    Default Kenmore Elite 665.17572202 Troubleshooting Help Please

    First of all let me say Great Forum!

    My Dishwasher takes 3 to 3 1/2 hours to finish. I have read the long cycle time posts and performed the diagnostic test. Here are the results:

    88: All LEDs are on
    d1:Normal Wash LED light is on
    06:Quick Rinse LED light is on
    8: Normal Wash LED light is on
    7: Quick Rinse LED light is on
    6: Normal Wash LED light is on
    5: Quick Rinse LED light is on
    4: Normal Wash LED light is on
    3: Quick Rinse LED light is on
    2: Normal Wash LED light is on - sensing LED is also on
    1: Quick Rinse LED light is on - sensing LED is also on

    It seems as the test runs normal except for stage 2 and stage 1 when the sensing LED is on.

    I also felt the heating element after the diagnostic and it was cold to the touch (I ran the tests 3 times). Also, when I put the ohm meter on the heating element contacts, it read 0. I am thinking that the heating element may be bad, however I am not 100% sure because of the sensing LED being on during stage 2 and stage 1. Any help would be much appreciated.


    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi Andy,

    A normal heating element should read about 10-30 ohms, so you'll need a new heating element.

    On your model it comes with an upgraded control board that will also need to be installed.

    The new control board will fix the stage 2 and stage 1 issues.

    You can order it here:
    Manufacturer's Number: 8194200

    Thanks for the quick response Jake. One thing I noticed is that the dishes are fairly dry after the wash completes, so I think that I may have checked the heating element incorrectly. I did not pull the DW out and OHM it out there, rather I put the leads on the contacts inside the tub. I am going to try pulling it out tonight. I post my findings here later.

    Ok Andy, yes pulling the dishwasher and ohm the heating element directly is the best way for a proper reading.

    Ok, so I pulled the DW out and OHMd out the heating element and sure enough it is open. I am ordering the new element you specified in your previous post Jake. Thanks for all of your help.

    Jake,

    I just wanted to let you know that the dishwasher is working great now! I installed the new heating element and control board in just over an hour and started to wash full load of dishes. It was finished in 1 hour and 15 minutes!
    Thank you again for all of your help.
