Drain solenoid staying on and burning up

The drain solenoid is staying activated through all cycles. I replaced the pump/motor assembly, the solenoid with a known good one, also the timer. What else could possibly cause this?

Have you replaced the timer with a new one or you just think it’s good?

Most likely the problem is a bad timer. You have to replace it the new part.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?diagram_id=21031624&&model_id=209198

I put in a new timer and am still having the same problem. is there anything else you can think of? I have checked everything I can think of. thanks, Keith

I moved the dishwasher from one room to the other and wired it up myself. also it did the same thing in both rooms.

I do not see what else could cause it. Maybe somebody else on the forum can find the solution.

If I understand your comments, apparently the drain solenoid stays on all the time, independent of timer settings. If so, look for a shorted wire near the timer. You probably will need a meter to check where the shorted wire is.

Was there any wiring that you could have messed up when reconnecting the unit or was it all one way plugs?

Also I might try disconnecting the unit from ground (green wire) just as a test. It may give a clue to what is going on.

After receiving the F4 code, I replaced the Temp. Sensor and the oven appeared to work after testing it twice. Several days later, the F4 code reappeared. What’s the next logical step?
