20 Most Recent Kenmore 15762 Dishwasher - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Hi

Error e4 on Kenmore usually occurs when there is drain clogging or due to debris stuck in the bottom of the dishwasher. Drain out the excess water from the dishwasher, now remove the mesh and the filter. Now, check and remove any food material or debris stuck. Now pour 1-2 litres of luke warm water and let this water drain. After this replace the parts and run the dishwasher on eco mode without any tablets or soap. Try this 2-3 times and then reset the dishwasher by unplugging it for 5-10 minutes.

Please post back for any further assistance.

You need to add a drying agent to your machine. Find it on the shelf near the dishwqsher detergent products.

the outer nut will twist off may take some force

Check user guide. Check the program you have switched. Two hours or little more is OK. But check your inlet water flow to the machine. If it is slow then also you will get this delay.

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 a large amount of water is being retained in the dishwasher then there is an issue. 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. Has the disposer been replaced recently? If so, chances are the knockout is still in place. Simply remove the drain hose from the disposer, and knock out the plug. If the disposer has not been replaced, try removing the drain hose from the disposer and use a wet-dry vacuum (prepared for water, of course) to **** any water (and hopefully anything else) from the drain line. Then reconnect the hose, and test the unit. If you have checked the air gap and the drain hose and can’t locate the problem, then it is an issue with the drain pump of the dishwasher.

To check the whining noise clean the pump and then check drain hose for any obstruction. Also check for a bad bearing on the spray arm. If still the issue is not resolved then it’s the motor that makes the noise you hear. The motor has bearings in it which may become worn or get rusty. When the bearings get worn, they allow the shaft to wobble which can get quite loud. If there is a spin seal leak, water may get inside the motor, washing the bearing grease away. If the spin seal is leaking, you’ll notice water leaking from under the dishwasher. There is also a disc attached to the top of the motor called a slinger. It sometimes breaks off and spins around the motor's shaft while it turns, causing some noises. You will need to replace the motor if the bearings are bad. You also need to replace the motor if the slinger is broken as well.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about leaking dishwashers...

If water from the sink is backing up while draining it can back up and go into the dishwasher drain.

Float valve is jammed.

Look inside the machine on the floor will be a small float valve. Looks like a small upside down cup. Lift it and clear anything from underneath.

The valve is a safety feature to stop the machine from over filling. If anything gets under the valve it will jam open and stop the machine.

Not working?

Check for a clog internal or external.

Scoop as much water our as you can. Open the cover on the floor of the machine. Usually just turns and lifts out or snaps out some are screwed in. Take your time and try not to force anything. Look for a clog there.

Check for clog in the drain. The dishwasher will connect to the drain under your sink and run either directly to the drain or into your disposal unit. Remove open the connections and look for a clog. Clear if necessary.

Not the clog?

Water is pumped out by the machine via an internal pump located under the base. If it fails the water will collect until it trips the float valve. First scoop out all the water from the machine and run it again. If water comes in and it runs to the point it fills again and trips the float then either the pump or timer is faulty.

Pump check.

Remove the machine. It will be held in place by screws directly into the counter top. You may have to lower it to get it out. The front feet turn with a wrench to lower.

Turn off the water supply. Run the unit again until you get to the drain cycle.

Connect a test light or voltage tester to the terminals at the pump. Check for voltage at the pump. If you have voltage replace the pump. If no voltage the timer is faulty.

Timer problem?
Some can be replaced as a unit others are integral to the control panel. Turn style can be replaced. Touch control can not.

Mkae sure you are running kitchen hot water faucet before starting dish washer. If not you are getting mostly a cold water wash thru out the cycle. Also make sure the jet dry dispenser is full. Always use the liquid jet dry as the small cubes you can get do not work nearly as well.

E1 indicated long filling time. Perhaps the inlet filter has clogged. Check the inlet pipe and tap(faucet in usa).

1. open the bottom panel 2-4 screw
2. take a flashlight and turn the machine on
3. see where it come from
4. if you need take the unit out a bit from the counter
5. check it all around to find the sorce of the leak
6. good luck its EZ :)
   

Yes its probably the little latch that holds the door closed thats worn out.

Hi, By the description I would suspect a open/tripped thermal fuse or what can sometimes be referred to as a bi-metal, it really depend's on the model and who you talk to. The most common by far for kenmore is # 8193762 and retail's for about $15-$20. Hope that help's. If so please rate the solution provided to you here at fixya. Thank you and good luck. Macmarkus :)

Temperature sensor / thermostat problem...

It sounds like the circuit bontrol board is cracked or shorted, which means it must be replaced.

Spring is probably to the door or to the frame. This is usually what gives the tension for the door to snap back in place. There will be a series of holes on the bottom of the frame where the spring locks in. Remove the kick plate and shine with a flashlight to see where the other side is and put it in the same hole.

go to searspartsdirect.com and enter your model number found on the inner tub or inner door side, then search for the part(s) you need. You will need to remove the outer door panel to replace the dispenser assy, make sure you do with the power off.
