Actuator, Door Latch

Jen for Model Number KUDS01IJBS0

Answer Jen, We would not expect a missing spring to be the issue. The display is working, so the door switches are "closed" and you have power to the control board. Your next check should be the touchpad ribbon between the control panel and the control board. Remove the connector, and clean the insertion end of the ribbon thoroughly with rubbing or denatured alcohol. Reinsert the ribbon into the connector properly and tightly. If the problem persists replace the control panel 8270232. 

Kathy D. for Model Number Kenmore 665-13723K601 Dishwasher

Answer Hello Kathy, The door springs are adjustable. Remove the kick panel and look to each side. The springs are readily visible, although you may not be able to see the slots that the springs fit into. There are normally 7 to 9 slots for the door spring adjustments. These are actually put on the units so if a decorative panel to match the cabinets is installed and the door is a lot heavier, the springs can be adjusted and keep the door from dropping like a rock. If there are slots toward the front of the unit in front of the slot the springs are now installed in, the springs can be moved to the slots closer to the front to make the door pull shut less aggressively.

Pete for Model Number GU1100XTLS1

Answer Hello Pete. You will need to check and see if the actuator 8524471 is not broken on the unit. The lock light does not come on on the units when the door is closed. It only comes on when the control panel is locked out on the unit. Also, check and make sure the strike 8269111 is not bent on the unit and causing the unit not to close properly. 

Len for Model Number KUDIO1LBS3 dishwasher

Answer Len, The more likely issue is a faulty keypad on the conmtrol panel 8531248. " PROBLEM: WON’T RUN AND LED ABOVE KEY(S) IS BLINKING > Stuck key(s) or shorted circuit(s) in keypad. > Check keypad. > Shorted circuits or connections on the control that read the keys. > Check control." The door latch and switches may need to be aligned or adjusted, you'll be able to check them when you replace the control panel., but that's the least likely issue at this point. Good Luck and Thanks 

Allen for Model Number KitchenAid Model KUDP01IL

Answer Allen, Power to the fill valve solenoid (120 VAC) is supplied through the K3 relay on the control board, on the blue/black wire, down to the float switch, through the float switch and into the solenoid coil. The brown wire at the solenoid is routed up to the control board to the P2pin3 wire and completes the circuit to the neutral leg through the control board circuitry at the P7 white wire. Due to libility and safety reasons the manufacturer and APP Do Not reccomend you attempt to rebuild or repair a printed circuit board. At 102 VAC to the fill valve, check and make sure there are no loose wires or connections in thw wiring we mentioned and repalce the control board if all's OK. Thanks and Good Luck
