The power in the complexes where I live went off and on about 5 times in less than 2 minutes, right after it came back the dishwasher GE Profile series PDW9880 was waking a VERY loud beep and it s a continuous one, none stop, tried EVERYTHING, new circuit breaker, brand new circuit board/timer, the noise is till, ANY suggestion
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?

Power off then continuous alarm. unpluged the white and black wires on right lower side of control box. alarm stopped. the control panel has no power to it. no lights or buttons work.Power off then continuous alarm. unpluged the white and black wires on right lower side of control box. alarm stopped. the control panel has no power to it. no lights or buttons work.
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.

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.
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.
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.
1. Four beeps every 30seconds (On Battery LED will be illuminated) This alarm indicates that the Battery PowerSupplied outlets are now supplying battery power as opposed to power from theutility. If the UPS determines that the input utility power is unsafe for yourcomputer equipment, the UPS will switch to battery power. Note: Ifthe power disturbance is brief, you may only hear one or two beeps.
2. Continuous Beeping (On Battery LED will beilluminated) This alarm indicates that a Low Batterycondition has been reached and that the UPS will soon shutdown. Once the UPStransfers to On Battery operation, it can only stay on battery for a limitedamount of time. The UPS will sound this alarm about two minutes before thebatteries are totally exhausted. Once exhausted, the UPS will shutdown and turnoff its output power to your equipment. If you hear this tone you shouldimmediately shutdown your computer to prevent data loss or corruption.
3. Continuous Beeps for 30 seconds (BackUPS OFFICE 250 and 280 ONLY) This alarm indicates the unit has detected anOverload condition after it has performed a self-test during start-up.
4. Continuous Two-Tone Beep This alarm indicates a severe Overload wasdetected while the unit was on-battery operation. This tone will continue tosound until the unit shuts down.
5. Continuous Tone (On Battery LED will beflashing) This alarm indicates that the battery-poweredoutlets are overloaded.
6. Continuous Tone (On Line and On BatteryLEDs flashing) Back UPS OFFICE 350,400, and 500 ONLY This alarm indicates that an internal UPS faulthas occurred.
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!

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.
The Back-UPS Office unit has five different tones or alarms:
1. Four beeps every 30 seconds (On Battery LED will be illuminated) This alarm indicates that the Battery Power Supplied outlets are now supplying battery power as opposed to power from the utility. If the UPS determines that the input utility power is unsafe for your computer equipment, the UPS will switch to battery power. Note: If the power disturbance is brief, you may only hear one or two beeps.
2. Continuous Beeping (On Battery LED will be illuminated) This alarm indicates that a Low Battery condition has been reached and that the UPS will soon shutdown. Once the UPS transfers to On Battery operation, it can only stay on battery for a limited amount of time. The UPS will sound this alarm about two minutes before the batteries are totally exhausted. Once exhausted, the UPS will shutdown and turn off its output power to your equipment. If you hear this tone you should immediately shutdown your computer to prevent data loss or corruption.
3. Continuous Beeps for 30 seconds (Back UPS OFFICE 250 and 280 ONLY) This alarm indicates the unit has detected an Overload condition after it has performed a self-test during start-up.
4. Continuous Two-Tone Beep This alarm indicates a severe Overload was detected while the unit was on-battery operation. This tone will continue to sound until the unit shuts down.
5. Continuous Tone (On Battery LED will be flashing) This alarm indicates that the battery-powered outlets are overloaded.
6. Continuous Tone (On Line and On Battery LEDs flashing) Back UPS OFFICE 350, 400, and 500 ONLY This alarm indicates that an internal UPS fault has occurred.
I think the msg you are seeing is just the default monitor message when there is no video to display. Here is a list of common beep codes: Are you getting the one long beep at each restart?
