Yes, the complete Kenmore 665.16632 Ultra Wash Dishwasher User Manual is available online at Manuals Plus for free access and reference.
Why does my dishwasher not fill properly?
Common causes for low/no water filling include a plugged fill valve line, overfill switch being stuck open or improper leveling. Check for debris clogging screens, verify switch operation and correct level settings.
What does error code F9E4 mean?
Error F9E4 indicates an issue with the Lower Spray Arm (LSA) motor or sensor. This occurs on certain models during diagnostics if the LSA doesn't work properly, showing as inoperative motor.
How do I check the door switch operation?
If the door switch is causing a problem, measure resistance of door switch contacts while operating the latch assembly. Resistance should be low and consistent with proper mechanical contact.
Why does my dishwasher shut off when I press Start/Resume?
If the dishwasher stops upon pressing Start/Resume, likely cause is a stuck door switch. Unplug power and inspect connections for shorted wires or faulty components in that circuit.
What does error code 6-4 indicate?
Error 6-4 signifies overfill detection. Check if the float switch is stuck open, ensure dishwasher is level, and confirm items are not causing blockage under the float switching mechanism.

DANGER WARNING
| |---|
|IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
■ Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
■ Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
■ When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
■ Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
■ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
■ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

|Voltage Measurement Safety Information When performing live voltage measurements, you must do the following: n Verifythecontrolsareintheoffpositionsothattheappliancedoesnotstartwhenenergized. n Allowenoughspacetoperformthevoltagemeasurementswithoutobstructions. n Keepotherpeopleasafedistanceawayfromtheappliancetopreventpotentialinjury. n Alwaysusethepropertestingequipment. n Aftervoltagemeasurements,alwaysdisconnectpowerbeforeservicing.| |---|
|IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at approximately 3000V. It takes as little as 10V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control assembly. The new main control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished, but a malfunction may occur at a later date due to ESD stress. n Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or unpainted
metal in the appliance
-OR-
n Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the
appliance.
n Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
n Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly by
edges only.
n When repackaging main control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.| |---|

4. With a voltmeter set to AC, insert black probe inside white wire screw nut (N) and insert red probe inside black wire screw nut (L1).
5. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
¾ If 120V AC is present, unplug dishwasher or disconnect power and proceed to step 6.|
¾ If 120V AC is not present, have customer correct power problem at outlet or breaker.
###### General Theory of Operation
¾ If 120V AC is not present, check for open connection between terminal block and control. Repair as needed.
¾ If +3.3V DC were missing, the dishwasher would become unresponsive. To verify +3.3V ± 5%, with a voltmeter set to DC, connect the black lead to P12-2 (GND) and the red lead to P11-2 (+3.3V).
¾ If +5V DC were missing, the fan motor or diverter switch would not function. To verify +5V ± 5%, with a voltmeter set to DC, connect the black lead to P12-2 (GND) and the red lead to P10-5 (+5V).
¾ If +13V DC was missing, the heater, motors, and all other loads would not turn on. To verify +13V ± 5%, with a voltmeter set to DC, connect the black lead to P12-2 (GND) and the red lead to P9-6 (+13V).
Troubleshooting Missing DC Supplies: Refer to the wiring diagram on page 6-3 when troubleshooting the DC supplies. If +3.3, +5, or +13V DC is missing on the control, unplug dishwasher or disconnect power, and then disconnect all components/loads from the control relying on the missing or loaded supply. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power and check if the DC supply has returned.
¾ If not, replace the control. ¾ If it has, turn off dishwasher and reconnect one
connector at a time until the component loading down that supply has been identified.
Refer to Wiring Diagram on page 6-3.
Neutral and L1 (AC voltage) enters the Control Board at P4, pins 1 & 2 respectively. AC is converted to DC at the LV/HV Power Supply. LV (Low Voltage) Supplies include 15V, 13V, 5V, and 3.3V DC. These LV supplies are used to provide power to the microprocessors and board components, control the triacs, power the sensors, buzzer, fan motor, and energize the AC relays. The 170V DC HV (High Voltage) Supply is used to control the variable speed wash and drain motors.
The 13V DC is vital to the operation of the dishwasher. This supply is necessary to operate all 120V AC loads in the dishwasher, whether they are connected to a relay or controlled by triacs. 13V DC is generated by the power supply and flows through the door switch—when closed—to be available to the heater relays, wash & drain motor relays, and the pilot relay. A relay coil becomes energized when the control closes the LV drive circuit for a specific relay completing 13V pathway, which in turn closes the relay switch providing AC to the load. The Pilot relay provides “L1” to the remainder of the components that are controlled by the Neutral-sensed triacs.
There are three fuses on the Control Board: the L1 Fuse, the Motor Fuse, and the Triac Fuse. If the L1 Fuse is open, the entire dishwasher is unresponsive. If the Motor Fuse is open, both variable speed wash and drain motors will not operate. And, if the Triac Fuse is open, all loads controlled by Triacs will not operate. NOTE: Refer to “Fuse Service and Diagnostic Checks” on page 6-4.
