If your dishwasher is cleaning poorly, check these:

Water-inlet valve
Internal filters
Drain valve
Spray arms
Water temperature
Detergent cup
Water-inlet valve Most cleaning problems are caused by the dishwasher not getting enough wash water, so the water-inlet valve is often to blame. This valve is usually at the bottom left or right of the dishwasher, behind the lower access panel. It's the device with the main water line from the house, a rubber tube to the dishwasher, and two wires attached to it.

When a water-inlet valve is defective, you may hear the sound that's usually referred to as "water hammer." If the water-inlet valve is defective, you need to completely replace it.

Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Replacement

Be sure to read and understand any instructions that come with the new water inlet valve.

Tools required:

Adjustable wrench

Multi-Screwdriver

Pliers

Step 1. Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source.

Note: Dishwashers are usually wired directly to the home’s electrical system. To disconnect the power, switch off the circuit breaker or remove the fuse for the electrical circuit the dishwasher is attached to. Try to turn the unit on after disconnecting the power to be sure you were successful.

CAUTION: If you’re not sure you’ve shut off the power properly, DO NOT CONTINUE. Call a qualified appliance repair technician to complete the repair.

Step 2. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. This is usually underneath the kitchen sink or in the basement or crawlspace near the location of the dishwasher. Pliers may be helpful here.

Note: If there are no shut-off valves, you must shut the water off at the main water supply valve for your home.

Step 3. Remove the lower panel(s) of the dishwasher. These are usually held by 2 to 4 screws at the upper and lower corners of the panel(s).

The inlet valve is usually near the front of the dishwasher. Attached to the valve you’ll see: 2 or 4 wires, the water supply line from the house and the water feed line that goes to the dishwasher.

Step 4. Remove the household water supply line from the valve. The line is usually secured with a brass compression nut. The water supply line is usually copper or braided stainless steel.

CAUTION: Water supply line may be hot.

Step 5. Remove the fitting from the valve the water supply line was attached to. This fitting may be very difficult to remove. It may help to put the valve into a vice in order to remove the fitting. If you cannot remove it, replace it. The fitting is not an appliance part but a plumbing part that is available at most hardware stores.

Step 6. Remove the screws holding the valve to the dishwasher frame.

Step 7. Label the wires to the valve so you’ll be sure to reattach them correctly.

Step 8. Remove the wires from the valve.

Step 9. Remove the clamp on the black rubber water discharge tube and pull the tube off of the valve.

Step 10. Reinstall the old fitting (or a replacement fitting if necessary) onto the new valve the water supply line was attached to. Use Teflon tape or pipe joint compound as a thread sealant. Make this fitting tight to prevent leaks. Make sure that the fitting points in the same direction as the old one so that the water supply line will meet up with it properly.

Step 11. Install the new valve in the reverse order of the removal instructions.

Note: The water supply line is under high pressure. Be sure to tighten the fittings properly.

Step 12. Turn on the water to the machine, and check for and correct any leaks.

Step 13. Reinstall the access panel(s). Restore the power to the dishwasher and test.

Note: You may have to let the dishwasher run a few minutes before it reaches the next water fill cycle.

Internal filters Every dishwasher has some type of filter to keep large food particles and foreign objects away from the pump assembly:

  • Most modern dishwashers have self-cleaning filters that don't need any routine cleaning.

  • Some have filters in the bottom of the dishwasher that you need to periodically clean. You don't need any tools to remove the filter, and cleaning it is easy. Consult your owner's manual to determine which type you have and its maintenance requirements.

If your filter is clogged, it may be causing the cleaning problem.

Drain valve Some dishwashers have a valve (or gate) that should open only during draining. If debris lodges in the valve, it can't close properly, so water drains out during the wash cycle. Most dishwashers drain into the garbage disposer. If yours does that, listen for water flowing into the disposer during the wash cycle. If you can hear it then, the drain valve may be clogged.

Spray arms There's a spray arm at the bottom of your dishwasher--it may have a tall spray tube mounted to the center of it. There may also be a spray arm located directly beneath the upper rack of dishes and/or above the upper rack.

If debris is blocking the holes in the spray arms where the water comes out, it could cause cleaning problems. Regularly inspect each of the spray arms and clean out the holes as necessary.

Water temperature To get the best cleaning results, the water entering your dishwasher needs to be hot enough. Try running the hot water in your kitchen sink for about 30 seconds before starting the dishwasher, to pre-heat it. Also, if your dishwasher lets you select a higher wash or rinse temperature, try that to see if it helps.

To check the temperature of the hot water that comes from your kitchen faucet use a waterproof thermometer. If the water isn't 120 degrees Fahrenheit, your dishwasher may have trouble getting your dishes clean. You could increase the temperature of the hot water to the whole house--and therefore the dishwasher--by adjusting the hot water heater thermostat.

