What can cause a burning smell from the dishwasher
For model number RUD4000MQ0
Hello David, Thank you for the question. Normally this is an indication something has fell onto the Element or the Element could be defective. We hope this helps!
My sink hot water temperature is 147 degrees F, but the water temperature in the dishwasher is only 120 degrees F during mid-cycle. The dishes come out food stained but there is no loose food debris. It seems that the staining is caused by too low water temperature in the dishwasher. The heating element has a resistance of 16 ohms. What do you recommend?
For model number RUD4000MQ0
Hello Robert, thank you for your question. The meter should display a reading between 10 and 50 Ohms of resistance. The dishwasher hot water must be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit and not more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are not refilling your salt then the water will be hard and this will leave residue on your dishes. But, if brown film on dishes can be caused by iron deposits in water. The Heating Element is PS11748195. We hope this helps.
Installed new door seal. Dishwasher still leaked. Googled the model number and then cleaned the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher, still leaked. Verified that manifold bearing was not work. It was OK. Found note that a plugged vent might cause leaking door. Very counterintuitive. Pried off air vent cover. Vent was thouroughly plugged with calcium deposts from steam. Cleaned these out. Dishwasher no longer leaks.
Photograph or diagram how the wires connect to the switches before taking out the old assembly. I could have salvaged switches from the old assembly by pulling out the white pins (and avoided buying the new switch kit). There's only one way the pieces go back together, so the wire connections are the only point that required special care and attention.
The first thing I did was to investigate. I needed to find where the leak was coming from. It was leaking from just above tne door front panel, directly underneath the control panel buttons. I opened the dishwasher door, and decided to remove the door screen vent. I was covered with some offwhite fiberous, or filter like material. I thought perhaps the filter had broken down, and I ordered a new screen. When it arrived, and, although I had expected to receive a new filter with the plastic door screen, I didn't. There wasn't one to be ordered. I looked at the screen again. My problem was, that although I had considered that the substance I had thought was a filter, was instead build up of detergent, and other particals. That idea didn't seem to make sense. I didn't think it was possible for that stuff to get to the door screen. I thought, it was too far away from the dispenser and food particles. As it turned out, the buildup was, in fact, the problem. I properly cleaned the door vent, which was then fine, and I put it back into the door. There were no more leaks, that was it, and the problem was solved. As a last note however, unfortunatley, I have to return the new door vent screen that I ordered. I enjoyed solving the problem, and you all helped alot. Let's do it again sometime.
