My dishwasher will run for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Time then goes to dashes and blinks (- -:- -) then goes to 0:02 and runs until complete. These last 0:02 seem to be it draining.

Hi Jackie, Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is not running correctly, there may be an issue with either the user control and display board or the electronic control board. Check the connections between the parts to see if they are fitted correctly and check the boards for signs of damage, wear or burn marks. If the boards display any of these signs, replace them. Check the door latch as well. Make sure the door is shut. If the door is not shutting correctly or it may cause this. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

We’ve had the dishwasher for a few years. It worked great at first but know it doesn’t seem to clean the dishes very well. We use Jet Dry and Cascade platinum any suggestions?

Hello Kim, thank you for writing. We have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is Manifold PartSelect Number PS11756472. If the manifold is damaged, the spray arm will not be able to wash the dishes in the dishwasher evenly. If you notice that your dishwasher is not cleaning the way it should, it is an indication that you should check the manifold for damage. Good luck and have a great day.

Hi. Thank you for this opportunity. The dishwasher, model MDB49495DZ0, will not energize. This happened after a power outage during the storm. When power to the house was restored, The dishwasher remained dead. I welcome your strong technical kung-fu.

Hello William, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the User Control and Display Board, part number PS11769413. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to the Main Control Board, part number PS11769633. We also recommend checking the power cord of the unit. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

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.
