Timer on dishwasher not working




By cainsts on Mar 27, 2008

" "
Our dishwasher timer is not working through the cycles completely and won't drain the water. It keeps getting stuck in cycles and I have to open and close the dishwasher to make it start again. Is it the timer assembly and is it hard to replace?

- The model number is 36314527 and it is a Kenmore. It's only about 5 yrs old. It seems to stall shortly after it starts washing and before rinsing. It also will not go to the cycle to let it drain. Thanks for your quick reply!

ok start the washer after it fills and starts washing open the door again and turn the dial to drain shut the door see if it drains if it does then open the door and turn it to heated dry shut the door and get you a small glass of warm water let it sit in heated dry for about 3 minutes open the door and pour the water on the heating element and let me know if it sizzles
