What part number for the rinse aid cap for this dishwasher?
For model number WDF540PADB1
Hi Bernie,
Thank you for your question. The part number listed under your model number for the rinse aid cap is PS11755939. If you would like to place an order for it, you may order it either online or by calling our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.
When I close the door and press the start button nothing happens. If I then press the drain / cancel button twice, first the light normally comes on and the pump starts. If I then push the start button again, the "normal" cycle indicator light may or may not come on. If it does, then I can press the start button again and the dishwasher runs its normal cycle. For the last couple of weeks I have had to go through this sequence more and more times to get it to start. Does this sound more like a bad controller (CNTRL-ELEC #PS11722933)or a bad console (PS11728027)? Thank you for your help.
For model number WDF540PADB1
Hello Craig, thank you for reaching out. It seems like the console, part number PS11728027, is defective and needs to be replaced. However, it is a good idea to check if the control board, part number PS11722933, is working properly and not damaged. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
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 called an experienced plumber, who balanced and installed my new dishwasher properly, using the brackets I ordered from Parts Select, after an INEXPERIENCED plumber had tossed the factory-provided mounting brackets out with the shipping carton. Relief!
