Gerardo G. May 03, 2012 for Model Number KUDM01FKSS0 Suddenly the machine started running continously with the door closed, all of the lights on the touch board lit. Replaced control panel and it did not correct the problem. Replaced control board next and now the machine does nothing: does not start, does not drain, control panel allows selection of program, light illuminates but at the same time, the clean light flashes continously. Please advise so I may correct this problem. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Gerardo, The clean light blinking 7 times is a fault code for the water heating circuit on board the unit. If the control doesn't see a predetermined increase of temperature in a set amount of time, the code will flash. First off, be sure you always run the hot water at the sink before starting a cycle to shorten the wash cycle. The most probable cause of this fault code is the heating element going open. Other possible causes are the door switch WP8269209, the control board WP8564543, the Hi-limit thermostat WP661566, and the wiring harness. Of course the first thing I would recommend is to visually inspect the heating element Heating element kit- This dishwasher heating element is for stainless steel tubs only. Includes a new computer board that needs to be replaced along with the element. For plastic tubs use W10518394. Part Number: 8194200 . If it has burned in to of course it will need replacement. If there is a white place, or much lighter place present it will need to be tested to ensure your not replacing a good part. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html . The wiring diagram should be found behind the kick panel and will guide you to the fore-mentioned components which you may need to test. After repair you will also have to place the unit into the diagnostic mode to reset the control so it can run through cycles again. This procedure is as follows: On the control panel....heated dry,normal,heated dry,normal - OR - High temp,air dry,high temp,air dry. These keys must be pressed within 10 seconds to set the control into diagnostics. At this point you can allow it to go all the way through the self-diagnostic cycle or you can press cancel. Sure hope this helps you solve your problem! Read More...
Martin May 02, 2012 for Model Number kudso1flss1 Dishwasher wont start. I can select type of wash I want, but start button wont work! If I press cancel, the draining of machine works. Water pressure is good and reaches machine o.k. Is there anything I can do, any buttons to press or reset? What parts do I need to buy if any? thanks
1 Answer Hello Martin. Make sure the door switches are good on the unit. If so, it sounds like the user interface WP8270168 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Jeff P. May 01, 2012 for Model Number KUDP01DLWH5 The clean light actually flashes continually, not just 7 times. I'm still wondering if there is not a way to force the dishwasher to drain during the diagnostics cycle. I think the cold water in the tub may be making it think the heater is not working, since that old cold water never drains out. What's the best way of finding out if the drain motor is working?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. According to the manufacture, if there is a light that continues to flash on the unit, then the control panel 8531252 needs to be replaced. This is an error code for a stuck button on the unit. Read More...
Jeff P. May 01, 2012 for Model Number KUDP01DLWH5 My control board on my KitchenAid dishwasher burnt out so I replaced it. Now when I'm trying to get it going, there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher that won't drain. I've gone through the diagnostic cycle but the water is still there. After the diagnostic mode, I can start a normal cycle but about 6-10 minutes in, the LCD display jumps to 2 and the Clean LED starts flashing. Does this mean my drain motor is also burnt out? How can I test this for sure? I'm not sure I understand exactly how the diagnostic mode is supposed to be used. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Jeff. If the clean light blinks 7 times, then the heater circuit of the dishwasher is bad and you will need to test the heater and the thermostat to see if either one is bad. They should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Carlos C. April 30, 2012 for Model Number KUDR01TJBT0 I have just received the part, and the plugs aren't the same. I've been advised that this is the direct replacement of the original part, so I need some installation instructions.

Robert Clary April 10, 2012 for Model Number kudi01tjblo I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher. The heavy load light is blinking and nothing works except the cancel drain button. I replaced the control board because nothing worked at all and the control board had a hot spot and the plastic housing was also discolored. Now the heavy load just blinks. Is this the control panel. It will not run the diagnosis. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Robert, If the control senses a stuck key, the light that the key is stuck for will flash and the unit will be disabled until the stuck key situation is rectified. What I just said is that it looks like the part you need to correct this issue is the control panel/membrane switch. For black order WP8270223. For white order WP8270224. For bisque order WP8270225.

Frank March 31, 2012 for Model Number GU1200XTLS2 "cancel" button and "crystal china" button blinking. Press "rinse only" button and now all three lights blinking. Press "cancel" and "rinse only" light goes out and "crystal china" and "cancel" stay blinking. Press any other buttons with no response. "cancel" and "crystal china" still blinking. Is it the control unit (P/N 8564543 or the control panel(P/N 8534833 with the buttons} that needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Frank, You most likely have a faulty keypad assembly, : "PROBLEM: WON’T RUN AND LED ABOVE KEY(S) IS BLINKING > Stuck key(s) or shorted circuit(s) in keypad. > Check keypad. 2. Shorted circuits or connections on the control that read the keys.> Check control." WP8534833. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Ray March 03, 2012 for Model Number KUDS01FLSS6 KitchenAid Dishwaher - KUDS01FLSS6. The clean light blinks 7 times. Have already changed the heater element and the User Interface. I can put it in diagnostic mode and it starts to run through the cycles but then stops with the blinking light. Any suggestions? Thx
1 Answer Hello Ray. It sounds like the control board WP8564543 is bad and will need to be replaced. Make sure the thermostat in the heater circuit is reading closed for continuity.

Bryan February 22, 2012 for Model Number KUDS01DJSS0 New control panel, new control board and diagnosis cycle makes non sense compared to that listed on p/n 8269519 enters diagnostic mode displays 88 and all led's lit d1 displayed next and normal cycle lit 11 displayed next and rinse only cyle lit skips 10 and 9 8 displayed and normal cycle lit 7 displayed and rinse only cylce lit 6 displayed and normal cycle lit 5 displayed and rinse only cycle lit 4 displayed and normal cycle lit 3 displayed and rinse only lit 2 displayed and normal cycle and sensing/soak both lit 1 displayed and rinse only and sensing/soak lit then all are off and cannot select a cycle and get it to run with start key only 2 minute pumpout if you hit cancel key thermistorgood, heater good, wax motor moves, pumps run any help would be appreciated
1 Answer Hi Bryan. So since all keypad lights work then communication between the control board and the keypad are good. You need to see if the motor windings are in spec's. and not shorted. The tech. sheet will assist w/this. Is the motor locked down as if the chopper blade may have something holding it? Volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1. All electrical devices have to be within 10% total value in order to be good. Is the unit getting the full 120 vac at the board while the door switches are tripped ? Look at the fill switch under the float to see if the float stem is correctly activating the float switch. Did you ohm out the water valve to see if it is open or shorted to the body mount ? Thank You. Read More...
