This has all of the sudden stopped washing. Like the arm doesn’t rotate or put out any water.

Hello Deborah, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the Spray Arms for blockage preventing the water from spraying. If the arms are good, you may need to replace the Circulation Pump, PartSelect Number PS11773089. Hope this helps!

the control lock keeps going on by itself, then wont go off. It doesnt respond to the three second hold. Instead I have to use the buttons to reset, so all the lights go on and then cancel and it works - but sometimes it doesnt respond to the reset code either. Its hit or miss. Do I need to replace the interface?

We have narrowed our problem to the electronic control board but see there is not an instructional video showing how to remove and install a new one? Is there a video with a similar dishwasher showing how to do this?

Hi Fern, Thank you for your question. Here is a link to one of our YouTube videos that you may reference for information on how to install the electronic control board, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLR4ZrKB4ow. The dishwasher in the video may not be the same as yours, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. We hope this helps!

Wash cycles start normally; tub fills with water, pump starts, pre-rinse cycle ensues. At some point part way through the wash cycle, the water drains properly but doesn't fill again. Then the circulation pump runs dry for sometimes many minutes before the cycle is complete. It happens (I think) every cycle - but sometimes the unit will drain and fill properly several times in each cycle before running dry. Inlet valve and float switch bench test ok, pump runs well (for now). Thanks for reading.

Replaced Hinge Link
Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.

dishwasher not draining after wash cycle
Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release the old pump.

First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.

Door spring link broken
1. Open the dishwasher and remove the two plastic grommets about halfway down on either side of the opening. Then remove the two screws under the grommets.

2. Remove the kick plate under the door. May have to lower unit by turning the feet using the adjustable wrench.

3. Make sure you have enough slack in the water input line and electrical wiring that you can pull the dishwasher out about 12 inches or more.

4. There is a spring and nylon rope link on both sides of the unit. Probably just one link is broken, but the replacement comes with two, so you can replace both or save one as a spare. Look at the good side and it should be pretty self explanatory how it attaches. I found it easiest to first thread the link around the lower pulley, then attach the link to the spring, then spring to the rear support, then the link to the door.

5. Reverse (2 to 1) to reinstall the dishwasher.
