    Thank you so much. Did exsactly what you said and it WORKS fantastic, niw I dont have to look for a new dishwasher.

    Mate you are a champion. My dishwasher stopped producing heat two nights ago. In hindsight it has probably not been heating to its full capacity for several months. I removed the PC board and had a dry joint in the same spot as your image. Two small spots of solder and the dishwasher is working perfectly. I'm sure it has saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of hassle with repair persons etc... Thanks so much

    I had the same with a Dishlex 403. Scorched tag very similar to JonThom's photo above. Soldered the bad joint, no joy. Then desoldered and removed the relay, tested okay, replaced and resoldered the 5 tags, and it is working again. Maybe another joint was dry but not obvious. Many thanks for the above which was a great help in finding the problem.

    Had my Dishlex 13 years then it stopped heating the water. Only noticed because the dishes were coming out wet with soap residue.
    Followed this solution and after the 2nd attempt it worked.
    I tried heating each of the connection points first but a couple were jut too dry.
    2nd attempt I added enough new solder to each connection and then it worked.
    Thanks for this!

Thank you this worked for me.

1st of all to be sure that the Heater element has not open circuited, checked the resistance of the heater element which was O.K. Then dismantled the control by unfastening top 6 Counter sunk screws on the front door and removed the PCB housing. The cables are terminated to the PCB via 6 push on sockets. The socket sizes being unequal, there is no chance of interchanging the cables during re-assembly.

PCB track feeding output of Relay was burnt out due to over heating. Soldered a short length of wire directly from the output of the relay to the spade terminal leg on the PCB.

See attached picture

You guys are blo....dy brilliant. I have put 2x heater elements into my DX302. The first time I think I got lucky - having the circuit board on the door probably banged the joint back into life but the second one - still no heat. After looking on this site BINGO. Joint as described 30 secs with the trusty Weller and all fixed. Unfortunately - I can't send back the "replacement" $85 heater I have but at least I won't be buying another one.

One think gives me the willies are those silly hose clamps on the heater - they are hard work. Why can't (I think price might be the issue) use worm drives.....

Thanks for this site - I'm just stoked.

Element surrounds short section of stainless steel tube on outlet side of pump (clamped hose section either side) Unlikely to be faulty, check circuit board for dry joint at relay.

Hi
I have the same problem with my 302.
I noticed the dodgy relay solder joints and have fixed them and confirmed the operation of the relay, but still no joy.
Does anyone have a service manual they would be kind enough to email?

    Ditto... for my dishwasher, a Westinghouse SB907, (which I've had for just over 10 years and up until yesterday, had performed very relliably), but the PCB is exactly the same as the one discussed in this thread. I removed the PCB and on initial examination, it appeared to be fine - no evidence of burning, nor any obvious dry soldered joints. However, bearing in mind what I'd read on this forum, where one or two others reported the same, I decided to re-solder all of the pins to the relay, as well as the beeper's pins (only 2 pins), which had gone silent (stopped beeping) about a year after I bought the machine. The machine now heats up and dries AND the beeper works again.. It is too early to tell yet if this repair was 100% sucessful, as the problem with mine was intermittent - i.e. it worked OK most of the time, but sometimes no heat. Last night was the last straw and decided to either replace te machine with a new one, but see if there was any DIY solution first. There was of course such a solution: right HERE on this fixya.com thread... I must admit that I'm a bit worried that there are other dry or unreliable soldered joints on the PCB, as re-soldering the beeper's pins proved it beyond doubt, so now wonder if something else will stop functioning for the same reason, but if so, I'll at least know what to do and how to do it - it's not a big job or a difficult one. If I'd not found this forum, I'd probably have wasted an awful lot of money (on a new dishwasher that I don't need) or, still have a malfunctioning, white-elephant in the space in my kitchen, reserved for a (fully functional) dishwasher! Thanks all of you - you have taken a big load off my mind...

    Resoldering the dry joints on my heating relay on the PCB worked perfectly for me too. I thought I was up for a new heating element or possibly a new dishwasher. Thank you so much for this thread. My Westinghouse SB907 is now fully functional again.

Guys, Thank you so much for your info, i lost heat in my 302, followed your guide, 1st time I resoldered 5 joints, nothing, then I resoldered about 20 joints that were large enough for my shakey hands, BINGO, it now works so I believe there is a quality control issue with these boards.
Thanks again, otherwise I would be buying a new machine.

Many dish washers rely on supplied hot water and do not heat supply water. Check to make sure it is connected to the proper water source.

Great information.
Saved cost and mucking around under the DW to replace the heater element.
Simply checked and resoldered a few joints on the circuit board at the front and bingo. Problem solved.

