Mark T October 15, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01FLSS Recently the Kitchenaid KUDS01FLSS6 dishwasher stopped in mid stream and the clean light is flashing and you cannot turn it on. I looked up some forum information on this and found a Kitchenaid site that directed me to try to reset the control board and it would not reset. It said that more than likely it was the control board and to replace it. I found the correct control board on your site but would like some instructions on how to replace it. Do you have any directions for this? Mark
1 Answer Hello Mark. Clean light flashing, Press heated dry, Normal, heated dry, Normal, heated dry, Normal, and the unit should start. Let it complete and then it should work. If not, the heating circuit is failing in the unit. Read More...
Dave October 11, 2013 for Model Number Kitchenaid KUDS01FLSS6 Currently my control board is an 8564542. which I'm abut to replace. In researching this control board, I was told by Whirlpool that the 8564542, and a number of older boards, has been super-ceded by 8564543. When I asked about the difference, I was told that the fusible link had been removed from the board. I think I found a reference about a certain pin on the board being removed. My question: Is the fusible link, referred to on the diagnostic chart, the square white thermal connector, I think the P/N is AP3178588, that clips to the board case? If that's the fusible link that's been eliminated, where do the two wires go that connected to the connector?
1 Answer Hello Dave. No, the link was made onto the boards and is no longer put there. You will still use the thermal fuse. Read More...
Ylow281 October 08, 2013 for Model Number KUDM01TJBT0 Hi, My Kitchenaid dishwasher stopped working. The start button does nothing when you push it, as well as the high temp scrub button. The delay button works as well as the cancel/drain button. I flipped the power switch to it off and back on and no change. Do you think I need to replace the touchpad? If so what is the part #?
1 Answer Hello Ylow281. You need to order and replace part number WP8270228 on the unit. Read More...

Jesse September 26, 2013 for Model Number gu1500xtks0 My dish washer stop working last night. When I press the any of the cycle buttons the light illuminates but nothing happens. When I press the cancel button the unit does what sounds to be the appropriate cancel operation for 2 minutes. The display lights up when running cancel. My guess is that the logic board or possibly a connection is faulty. Does this seem like the best thing to try to repair? thank you
1 Answer Jesse, You will certainly want to check the connections but you will also to check to see if there is power to the water valve. If the unit does not fill then it will not go into a cycle. If this check s ok then the issue would be caused by a faulty logic board. Read More...
Evan September 25, 2013 for Model Number KUDM01TJWHO Unit will not start when you press the start button. The door switch is okay. All lights work on the front panel. I turned off the power and disconnected the ribbon cable to the electronic control assembly and left it off for one hour. I reconnected the ribbon cable and turned the power back on and the unit works. I have done this several times and it repeats the above action. Is there a computer in there that gets reprogrammed with the power off? Is the problem with the console front panel or the electronic control board?
1 Answer Hello Evan. You will need to order and replace the control panel WP8270227 on the unit. Read More...
Ron September 02, 2013 for Model Number kudpo2crblo I replaced the door handel switch, electionic control and the board.It did not help, the dishwasher will not start. When you push the start button, the normal light keeps blinking and will not start.
1 Answer Hello Ron. Check the door switches and make sure they are good. If so, you will need to order and replace the control panel WP8572354 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...
Mark September 01, 2013 for Model Number KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDP01FLSS2 Dishwasher stopped in mid-cycle. After opening up the door console, found a blackened/charred wiring harness where it connects to the control board (connector pins parallel to the relays in the upper right corner of the picture on your site). Control board is also badly damaged at the connector. So I need to replace the wiring harness and control board, at minimum. Are there any other parts that I should check for damage? UI buttons and lights all appear to function correctly. Thanks!
1 Answer Mark, Based on your description and location of the damaged wires WP8534932 and control WP8564543 , we'd recommend you also check the resistance of the heater element 8194200 and the hi limit thermostat WP661566 and wires. We wouldn't expect the wash motor or drain pump to be the issue at this point. Read More...
Raymond L. August 25, 2013 for Model Number GU1100XTLS1 Hi- my 8 year old whirlpool stopped mid cycle, and the rinse only light flashes. Shut the breaker and tried to reset, same problem. When I hit cancel, that starts flashing too. My question is electronic control or touch pad? I'm hesitant to drop $135 without knowing which one is bad, and I don't want to drop $270 for both when I could just buy new for a few bucks more. Thanks, Ray
1 Answer Hello Ray, This is going to be a heating circuit failure fault code if it flashes seven times and pauses and repeats. Otherwise it will be a stuck key on the touchpad. There are only 5 components in the heating circuit: the control board, the door switch, the thermistor, the heating element, and the harness. The wiring diagram should give sufficient information for troubleshooting these circuits. This will be on the tech sheet behind the kickpanel in a plastic bag. Be aware that resetting the clean light by doing the self-diagnostic cycle does not correct the issue and the heating element is the first suspect. The most common cause of this is a bad heating element. You can test it with a test meter. It should not read open. If it does, it will have to be replaced. The high limit thermostat is located under the unit mounted to the bottom of the tub. It should read no resistance and is bad if it reads a resistance or open. Read More...
Dorothy August 19, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01FKSS1 My dishwasher never stops. It just cycles over and over again without stopping. What part should I be buying?
1 Answer Dorothy, With the unit continuously cycling then the issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board WP8564543. Read More...
