago so I took the door panel off and saw the door switch had went bad. So I went to the local appliance store and just bought the switch itself that went bad. After I replaced it I was able to wash 1 load and it quit again. This time I bought the door switch kit with the new leads and hooked it up and still nothing. Does anyone please have any idea what could be wrong now? I have power coming to the outlet, but that is all I know.

If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.

There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
