Probably because it requires a different electrical current. Is your machine made to run on 220 volts? If so, it will not work on regular 110 volts (standard household current). You'll need to have a special line and outlet to power 220. The outlets are different because you really don't want to be plugging a 110v appliance into a 220v outlet, or vice versa.
If you had a fault in your neutral wire the voltage may have raised to near 220 volts and fried the circuitboard. Replave the circuitboard or replace the thermistor on it. Double check the voltage and the connections where it is wired under the dishwasher.
No - the outside temperature will not shut the AC down.
You say the outlet has power? Does it have the needed 220 volts? Most of the time 220 volts is on one switch, (that operates both 110 volt legs of power at the same time). - but sometimes each leg is on a separate breaker and if "one leg" trips you will still have power at the outlet (110 volts) but you won't have the needed 220 volts. While this is not likely - it is possible - so I would want to test the outlet with a voltage tester and determine the voltage. You might try checking in your breaker box and seeing if another breaker (110volt) is tripped. The same thing applies if you are dealing with fuses instead of breakers - determine the voltage at the outlet - and if you don't have 220 and only have 110 then look for a blown fuse or as I said above - a breaker tripped.
If you do have 220 at the outlet and nothing is running - I would be looking for an inline fuse of some sort within in the unit. Many of the newer units have them and they are usually easy to spot and all you have to do is to unscrew the fuse holder and replace the blown fuse. Be sure to have the power off when handling fuses.
Note: Be aware that while breakers/fuses can trip and blow without a serious problem going on - they (blown fuses/tripped breakers) are usually a sign of something significantly wrong with the unit.
Good Luck!
Depends ... what is 'normal house voltage' where you live?
If you are installing a new electric dryer in the USA, typically, they operate at 220 Volts. If there is no special outlet at the place where you want to use the dryer, you will have to have an electrician install the proper gage wire and outlet for you. Expect to pay up to $200.00 or more for this installation from the house main panel to the dryer location.
If there is a gas line at the location, you may want to consider exchanging your electric for a gas model.
your voltage is not right as it should be 220 volts, check the outlet to see if you have 220 if you do then its the cord, if not then it is either the outlet or the breaker-panel, to check panel remove panel and test both legs of the breaker you should have 220 if not then replace the 30 amp breaker.

First make sure you have power to the dishwasher, breaker or fuse is good, outlet (if so equipped) is powered etc.
If you have not lost power to the dishwasher then the most likely failure that causes this would be the thermal fuse that
is located in the console.
It
is a temperature controlled device that can trip if there is a lot of
heat in the control area.
If you want to tackle the repair it is
not too difficult and requires a basic understanding of electricity and
an ohmmeter.
The part number for the fuse is 675813 and is about $10.00. It is located right behind the buttons on the control panel, here is a picture of the part.
yes, it sounds like a fuse, or a circuit breaker tripped, or, if it is a plug-in connection, it may have come unplugged(outlet usually under sink. Might also have a loose connection in dishwasher connection box ..CAREFUL HERE;VOLTAGE MAY BE PRESENT!!! ...IT MAYBE THE DOOR IS NOT FULLY PUSHED IN TO ENGAGE SAFETY SWITCH
If you checked the voltage at the terminal block on the back of the dryer while it was plugged in, you should have gotten the following readings:
RED to BLACK = 220-240VAC
RED to NEUTRAL (White) = 110-120VAC
BLACK to NEUTRAL (White) = 110-120VAC
NOTE: If the wires are not color coded at the terminal block, the OUTER two wires (LEFT and RIGHT) are the HOT leads and the center conductor is the NEUTRAL.
If you got anything other than these readings, you may have a bad power cord or a service breaker tripped. Some homes use two separate breakers to make up the 220 service instead of one single 220 breaker. If one breaker is tripped, the dryer may or may not start, depending on which leg it is. Can you please confirm your readings?
You need to confirm you have the proper input voltage before assuming you have any bad components.
Bruce,
It would be great to know the model number of your your Kenmore Ultra wash dishwasher, please look on the right hand side of the door for a model/serial number if possible.
First steps:
With no power, please check how the dishwasher gets power. If it is plugged in to an outlet under the sink, please confirm that it is plugged in fully. If that does not fix the problem and if it is plugged in, remove the dishwasher plug and plug in any lamp or small appliance and make sure it turns on.
If no power at the outlet, check the house circuit box for a tripped breaker/blown fuse. Also, check if any of the outlets have GFI (Ground Fault Interupt) circuit protection. Reset that outlet (even if it is not not the same outlet as the dishwasher is plugged in to.
Next steps:
If the dishwasher is connected to a live circuit but still does not work, a component in the dishwasher has probably failed and a service call is in order. Or replacement of the dishwasher, depending on its age.
