Jean-Pierre P. November 14, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore 665.16389300 Hello! My problem is that the heating element is broken but the dishwasher works. I read on some websites that if I change the element I also have to change the control board. I would like to know if it is true and what is the reason to do so. Thank you very much. Jean-Pierre Pelland majelo9@hotmail.com
1 Answer Hello! Yes, due to manufacturer changes the electronic board must be replaced when replacing the heating element. They come in a kit as part number 8194200. Thanks. Read More...
Ron B November 14, 2014 for Model Number GU1500XTLS2 My unit has pwr. To it, but the control panel w/n work properly causing the unit not to work. When i unplug & replug the 120 vac cord to reset it, the normal & rinse cycle led's come on & the no. 2 is displayed in the window. I do here the drain pump working for a short while then it stops. After that happens the normal & rinse cycle led's start flashing & the time remaining window has 2 green steady "on" dashes. No other buttons on the control panel light-up when pressed. I do notice the anti-bacterial & pots/pans buttons do not have that spring back feel to them like the other buttons do on the c/p.
1 Answer Ron, With the normal and rinse cycle keys flashing, this would be an indication of a stuck keypad in which the control panel would need to be replaced. The part number for the control panel for this unit is WP8534839. Read More...

Patrick August 17, 2014 for Model Number KUDS01IJBS0 My Kitcheaid KUDS01IJBS0 dishwasher stopped working last week. I can press all the buttons and get the corresponding LED indicator to illuminate, but when I try to start a cycle it will not start. The seven segment displays both show "--" and when I press start nothing happens. I opened up the control panel and "ohmed" out the buttons and they all work, assuming the response I get on the meter is as expected. The value I read is around 30 ohms and it does jump around a bit. I made the measurements with power off and the ribbon cable connector disconnected from the control board. I also tried to run the diagnostics and that seemed to work. I am assuming a control board issue, but I wanted to make sure it is not something simple like a sensor stopped working. The issue did start when I noticed the add sani rinse indicator was stuck on. Not sure if that is related to the issue. It would help if I knew what all the connectors on the control board go to. Anyways any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Patrick, Since you have tested the touch panel, I would assume that, as long as something is not holding the flood float up, the control WP8564543 is the component with the issue. As a manufacturers' note: Per factory, this sub should only have 3 terminals. The P4(Y) terminal which was on the original control has been removed and not used on this control. Read More...
Otob18 August 10, 2014 for Model Number KUDP01ILBT0 The "Energy Saver Dry" and the "Cancel" button are constantly flashing, I have tried turning the breaker on and off but the "Energy Saver Dry" light flashes. Also, I cannot reset the circuit board. Do I need to replace the circuit board or the push button controller?
1 Answer Hello Otob18, This is the indication that those two keys on the control panel WP8531244 are stuck. It will have to be replaced to correct the issue. Read More...
Macinac July 20, 2014 for Model Number GU1500XTLQ3 Attaching to the electronic control board on the left side is a green ribbon cable. I cannot find this as a separate part. Is it included with the electronic control board? (I have burn damage on both the control board and the cable.)
1 Answer Macinac, the green ribbon cable only comes available with the control panel part number WP8534840. Thanks! Read More...
Macatk July 16, 2014 for Model Number KUDS01DJSB0 RE: Kitchenaid (Whirlpool) Dishwasher #: KUDS01DJSB0 Greetings! We are beginning to experience issues with this dishwasher. We always run in the "Normal" mode with "Energy Saver Dry". Recently though we are not able to select "Normal". The "Quick Rinse" light is on (which is unusual), so we push the "Normal" button but nothing happens. Nor are we able to select the "Energy Saver Dry". I have been able to make it work by performing the Reboot sequence, then hitting the "Cancel" button and the "Normal" light is then lite so we run the load as usual. But if we let the system go to sleep, we have the same issue again with the "Quick Rinse". Any guidance would be appreciated! Mac
1 Answer Mac, The control board WP8564543 isn't the issue. The problem is in the keypads on the control panel 8531014. Replace the control panel and reset the control board and you should be alright. Read More...
Bill June 11, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool DU1050XTPT3 I purchased the fuse kit from APP and after installing it, the dishwasher still would not work. There is no sign of power at all to the control panel. I tested the outlet where the dishwasher is plugged in and that works fine. Also, when installing the fuse kit, it would not snap onto the frame no matter how many times I tried to get it to do so :( From reading some of the posts, others have said this sort of problem is typically the fuse kit, and if not that, possibly the control panel. Before I purchase the control panel, is there anything else I should be checking first? I'm trying to avoid having to have my dad buy a new dishwasher, but don't want to buy another part that may not solve the problem. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Bob B. May 27, 2014 for Model Number KUDR01TJBL0 I can change type of wash selection I want if I run my finger across the board. Example; from heavy to normal to quick rinse. No matter what setting I get to the light to come on I cannot get the dishwasher to start. It does run for the drain and reset buttons as it pumps out fine in its normal 2 minute cycle but it will not start up in any of the selected wash settings. Again, if I push the button selector for the wash cycle I want it will not change but it I slide my finger across the selector for wash cycles it will change but still will not start. Do you think my problem is the control panel?
1 Answer Bob, Yes the issue is in the control panel WP8270229, not the control board. several of the keypad circuits have failed and are inputting information to the control board and causing it to "lock up" and not operate. Read More...
Wei May 21, 2014 Hi, I have a Whirlpool gold quiet partner III dishwasher for almost ten years. The "normal" wash cycle recently quit working. I pushed the button but nothing happens. But if I push other wash cycles such as "pots & pans", it works just fine. Could you please help me understand what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks!!
1 Answer Hello Wei. It sounds like the control panel is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
