Dishwasher stuck at 39 minutes. Already replaced the control board.

Thanks for this great site. It's helped me a lot in the past, but I'm stuck on this dishwasher.

I'm working on a Whirlpool dishwasher model number GU2700XTSB1.

It gets to 39 minutes and keeps running forever. I have already replace the electronic control board part # W10084141 and it still has the same problem. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Most dishwashers today heat the water at a certain point in the cycle. There is a thermostat attached to the bottom of the tub that is looking for a certain
temperature and will not allow the cycle to advance untill it sees it. There may be a tech sheet on the dishwasher with a cycle chart that shows where in the cycle this occurs. If this is the problem you will be looking at a thermostat or element failure.

The tech sheet is missing. Would you have a copy I could download?

I have attached a copy of the tech sheet for you.

Your model dishwasher uses Heating Element Part # W10134009

Let us know what you find or if you have any more questions.

I had a problem w/ a basic GE model that would not advance.  Timer was good, heater was good, thermostats were good.

I ended up putting a dab of alumilastic cement (like they use on icemakers) on the thermostat.  Worked like a charm.  I figure if the cement moves heat (or the lack thereof) in an icemaker, it'd do the same in a dishwasher.
