Bill G for Model Number KUDS01FLSS6 The light on my control panel, the one that says "Control Lock, Sanitize" is blinking. It blinks 7 times, pauses for a few seconds and then blinks 7 times. I have replaced the user interface panel, and the heater element. I feel that the 7 blinks is a code, but I don't know what it means. Can you help. My wife is on my case big time. She wanted me to buy a new washer, but I assured her I could fix the one we had.
Answer Bill, Recheck the wire connections at the heater and the hi limit thermostat. Run the diagnostic cycle "HIGH TEMP(Power Scour)>AIR DRY (No Heat Dry)(Energy Saver Dry)>HIGH TEMP(Power Scour)>AIR DRY(No Heat Dry)(Energy Saver Dry) DIAGNOSTICS CYCLE SERVICE FEATURE – Press the above option keys in the sequence shown, while the dishwasher is inactive, to run the Diagnostics Cycle. This cycle may be rapid advanced, interval by interval, by pressing the Pots&Pans/Heavy key, Antibacteria/Cookware key, or Start key." to reset the control board. Start a wash cycle, and check the water temperature in the bottom of the tub when the dishwasher starts to wash, the temperature in the tub needs to be 120 to 130 dgrs.F. for the machine to heat and advance properly.
