Chad February 01, 2020 for Model Number wp8531257 Wanting to know what the front of the control panel lights read. The letters are rubbed almost clear off. Not the top buttons, but the green-lighted settings on the front. I can read the last two....clean and sanitize. Also, what does the button next to the power button do? I'm guessing it tells the machine to drain. Thanks!
1 Answer Chad, the front of the panel is going to read from left to right as follows: Sensing Soak, Add a Dish, Water Heating, Clean, and Sanitize. The button next to the Start button is the Cancel button. Read More...

Rosie February 04, 2014 for Model Number KUDS01DLSS5 My Kitchen Aid dishwasher KUDS01DLSS5 won't stop running. The door was closed when I touched it and got a small static shock. Must be too dry in our home. It then immediately started running which sounds like the drain pump. Now the only way to turn it off is to open the door. I tried flipping the breaker off and on but that didn't help. What part do we need to replace. I appreciate any help you can give me.
1 Answer Hello Rosie. It sounds like the control board WP8564543 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Mark November 10, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01DLSS5 When power is turned off and back on. The display shows 2 and the sump pump runs. The pause button will stop the pump but no other buttons work. After that process. The display shows (--) and the normal lights flashes continually. No other buttons will operate. I jumped out the door switch and nothing changes. Normal light flashes and nothing happens when the other buttons are pushed. Control panel or control board? What is the part number? Thank you.
1 Answer Mark, You'll need the control panel WP8531257. "PROBLEM: WON’T RUN AND LED ABOVE KEY(S) IS BLINKING = a) Stuck key(s) or shorted circuit(s) in keypad. b)Shorted circuits or connections on the control that read the keys. PROBLEM: WON’T START AND TWO DASHES APPEAR IN DISPLAY a) Loose connections between door switches and pin 8 on control. b) Control not receiving Start key (or cycle key, if model has no Start key)." You've already eliminated the door switches and control board. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Mark. The dashes are for a bad door switch or latch assembly on the unit. You may need to adjust the latch or replace the switch. Also, check the wiring. Read More...

Mike December 24, 2011 for Model Number kuds01ijbl0 our kitchenaid superba dishwasher does not work, "Rinse only" blinking. Please advise what part should i replace?
1 Answer Mike, You're on track, "STUCK KEY: If the control detects that a key is stuck in the depressed position, dishwasher operation will be suspended and the control will flash the light for that key until the condition is corrected. If a key without a light is stuck or multiple keys are stuck, the control will flash the light for the Rinse Only/Quick Rinse key." You will also need to reset the control, "Pressing the following option keys in the sequence shown will either start the Diagnostics Cycle or turn on the Rapid Advance feature for stepping through customer selectable cycles: Or SANI RINSE, AIR DRY, SANI RINSE, AIR DRY (Note: HI TEMP SCRUB = HI TEMP SCOUR) (Note: AIR DRY = NO HEAT DRY = ENERGY SAVER DRY) HI TEMP SCRUB, AIR DRY, HI TEMP SCRUB, AIR DRY" Allow the control to advance through the complete diagnostic test, in order to reset the control. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
