Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Electronic Control Board (Part Number: OEM18056139)

Sue for Model Number KUDS30IVBL3

I've had increasing problems with the front control panel. First, the LEDs for the heavy duty, normal and light/china cycles stayed lit constantly at a low level. If you push a button, the light goes to bright. Then the clean light would not light at the end of a cycle. Now pushing the 4 hr delay causes the cycle start to be delayed, but only for 10-20 minutes or so. Finally, lights will come on randomly (usually on the normal or delay buttons) and stay lit for a while, or blink continuously for a while before going out. The mechanics of the dishwasher are fine - the cycle runs and the dishes are clean. Is this likely to be a problem with the control panel, the electronic control board, both? Shutting off the power for a few minutes to reboot the dishwasher hasn't helped.

Cathy, Make sure that there is nothing clogged in the pump but this will most likely be an issue with the control board.

Hank with the control panel having lights on continuously then this would most likely be caused by a control board that is sending power to the display when in the off position.

Pat, With some buttons working but other buttons not working this issue would be with the control panel of the unit.

Erica for Model Number 665.13102K902

For the past few uses, I found the "Normal Wash" light flashing red just intermittently. I emptied the dishwasher after it had run, came back by later, and it was flashing. Then it was flashing again the other day but I was able to turn it off by pushing the button and the cancel button. Tonight I turned it on to run and left the room. Not much later, I came back and the red light was flashing beside normal wash as well as the red light for the cancel button. Pushing these does not work. I tried throwing the breaker, leaving it for 30 seconds. When I came back the red normal wash light was still flashing, and the start/resume was flashing green. However, there is no effect when I push these buttons. I even tried throwing the breaker for half an hour or so to the same result.

Erica, This issue would be caused by a stuck keypad and will require the control panel of the unit to be replaced.

Chad for Model Number 665.13482K902

At times my control panel won't respond but takes time and a lot of work to get it to through. When washing, it won't switch from different cycles or able to change options. I have noticed though when washing the Cancel / Drain button will be light up red. When it was washing it would have the light on for "Drying" was lite up. I have no idea how to reset the dishwasher like others have been talking about. I have a 665.13482K902 I've grown frustrated with this dishwasher...

1 Answer

Chad, The most likely cause for the issue that you are having with your unit will be a faulty electronic control board. To reset the unit it is just turning the power supply to the unit off for about 15 to 20 minutes.
