Question about Dishwashers

1 Answer

Dishwasher has no lights but constantly draining/pumping sound with water.

Hi, my Artist dishwasher was doing a cycle normally but when I came back the lights were all off and it was making a constantly pumping/draining sound. It would only stop when the power is plugged, when the power is plugged it continues. There are no lights, none of the buttons work, there is a small water spraying when I check the bottom of the drain. There is nothing stuck.

It's possible that there may be an issue with the control board or the door switch on your dishwasher. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

  1. Check the door switch: Make sure that the door switch is engaging properly. If the switch is faulty, it may be preventing the dishwasher from starting up properly.
  2. Check the control board: Look for any signs of damage or burning on the control board. If the board appears to be in good condition, you can try resetting it by turning off the power to the dishwasher for a few minutes and then turning it back on.
  3. Check the drain hose and filter: Make sure that the drain hose and filter are not clogged. If they are, this can cause the dishwasher to continue pumping out water.
  4. Check the float switch: The float switch is responsible for monitoring the water level in the dishwasher. If it is stuck in the "up" position, it may be causing the dishwasher to think that there is too much water and continue pumping.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

My samsung dishwasher has a constant buzz that occurs during start up and lasts through all of the cycles. I saw where there is an electrical noise filter and did not know if that could be the cause.
No a noise filter is a different kettle of fish. That stops electrical interference noise from affecting your television, radios and electrical devices.

The most likely source of the hum is the start capacitor on the motor, or the motor itself.

This has a different idea

Humming or Grinding If your Samsung dishwasher makes noise when starting that sounds like a low hum, it's part of normal function. The motor makes this sound as it operates throughout the wash cycle. However, a dishwasher making loud humming noise or grinding sounds could mean that debris is caught in the drain pump.

Samsung Dishwasher Making Noise? Follow These Tips

This says the drain pump, but the drain pump only runs to empty out so it wouldn't do it all the time.

Low water level
Try to unstick the float. The float tells the DW how much water is in it at any given time. It is shaped like a mushroom on the bottom of the DW basin. Gently pick it up and set it back down. Does it seem free? Try the cycle again.

Water sits in bottom
If water does not drain at all then the drain pump could be blocked.
If only a little water is remaining but cycle is complete, then this is normal.
However, do check the kitchen drain is clear and you do not have a garbage disposer (insinkerator) in sink which is full. Normally empty it before you start the dishwasher.
Do you get any alarms (lights flashing etc)

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Dishwasher not draining properly or not draining at all issues can arise due to different reasons. Usually, these issues are related to kinked hoses, knocked out disposer unit (if connected with the dishwasher drain hose) & clogged drain pump & filter. Also note that dishwashers do not drain completely after a finished cycle and this is normal. Dishwashers are designed to leave some water in the unit to ensure that the heating element doesn’t overheat. If you suddenly begin to experience a large amount of water being retained in your dishwasher, you have a problem. Some of the most common reasons include that the drain hose isn’t working properly, the drain pump isn’t working correctly, or possibly there is a plumbing problem in your home’s drain lines. First check whether the drain is not clogged or blocked and the line is not kinked. Check all the hoses for blockages & also clean the air gap. If still the issue is not resolved then to resolve this you will have to reset the console. Do this by closing the door and press these buttons in sequence...

-high temp wash
-heated dry
-high temp wash
-heated dry


If you have checked the drain hose and can’t locate the problem, then it is an issue with the drain pump of the dishwasher. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

There is a recall on the control board of many of these models, butyour problem is likely not related. It sounds like a plugged drain system or a possible bad drain pump. That's why you are hearing the pump running constantly. I have written a guide to help. It is here. Thanks!

Dishwasher not spraying
It could be a motor or a pump issue. The dishwasher has a motor that attached to a pump which forces the water up into the sprayer arms and during the drain cycle, it pushes the water out of the dishwasher. The motor (and pump) located beneath the dishwasher. Good luck!

Bosch dishwasher lights turn off when running, but are on again when door opens SHV46C03UC/21 I replaced the control board with new OEM board last week, because heater relay was blown. Dishwasher now works fine and runs normal length of time. For this family of dishwashers, the buttons and red lights are on top of the door Bosch SHV46C family; full model name shown above. A thing I noticed is that the red wash indicator lights now turn off when I close the door and start DW running. When finished, no lights are on either. BUT, when I open the door at end the proper lights turn on again indicating dishes are clean and cycle that was selected. So, indicator lights are correct except they all turn off when DW running and door closed. With the original board, the indicator lights would stay on when running and I could see them. 1. Is this some change to the latest board that I just have to learn to live with? This DW was made ~19 years ago. 2. Or, is there a way I needed to program the replacement control board I installed to this specific model? Regarding #2, I'm asking this because I have read that some control boards need to be programmed to the certain Bosch model, but I'm not sure if this one needs it. I ran test mode for original and new board, and I think this new board passed because it did not show any error code with a solid indicator light, though one indicator light was flashing which I think just meant it was still in test mode until I powered it off. Thanks, Chris
