Kenmore Dishwasher Is Not Working (Repair)

Customers don’t expect that dishwasher will break after two or three years of usage. Unfortunately, breakdowns may happen because of not correct maintenance, overloading or some other issues. All-in-all, the owners will have to track the origins of the trouble and eliminate them. Users often experience improper work of the heat dry. Here you are the factors and parts of the dishwasher that are guilty in the issue. A vent is the first item to malfunction. The vent might not be opening properly. As the dishes are drying, many dishwashers use a vent to let out the hot, steamy air generated during the rinse cycle. If the vent does not open properly, the dishwasher will leave moisture on the dishes. Check the vent to ensure that it is opening properly. Some dishwashers use a vent fan motor to help dry the dishes at the end of the cycle. If the fan motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t dry the dishes properly. To determine if the fan motor has failed, test the motor for continuity. Also, try turning the fan blade by hand to ensure that it spins freely. If the fan motor has burned out or the fan blade won’t turn smoothly, replace the vent fan motor. Dishwashers can use a heating element to heat the dishwasher during the drying cycle. If the heating element assembly has failed, the dishwasher won’t dry dishes properly. To determine if the heating element assembly has burned out, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the heating element assembly does not have continuity, replace it. When part of your dishwasher is broken, address the issue quickly, so it doesn’t continue to break down and potentially cause other, more expensive issues. You can avoid shelling out the costs of future dishwasher repairs with a home warranty.
