Ha ha ha. Nothing like having to pull the entire tub off the frame to change a wash motor, heater or their sensors. Big POS.Get a Bosch and be done with it.
Calling a Bosch DW a big POStuff?Ha ha ha. Nothing like having to pull the entire tub off the frame to change a wash motor, heater or their sensors. Big POS.
Not to mention the one-color wiring bundles of brown and yellow.
Only Whirlpool built stuff in my house.
On the no fill issue the float switch may or may not cut power to the fill valve. Wiring diagram / tech sheet should be attached to the back of the toe panel.
That odd ball raised installation is a nightmare '80's thing. Along with cabinet makers trimming every little crack and crevice due to OCD.
Multiple homes, rentals, relatives, friends experiencing death of Whirlpool and others in 50 years has driven us to Bosch DWs.46 years as a on-site tech working on Bosch appliances gives me gravitas.
The thing you speak of is not necessarily reliability. Your earned respect is relative MTTR. I have zero knowledge there because I’ve never had to repair a Bosch.46 years as a on-site tech working on Bosch appliances gives me gravitas.
Well the house was built in 2000 or 2001 and I think the kitchen was redone at some point.Ha ha ha. Nothing like having to pull the entire tub off the frame to change a wash motor, heater or their sensors. Big POS.

I'm thinking the float or the timer. When I worked maintenance we had dishwashers fail repeatedly. It was usually the timer which would cause the diverter valve to overheat and fail.My Whirlpool dishwasher will not fill with water. It's run fine for years. Then this started. It happened a week or two ago and I fooled with cycles, moved float up and down (was down and not stuck) and it worked for a few days. Now it back to not filling. Don't have little kids who might hide under the sink and turn water supply off.
So it does seem to move through the cycles and ends. Display goes off. But no washing of dishes.
Replaced the fill valve solenoid and no help.
So there is a float valve micro switch, door micro switch and control board.
I think if the door micro switch were not working it would not move through the cycles.
So float micro switch or control board. I ordered both.
I can test float micro switch with ohm meter. I am guessing when the float is down the micro switch is closed. So if the micro switch failed open then it would never let in water.
Assuming that's not the issue then control board. There are three control boards. But two handle the display and buttons.
I cannot find a real appliance tech trouble shooting guide. Talked to Whirlpool and they do not have one, at least not that they will share with me.
Other ideas.
And you’re getting voltage to the solenoid when the dishwasher is supposed to fill?Well the old one was not open nor a dead short so coil is probably OK. Since new one did not fix the problem an educated guess is that they are both OK as far as coil and valve go.
I can hear the water coming and the slight bang in the water system when the valve closes.And you’re getting voltage to the solenoid when the dishwasher is supposed to fill?
I guess that I’m a lucky one. I have a 10.5 year old Whirlpool and it’s still going strong.Welcome to the disposable appliance era. Today if you get 10 years from a dishwasher, you're lucky.
Ok. I am unlucky. In past month, dishwasher broke, lawn mower half broke, root canal, colonoscopy and the absolute worst thing, my Mason dog (another thread) had to be put to sleep.I guess that I’m a lucky one. I have a 10.5 year old Whirlpool and it’s still going strong.
Because they are quiet and they last. Some models rinse better than others and all have the same drain mesh that cannot be neglectedThe top 10 dishwashers in Consumer Reports are all Bosch. Whirlpool is there but down aways in the rankings.
Off topic The plumber came back and replaced the whole pipe with new.. including a ball valve that was crusty and should have been replaced anyway.side story new gas water heater that plumber installed at the MIL's leaks.
Plumber moved the expansion tank to a 3 way right on top of the water heater.
Old location plugged and drips.. for 10days before I got over to look at it.
Whats in an $1800 Bosch vs a Bosch series 300 for $1000?Because they are quiet and they last. Some models rinse better than others and all have the same drain mesh that cannot be neglected
