1 Answer Hello John. Check and see if the float inside the unit is stuck up and not dropping down to let in water. If not, you may want to test the float switch 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...
Casper August 11, 2013 for Model Number Kitchenaide KUDS25ShBT1 Unit cut off during cycle with dirty water standing in bottom; appears to have been in rinse cycle as water is slightly cloudy but not fully dirty. Keypad reacts irregularaly; if Start button is pushed, nothing happens. If Cancel button is pushed, light on Cancel button lights and machine immediately starts to operate, pumping water, but still does not complete the cycle. Cuts off before cycle and drying are performed. Other keypad buttons seem to operate properly when pushed, just will not start with Start button.
1 Answer Hello Casper. You will need to check the door switches. If good, replace the control panel and make sure drain pump and hose is not clogged. Read More...
Jim S July 27, 2013 for Model Number KUDPO1ILWH6 My Kitchen Aid dishwasher doesn't work. When you shut the door the 'Normal' light blinks, but nothing else. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Jim, With the normal light blinking this will be an indication that you have a stuck keypad which the control panel WP8531251 would need to be replaced. Read More...
Phillip July 04, 2013 for Model Number kudmoitjclo8269913 The dishwasher will not run or have water come thouGH it to do the washing.
1 Answer Hello Phillip. Check and see if the float is stuck. If not, test for power to the water valve. If there is power there and no water, replace the valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Spencer K. July 01, 2013 for Model Number DU1145XTPQ1 What is causing the thermal fuse to fail? I have replaced this part 5 times since I bought this dishwasher?
1 Answer Hello Spenser. You must replace the wiring with the new fuse. If this is being done, then replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Joe June 24, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01FLSS2 This machine is driving me to drink! The control panel has power, but when you chose the wash and dry cycles, it only turns on like 10% of the time. Otherwise you chose the cycle push the on button, close the door and nothing. What gives?
1 Answer Hello Joe. It sounds like the interface WP8270168 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Pete June 17, 2013 for Model Number KUDSO1FLSS2 The unit appears completely dead. No lights, no resonse to buttons...nothing. I checked kitchen circuit breakers...no problem there, but the problem seems to be a power issue. Before I get a guy out the check it, is there a simple solution? like a fuse, maybe? If so, where is it? Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Pete. It sounds like the thermal fuse 8193762 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Thomas R. June 16, 2013 for Model Number FDB1500LFCO Frigidaire Dishwasher won't start. No lights on the control panel.
1 Answer Hello Thomas. Test for power to the control board. If there is power there, and the unit does not light up, you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
David May 27, 2013 for Model Number GU2548XTPQ1 The clean light was on I opened the door removed the clean dishes and closed it and the clean light usually goes out. This time it stays on and won't start. Is it the door switch or fuse?
1 Answer David, This issue sounds like there may be an open led circuit in the keypad which would require the keypad to be replaced. Read More...
Dan May 15, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01DJSS0 My dishwasher will NOT heat during either the wash or dry cycles. The total time to cycle through is about 2 1/2 hours. Incoming water is 122F at the kitchen sink but lower in the bottom of the d/w after filling. The control panel lights; "heating", "add a dish", and "sensing" remain lit throughout the entire wash cycle. Continuity tests include; Thermal fuse @ .3 Ohms, Hi-li it thermostat @ .6-.8 Ohms, Thermistor @ 59-60 Ohms @69F, and Heating element @ 9.6-10 Ohms, which according to your last response are all good. Checking multiple times during both the wash and dry cycles, the heating element never gets hot. The wiring looks good, but what can I check to verify this? Can this be a circuit board issue? Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.
1 Answer Dan, You will want to check to make sure that the heater is getting power to turn on. There should be 120 vac at the control board on connector P6 to Neutral. If there is not then you will need to replace the control board. Read More...
