i just replaced the door latch assembly on the dishwasher because the door wouldn’t close all of the way, and now there is no water in the dishwasher. what did i do wrong!!
Sounds like a problem with the door switch, double check it to make sure it mounted and wired correctly.
May sound silly, but did you re connect the power to the dishwasher after replacing the switch?
yes, i reset the breaker. how do i make sure that it’s wired correctly? thank you
When you said that you replaced the door latch I was thinking you were talking about this part.
WHIRLPOOL Door Latch Assembly, part number: AP4113223
If so there are two door switches on it, did you take note how the wires were connect before you removed them?
If so check check your notes and make sure it’s wired correctly.
yes, i took mental notes on where those went but maybe i remembered wrong (it happens sometimes to me). i’m going to try and reverse the wires and see what happens. usually there are instructions that come with the parts but not this time. thank you for your help. i’ll let you know how this rewiring goes!
If you remove the toe plate at the bottom of the dishwasher you may find a tech sheet that would include the wiring diagram.
yep, but it’s too technical for me…
i switched the wires but it still doesn’t work.
Did the dishwasher run before you decided to replace the door switch?
yes but we had to tape the door shut
ok. so i took out the new switches that came with the new door latch and put the old switches in the new latch and IT WORKS!! thank you so much for your help. you do a wonderful service. stephen
Strange, it’s like one of the new door switches is bad then.
Glad you got it working, have a great weekend…
thanks. you have a great weekend as well.
