I
have an older dishwasher also and recently my wife also complained
about it not cleaning right... so me being the man I am tried in vain
to clean the things... Bought new spray arms online and installed
them in minutes...now the thing works like new... However I have also
found that if the heating element goes bad then that also can mess
things up bad... So I would buy new spray arms, and also check out
the heating element to make sure it is working... Here is a tip that
will help you with the online buying...
This applies to most washers:
Loss of power to a drain pump and /or drain valves can usually be traced to two main problem areas:
1. Faulty timer (aka rotary control) units
2. Discontinuity due to wire fatigue or loose connections.
Fault finding of #1 can be difficult, particularly if the person doing the fault finding does not have the necessary tools, and does not understand machine logic or the steps that create the whole.
Fault finding in the case of #2 is somewhat easier, since visual and/or manual inspection is a great aid. However, a multimeter is still an almost indispensable tool and allows easier fault-finding and diagnosis.
Your machine might have a blocked water level sensor or sensor tube.
Many machines have independant sensors for when the water level is full and when empty.
After the wash cycle, if the machine just continues to try to pump water out (even when empty), then it's most likely a sensor problem.
Sometimes, the sensor also has a breather tube, and if this clogs with fluff / debris, similar symptoms esult.
Check your thermal fuse. It is usually on the back of the dryer and you will not be able to see if it is bad or not. You can take out the fuse and attach a jumper to both contacts (Wire with two alligator clips) Or you can wrap the fuse with some thin stripped wire, telephone wire works great, just wrap around the metal parts on both ends then reinsert fuse. After you do this, try the dryer and see if the heat comes on. Do not run your dryer after this test without a thermal fuse, you can damage it. This is just used to test it. If your dryer starts heating go to an appliance parts store with your model and serial number and they can supply you with a thermal fuse. I think the last time I got one it was around $13.
When the switch is ON, the light operates in dusk-to-dawn mode. In this mode, the light automatically turns on at sunset and turns off at sunrise. When the switch is off, the light stays off.
Press P (program )on the timer and display will show then change the desired day, time and minute using the D+, H+ and M+ buttons. Press P again to set up another program and repeat the second step as above
Clear memory by pushing the reset button on the timer then reprogram using your current schedule when you want the timer to go off/on. Use the day and clock buttons for this then press enter
No, the timer should not make any noise. The noise should be a result of loose connections which cause arcing, which can make a humming or buzzing sound.
If you find that you still notice the sound, even when the main breaker is off then the problem is not electrical in nature.
Question edited for clarity and add a header in order with spaces and CAPS.
It appears Micromark got out or the timer business. There is a similar one in another Fixya post, and a link to them.
