Dishwasher runs for an unusually long time or never seems to finish the cycle.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Water not heating properly, Faulty temperature sensor, Very low incoming water temperature, Soil sensor not reading correctly

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing heater or sensors.

Check water temperature: Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher. Ensure it reaches at least 120°F (49°C).
Test heating element: Verify continuity of the heater and replace if open.
Inspect temperature or soil sensor: Clean any film or debris from sensors in the sump area. Replace if readings are out of range.
Reset control: Try a hard reset by turning off the breaker for 5–10 minutes, then retest.
