I have a JennAir JDB2100AWS that the door lock does not disengage. You have to close the door very hard to get it to lock. But once you turn it on, it will not turn off, so if you open it, it still runs. It will stop running once it goes through a cycle. The "clean" light stays on all the time now. Do I need to replace the door lock or is this just an adjustment, I can't tell if it's broken by looking at it. I do have a habit of opening the dishwasher to throw last minute items in ... this issue occurred after I did that one time.

For verifining the exect reson for your problem, you can start with a very simple test- Place the dish soap on the bottom of the dishwasher and run it for a full cycle. In case dishes will not become claen, your problem is with the water temp. If dishes will become clean properly, the problem is with the detergent door that doesn't opened at time (operated by a wax motor that get its power from the timer).Maybe that by cleaning the detergent cup you will solve the problem. In case it will not -To gain access to the wax motor you should open door assembly-Find the wax motor (close to the detergent dispenser cup)and test with a multi-meter if it get power(following cycle's sequence).If it get power, you should replace the wax motor. If it doesn't get power the problem is with the timer. Good luck !!

SOURCE: Dishwasher will not run

I am the guy from Key West with the Jenn Air....the solution for me was to give up finally and Home Depot provided a new dishwasher.........it works fine. I DID put a voltage surge protector on it which you can get at Home Depot for less than ten dollars as I recall...even called the surge protect company and was told it would work fine, just don't get it wet. (they have a warning NOT to use with water items like fish tanks, etc.)....was told it would be fine in this instance. Good luck to all with this problem!

SOURCE: Soap does not desolve

check that the spray arms are turning and that the holes in them are not clogged, if you line them up pointing towards the front let the machine fill then as it starts to wash open the door and you should see the arms slowing down, if they are okay then check the water level which should just lap the filter at the bottom

The handle is broken. You may have to force the door open so you can work on replacing the handle.
