After installation, the dishwasher would fill and drain but not cycle - I was looking underneath, checking for leaks, looking for anything out of place, and making sure all the connections were good - I touched something that made the dishwasher start up and run. That was the first and last time it has run a full cycle. It will still fill and drain, but not run a cycle. The wife is becoming very perterbed with me! Maytag says they do not support self diagnosis and the guys at Home Depot have no answer either. Any Tips or Hints as to what to look for? Thanks!
Two things to consider....clean water or
dirty water?
Clean water usually indicates the fill valve
is not shutting off all the way and the fill valve is "weeping" water
in all the time = new fill valve time!!
Dirty water usually is not a dishwasher
problem but more of a plumbing issue. Often the sink drain that carries the
sinks water outside is not fast enough and some of this sink water is backing
up into the drain hose and filling up the dishwasher through the drain hose.
The drain from the sink to outside needs attention as this type of a problem
indicates a slow house drain for that sink.
The dishwasher drain line should be clamped to the top underneath part of the counter before entering the sink drain plumbing, this may help the water from coming back inside the dishwasher.
