Rinse off the float, replace it in the tube, and make sure it moves up and down freely.ĭishwasher Parts Diagram ©Don Vandervort, HomeTips Many floats require disconnection from below to do this you’ll have to remove the lower access panel. Lift out the float mechanism, and clean around the float tube. When you move most types of floats up and down, you can hear them click because their spring-loaded action trips a lever. The float is usually a small plastic dome or cylinder mounted inside at the tub’s base, near the front. When the dishwasher is cool (in other words, not right after a wash cycle), look for the float inside the dishwasher. If you can’t think of any reason this would have been turned off since the last time the dishwasher worked, go on to the next step.Ģ Turn off the power to the dishwasher.

If your dishwasher runs but doesn’t fill, either something is wrong with the water supply system or it is draining water too soon.

To test a receptacle for power, just plug a working hand-held appliance into it.Ģ Check the electrical panel that serves the dishwasher for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. In the condition where the receptacle doesn’t have a reset, or where the dishwasher’s cord is hard-wired directly into the electrical box, look for another receptacle nearby that has a reset and try resetting it. Reset the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). If the receptacle has a reset button, push the reset. Check to see if that outlet is a GFCI receptacle with a reset button. Look where the dishwasher’s cord plugs into a receptacle, usually under the sink. If absolutely nothing happens-in other words, nothing on the control panel lights up and there are no other signs of life-the appliance may not be receiving power.

On your dishwasher at home you may have a full height door, or you may have one with a false drawer front with a door below it. We often get asked "What type of door is needed for an integrated dishwasher?" And "What is the difference between an integrated appliance door and a standard door.?" There is no difference between the doors - they are exactly the same, it’s really the way that they attach to the appliance that sets them aside from a normal door.
