There’s no power gets to my dishwasher inlet valve?
I never disconnected anything electrical besides unplugging the dishwasher. That seems like a strange coincidence if this went bad right after I removed and reinstalled the dishwasher, but I don't know what I would have done to cause this. Please help
Kitchenaid dishwasher won't start?
Your model number will start with "DU", meaning dishwasher, undercounted. Are you sure you haven't just locked the child safety switch? Hold the button down for 5 seconds, then release it. If this doesn't fix it, you can probably reset the panel by simply turning the panel control to "off", then go to your breaker box, and flip the breaker which controls the DW (breakers are marked). Wait 15 minutes, then flip breaker back on. One of these two will almost certainly get you going.
Dishwasher shutting down the fuse?
You've got 2 issues. First there is a problem with the d/w. It needs service. Second the breaker for that circuit is bad. It is passing the dead short through to the main. Look at the panel for the following: FP&E (Federal Pacific Electric) if so, you need to have that panel replaced asap. It is a known Fire Hazard. Look it up on the web. Call the realtor you used to purchase the apartment. There is a real good chance you can go back on the previous owner for some or all of the related cost. No harm in asking. If you are renting then your options are limited to safety issues, not convenience issues. Sorry. Is the panel for your unit in the basement or in your unit? If it's in the basement, running additional circuits isn't going to be cheap.
How do you reset a KitchenAid dishwasher that won't start?
Not all Kitchenaids have this feature, but sometimes you can temporarily resolve the issue by doing a “key dance.” The most common reset code is “high temp wash - energy saver air dry.” Repeat three times. This resets the control board after a “blinking clean light” fault code. We get the fault code when the dishwasher does not sense a certain temperature rise in a certain number of minutes with the wash motor and heater having power.If this key dance “fixes” your dishwasher, it still needs to be looked at to find why the fault code occurred. Possibilities are:No fill/low fillWash motor not runningHeater not runningWater flow restricted due to debris in the sump.If you can select a cycle but the dishwasher simply won't start, you might have a failed touch pad.If the dishwasher shows no response and no lights, there could be a problem with the power supply to the machine or a failed thermal fuse on the control board.You should never need to reset the control board unless there's a malfunction of some kind.
Frigidaire dishwasher starts normal cycle and dies a couple of minutes later?
Ok so I did a couple of things and the dishwasher is still not working. I changed out the circuit breaker in my box from a 15 to a 20 thinking maybe that was the issue but still not working. the dishwasher is getting power I tested the wires. I then removed the wiring conections and re-wired it thinking maybe something was wrong there. still nothing, I tried all of the rest option that are offered by frigidaire and that didn't work either. I did notice water at the bottom of the tub because the last time i ran it the dishwasher stopped half way through, so I scooped out all of the water and that did nothing. I know the dishwasher works and is getting power but whhere could I be going wrong? Could it have to do with the dishwasher not draining last time? the only other thing I can think of is to pull the whole thing out again and wire it to a different breaker to see if that works.
Why was the countertop above my dishwasher really hot when I woke up this morning?
So I woke up this morning and for no particular reason put something down on the kitchen counter above the dishwasher and noticed that it was very hot like it could have actually burned me if I let my hand on there for too long. The dishwasher was not running and had not been run for at least a day. I wonder I have this button on the dishwasher where you can add "added heat" to make sure your dishes are not wet when the load is done and I pushed this button the last time I used it. I am wondering if this is what cause it. Before I left the house I shut the dishwasher off at the fuse box because I was worried it might cause a fire or something. Thanks
Why do the fuses in my house keep blowing?
It could be that your electrical wiring wasn't done correctly - we found that out when we turned on our dishwasher and dryer at the same time and a fuse blew. Likewise when the a/c and some other large appliance was turned on at the same time. I used to think that it was the fuses themselves being too large for the circuit (a 30 amp in a 15 amp socket, etc.) or maybe not enough power for the circuit, but they were the same ones as when we bought the place, so we had an electrician come in and he said "whoever wired this place was playing with fire, and NOT a certified electrician! " Then he rewired us from the house to the pole (outside) and said that it still needed to be upgraded. Lovely. Hire someone to come and give you rundown on what you are dealing with before you do have a fire.
ELECTRICIANS!!!! Fuse keeps blowing?
Hi, I live in an apartment and the breaker box we have is really old. It is a Stab-Lok [Idk model]. Now whenever I have my bedroom light on and air conditioner, The power in my bathroom and 2 bedrooms goes out. Not the living room or kitchen though. When I go to flick the switch on the breaker station, It won't click in place right away. I have to keep flicking it in order for it to click in place. about a day ago, When I flicked the breaker switch a blue spark came out of the row where the switch was. This concerned me. The landlord just says it's too much electricity on that particular side of the apartment. I fear of a fire or serious electrical problem. I hope it is just too much electricity but I need answers on why it is doing this. This is a similar model to my breaker box http://mrelectricwesternct.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/FP-breaker-panel.jpg It's not the exact model but I wanted to give you an idea on the switches I've been talking about.
WHAT WILL PREVENT US FROM BLOWING FUSES???? :-(?
You are trying to run too much on one circuit. Put each a/c on its own circuit. PLUS, depending on the age of the units, there's a more than likely chance they all need a good inside thorough cleaning. A dirty window unit will pull way more amperage than normal... DO remember to regularly clean the front panel return air filters. Also, get some attic ventilation and it the a/c's will not have to work so hard. That is as simple as tying a box fan in a gable and having it blow outwards.
