Greg for Model Number kudmo1tjbso

My Kitchenaid dishwasher stopped mid cycle just before the water heating cycle would normally start/light up.The cycle lights were blinking erratically & unit would not cancel (light blinking erratically) or drain correctly.Complete draining accomplished only during short time periods when the cancel/drain light functioned correctly(not when blinking erratically) have checked door closed micro switch power fuse on control board soft touch buttons & ribbon. Entered diagnostic mode did not seemed OK when unit had not run.Wouldn't enter diagnostic mode after running & lights start flashing any trouble shooting help is appreciated.

Answer

Hello Greg, There are a few things you need to check before ordering parts. First remove the kick panel at the bottom of the unit. With the power to the unit turned off, remove the power connection cover/box. This is the box that contains the wire nut connections. You need to verify polarity and 120Vac. By polarity I am referring to the hot wire, neutral return, and ground. If the hot wire and neutral are swapped, this can cause all sorts of issues including premature control board failure and program deviations. also, it is important that neutral and ground are not crossed. If this all checks good, replace the control board WP8564543.
