After going through an apparent cycle, water was still in the bottom when we went to take dishes out. Now no lights of any kind come on. I have fiddled with the door handle thinking switch. Also have no breakers tripped. Is there any kind of a reset on this machine? Also, it was put into service in 2005 in a brand new house. 200a breaker box, new wiring, the whole thing. Garbage disposal is working and drains, so I don't think there is a drain issue.

Hi,

I would check for power at the junction box under the dishwasher. Sometimes the wire nuts come loose and cause problems.

Other common problems I see with dead dishwasher are door switches and thermal fuses. Both can be checked for continuity with a multimeter to see if they are good or need to be replaced..

Thanks, I'll check the junction box first. Is there a parts manual available somewhere for this model? Sometimes a picture helps!

Junction box is fine. There appears to be some discoloration in a connection with a brown wire and a brown/white wire going into it. Is there a parts schematic available anywhere for this unit?

Thanks!
