Winston for Model Number KUDA230YWH2 Kitchenaid dishwasher drips through float assembly. The float moves freely, and underneath the machine I could see the stem moving up and down, activating the switch. I removed the assembly, found a very small amount of material in and around the components. I cleaned it thoroughly and tested the switch with an ohmmeter. It showed 3.5 ohms in the float down position and infinite in the up position. After replacing everything (tightly), the leak is much greater. Float mechanism seems to be working. Should I replace the intake valve?
Answer Winston, It sounds like the unit may be overfilling in which the issue would most commonly be the float switch. It is possible that the water valve is not closing off all the way and causing the overfill issue. Also make sure that the unit is level as this could also cause the issue. Check the spray arms to make sure that they are not clogged or cracked causing a wave effect that would cause water to drip out. Read More...
