Dishwasher PF warning...weird
HI,
I have a 15 yr old Lady Kenmore dishwasher, kept failing for 6 months on and off - and showing PF sign, stopping half way through the cycle (any cycle)...so, plugged it into extension cord on different outlet and has now worked 3 times in a row..
may be a stupid question, but why would an outlet do this, it works fine for the incinerator food disposal...
also, if i switch the plugs, the incinerator runs full time, even without being switched on - somehow seems to have constant current to it?
thanks
JC

Your receptacle is likely wired as half switched, half constant on. This is typical, and should not surprise you.
There could be a loose connection at the receptacle. I suggest that you examine the wiring at the receptacle and make sure all connections are sound.
However, don;t do this unless you know what you are doing, as electricity can kill and cause fires.
