John M December 24, 2023 for Model Number KUDS01DJBL1 My thermal fuse keeps blowing. I just replaced the motor and drain pump. I think I may need to replace my heater element (resistance measured 9.5 ohms -- just below 10 ohm spec.). Or maybe the thermostat? According to your site, the heater element (and the electronic control box) has been discontinued. Can you recommend a heater element replacement? I think the control box is fine. You folks have kept this dishwasher alive for 22 years. I don't want to give up!
1 Answer John, You will want to check to see if the door switch is good. If it is then it sounds more likely a control board that is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
David September 14, 2023 for Model Number KUDS01FLBT1 The heating element is bad, but looks like there is no replacement available for it. But in looking at the pictures mine isn't shaped the same as the replacement was anyway (it's more of a round one). I've seen pictures of other ones that look similar to the one in my dishwasher. If I just get another one that looks the same and fits, will that work, or do I have to buy a new dishwasher since the OE heating element isn't available any more
1 Answer Hello David, the original round heating element was replaced by an updated heater and a control board with updated software for a number of reasons, however the new heater and board kit is no longer available from the manufacturer.WP8194200 . Read More...

1 Answer Sandra, Thanks for the question!!! Sorry, but the manufacturer has not given a replacement for this part number. Read More...
J.V.T. April 13, 2021 for Model Number KUDS01FLSS3 I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher KUDS01FLSS3 with a bad heater element. I see that replacement part 8194200 - which itself was a replacement for a previous number with a new control board - is no longer available. Seeing as my element is round, not angled, I assume that my unit had the earlier part. Is there a suitable replacement alternative from elsewhere in the Whirlpool family?
1 Answer Hello J.V.T., If you need heating element only, you can use W10518394 for the model provided. Read More...

Ali May 31, 2020 for Model Number KUDP01ILBL2 My heating element burnt out. The old element was the old horse shoe type element. The replacement part 8194200 is no longer available on your website or anywhere else. I checked my control board and it appears to be the new style control board (Whirlpool P/N 8534866 REV. REL). Can I just purchase the heating element instead of the kit?
1 Answer Hello Ali, the new design heater (in the kit ) was not given a part number so it is not able to be found separately and the manufacturer has discontinued the Heating Element /Board kit. 8194200. Read More...
Frank January 19, 2019 for Model Number KUDSO2FRSS1 Hi, I have a KitchenAid KUDSO2FRSS1. It is just started running crazy hot. It completes all the cycles and drains fine, but just gets way too hot. Because it does the whole cycle, I assume the thermal fuse hasn't blown. Is the overheating caused by the control board and heating element or could there be a thermostat issue?
1 Answer Frank, there could be an issue either with the OWI sensor or the control. The way to test this is if you have the power to the dishwasher turned off at the breaker, you can test by accessing the control panel. With the power completely off to the unit, you will want to remove the yellow wires at p15. You will then want to test resistance of wire 1 to wire 3. At room temperature it should read between 48 to 52 kohms. If it does not read within this range, you have a bad OWI sensor WPW10705575. If it reads within this range, you most likely have a control board WPW10084141 issue. The most your dishwasher should reach in temperature is going to be 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Read More...
Brett April 15, 2018 for Model Number KUDL01ILBS2 I broke the round heating element when I pulled the bottom rack and a handle caught in it. I replaced the rounded element with a new one, also the rounded one. Then my original board burned out at a later time. I just replaced the control board with a new one (part number 8564543. Is it ok to use this part with the older rounded heating element or do I have to use the newer element also?
1 Answer Brett, You will want to use the heating element that comes in the kit with the board. This was a redesign by the manufacturer and need to use it. Read More...
Brent W March 10, 2018 for Model Number 66516593200 Hello, i just bought and installed the replacement heating element kit, 8194200. The dishwasher now has the fault light (clean light blinking 7 times). I've checked all connections and everything is tight. Are you aware of any other reasons for this fault? Any idea how to correct this? Thank you
1 Answer Brent, Check the thermostat to make sure that it is good for continuity and if it checks ok then the control board will be the issue with this unit. Read More...
Luis March 02, 2018 Does the upgraded Whirlpool dishwasher circuit board come with the bimetal thermal switch or does that have to be purchased separately?
1 Answer Luis, It does not show that the bimetal thermal switch comes with the board. This would most likely have to be purchased separately. Read More...
