The drain solenoid is staying activated through all cycles. I replaced the pump/motor assembly, the solenoid with a known good one, also the timer. What else could possibly cause this?

Remove the toe panel and check how the power cord is connected to the dishwasher. Very likely there is a reversed polarity: the neutral from the power cord is connected to the dishwasher hot and the hot from the power cord is connected to the dishwasher neutral.

I moved the dishwasher from one room to the other and wired it up myself. also it did the same thing in both rooms.

I do not see what else could cause it. Maybe somebody else on the forum can find the solution.

If I understand your comments, apparently the drain solenoid stays on all the time, independent of timer settings. If so, look for a shorted wire near the timer. You probably will need a meter to check where the shorted wire is.

Has this unit ever worked properly?
The reason I ask is often people buy or are given a unit and someone has gone in and messed up the wiring.
Do you have a wiring diagram? If yes could you scan it and add it to a post?
Disconnect the timer, now is it activated? |
