Kevin for Model Number KUDS02SRSS1 This dishwasher does not reliably complete selected cycles. The first symptom was water failing to drain. I cleaned the filter and food chopper, checked the flap in the drain, and disconnected the drain hose and pumped water easily into a bucket. I have used the heated dry/button sequence to clear the 7 clean light flashes or the flashing sanitzed light when that option had been selected. Sometimes I can get several completed wash cycles in a row and at other times I have to do the reset. When I select sanitize I usually end up with a flashing sanitize light. I seem to be able to use the rinse cycle and it does drain properly. When the dishwasher malfunctions sometimes the soap box fails to open and I have standing water. At other times it seems to get further into the stages before the malfunction happens. It does get steamy hot inside but I am unsure if this is due to the heating element or the hot water supply. When I do start a cycle and a get a malfunction I can watch the timer on the front display count down without hearing different stages as they should ocurr. I suspect the control board more than the heating system. Does this unit have a thermistor in addition to a thermistat and where would it be? Can you provide some guidance or you best diagnosis? I wanted to avoid pulling the dishwaher if it was not necessary. Is it likely that the interconnect board is a problem? Some of these parts are expensive to replace if they are not needed. Thanks. Kevin
Answer Kevin, With the clean light flashing 7 times this would indicate a heating circuit failure. With the other issues that are going on this would indicate that is most likely the control board that is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
