This is a serious safety issue. Turn the power off to the dish washer at the source; either unplug it from the wall receptacle if there is one or turn the circuit breaker off that provides power to the dish washer. You need to inspect all the wiring to the dish washer, making sure there are no loose wire connections, or broken wires. Especially check the neutral wires, those are the white wires , making there are no loose connections or breaks. If yo can not locate the problem, leave the power off, and call in an electrcian.

It sounds to me as though you may have a bare wire giving a direct short to the system.therefore by having a hot wire grounding out on the dishwasher body, it is running that current to the dishwasher body where if you touch the dishwasher you will recieve a shock.this also doesnt allow the electricity to go to where it is needed to power your appliance.

My kitchen aid dishwasher won’t turn on and I don’t know where the reset button is

Check the fuse box down stairs. A dish washer is hard wired to the main fuse panel. With the panel shut off at that breaker, pull the dish washer out from the counter and look for a reset on the place the wires go into the dishwasher. a lot of dishwashers have faulty switches internal to them. Have you used a volt meter before? If no, call an appliance repair person. if yes check the AC volts at the input wires.That would be with the power switched on at the breaker. The door switch is the next thing to test. at this point you may need to determine if the unit is cost effective to repair.

Kenmore dish washer Mod-665.13039K114 not draining

It is either a bad pump or a bad control head. Unless you are good at appliance repair, I would call Sears service.

The pots and pans and the normal light blinks but nothing happens

most likely you have a bad touch pad,you can first try this,shut the power down to the dish washer,open it up and unplug the ribbon from the touch pad that goes to the control board,unplug it off of the board for 5 minutes and then reconnect it the same way it came off and then run it and see if it repaired it,if not you'll need a new touch pad.hope this helps,one more thing,on the back of the kickplate or bottom panel has a tech sheet on the back of the panel,you can check it with the diagnostics to see what part is bad but most likely it will be the touch pad.good luck with your dish washer.

I have a Kenmore 417.44102300 front load washer. Yesterday as it approached final spin the drum was spinning at top speed as it usually does and all of a sudden it was like something let go and it started...

Possibly a broken bracket we see this happen frequently, with this type of model the parts are kinda high for this repair, look at picture in bubble.could be the shocks I don't think so.fgonzalez278.png

Kenmore dishwasherwill not drain.

you didnt say if the motor was making any noise. this sounds like a motor/ pump problem. if you are handy with tools you could take the pump off to see if its plugged/jammed. start at the pump. dont try any repairs you are not sure of. PLEASE always shut off the curcuit breaker before you attempt any repairs

4 yr old washer has started banging around violently during wash cycle. Then during the rinse cycle when it starts to slam it will usually shut down with and error of UL. What could be the cause and can it...

Check the Vibration damper rods to be sure that...
1. They are there and mount is solid.
2. If they are broken in 1/2.
3. The plastic knuckle mounts are not missing/broken.
4. There is oil in the shock absorber/spring section of the rods.

Also - there are suspension springs on the bottom of the tub that could be broken and/or missing.

Replace/repair as necessary.

Kenmore Washer 4410 won't spin

Some wires may have come loose. Maybe your belt could have come off. First replace the two shocks carefully seeing how they were fitted in.
