Kent D for Model Number kudt03ftb01 I'm still changing parts. My dishwasher will fill but will not continue to the wash cycle. How is the filling of the dishwasher ended, so it will continue to the wash cycle. I have repleced the OWI sense and measured the resistane from the electronic module seem "ok". I have also replaced the electronic control module. I have hand filled the tub with hot water and still can not get it to start the wash cycle. HELP !!!!
Answer Kent, There are two systems, when it comes to a fill cycle on a dishwasher, the "float" or overfill switch, and a maximum fill time, controlled through the board circuitry. Ideally, the float rises with the water level in the tub, the switch opens and the circuit to the fill valve ceases and the water stops. If there is a slow fill issue, and the float switch isn't opened in a preset amount of time(3 to 5 minutes) the control board activates the wash motor and opens the water valve fill circuit and the water stops. At this point, with a new control board and the dishwasher filling and stopping the fill, we need to start checking the motor capacitor and the P9(blue/red) wire and P5(blue/white) wire from the control board to the motor.
