Rinse off the float, replace it in the tube, and make sure it moves up and down freely.ĭishwasher Parts Diagram ©Don Vandervort, HomeTips Many floats require disconnection from below to do this you’ll have to remove the lower access panel.
Lift out the float mechanism, and clean around the float tube. When you move most types of floats up and down, you can hear them click because their spring-loaded action trips a lever. The float is usually a small plastic dome or cylinder mounted inside at the tub’s base, near the front.
When the dishwasher is cool (in other words, not right after a wash cycle), look for the float inside the dishwasher. If you can’t think of any reason this would have been turned off since the last time the dishwasher worked, go on to the next step.Ģ Turn off the power to the dishwasher. Open it all the way by turning it counterclockwise. Check the hot water supply stop valve, normally located under the sink. Dishwasher Diagram ©Don Vandervort, HomeTipsġ Make sure the water supply is turned on. If your dishwasher runs but doesn’t fill, either something is wrong with the water supply system or it is draining water too soon. If the problem is with the timer or selector switch, it’s best to call an appliance service person. To solve a door switch problem, you may be able to adjust the door latch’s strike slightly, using a screwdriver (turn off the power to the dishwasher at the electrical panel first). If electrical power is available to the dishwasher but the appliance doesn’t run, the problem is likely a defective door switch, timer, or selector switch. Turn the circuit breaker all of the way off, then flip it back to “ON.” © HomeTipsģ Check dishwasher switches & timer. If you find one, switch the breaker to OFF and then back to ON to reset the breaker, or replace the fuse. (This is a long shot, but it’s easy to do and may solve the problem if the dishwasher is on the same circuit.) To test a receptacle for power, just plug a working hand-held appliance into it.Ģ Check the electrical panel that serves the dishwasher for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse.
In the condition where the receptacle doesn’t have a reset, or where the dishwasher’s cord is hard-wired directly into the electrical box, look for another receptacle nearby that has a reset and try resetting it. Reset the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If the receptacle has a reset button, push the reset. Check to see if that outlet is a GFCI receptacle with a reset button. Look where the dishwasher’s cord plugs into a receptacle, usually under the sink. If absolutely nothing happens-in other words, nothing on the control panel lights up and there are no other signs of life-the appliance may not be receiving power. 1 Be sure the power is on, the door is latched, and the control is engaged.