Got 10 years out of the Dishwasher. Might get a few more.

    Some extra info before going into the circuit board.

    Remove the front control panel.

    Use a multi meter to measure AC Volts across orange and blue wires from right hand side plug.

    At power on it shows nothing (or about 3 or 4 volts).

    Once it is running and filling up it shows 240 volts (or there abouts).

    After filling from mains water this drops to 0 (zero).

    In the last five minutes it rises to 240 volts again.



    If it doesn't do this I would suggest a problem with the board.

  • fitwizard Mar 01, 2011

    Hi ST13P,
    My dx302 has stopped heating the water, so I tried what you suggested. Voltages all look good on the heater plug (orange/blue wires). 8v when power on. 240v when running. I removed the plug and it is not an open circuit across the contacts. This would indicate the heater element is ok, right?
    I havent pulled the base apart to get at the element yet. I removed the circuit board and had a good look - no burnt/melted joints.
    Any ideas?
    thanks.

  • bdlow Aug 07, 2011

    If you want to try and differentiate between a faulty element or relay: the large "orange and blue" connector has neutral (blue) and the heating element (orange), and is switched via the relay on the control board. 240V across those wires means the relay is off or the track on the board has blown. ~3-4 V across means the relay closed and a reasonable current is flowing (i.e. the relay and PCB tracks have a small resistance); ~0V across would mean no current is flowing and the element is stuffed.

    Great help followed steps and soldered the burnt connection worked for a few weeks but now it has the same problem again. Is it simply just resoldering or does something need to be changed that is causing the burn in the switchboard?

Bf72 not doing the wash cycle correctly

If you are using hot water connection then check the temperature of incoming water is hot enough. If cold water inlet only is used then most likely the heater element or thermostat in the dishwasher is faulty and the water is not heating enough.

Water not heating up and not drying

Hello

If your dishwasher is not heating properly, troubleshoot the issue. You can often repair this problem and eliminate service fees.

Incoming Water
Most manufacturers recommend that the water coming into your dishwasher be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water is too cold, then your dishes don't clean properly. Or the dishwasher must run longer to heat up the water. Test the water temperature by running the hot water on your faucet for about 2 minutes or until it gets really hot. Place a waterproof thermometer under the water. If the water is too cold, increase the water temperature setting on your water heater.

Thermostat
The thermostat is responsible for regulating the water and drying cycle temperature. If this thermostat isn't working, the heating element at the base of the dishwasher tub may not come on. Test this element by selecting the hottest temperature setting. Run the dishwasher on the shortest cycle. Let the dishwasher run for a few minutes, and open it up. If the dishwasher water is not hot or the drying cycle isn't starting, order a new thermostat from a parts dealer since this component is difficult to fix.


Heating Element/Drying Fan

The heating element heats up the water and air. Access this element by removing the bottom rack. It looks like a long black rod. If any part of this component is broken or corroded, you must order a new one. You usually cannot fix this element. The drying fan is located in the main housing of the dishwasher, and it blows air around your dishes to dry them. Check this part by disconnecting the dishwasher from the power supply and opening up the housing. Examine the fan, and see if any dirt or debris is preventing it from moving. Clean it. If the fan won't turn at all or if the motor is burnt out, order a new fan since it's difficult to repair this part.

Additional Concerns

If your dishwasher isn't drying your dishes properly, see if you have selected a heated drying cycle. An air drying cycle doesn't completely dry your dishes. Never overload the dishwasher, as this prevents heat from circulating around your dishes, keeping them from drying properly. Plastic and Teflon dishes don't usually completely dry. You must towel-dry these items.

Dishlex Global Unable to remove heater element retaining screw

I have a simialar problem with the Dishlex 450 Global model, after searching for the heating element on line, I found a picture of the element (450 model), showing that the Stainless Steel screw is actually spot welded to the element bracket, hence you should be able to remove it by accessing a retaining nut from underneath the dishwasher....(turn power off first!)..

The dishlex 302SB is not producing hot water for the washing

I have a Dishlex 302 which had this fault. Initially I thought it was the inline heater element and replaced it. It seemed to work but later no hot water again. Someone here put me on to the problem. There is a dry joint in the control board in the top of the door. This controls the relay which powers up the heater. Unplug it from the mains (very important) and undo the screws around the top of the door (don't take the door right off!) you will be able to wiggle off the front panel containing the electronics. The control board is ealiy disconnected an removed from the machine in its protective plastic cover. Have a look around the PCB and you will see the dry joint. Resolder with rosin core (electronic) solder, reassemble and you should have hot water.
