Whirlpool wdf320padb3 dishwasher will not run a complete cycle. It will start, fill up with water and seem to get hot, but stalls from there. It will drain completely if select the button. I’ve checked the drain lines, cleaned out filter, but no luck. Any idea what might be wrong?
Hi, Have you checked the water temp in the dishwasher hot water supply line? The temp of the hot water supply should be 120 F If the inlet supply temp is OK there may be a problem with hi limit thermostat. Can you hear if the dishwasher is running the wash cycle? Are the dishes getting wet, especially the top rack? If not there may be a problem with the wash pump
Hi @Keith Turner, That late in the cycle I’m wondering if there is a problem with the heater. It may be the start of the drying cycle and I think that the heater is turned on to ensure good drying, but I may be wrong about this. ;-) It could also be a faulty thermistor (or sensor), part #25 pump and motor parts diagram but this is less likely I think as it monitors the water temp at the start of the wash as well. But maybe still worth checking. The tech sheet gives the details - see Note 2 diagnostic cycle time chart notes Try running the diagnostics using the Tech Sheet - 8537797 - Rev C for the dishwasher and see if you get any error codes. (see p.2 bottom right side) Hopefully this may be of some help.
