there is a relay on the pcb that controls the power to the solenoid valve, there are a few of them. but it could also be old school washer witch can be dial control this is when you turn a nob to a setting and it slowly goes back to off. if its this its controlled by this and no relays or pcb boards are on the washer classed as analoge.
Hello Tx_smiths! We are terribly sorry to hear of your concern with your Whirlpool Dishwasher. Please respond back to this email address [email protected] with your name, reviewer name (Tx_smiths), phone number, street address, zip code, model & serial number, and date of purchase on the appliance. We would be happy to assist you. We look forward to your reply.
The sensor that measures moisture content is either covered in lint or it has failed. You need to partially dismantle the unit to completely de-fluff it.
Hi,
One of the arms is either broken or starting to break...check them closely for cracks i the plastic or broken pieces....
better yet would be to just order new oarts and replace them. It is not that hard to do and is very affordable...
A bit late to this but here is how I fixed my dishwasher for about $5 which was:
1. Randomly turning off during cycle
2. Not filling with water (I checked the pumps continuity which was good so I ruled that issue out)
3. After running diagnostics it would occasionally run a full cycle after I filled it with water manualy
I pulled out the Main Control Board W10084142, saw that 2 Capacitors (C131 & C132) were bulging at the top (not flat like the others) so I replaced them for about $5 and the dishwasher works great again! [** This does require very basic soldering skills]
They are rated 1000uf at 6.3 volts and I was only getting a reading of about 150uf. Below is a link for about $5 replacements.
1000uF 6 3V 12 6x10mm Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors 10 PcsHow to get to the control board:
1. Disconnect Power Source at breaker panel.
2. Open Dishwasher door and locate the 6 hex screws that are holding in the control panel face on the backside of the dishwasher door. There will be 2 on each side of the latch and 4 (2 on each side) of the edge towards the top.
3. The face panel should pop off with a little bit of tugging
4. You will see a black cover, remove that to expose the control board
5. Ensure you label the cables with tape or something prior to removal, some require a bit of tug-and-play but will come off. For example, I labeled black wire with white stripe with a + and all black with a -. Ensure you label the control board components if you cant remember where the black with white stripe goes and vice-versa.
6. There will be little gray plastic clips holding everything in, locate these and slowly pry away the board from the plastic.
F8 failure (slow/no draining)
In a consumer cycle, the appliance is indicating F8 E1 (slow/no draining). This is because of wrong signals from the circulation pump read by the control board and interpreted as "water present", when there is no water. During draining (and in fact, there is no water), the failure occurs.
1. Check if drain hose is not closed/clogged
2. Drain pump faulty, harness or wiring faulty, control board faulty
3. If machine is equipped with OWl, issue might be caused by damaged or dirty OWl. Clean the sensor lenses then , if issue is not solved, replace OWI (optical water indicator).

you can repalce the seal, you need to remove the motor to replace the seal(8268397) since your already there id relace the impeller kit(8193951) and the voloute(8531019) as well. looking about 65 bucks in parts
