Thread: Behavior of "Elite" model is minimal/abnormal, but no components seem bad

  1. #1

    Behavior of "Elite" model is minimal/abnormal, but no components seem bad

    Model Number: 665.15972992
    Brand: Sears Kenmore
    Age: More than 10 years

    With either original or newly purchased control board, diagnostic test (i.e., touchpanel disconnected) fails: no spontaneous 2-minute motor spin.

    With touchpanel, etc., all connected, unit exhibits intermittent spontaneous behavior: a few LEDs light, and motor spins briefly. Sometimes pressing "Drain Off" button also makes motor spin. Multiple alternating button-push sequences to unlock/reset unit have no effect. Once recently, with reconditioned control board, pressing "Normal Wash" didn't cause its LED to light, but then pressing "Start" resulted in several, but not all, steps of what seemed to be normal wash.

    All significant components within the unit (including touchpanel matrix paths) that are testable with meter -- either voltage when unit is energized, or resistance when not -- seem within numbers on spec sheet (part no. 8051288).

    From your symptoms, it sounds like the touchpad control panel is probably bad. You can try to do the matrix tests with a meter, but from our experience this doesn't always tell you that the part is good or bad. We have seen where the part passes the tests with a meter, but has an internal short or failure that causes it not to work properly. It looks like the touchpad control panel for your model dishwasher has been discontinued by the manufacture.
