20 Most Recent Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel 24" BuiltIn Dishwasher with TurboZone Rotating Spray Jets 13103 - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Hi jerry1413,

Firstly, make sure you are using powdered soap, and not the 3 in 1 tablets. The 3 in 1 Tablets only release certain parts of itself on certain temperatures, and because all dishwashers aren't alike, they won't have the best of results on all makes & models. Cycles aren't run the same way on every Make, and don't follow the same order either. Trust Me ;-) , stick to Powder.

Furthermore, check the following link for some advice and suggestions on getting your dishwasher to clean properly again:

Kind Regards :-)

I'm not familiar with your model of dishwasher but there are some things you can check. Check for buildup on the float and make sure it moves up and down freely. Look for things that can obstruct your pump, like hair. Make sure your outlet hose is not plugged up. Make sure your inlet hose isn't clogged with sand and grit. Most likely your float isn't working right. Good luck

Our dishwasher started leaking. The hose that connects to the pump has a factory installed clamp that came loose. Replaced that and stopped the leak.

Go to Sears, parts, and many times they have the schematics there to pull up and print. This is one of the reasons I keep buying a portable...fixing is a pain when permanent!

you will need to replace the strike and the catch. you can try adjusting it but that probably wont work.

find the tech sheet and ohm out the valve with a multimeter. or pull off the plug, and connect a multimeter to it. select a cycle, hit start, shut door, wait a few minutes and you should be getting 120VAC out of the plug. if the voltage is there and the no water is entering the machine, faulty valve.