Warning! To lessen the risk of scalding, don't set the hot water heater temperature higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Detergent cup Dishwashers don't perform their best if detergent is introduced only at the beginning of a cycle, so add detergent to both parts of the cup.

SOURCE: new MotorGuide VariMAX trolling motor does not run

The motor should work without the circuit breaker for a test. The breaker is a safety device to protect the motor and wires if something malfunctions.

SOURCE: motor make noise in water check propeller look

Hi, this sounds like a speed controller failure, i suspect the electronics speed controller is/has failed, failing?

The ONLY real way to find out what's wrong is by substituting the speed controller module and see if that fixes things.

To see if the motor actually works, try using it directly across a 12 V Battery, NOT a 24V, and see if you get any movement or even a Kick, if you do get evidence of it working, then to prove further try it on the full 24 V, it should rotate...

Now if it works like that direct, then now hook it back up to the speed controller, and see if it works, if NOT, then we have proved the electronics to be at fault. Replace/Repair the controller. (I always advise replacement, as a repaired device, has a greater chance of a future breakdown within 9 - 18 Months.)

When my speed queen starts a low quick banging noise is heard. tried low loads but same noise

A Speed Queen top-load washer making a banging sound at the beginning of the cycle could be a sign of a few problems. You could examine the following:
  • Size of load: Check to see that you are not overfilling the washer. The water and clothes should be about 3/4 full in the washer. Overloading the washer can result in the drum becoming unbalanced and making banging sounds.
  • Leveling: Verify that the washer is level. If not, reposition the washer's feet until it is level. A washer that is out of balance can also make banging sounds.
  • Spring elements: Examine the suspension springs at the drum's top. The drum may slam against the washer's sides if one of them has broken or come loose.
  • Motor: The motor might be the source of the banging sound. The washer may vibrate and make banging sounds if the motor is loose or damaged.

Hi, Have a 93 2.5 liter deisal Pajero. Pulling out of garage, went three feet and stopped. Motor turns over, but will not start. Using pump on filter can get fuel at the return line

Check and verify the pickup low pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank is working, it will run anytime the key is in the crank position or the engine is running, should make a low pitched whirring noise, best heard with the fuel fill cap removed and ear down to the fill tube..

Haier CFL-CFE f/f is very noisy

Intermittent noise is usually a sign that it is not flat/ on an unstable floor. The truth of the matter is that all appliances today are built cheaper as time goes on and that makes funny things happen including noise.

The fact that it is not happening all the time tells me that it is not a mechanical failure. IE: if a motor goes bad,it stays bad and does not have mood swings 3 times a day!

Easy fix.. When it starts making noise,just put your hand on the side of it and gently push. If it gets softer/goes away then you need to shim a corner or adjust the feet (most delivery guys drop it and leave. They do not adjust feet/ doors/ or anything. They just deliver) You can try different parts until you get it right but the hard part is being there when it happens

Poping noise behind the dash when you turn the engine off on a 2006 s type jaguar

The popping noise heard is possibily a motor operating out of its parameters. Check all the heater functions to make sure they operate correctly i.e changing from feet to screen etc to eliminate a possible motor fault

On low speed there is a ticking in the fan as though something was rubbing. The noise goes away on higher speeds. How can I remove the heater motor to see if there is something rubbing. This is on a 2005...

It's on the pasenger side of the truck. Where the persons feet would be if sitting there. Lay down on your back and look up under the dash. There will be you blower motor. There are three gold or siver colored 5.5mm headed bolts holding it up to the heater case. Pull those out and the blower motor will drop down. Also you will need to remove the electrical connector before pulling the screws out. I will bet a peice of paper has been sucked out of you glove box and is in the blower motor. Be sure to note the position of the blower motor, it can only go in one way.

Thumping behind the glove box

Not hearingf the noise and not knowing how handy you are here goes. In the heater box there are two different acuators that control the angles of the air doors in the heater. One of these motors is trying to move but can't ( air door stuck, ink pen down in it. Peices of store bag sucked up in dash, rust) The motor can sometimes be tricked into not making noise. try all the different positions of the heater controls. You may find a position that the door is at the place the controls are asking it to be and it'll stop. Next would be to take the cover above the passenger feet out and look up in there with the car turned on and try to figure which part is making the noise. unplug the wire on the motor making the noise, and then see if the controls will let you use the heater or air to get you home. These motors are sometimes hard to get out even for those of us that do it all the time and the auto parts stores have some of the more common failing ones as they sell well.

Screeching sound at the back of engine at the top of head

Check all the bolts and fastenings for the heat shrouds around the exhaust manifold to make sure they are there (and firm). If you can undo them without snapping them, take the shrouds off to check for gravel trapped in that area. It could also be a failing cat converter, but a lot less likely. My next step would be to remove the rocker cover and have a look......

Motor operates in horizontal position only

Take the top cover off and check for a wiring problem. You may have one that is loose and isn't
making connection when motor is in the water. I'd guess it is your red (hot) wire).
