dishwasher-Nothing happens when pushing the start, there is power going to the board, the door switch is working, what I think is the bimetal fuse is good, 125vac going through it with no voltage drop across it. Would the heating element cause nothing to happen? What should I check next?

Hello Kurt, thank you for your query. Since you have checked the door switch and that is not the issue, we would recommend checking the control panel, part number PS11723007, to solve the problem. It houses the selection buttons and display for the dishwasher. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
Everything lights up except the push start, first time since we bought it having any problems...Has always run like a clock...So what can you tell me about it thanks.

Hello Cheryl, thank you for your query. To fix the issue, you may need to replace the touchpad and control panel, part number PS11723007. It houses the selection buttons and display of the dishwasher. We hope this solves your problem!
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.
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.
I did a search on the website and read the instructions for trouble shooting. I took the inside door off by taking the screws out. I pulled the part and tested it and found it did not in fact have no ampage. I then ordered the part on line. It came in two days, I plugged it in, put the door back together and the total time was about 15-20 minutes. Easy, simple, great instructions and the entire thing only costed me the part itself. It's working great now! And I've never worked on appliances before.
