Review on Whirlpool W10469574 Dishwasher Equipment Manufacturer by Josh Whitehead

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Dishwasher Door Leak Fixed

During the drying cycle my dishwasher left a puddle of water on the floor and after some troubleshooting I finally found that the exhaust fan had failed causing condensation in the doors and through the seam during the final drying cycle drops. The failed fan itself is small, cheap, and very easy to replace (the same 5V fan commonly used to cool computer equipment), but the fans are made in China and I couldn't find them anywhere in the country at a reasonable price . It was actually cheaper for me to buy this entire vent assembly (including the fan) to get the dishwasher working properly again before it ruins my hardwood floor. Very easy to replace. My guess is that the newly built fan will also fail over time since it runs in very harsh (hot, humid) environments. So once I was sure that the old fan was the problem, I ordered another fan from a supplier in China to turn on hand as a replacement. for the future. The fan itself only costs a few dollars (shipping included), but it can take a month or more to ship in the States through the mail.
