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 Jake

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. Andy |
