Dishwasher Door Switch WP8269209

Hello Jeff, thank you for your question. The first part I would recommend testing is the door switch. If the switch doesn't activate you won't be able to make any selections on the panel. The door switch is part number PS11745501. Here is a link that will show you how to test the door switch. https://www.partselect.com/Dishwasher+test-door-switch+repair.htm If the door switch is ok, the next step would be to test the bi metal fuse. Part number PS2360984. This part can be tested for continuity. If there is no continuity the part should be replaced. Also check the connection between the control panel and the board. If the previous information doesn't help, the issue would be with the control panel or electronic control board. I hope this helps!

Hello Greg, thank you for your question. Yes, that would be the next step. It sounds like the door switch is faulty. I hope this helps!

Hello Paul, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Door Switch. If defective it will not allow the Wash Cycle to start. Use your ohmmeter to test your switch for continuity. Begin by setting your ohmmeter to measure resistance at a scale of Rx1. Touch the metal tips of the test leads together and zero your ohmmeter by adjusting the thumbwheel in the front of the meter until the needle reads '0' on the scale. Touch one meter lead to the COM terminal and the other lead to the N.O. terminal. Do not push in on the actuator. Your meter should give a reading of infinity, meaning the circuit is open, and there is no continuity. Without moving the meter's leads, press down on the actuator until you hear a 'click'. With the 'click' of the actuator, the meter should produce a resistance reading of zero ohms. This means the circuit is closed and continuity is present.Keep the meter lead that is touching the COM terminal in place, but move the other meter lead from the N.O. terminal to the N.C. terminal. You should receive a reading of infinity when you push in on the switch's actuator. When the actuator is released, you should receive a resistance reading of zero ohms. Now, set your ohmmeter to its highest resistance scale and touch one meter lead to the N.O. terminal and the other meter lead to the N.C. terminal. The resistance reading between these two leads should be infinite. Finally, take a resistance reading from both the N.C. terminal and the N.O. terminal to any metal mounting hardware that is a part of the switch assembly. You should receive a normal reading of infinity. We hope this helps!

Hello Shawn, thank you for your question. One possible cause of your issue may be a faulty actuator PS11746083 or other parts of the locking mechanisms such as the door latch PS11751646 or the door strike PS11746800. Also, there is the possibility that the board may be failing PS11770251. We hope this helps.

Hi Gary, Thank you for the question. Sometimes the "Heavy Duty" and "Normal" lights will flash to indicate and error has been detected. You can reset the appliance by unpluging the dishwasher and wait two minutes and then return power to the machine. Open and close the dishwasher door firmly and select a new wash cycle, followed by Start. Hope this helps!
