Re: whirlpool dwf 415
Further info for anybody who might find themselves in a similar situation..
Having checked out all the water-flowing-in parts of the machine, and the water-level part of the machine, I decided that there was no mechanical fault to be found. However, during this excercise I saw plenty of mouse droppings in the water tray which forms the bottom of the casing, and some corrosion of the galvanised steel, which indicated some fluid stronger than plain old condensation!
I removed the plastic “box” containing the main pcb and opened it up (just simple plastic clips) and removed the pcb. More mouse evidence, but no teeth marks on anything. There was staining on parts of the pcb, so I cleaned it all with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free cloth, including the edge contacts where all the various plugs are connected – the cloth was a horrible colour. I believe you can use neat vodka as a substitute, just don’t drink it afterwards.
Put it all back together and fired it up, and EVERYTHING WORKS!!
I want to thank all those many contributors to this great site for such a public-spirited way that all the information and experiences are shared, and for helping me to check out all the possibilities, and eventually saving me the cost of a new dishwasher. Just a brilliant result!
