Todd July 31, 2013 for Model Number KUDIO1FLSS6 I have a kitchen aid dishwasher and there are no lights on the control panel. I checked with a multi meter and I have 120v to the appliance. Furthermore I checked the thermal fuse and it's correctly reading closed. I also checked the voltage at the thermal fuse and it's 120v. About a week ago I replace the main water pump (old one was leaking). Everything was working well but after running it 3 times with the new pump it quit in the middle of the cycle and there are no lights at the control panel. From reading the posts on the forum and on your site everything seemed to point to the electronic control board (pn 8564543). I ordered that from your site and replaced it but there are still no lights on the control panel. What should I try next?
1 Answer Hello Todd. The thermal fuse 8193762, even though it is testing good, it most likely failing under a load and will need to be replaced with the new wiring sent with it. It is commong to test good but fail under a load. You can test for power passing through it but be carefula dn do not get shocked. Read More...
Bill G June 21, 2013 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.
1 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.

Forthecos June 06, 2013 for Model Number kuds01ijbs0 My unit appears to be dead. The fuse that is attached to the control board was burnt but still made continunity. I did replace the fuse but the unit is still dead. I do have power to the unit. No lights. Do you think it might be the control board and is there a way to check it before I buy a new one. Also what would cause the fuse to burn?
1 Answer Forthecos, If you have 120 vac going into the control board but nothing coming out of the control board then the control board is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Fat Bob May 31, 2013 for Model Number KUDI01ILBS5 Washer was repaired a year ago with a new touch panel and things were good till almost the same day this year when there is nothing working. Someone looked at it and said "Control has a short in the fuse, Needs new control board." He gave me a number for the control board but it's no where near the price shown in this post. Where do I go?
1 Answer Fat Bob, The part number for the control board on your unit is correct WP8564543. Read More...
Kip May 11, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore Elite(Whirlpool) 665.17462300 No heat when washing or drying. Thermister, high temp and heat coil all test correct for resistance. Back of circuit board behind relays is black/melted in one area. Suspect it's the relay for the heat cycle. Will replace the circuit board but wondering if there is a root cause for the failure other than age (7 yrs). I don't want to blow a $150 part on install!
1 Answer Kip, You will want to check to make sure that the wiring does not have any shorts in it but it sounds like the board failed due to faulty or weak part. Read More...
Jeff April 25, 2013 for Model Number kudp01flbi6 I have a 7 year old Kitchenaid dishwasher. I have replaced the touch panel and interface about 6 months ago with no problems. Now the dishwasher has stopped working. I can push the buttons to start with the corresponding leds lighting up. If I hit start it blinks like it should. However, the unit never starts. The only other issue I have noticed is that before this lately we we would see dirty water left in the unit. I just cleaned the chopper assembly but still won't start. Also did the diagnostic test hitting the four button combination with no luck. What could be the problem?
1 Answer Jeff, You will want to check to make sure that when you hit start that you are getting power to the water valve. The water valve energizing is the first step in the process. If there is no power to the water valve you will want to check wiring from valve back to control panel board and if wiring checks ok then check to make sure that the connection between the control board and user interface is a firm connection.

Gino April 17, 2013 for Model Number KUDM01TJWH0 Hi, this is Gino again. My control unit could be bad, but I disconnected the ribbon wires from the board and connected them back. Flashing lights stopped, and my dishwasher is working again! I understand that it can be temporary solution, but if my dishwasher will stop again, I will try to disconnect the wires again. My question is, why the disconnecting wires worked, when unplugging did not? Does it give you any clue what part is faulty? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Gino. If the issue happens again, you will need to replace the control panel on the unit. If not, it sounds like you have got it fixed!! Read More...
Gino April 15, 2013 for Model Number KUDM01TJWH0 Dishwasher (model KUDM01TJWH0) stopped in the middle of the cycle full of water :( Cancel and Rinse lights are blinking. No buttons responds. As I have read I pushed HiTemp-EnergySave- HiTemp-EnergySave to reset it but nothing happened. The same thing happened about a month ago, I turned off the breaker and turned back on and the dishwasher started to work. But this is not the case now. What do I do now? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Gino. Make sure all door switches are good. The flashing lights are a sign of a faulty control panel on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Elaine S March 30, 2013 for Model Number kitchenaid KUDS01FL dishwasher The unit is approximately 7 years old. My husband just replaced the door tensioners and latch. It kept falling open & then latch didn't seem to be holding. The unit was working fine again after he fixed it. I have used it for several weeks but now no lights are coming on panel at all. Seems like it quit mid-cycle since there was still water in bottom. My husband has taken it apart. All the connections seem to be fine. Verified power is going to dishwasher & reset breaker but still no lights on panel & is not operating. Do you think it is the control board?
1 Answer Elaine, You will want to check the thermal fuse for in the control panel area for continuity. If there is no continuity then the fuse is bad and needs to be replaced. If the fuse is good make sure that there is power getting to the control board and check to make sure that the latch is making good contact. With door closed make sure that you have 120 vac at the latch assembly. If power getting to the control board and the latch has power then the control board would most likely be the cause.

Steve March 17, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool du940pwkq0 My unit will only work in the light wash cycle. None of the other buttons respond. The light wash function works fine. I am a master electrician and have checked all connections the board has no visible defects. Have you seen this before.
1 Answer Steve, A non responsive light on the display is a general indication that there is a problem with the user interface. Read More...
