Walter May 06, 2014 for Model Number KitchenAid dishwasher - KUDP01FLSS2 Hello! Five weeks ago the control board of my dishwasher (KitchenAid KUDP01FLSS2) was displaying a flashing light and was not operating. I changed out the control board, using the original thermal fuse, and all worked well for about 4 weeks. This time, the issue was the thermal fuse. I replaced it, but did not use the wires included with it, since the terminals of the existing wires fit perfectly on the poles of the new thermal fuse. The diswasher seemed to work perfectly, but it blew the thermal fuse again about 20 minutes into the wash cycle. I checked the thermostat, and it shows continuity. I also checked the heating element at the terminals (without removing it from the tub), and it shows continuity as well. Please advise your thoughts, as I have now blown the original fuse and a replacement fuse. I am concerned about installing and blowing a third fuse before diagnosing any other probable causes.
1 Answer Walter, you need to install the "complete" kit, including the wires. That's where the manufacturer traced the problem to. Also, since the heater and thermostat checks OK, you need to turn the power off, remove the junction box cover on the front frame and check the power supply wiring and wire nuts, for a good tight fit, and any weal or melted spots on the wires.

Carlos April 07, 2014 for Model Number kuds01flss6 kitchenaid When I press normal and start on the panel I close the dishwasher but nothing happens. I've turned off the breaker switch and turned on again but still not working. It would work before if I did that but now not working. The control lock works and I've reset the dishwasher , still not working.
1 Answer Carlos, You will want to check the door switch to make sure that it is engaging and that the switches are good. If the dishwasher is not sensing the door being latched then it will not start the cycle. Read More...
John February 08, 2014 for Model Number KUDP01FLSS1 No lights illuminate and seems to have no power, yet supply is fine. Recently replaced the control panel and cleaned the filter, which made all OK for about 2 months.
1 Answer There is a thermal fuse in the control panel that kills power to the dishwasher when it blows, Part 8193762 Read More...
Sam February 06, 2014 for Model Number du915pwkto qp 1 Washer works. Heat element does not. Is there a fuse problem?
1 Answer Hello Sam. Based on the information you provided, either the heating element, high limit, or control board is the issue. It is not the fuse. 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...
Karen February 01, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool dishwasher model GU2500XTPQ3 The light for a normal wash flashes continually but dishwasher will not run. Sometimes, although rarely, in the time remaining area, it will light up with a 1, or some other number, and an H as if using the delay start timer, and then goes back to a flashing normal light. I never even used the normal wash button, I always used the AccuSense button. Do you know what my problem could be?
1 Answer Hello Karen. Make sure the door switches are good and are making up properly. If so, then you will need to order and replace the control panel on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Dave K. January 10, 2014 for Model Number KitchAid KUDM24SEBL1 Hi, Dishwasher stopped mid-cycle. Unit not dead. No lights are illuminated on control panel and nothing works. Checked main house power panel and circuit breaker is OK. I disconnected leads to the thermal fuse on the dishwasher and checked continuity across the fuse, figuring this was the likely cause. My ohmmeter shows zero resistance across it, so that's not the issue. I removed the kick panel to check if power is getting to the dishwasher, but am intimidated by the mass of wiring underneath, and without pulling the dishwasher forward a bit from under the counter, really can't see where to check. I do see a wiring harness that feeds into the bottom of the dishwasher door with multiple wires. Am I missing some easy way to check power? The only other suspicious thing I saw when I had the control panel disconnected was that the translucent shields over the connectors attaching the wires to a part that looks like a white plastic or ceramic block just above and toward the left edge of the lower door panel (with control panel removed) are very yellow, like they have been overheated. The part is numbered 9742663. I would appreciate any help you can provide in troubleshooting. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Dave, Go to the breaker box and kill power to the unit. Remove the kick panel and look for a small galvanized box held in by one 5/16 inch head screw. Inside is the wiring connection from the home wiring. There should be two wires wire-nutted together and the ground wire around a ground screw. It is not an uncommon occurrence for one of the wire nuts to lose continuity and melt. This will cause no power to be supplied to the unit. If there is no issue notes, make sure nothing can contact ground and flip the breaker back on to test at this point for 120Vac. If nothing is there, the issue is in the home wiring or the breaker has failed in the breaker box. Read More...
Dennis December 27, 2013 for Model Number KUDR01TJBT0 Dishwasher runs through complete 'normal' cycle and at the end 'clean' light comes on and 'sani' light does too but it flashes continually, also dishes are wet. Whereas in the past 'sani' light would be solid and dishes dry and hot. Have checked heating element for continuity & it shows .04 ohms resistance & should be good. What else can I check?
1 Answer Dennis, You will want to check to make sure that there is power going to the heating element at the control board. Check when in the dry cycle for 120 vac to the heater. Make sure that the water temp coming into the unit is not too low and causing the unit to not be able to heat the water to the proper temp for sanitize. Also check the thermostat for the heater to make sure that it has continuity. Read More...
Don August 29, 2013 for Model Number KitchenAid Mod# KUDP01FLSS5 The Electronic Control Board part# AP3775506 caught on fire and fuse kit part has smoke / black but does not appear to be damaged but should it be replaced anyway. Also is the any other part that I should be concerned with as well.
1 Answer Hello Don. If the board was on fire, it is best to replace the fuse on the unit as well. Also, repair any burnt wires on the unit. Read More...
Arsenal G August 20, 2013 for Model Number GU2500 My Quiet Partner III dishwater won't work. None of the panel buttons illuminate. I looked at the board and it appeared there was a short. I replaced the board, but still nothing. Do I need to replace the thermal fuse as well? Thanks!
1 Answer Arsenal, You will want to check the thermal fuse to make sure that it has continuity. If it does not have continuity then you would need to replace the thermal fuse 8193762. Read More...
Handwashingfornow August 19, 2013 for Model Number KUDI01LBL6 Tried to run my Kitchenaid dishwasher & the only button that worked was the cancel button. It would light up & sound like it was going through a drain cycle, but nothing else would happen. So I'm hand washing until I can fix it.
1 Answer Handwashing for now, It isn't the fuse kit, or the dishwasher wouldn't drain. The more likely issue is one or more keypads have failed and you will need to replace the control panel/key pad assembly WP8531816. Read More...
