Samsung Dishwasher: Samsung dishwasher auto light blinking

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 19:56:42 -0700

Hey guys, my Samsung dishwasher auto light blinks after the wash cycle when reaching the rinse cycle. Each time, I can simply switch it off and switch it on then start a new full cycle without issue.

I've read that it's an issue with the water supply, but I don't understand how it wouldn't fail on the initial wash cycle, or why it doesn't fail at all on the subsequent run.

I tried priming the hot water beforehand and during the cycle to make sure hot water is always available, but it didn't work.

What should I do?

GE Dishwasher: GDT545PSJ2SS no lights and no power.

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:01:53 -0700

My GDT545PSJ2SS has no lights and no power. When I start looking into it, if the green light on the control board is green, can I assume that the control board is good? If so, can I then safely assume that the user interface is bad? A link to a vidoe or written steps to check these two would be appreciated.

Lg dishwasher: LG Dishwasher lights “fritzing” when on, making erratic noises

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 20:16:18 -0700

Our LG dishwasher —Inverter Direct Drive-- recently started having its control panels lights flickering/fritzing when turned on, will make erratic beeping noises and will do this when the dishwasher is running. The dishwasher turns off mid cycle when this happens as well.

Thanks for the response! I’ve taken off the front door and the control panel- I’ve don’t see what looks like a control board.

The front control panel doesn’t seem to have anything significant standing out to me as damage

Bosch Dishwasher: What is the difference between different types of heat pump

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 08:09:53 -0700

SMV46JX00G/74 dishwasher

Pump code - 9001 564 687 printed on pump body

I have only found pumps with different codes; ie 9001 180 504 or 9001 230 206 or 9001 375 387 for example.

Are these pumps compatible with mine? In the photos they appear to look the same.

Whirlpool Quiet Partner I Dishwasher: Flashing Lights on Control Panel

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 16:40:04 -0700

Last night, I went to start my dishwasher. I pressed the Start button before noticing that I was on "Pots and Pans" instead of "Normal". I immediately pressed the "Cancel" button in order to change the cycle. I heard the drain cycle start and finish, then I saw the "Normal" button flashing. I could not select any other cycle, and got no reaction when pressing "Start". I pressed the "Cancel" button again, but it just started flashing as well as the "Normal" button. At this point, I flipped the circuit breaker off, counted to 10, and flipped it back on. This made the "Cancel" button stop flashing, but the "Normal" button kept flashing. I then checked the interior to make sure that the overfill cover moved freely, that the sprayers could all turn freely, and that the filters were clear. No change. I tried the reset procedures found elsewhere in this forum (alternately pressing "Heated Dry" and "Normal"; pressing any three buttons in sequence three times; and pressing and holding various buttons for three seconds each) with no success. The trouble shooting guide from Whirlpool does not address anything associated with flashing lights. I've left the door open and unlatched for 12 hours now with no change. Any suggestions that don't involve calling a repairman?

Dishwasher: Miele Dishwasher Error F78 - Circulation Pump issue

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 14:22:21 -0700

I have a Miele Dishwasher G2872 SCVi. Lately, it has started to beep and shows “Technical Fault F78” on its display about 4-5 minutes into the wash cycle. Miele Tech Support say F78 means a fault with the circulation pump.

Did some initial checks - it looks like the water is draining out without problems and fresh water is coming in too. The filter is clean, and there appears to be no blockage in the circulation pump (I can move it easily by hand).

Any thoughts on what might be the issue? Is there any other remedy that one can think of (apart from buying a new dishwasher of course)?

Thanks.

Dishwasher: Does not drain the water at the end of cycle

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 17:16:53 -0700

My dishwasher seems to function normally. The dishes seem clean, but the water from the last cycle remains in after it has stopped. The water is clear. I have read the manual and reset the system several times. When I press the cancel button to flush out the remaining water in the morning, you can hear the water being pumped out, and it sounds like the pump is working well.

Whirlpool Dishwasher: Whirlpool Dishwasher stops after filling with water

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:35:39 -0700

My dishwasher stops running after it brings hot water in at the very beginning. Sometimes, it will start and stop various times (I suppose, continuing on through consecutive stages, but I can't be sure what it's actually doing because it rarely ends with clean dishes) across many hours. Other times, it never gets past this initial intro stage.

A few times in the past, I had success at cutting the power at the breaker, and then it tended to work perfectly for a handful of times afterwards before it would start acting up again. This last time I tried to cut breaker, however, was unsuccessful, and now it won't get past that first stage (which I always have to hit cancel to drain the water, which luckily still works every time). --Funny but not, I broke the breaker switch flipping it too many times, so I had to replace that today.--

By the way, it opens the soap tab after 5 or 10 minutes, even if it's not running/washing. So, some aspects of the "wash" cycle are working, I guess.

All panel lights are working and displaying on top.

Thanks for any help!

Dishwasher: Fixing an LG Dishwasher LE error code

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:12:32 -0700

My dishwasher stopped working when it started giving me an OE error code. Turned out to be a bad drain pump, which Ive replaced. After replacing the drain pump, I now get an LE error code. I wasn't getting this before. I understand the LE error code is associated with the water pump not working, but I find it hard to believe that the pump just failed at the same time as the drain pump. Is there something I could've messed up while replacing the drain pump that would cause this? When I start a Rinse cycle, I hear the dishwasher go through a drain cycle first, then the fill valve opens and I hear it fill with water. When it's time for the water pump to kick on, I just hear kind of a "Egh" noise a couple times, before it throws the code, almost as if the impeller is stuck or something.

I noticed a couple screws were stripped that screw the top piece (filter part) into the whole sump assembly. Besides that, couldnt find anything else.

Dishwasher: Bosch Dishwasher E15 Fixed - Now no power.

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 06:00:17 -0700

Model Number: shs863wd5n/11

Brand: Bosch

We had an E15 code pop up on our Bosch dishwasher, this is a water leak error. I got under the dishwasher and cleaned up the water to return the foam float to the bottom-which would fix the E15 code. Unfortunately while removing the dishwasher cover to ease access I also removed the screws that held the fascia control panel (part #00775770) in place. The control panel fell off and a red cord fell out of the control panel. I reconnected the red cord and reinstalled everything but now the unit won't turn on. I have tried unplugging the unit for an extended time and the outlet is fully functional. Keep in mind - power was not the original issue, E15 was. I've inspected as much as I can visually and I do not see any crimped wires or broken/missing connections. My only thought is that I either damaged the specific red connection or the fascia control panel itself. Are there any tips to find the origin of my electrical problem?

Thanks!

Bosch Dishwasher: Where the heck did this clip come from?

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:07:03 -0700

I have a Bosch SHE89PW55N dish washer. I am replacing the front stainless steel panel because it was tired, had paint drips on it, etc. As part of that process, I removed the control panel. It may not have been necessary but the front stainless panel didn't seem to want to come off with the control panel in place. As I was doing that, this clip fell out. I have no idea where it came from.

I have scoured all parts diagrams I can find and come up empty. I have inspected the control panel trying to find a logical place for it, also no luck. I could not find anything like it on the control panel, inside the door, or on the stainless steel panel.

Does anyone know where this goes?
