My Whirlpool Gold,quiet partner 3,model GU2400XTPT6 dishwasher runs the pre-rinse cycle & drains then just hums and doesn't run the wash cycle. Any help?

Here is a link to your units inside the tub part I will need you to check.

it is part number 15 on the drawing. it is called the float. it is located inside of the tub....open the door and usually is on the left hand side. Is it domed in shape.

it sounds as if all the cycles are running normal but the float is stuck in the up position telling the drain pump to continue draining...that may be why you hear a constant hummm because the drain pump is being told there is still water in the tub to be drained when in fact there is none.

This float may be stuck in the up position. Manually lift it up and down and see if it moves freely. While moving it listen carefully for a clicking sound....this is a switch that actuates the draining and or filling process.When float is in the down position it tells the water valve that it is safe to send water. When the float is in the up position it is telling the water valve not to send anymore water.

If you can hear a clicking sound when manually moving the float the switch may be o.k. but should still be checked with a ohm meter. The float when moved up and down must not hang up in the up position....it must go back down.



Or run another normal wash and when you hear the hummming again open the door and see in what position the float is in. if it is in the up position we know that is our issue.



Please post your findings....

Is the float in the down position or the up position? Is the float in the down position or the up position?

Sounds as if the control may not be telling the cycle to stop and then continue.
Are there any error codes displayed or blinking lights? Sounds as if the control may not be telling the cycle to stop and then continue. Are there any error codes displayed or blinking lights?

Can you read a volt meter? We will need to start taking readings off the control board Can you read a volt meter? We will need to start taking readings off the control board

whatever you want to do...let me know. If you do not have electrical experience I strongly suggest that you leave it to someone that does. You will be measuring live current/power.
I'll be here tonight if needed.Just leave me a post ok? whatever you want to do...let me know. If you do not have electrical experience I strongly suggest that you leave it to someone that does. You will be measuring live current/power. I'll be here tonight if needed.Just leave me a post ok?

Here is a link to show the first part that needs to be checked. It is the float switch. Check for continuity. When engaged the switch must change states.Ensure the unit is off and one wire is disconnected when testing.

Click on the link http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdir...



If switch checks good please proceed to the diagnostics test below.



Press the following in sequence

HEATED DRY → NORMAL → HEATED DRY → NORMAL → HEATED DRY → NORMAL



This test will go through and check componenets....it can be advanced with the start key.An error will appear if the test detects a problem with the function running.



A better idea.....email me and I will email you back the service manual. it would take me forever to input everything in this dialogue box....[email protected]

That way we can both be looking at the same data. Read over the diagnostics....if we get nothing from it we will than concentrate our efforts on the control panel All schematics are in this manual.

Hi again,

If that is the case there is one more factor to rule out to confirm it is indeed a inlet valve. If you can, turn the water off which supplies the dishwasher, start as you would on a rinse, normal, any cycle and if you hear the same "humming" sound as you did prior, replace the valve. It should be available at places such as "repairclinic.com" or "searpartsdirect.com" to name a couple. Let me know if you require assitance in performing that repair and I'll help in any manner I can. Good luck.
