whirlpool - ikea dishwasher model b10 no power

[areynaldo]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help, my dishwasher has just stopped working. No poer to the controls at all. Check the usual fuses \ plugs etc. But still no power getting to the control panel- no lights or sound of activity.

Is there a main fuse on the dishwasher somewhere?

where is the problem likely to be

"b10" is not a valid model number
Post the service number on the sticker in the door lip instead so we can identify the machine (12 digits.....85-- --- -----).
There is no "main fuse". There is a mains suppressor which may (or may not) have popped. Alternatively it could be a pcb, switch, or wiring issue.
Without knowing exactly which model you have it is difficult to advise further.
You really need a multimeter & the knowledge how to use it in order to fault-find to component level.

lots of different numbers on the side i'm afraid 500 793 45 or 8542 416 15810 or 3805 3400 0077. It says its a DWF B10W Ikea \whirlpool dishwasher. Thanks for reply by the way

Follow the (unplugged) mains cable into the machine & check if the suppressor has popped. This is what it looks like..... http://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/Dish...lpool+and+Others+Interference+Suppressor.html They fail quite often
The service number is 8542 416 15810, quote it if you need to order parts.

How can you check if its 'popped' would there be visible signs or do you need a circuit tester for it?

Thanks

Often there is visual evidence (soot marks, burns etc) but not always. If you can't see anything you could jumper it out temporarily. The machine will run perfectly fine without a suppressor but your TV picture might suffer.

Hi Ive fitted the part, but unfortunatley same problems

I've stripped the machine down a little furthur and have detected some black smoke marks and some possible melting \ buddling of the plastic housing of what look likes the main control pannel( the plug that has blackened is labelled MS) !!! ucb-icfd-p5-a2delay-hl/sr unit (461972714211)

What do you think, same conclusion as me?

I guess you didn't try jumpering out the suppressor first?
MS is the power supply to the pcb from the main switch (MS). It sounds like the plug or pcb has shorted out. Looks like you will need the cable interface (& possibly the main switch) + one of these http://www.apart4u.co.uk/dishwasher-module-whirlpool-ikea-opn-481221838236.html
