How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the door or side panel.

Locate vent assembly: On many Crosley dishwashers, the vent is located in the upper portion of the door or on the side of the tub.
Inspect vent outlet: Check for obstructions such as plastic wrap, labels, or mineral buildup blocking the vent opening.
Test fan motor: Access the vent fan from inside the door. Disconnect the wires and test for continuity across the motor. An open reading indicates a failed fan.
Check vent flap: Ensure the vent flap moves freely and is not stuck closed due to grease or detergent residue. Clean as needed.
Inspect wiring: Verify that the harness to the vent fan and heater is intact and connectors are tight.
Replace vent assembly if needed: Install a new vent fan or complete vent assembly if the motor is defective or the flap mechanism is broken.
