Viking DFUD142 Built-in Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

try removing the panel on the front at bottom & remove the drain hose & let it drain try putting a bowl under it. u might have a clogged pump .

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? And how to fix it? Mine is now doing the same thing.

Hello, welcome to fixya

Here's what works for me, take the lower basket out and set it aside to give yourself a more work friendly environment. Now move the rack stops to the left if you haven't already and then the rack itself...example



and



Now you'll need to remove the bumpers at the back of the rack rail, example...

push down on the bumper as shown



and pull it down and out at the same time...it takes some force, you can use a small screwdriver.



Now you'll need to slide the rail all the way out as shown, but careful not to let the ball bearings fall into the sump area in the process.



I usually hold the broken piece in place while removing the rail...



...( they come in a kit at "repairclinic.com" under number 1394379 like shown here individual holders # 8058638-77 from the link I pasted below at allvikingparts )



http://www.allvikingparts.com/Guide_Rail_Ball_Holder_p/pd110003.htm

The trick now is to install the balls into the holders first



and the holders into the stationary part of the rail on the inside wall...



The inside wall rail will keep the holders in place as you slide the inside rail into place...this will usually require holding the holder with one hand while pushing the sliding rail back into place...



Once this is done, re-install the back rail bumpers followed by the rack and then finally the front rack stoppers and that should do it.

Hope that explain it for you or gives you an idea of how it needs to be done. Please take a moment to rate the assistance I provided here today favorable and a brief testimony is also appreciated when providing free solutions.

P.S.

I should also mention you as I alluded to, be sure none of the old 8 ball bearings didn't fall down into either the drain pump or circulation/wash pump. This is something I've seen far too often on Asko dishwashers with the end result being a broken impeller in either pump...or both, yikes ! I use a telescopic magnet to fish around as it will be the only object made of metal...unless something else has fallen in the sump well area, it's good to check.

more than likely the door saftey switch is broken, check your owners manual

put 2 small pieces of cardboard under the front legs until you get it where it wont roll out anymore. i had the came problem with my kenmore and it took care of it

depends on what he is required to do to gain access to the control panel. if you are handy with tools and are comfortable doing the repair... buy the part and replace it yourself.

If your machine is trying to pump out water that is not there, check the float level sensor. That is the detector that checks for water level during filling. If the pipe/mechanism is blocked, in the full position, the sensor will indicate that there is still water to be pumped out ... that is assuming the water has been pumped out otherwise look for a blockage in the outlet pipe.

I wonder if it is restarting like this one. https://www.justanswer.com/appliance/gqabi-viking-dishwasher-model-vdwu524ss-will-restart-cycle.html ..

Could be a defective cycle timer or a defect in something controlled by it

Possibly something stuck in the pump

Could be a stuck float valve

Wash Pump not working. Drain Pump is working. Wash arm jets blocked. Wash arm jammed.

Your dishwasher probably isn't level front to rear. As for the track problem, there could be a missing stop or some damaged hardware. The racks are supposed to be removable but not on their own.

Let’s assume the dishwasher is working correctly because it turns on but nothing else works. If a dishwasher does not fill with water at the correct level, it will not continue to advance. You’re not getting water. Check hot water valve under sink. The one for dishwasher. Maybe someone shut it off on accident. Also,
Water deposits like lime, calcium will build up and clog the screen on the dishwasher’s hot water intake valve.
That would need cleaned out. The valve itself will go bad alone. Regardless, once it’s getting water the dishwasher will run. Please let me know!!

Check for bent drain hose, make sure it’s not push in to far down in to drain trap, if it’s hooked up to garbage disposal check for blockage at that connection and what u want to do is see how good of the stream comes out from the end of drain hose just get big enough backer and fill unit by start cycle then drain unit by canceling cycle will put unit into drain mode
This will give you some ideas we’re to look for problem

I would expect that something may be fouling the lower arm, thus not allowing it to spin properly.
