Hi The issue seems to be with the float switch assembly (part#27) that is bad and should be replaced. Please check this diagram....part#27,30, 31 is what you have to check. Your float assembly is found inside the dishwasher's tub, on the bottom. The water that fills your dishwasher lifts the float, and when it reaches a certain level, it acts as a trigger for the float switch. The float triggers the float switch to shut off, thereby shutting off the flow of water into the dishwasher. A defective switch may interfere with your dishwasher's filling and/or draining ability.Use your voltmeter to test the switch. Set the device to the ohms setting x 1. Take each probe and touch them to one switch terminal each. This should produce a reading of either zero or infinity. Continue to touch the probes to the terminals, and press down on the switch's button. The reading should change to the opposite extreme. If your switch fails either of these tests, you should replace it. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance. Daniel
I suspect something hard like a fragment of chicken bone or a citrus seed is at the inlet to the drain pump (my favorite was a plastic pull strip from a frozen juice concentrate can - that was LOUD). Many dishwashers have a chopper similar to that in a garbage disposal right before the pump inlet, but some things like bone won't go through it. It could be something light enough to float and only hits the pump when the water level drops. You may have to remove the pump cover in the bottom of the dishwasher to find it. This would be a good time to clean any garbage out of the lower spray arm and check the spray arm bushing for excess wear.

This is just a standard size dishwasher model. Dishwashers in general are going to be standard size unless you get a portable dishwasher or a 30 inch wide dishwasher. There are very few of these models. Your size dishwasher is just 24" wide 24" deep and 34 1/2 inches tall but the height can be adjusted somewhat
Those units are shipped without a power cord so they can be hard wired into a conduit box. Check the power cord where it is wired into the box ON THE MACHINE and make sure all the connections are correct and are secure.
I am not familiar with the model but I doubt it - few people these days use the highly inefficient soap dispenser, preferring to add detergent directly into the wash drum.
I suggest you read the instruction booklet.
To reset those you need to interrupt the power to the unit, you can do this by finding the breaker it is on and turning it off for a minute or two. Then try again and let us know
i don't know. sounds like a fault in the program. consider unplugging machine for 10 mintes. plug it back in and run a short wash to see if the program has reset itself. if not OK, call for repair estimate then decide if you can live with it as is,-- have someone try to repairit -- or replace it with a new one which may offer extended warranty for $$.
I would try turning off all power to it for few minutes and see if it reset it’s self, before I go to any great expense. Also I had a washer that quit working on one cycle but would work on the others, could try that as well. Hope this helps!
