Problem for Viking 24 in. Professional Series VUD141 (Ultra-Premium)...

Found short; repaired. Labelled

Found short; repaired. Labelled connector order for re-install on main knob/VB, but did not (stupidly) notice which lugs where not used. Runs some, no water, etc.

- Not even close, yet. Power is not the problem; distribution through the 8 connectors on the lower portion of the main, 5-position rotary switch is.

I removed and numbered the 8 connectors to effect a repair. I need to know what 2 lugs are to
be left un-connected. The inlet valve is not opening to allow water to flow. The circulation pump is running, though.

A picture of the right side of the rotary switch would work, or the 2 untapped connecdtions, i.e. 5a
and 8b or whatever.

That would solve my problem.

Thank you,
Chuck

- On a Viking VUD 141 dishwasher, the rotary switch and timer housing lower portion has 10 electrical lugs on the right side.

Which two are left untapped?

Thank you.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa.First, make sure that the unit is getting power to the cord. Next, take the kickplate off below the door. There is a silver box with wire connections inside it's about 3" x 3". Remove the cover and look at the wire connections. This is where your cord connects in with your dishwasher. If the connections check good and they're not melted or shorted then you probably have a bad control board.

A device may cease to function or operate sporadically if the electrical cord is damaged. Inspect the cord for any of the following damage.

  • Is the wire shielding pulling away from the plug?

  • Is the cord secure where it connects to the device?

  • Are there black smudges or burn marks on the outlet, cord or anywhere the cord comes in contact?

  • Are there cracks in the shielding or exposed wire?

  • Has the cord been pinched or bent so that the wire inside may have broken?

  • If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", then the cord should be replaced.


Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

- Hi


You can see the blown use, tripped circuit breaker, wiring connections, door latch, timer motor and selector switch just clicking on the words shown in blue color.


Please check for a blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker Also check that the dishwasher is plugged in securely. Inspect the wiring connections to the dishwasher for burns or breaks. Check the door latch, test the door switch, the timer motor, selector switch, motor start relay and even motor itself.
If the drain pump is running continuously, then there is probably a leak in the pump housing area below the unit.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Thanks

Behind the front 'kick plate' is the tech sheet for the machine. It should have a schematic for the machine. there are wire numbers and colors for each wire. I bet if you study it, you will see what you need to do.
