    We have the PDW7880J03ss. I'm not sure if we had a power surge or not. I turn off the power to dishwasher with a switch and it was off. When I went to turn it on to run a load, the continuous beep began and continued as long as power was on. I opened the front and found the cord to unplug to make it stop, but couldn't figure out the cause of the problem. If I knew what it was, I could replace the part. Any ideas? I hate this dishwasher, by the way. We've had it 3 years and it's already been serviced. Apparently a spill got inside and needed to be cleaned a bit. What kind of dishwasher has a non-sealed part to it's insides, especially when installed next to the sink where it's possible that water flows over the counter into the dishwasher?

I'm the one who posted on May 23. I tried turning off the breakers and it was still beeped when powered back on. I ordered a new touchpad and control module. When I replaced the touchpad, the beeping was gone, but not all the buttons worked, so I changed out the control module, too, and it works:) I'm going to put clear caulk along the top to prevent spills from leaking through the front panel.

Dell beep codes

Hi,
If the system is beeping thrice in continuous loop with POWER LED blinking then it could be due to :
1)Chipset Error (North and South Bridge Chipset, DMA/IMR/Timer Error for Intel platform); Chipset Error
2)Time-Of-Day Clock test failure.
3)Gate A20 failure
4)Super I/O chip failure
5)Keyboard controller test failure

To Sum it up : System board failure

You can call Dell Tech Support and check for repair options:18772931197 , you can also check with Local Tech.

You can try releasing flee(static) power and check
Let me know.
Thanks.

3 log beeps on power on

Gigabyte doesn't list 3 long beeps as an error code, so I'm not sure if you're actually getting 3 short beeps or maybe 1 long and 2 short or... But, for reference, Gigabyte's error code list is as follows (depending on whether you have an AWARD BIOS or an AMI):

(AWARD BIOS)
1 short beep: System normal
2 short beep: CMOS Error
1 long beep and 1 short beep: Memory error
1 long beep and 2 short beep: Graphic card error
1 long beep and 3 short beep: AGP error
1 long beep and 9 short beep: Memory Error
Continuous long beep: Memory not correctly installed
Continuous short beep: Power supply unit failed

(AMI BIOS)
1 short beep: Memory Error
2 short beep: Memory parity check error.
3 short beep: Basic memory 64K address check error
4 short beep: Real Time Clock malfunction .
5 short beep: CPU error
6 short beep: Keyboard error
7 short beep: CPU interruption error
8 short beep: Graphic card error
9 short beep: Memory error
10 short beep: CMOS error
11 short beep: CPU cache memory malfunction

It might not be a lot of help, but it's somewhere to start... and at least this way you'll know what to be listening for.

I have a whirlpool double oven. Last week it beeped 5 or 6 times and the display went black. Nothing would work. I determined that the electronic control was bad. I replace the electronic control today...

Control Power Transformer
Primary Wiring: P16-5 (R) to P16-7 (R) = 75 ohms to 95 ohms
Secondary Wiring: P16-2 (BU) to P16-3 (BU) = Less than 1 ohms
If the control has power and is good, you should see the clock.
Double check your connections...just in case.

We had a power outage for about 45 minutes a few days ago. Ever since then the Powerware 3110 has been beeping. I turned it off and left it plugged in overnight and when I turned it back on the beeping...

This could be several things, fortunately the device should actually be helping you to diagnose the issue. There are different beeps for different issues. They are as follows:

1 Beep Every 5 Seconds = Power Outage\Loose Plug Connection\Tripped Circuit Breaker\Power Cord Damage or Failure

2 Beeps Every 5 Seconds = Low Battery Alarm

3 Beeps Every 5 Seconds = Battery Needs Charging\Service\Replacement

3 Beeps Every 5 Minutes = The Battery is discharged and battery power is unavailable (If this continues battery replacement may be necessary)

1 Beep Ever 1/2 Second = Power Requirements exceed the UPS Capacity (remove some equipment to lighten the load on the unit)

Continuous Beep = Short Circuit / Input Voltage out of Range / UPS Fault (Likely replacement of entire unit)

That should help diagnose the actual issue. If it turns out the battery needs to be replaced they can be found online for around $20. A simple google search for Powerware 3110 Battery should return what you're after. Good luck!

Samsung Cool Tech Dynamic not cooling properly

Alan if the power was off for less than 5 minutes the compressor high pressure went to the low side and the compressor just will not start. The thermal overload Klixon will click about every 8 or 9 minutes and the compressor will not start.
Unplug it for about 30 minutes and then plug it back to see if it lites off and runs correctly.
As for the control panel... (fingers crossed) hopefully it is a symtom of the compressor not starting. Again unplug it for 30 minues and restart it after that. It just may get things back to normal without any repair service.
