So I woke up this morning to run the dishwasher before family starts to arrive for Christmas and the d/w doesn't respond. There are no lights coming on anywhere on the control panel. I just used it less than a week ago and it worked fine?
I flipped the circuit breaker switch off and back on but that did not do anything either. Any suggestions???

Here are your parts Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL DU1100XTPS7 UNDERCOUNTER DISHWASHER | AppliancePartsPros.comIt is best to check power with a meter. Many units are connected to power with wire nuts. Shut the breaker off and check that these connections are OK. Check the thermal fuse Item 6 in Section 2. If blown be sure to use the new harness that comes with the replacement, If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long. If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool. Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it. A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity 1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter. 2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path. 3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range. There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use. |
