Kenmore Ultra Wash - No lights

Dishwasher Repair

2 Problems -

  • Sometimes a rattling noise(for a minute) during the first 20 minutes of wash and those times(I think) the detergent door does not open.
  • The cycle lights do not work now except for Clean.

Any comments on these 2 and what they say about the health of the control module?? Thanks

Jim,

Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power. Open the dishwasher door. Open console and disconnect the keypad ribbon connection from the control (at P1). Make sure all other connections are made. Put console back together. Do not close the dishwasher door. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power. Wait 5 seconds. Close dishwasher door.

Monitor the control’s response:

If the control is OK, it will respond by turning on a Drain Motor for 2 minutes. Replace the keypad if the control responds OK.

If the control is not OK, then the drain motor will NOT respond and will remain off. If no response, replace the control.

The keypad is coming as a part of the control panel. If you need the correct part number, post the color of it.
