Dishwasher Running Too Long

Name: Tom

Inquiry Type: Appliance repair question

Comments: 

I have a Kenmore dishwasher that is 10 years old.

Model 665.1646, serial fr3410264. My question is that the wash cycle is running over 2 and a half hours. Do I have a problem here?

On another issue the owners guide says to not rinse dishes before loading. Really? Should we load soiled?

Thanks so much! 

Hi Bill, 

Thanks for your note.
It appears the timer is defective. 

As for the rinsing issue. They say you will have more soap action if there is dirt or whatever on the dishes. I still rinse my dishes.

Regards,

Joe Gagnon
