20 Most Recent Kenmore 24 in. 17482 / 17484 / 17489 Built-in Dishwasher - Page 4 Questions & Answers

There is a thermal fuse located behind the operator console on nearly all Kenmore or Whirlpool manufactured dishwashers. There were some noted problems with certain model dishwashers where the wire gauge on the thermal fuse was too small and would heat up causing the thermal fuse to blow prematurely. There is a replacement kit available that includes a wire harness with a larger gauge wire that you simply splice in place. It handles current better and prevents the fuse from blowing prematurely. To ease your mind, there were no reports of fire hazard.

If you need to view a diagram of your dishwasher, enter your model number at the website mentioned for some excellent exploded view illustrations. The thermal fuse is usually listed under the "Control Panel Parts" heading.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

If the green clean light flashes, that means there was a failure to heat the water properly.

Here is a link to some instructions I have on how to reset this and what caused it.

Clean Light Flashing

Let me know if this does not work and if not which light is flashing for you.

Thanks

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

Flashing clean light is reset by pressing two buttons in sequence 3-4 times, to reset your kenmore press these buttons in sequence:

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

magtag clean light stay on will not turn off will not start up

It could be the circuit board

what is your model number is then we can get started then okay

it sounds like you have a power surge from one of the components on the main pcb/circuit board, if you can get hold of mains tester or know someone with one you can set the cycle then test each component as it goes through its cycle and the problem part will show on the metre, the down side to this sort of problem is its usually as expensive for most of the part as it is for a new pcb, hope this helps

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 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 rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.

Thanks

Possible that the diswasher control panel is not in order and is a suspect. remove power for some to reset the board. Try with different program and if the same action continues check with the panel board before you can think of swapping to confirm the case.

reset the control panel and bend down door latch slightly

You have to remove the bottom panel of the Dishwasher to get the problem solved. For More information please visit Ice Machine Cleaner.
