Denman, please help. My dishwasher stayed in its first cycle for 45 minutes (I timed it), I had to manually turn the knob to the rince cycle and even that cycle took a long time, I finally just manually turned the knob to off. Thanks for your expert advice.
Patty from WV:)

Most units have hold points where the machine waits for the water to reach a certain temperature.
If you have an econo cycle re: no water heating, try that to see if the wash times are OK.
I have no technical info on this unit so am sort of taking shots in the dark.
Check that the water temperature of the water filling the unit is at least 120 degrees F.
Check your heater, should be around 20 ohms.
Be sure to remove power from the unit when doing this and disconnect one side of it. This prevents you from reading an alternate/parallel circuit path.
Most units have 2 thermostats on is a hi-limit for the heater and the other is a sensing thermostat to tell the unit that the water temperature has reached a set point. I can only find one in your unit (Item 44 in Section 4) but am not sure which it would be.
Hopefully someone with experience on this particular model or with the wiring diagram will jump in and help out. |
