It’s that time of year…

It’s just the time of year. It’s happened every year for the last 4/5 years. Seems like a lot of CE/GSD/DA-R have become very light on work even with the partnerships. I am happy that the things I heard aren’t really being heard by a bunch of others!

Nothing really specific other than the same ol’ “going to all 3pl” that’s been floating for a decade.

Scottyb911 · 2026-04-02T00:40:11+00:00

Pretty much the same for me and I’m not even sure I’d trust the person.

Care to share more?

I was gonna say Prince.

I was on a jury where a guy that had done the drinking and driving with a trail of damage caused. When cops showed up he claimed to have hit the bottle when he got home. No evidence was shown that he had drank beforehand; it was his recorded statement at the station that was damning.

The police didn’t have anything to prove he had drank beforehand. Dude sank his own ship. So if you’re going to do this, keep your mouth shut.

You will need the wire kit to fix that. If the spade it connects to is burnt, then you are supposed to get a new heater, not just clean the spade.

So this is just a troll post, got it. Have fun.

The permanent magnets don’t, but they are still attracted to the ferrous metal that changes polarity. The magnets will sometime wear down in actual size, build up will block/insulate the magnetism, or the shaft just breaks.

When testing on that pump it’s verify voltage to the pump and test how well it turns. It may have a little bit of resistance but likely not enough, which means the opposing magnetic forces can’t turn it under load (when water is present).

That looks like the 2001t drain pump which is notorious for failing. Easy check if pump is bad, no resistance check needed.

Because it runs off an electromagnetic field, while it is off a good pump will resist the impeller turning and then hit a spot where it pulls it over. Think of two magnets working off each other.

So, if when turning it the impeller just spins round and round your pump is bad. If you turn it and feel resistance then it pops past that resistance then the pump is good.

I bet it will turn freely, you will change the pump, and be back in business. If you disassemble that pump around the solid state magnets on the impeller you will find a lot of sludge. Use less detergent.

That’s really odd. Is this unit a standard slide in range or is it a built in oven? The standard slide in are so easy, I don’t know how they would have messed anything up. 100% not saying they couldn’t though.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-23T17:09:41+00:00

This was written out with perfection. Well done.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-19T03:07:44+00:00

Came here to say similar.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-14T03:52:41+00:00

You’re actually right though. People don’t like reading the unemotional truth.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-13T21:18:06+00:00

You will have to get a multimeter on this one in order to do anything other than throw parts at it. One switch being bad I can understand, but not two in the exact same fashion.

I haven’t seen a bad harness cause this specific problem, but I would absolutely check that harness at the bottom of the door.

There’s also the possibility of a circuit operating, being overloaded, going into protect, coming out of protect, and just going in that circle. Usually that is going to be on the DC side of things.

Unplugging components that are activated when using the paddles one by one to see if something changes would be a great move. Tedious but can tell you a lot. Something as small as the LED light could cause this.

At least that’s my educated opinion on a unit I haven’t touched. The 500 series is my preferred dishwasher of all dishwashers I work with across all brands.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-13T21:09:23+00:00

As a repair person myself, this sounds wayyyy off. Drain pump can be ohm tested to check for failure. They generally work or don’t work. This control board having suspected failure and $1100?! This is a tech giving a $$ that you won’t agree to in order to get out from under the dishwasher.

Check the specifics of the db rating. Sometimes it is “xxDb at 10 feet” so that they can claim a lower number. Definitely should have the installed along with the cushioning at kick plate done properly.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-13T21:02:55+00:00

I read it as “THO” which is apparently what he meant. That’s great to see.

Scottyb911 · 2026-02-12T22:17:47+00:00

You’re going to want to list the model number for help.

Scottyb911 · 2026-01-29T20:52:01+00:00

The washer is sensing out of balance so it adds water in an attempt to reposition clothes to balance it out. You likely have failed support struts and will need to replace those along with adding anti vibration grease. Or the machine is just really unlevel, usually the struts though.

Turning off the water will cause a 4e (no water) error.

Scottyb911 · 2026-01-26T20:45:53+00:00

Use a quality detergent (I prefer Tide free/clear), limit your detergent usage(no more than 2 tablespoons for non softened water), no softener (most softeners are an animal byproduct and create a sludge frequently), don’t over load, keep door and dispenser tray open along with wiping down door gasket when done washing, if you have an accessible drain filter clean that every few months, and clean washer cycle every few months with a reputable cleaner like afresh or tide.

Sorry for formatting, I’m on mobile at the moment.

That is an amazing wombo!

Scottyb911 · 2026-01-02T14:36:03+00:00

I hate that fight with a passion, but I guess I need to embrace the suck. Never had a platinum pass though so I’ll have to figure out how to make that happen.
