Jeff for Model Number kudp01flbi6 I have a 7 year old Kitchenaid dishwasher. I have replaced the touch panel and interface about 6 months ago with no problems. Now the dishwasher has stopped working. I can push the buttons to start with the corresponding leds lighting up. If I hit start it blinks like it should. However, the unit never starts. The only other issue I have noticed is that before this lately we we would see dirty water left in the unit. I just cleaned the chopper assembly but still won't start. Also did the diagnostic test hitting the four button combination with no luck. What could be the problem?
Answer Jeff, You will want to check to make sure that when you hit start that you are getting power to the water valve. The water valve energizing is the first step in the process. If there is no power to the water valve you will want to check wiring from valve back to control panel board and if wiring checks ok then check to make sure that the connection between the control board and user interface is a firm connection.
