Hi everyone, My Kenmore 665167843 dishwasher has broken down, and I’d like to troubleshoot the problem myself, so if anyone has a a repair guide or service manual for this model, or can point me in the right direction, I’d really thank you. When I try to start a cycle, nothing happens: no lights, no water flow, and no sounds. It just quit mid-cycle yesterday. I’m looking for some support to get it working again. Please don't share the operating manual, I already have it and it’s not informative. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Welcome to the Dishwasher Repair Forum!
I had a comparable issue with my Kenmore 665167843 dishwasher a few weeks ago, and I discovered a detailed service guide on the internet. It features step-by-step instructions, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic hints. Here’s the link, I discovered it on a blog on reddit :
Hi, assistance needed please I too have a Kenmore 665167843 dishwasher, and I downloaded the service guide shared above. Could someone explain how to check the power supply and what components to inspect initially? I’m a bit confused by the wiring schematics. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Start by checking the basics:
1. Power Supply: Use a multimeter to test the outlet and the terminal block where the power cord connects to the dishwasher. You should see around 120V (or 240V, depending on your model).
2. Door Switch: This is a common failure point. If the door isn’t fully closed or the switch is faulty, the dishwasher won’t start. Test the switch for continuity with a multimeter.
3. Thermal Fuse: If the dishwasher overheated, the thermal fuse might be blown. Check it for continuity as well.
Hi, I’m experiencing trouble with my dishwasher too. I checked the power supply, and the socket, evrything is fine, but there’s no voltage at the terminal block. According to the schematic in the guide, I expect to have 120V there, correct? How do I check the mainboard? Is my dishwasher completely faulty? The fuses seem fine, I checked it with a voltage meter. Any suggestions? 🤔
I believe my dishwasher has an electrical issue because it isn't starting. I’m not very skilled with fixing things, but I’m willing to give it a shot. I have a multimeter and some simple tools. Can someone guide me on how to begin? I’ve heard the control board, pump, or door switch could be the problem. Any advice would be helpful, can provide serial number if needed!
Don’t Rush into changing parts immediately. Depending on the problem, the approach to diagnosing issues may differ. Sometimes, devices are recalled for safety, and you can simply let the manufacturer handle everything.
Does your dishwasher have issues with the screen, indicators, or makes sounds? Start with the fundamentals by checking the electrical connection, latch, and mainboard.
It’s important to move step by step instead of hastily replacing parts like the mainboard or motor. First, check if the dishwasher is getting power. It’s as easy as that. Also, inspect the door switch and thermal fuse.
If you’re a complete beginner in dishwasher repair, it might be better to call a repair shop to avoid causing more damage, even if it costs a little extra. They can quickly identify the problem and identify the faulty part. Then, it’s your choice whether you want to replace it yourself. (A piece of advice: always disconnect the dishwasher prior to trying to repair it).
I believe I damaged my appliance heating element while trying to swap the water inlet valve. Now it doesn’t warm up at all while operating. Is it possible I caused more issues? Something’s not working properly.
I downloaded the Kenmore 665167843 maintenance guide guide hopefully it’ll assist me figure out what went wrong. Hoping for the best...
Here’s my go-to checklist for diagnosing a malfunctioning dishwasher:
Electrical Supply: Verify the dishwasher is getting power. Check the socket and connection point as well.
Latch: Check for continuity. A faulty wire can stop the dishwasher from working.
Fuse: Check if it’s blown. Swap it if necessary.
Mainboard: Examine for obvious damage or loose connections.
Pump and Motor: Check for proper operation and ensure they’re working properly.
