Seems to always have wash cycle on and does not rinse

If you can provide me with a model number, I can assist you.

It seems that you are out of cycle; meaning you are washing on rinse phase and the you are not getting water on rinse because you are at the end of the cycle. Try this; set the washer to the end of the rinse cycle, let it spin and stop. then wait 1/2 hour then start a wash you will be at the beginning of a new wash cycle..

Consult Warranty from manual. Probably needs a new controller.

Possible that the dispenser drawer is out of alignment or is the suspect. You can remove and check the mountings

Hello,

The rinse agent dispenser holds up to 8 ounces of rinse agent and only 2-3 small teardrop sized drops are added in the rinse cycle ,thats all it takes per cycle so a full dispenser could take 2-6 months to become empty depending on how often ya run the dishwasher.
As far as some detergent remaining,check the filter in the bottom of the tub for some blockage,if the water cant spray forcefully because its hard getting into the pump from filter blockage it cant wash that well

I hope this helps

ck the cold water is on / ck the water valve . this would stop it in cycle . it can't get rinse water . maybe pc control but unlikley.mm

the rinse cycle is almost always slower because it is only using cold water - if you try cold wash, cold rinse, they should be the same flow- cold is used for rinse because it reduces suds better

HI, this is a Door Open Error.

Possible Causes are..-

* Door not all the way closed
* Loose electrical connections at door switch and pwb assembly(Control Board)
* Door switch assembly is out of order(Miss aligned)
* Gasket on door may be creased in

Most common issue here will be a defective door lock switch. check all causes before replacing the switch.

I was partially wrong on my diagnosis. No cold water enters on either the wash or the rinse cycles. I also heard odd noises from the inlet valves. I realized the cold water valve was not opening. I've ordered the mixing valve and plan to replace it as soon as it comes in.

could be a broken 2nd rinse switch. contacts would not open up.

the noise could be coming from the gears inside the timer slipping.

if it is a kenmore, usually, it has these plastic cover on each side of the control panel. pry it slowly and lift it to exposed a screw that is holding the panel.

tnx 4 using fixya,
