How do i know if my dishwasher is working? It is taking over 2 hours for the wash cycle and is still on wash cycle
For model number JDB8200AWP1
Hi Amanda,
Thank you for your question. Most dishwashers, depending on the cycle chosen, may run between 1 to 4 hours. If it is taking a long time for a cycle to complete, there are some things that you will need to check to see what is causing this issue. If the water is not hot enough, this can cause a dishwasher cycle to run longer. The temperature for the hot water should be between 120 and 150°F. Check your water heater and make sure that the temperature is set to at least 120°F. Also, before using the dishwasher, let the hot water run in the sink for a few minutes so that the water is good and hot and then start the dishwasher. If you have the dishwasher hooked up to cold water only, then it will take longer for the dishwasher to clean your dishes. You should also check the water pressure to the dishwasher. If the water pressure is not set between 20 and 120 psi, your dishwasher will not run correctly. If the water pressure is under 20 psi, there will be a water supply failure which will prevent the water supply valve from turning off. You should also make sure that when you are starting the dishwasher that you are selecting the correct wash cycle. There are some cycles that run longer than others. Check your owner's manual for information on the various cycles for your dishwasher. If your dishwasher is not insulated correctly, the heat will escape from it and this could cause the dishwasher to run longer. You will need to check the tub sound shield insulation around the cabinet to make sure that it is intact and securely in place. Lastly, you should also check the heating element to see if it is malfunctioning. You will need to test it with a multi-meter. To test the heating element, unplug your dishwasher before attempting this test. Your heating element will be found inside the dishwasher, attached to the bottom of the tub. It may be covered or uncovered. If it is covered, remove the cover. In order to disconnect the heating element, you will need to remove the lower access panel. Remove the wires attached to the heating element’s terminals by carefully grasping the metal connector, do not pull on the wire itself. To test the element, set your multi-meter to Rx1 and touch each probe to a terminal. Your reading should be somewhere between zero and infinity, refer to your owner’s manual to determine what reading you should receive for your model. If it is exactly zero or infinity it is defective. If your test produces a reading different from the manufacturer’s recommendation, you will need a replacement heating element. If you are not familiar with how to use a multi-meter, here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.
Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.
1. Open the dishwasher and remove the two plastic grommets about halfway down on either side of the opening. Then remove the two screws under the grommets.
2. Remove the kick plate under the door. May have to lower unit by turning the feet using the adjustable wrench.
3. Make sure you have enough slack in the water input line and electrical wiring that you can pull the dishwasher out about 12 inches or more.
4. There is a spring and nylon rope link on both sides of the unit. Probably just one link is broken, but the replacement comes with two, so you can replace both or save one as a spare. Look at the good side and it should be pretty self explanatory how it attaches. I found it easiest to first thread the link around the lower pulley, then attach the link to the spring, then spring to the rear support, then the link to the door.
This was the second time I had this problem so I knew the symptoms and remedy. The tools needed were two nut drivers a ¼” and 5/16” along with a flat pry bar and Phillips screw driver. I started by removing the lower front panel by removing the two ¼” screws on either side. The lower panel will lift up and then can be removed by pulling on the bottom. There is a flat sheet metal piece behind the front panel with insulation that can be removed very easily along with the front panel. When the front panel is removed it exposes the front legs that may need to be dropped to let you lift the dishwasher over the tile (if you have ceramic tiles). The next step would be to remove any ties to the counter top if it is attached. Mine were attached by the two straps on either side with Phillips screws. After the top is free, lower the front legs by lifting the dishwasher with the flat pry bar and threading the legs up into their holders. With the legs lifted the dishwasher can be pulled out to expose the tension springs located along the sides at the very bottom. Chances are the ropes are broken off the plastic holders that fit over the door hooks. Remove the plastic guides by removing the 5/16” nut from the middle of the lower roller. Remember to note which hole the screw is coming from this also sets the tension for how fast or slowly the door drops. Placing the nut closer to the front will drop the door slowly and toward the back will drop the door more quickly. I placed mine in the middle hole. When the plastic guides are removed attach the nylon pope to the spring and attach to the back of the dishwasher. There is a hole located on a flat piece of sheet metal the spring will attach to at the back of the dishwasher (if it is broken). Check the other side if it is still in tact. With the spring in place weave the rope around the plastic guides then pull the springs to help get the plastic end over the door hook located at the bottom of the door. Repeat this operation for the other side (kit has a both sides covered) and reinstall dishwasher in cabinet. Steps 1) Remove front panel (1/4” nut) 2) Release Dishwasher from Cabinet 3) Lower front legs 4) Pull Dishwasher out from under Cabinet 5) Remove Rope Guide (5/16” nut) 6) Install new Rope Guide (Supplied in Kit) 7) Attach new rope to Spring and attach spring to dishwasher 8) Weave rope through rope guide 9) With door closed pull spring to relieve tension so rope can be attached to door 10) Repeat for other side (Kit has both sides)
