Mike February 08, 2012 for Model Number GU1100XTLQ1 The dishwasher sometimes will drain the water out and sometimes it won't. Never had this problem before. It just started doing this
1 Answer Mike, Check and make sure the accumulator 8193918 in the center bottom of the tub is not blocked or clogged with debris. Disconnect the dishwasher drain hose from the disposal or sink drain connection, and drain the dishwasher into a large bucket/container, this should flush any debris in the drain hose and pump assembly. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Rascal D February 03, 2012 for Model Number Kitchenaide KUDS01FLWH6 Dishwasher wasn't draining so I installed drain pump AP3133590. Dishwasher still not draining. What else could the problem be?
1 Answer Rascal, You may want to disconnect the dishwasher drain hose from the disposal or sink drain connection and drain the dishwasher into a bucket. It will flush any clogs or debris in the drain hose and drain pump, and varify a possible drain issue in the sink plumbing. We're presuming the drain pump motor does run in the drain cycle.

Kim February 02, 2012 for Model Number KUDS01FLWH6 My Kitchenaide dishwasher has been making a loud grinding noise and not emptying the water. I just changed the drain pump part #AP3133590. The old part was missing two blades. The machine still does not drain but the noise seems to be gone. I found some You Tube videos that helped me change the pump. I noticed in the video that the electric connections, based on wire color of blue and green, were reversed from my pump. Does this matter? Should I be looking at part circulation motor part # AP4434021 or AP4434617 Circulation pump and motor assembly? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Kim. You will need to check and see if the drain hose for the unit is clogged. If so, it will prevent the unit from draining properly. Also, make sure the wires are hooked up to the new motor WP661658 the same way they were on the old one. Hope this helps. Read More...
Henry T. October 26, 2011 for Model Number GU2400XTPS6 Dear Expert! Last washed,dishwasher stopped in half way. Bad fuse,I replaced a new fuse than now there is water still after the cycle is completed. Please tell me what is wrong. Thank you and you have a great day. Henry
1 Answer Hello Henry. Check and make sure the drain pump is working properly on the unit. If there is power to it, but it does not run, you will need to replace the drain pump WP661658. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Rey October 23, 2011 for Model Number GU1100XTLB1 I just bought a new Electronic command board in your company, it solved the blinking green light in a normal( membrane switch)and the partial water that was not pump out every time the cycle ends, it complete all the cycle, with no problem. The green light end up in -clean (membrane switch)while the old one that I got, the green lights end up in -normal(membrane switch)is your board deffective or what?
1 Answer Hello Rey. Customarily with electronic dishwashers, the green "clean light " will come up at the completion of a wash cycle. It Is correct. Thank You. Read More...
Nick October 01, 2011 for Model Number 665.17473300 after running a cycle, there is still water in base.however when cancel is used all water drains.so is this a pump problem or a board problem. so pump seems to be working or is pump weak and not getting water out fast enough.thank you for your time and help
1 Answer Nick, Your drain issue is more likely a restricted drain hose, or inefficient drain pump. You should also remove the accumulator(top of the pump motor) and check for debris blocking the sump araea inside the assembly. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Paul C. July 28, 2011 for Model Number kuds01Ijbs0 Not draining, ordered part ap3133590. However need directions for repalcement. Please send. Also, is there a tool/device to see if the drain pump is good or bad and what is it called and the method to check for its integrity and the parameters to determine if its good. Paul
1 Answer Hello Paul. You will need to uninstall the dishwasher and lay it on its back. Then with one hand press the tab that secures the pump assembly, and with the other hand rotate the pump counterclockwise to remove. Reinstall in reverse order. To test the pump, you will use a multi-meter and check for voltage coming to the pump assembly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Don April 22, 2011 for Model Number GU1100XTLQ1 Water won't drain out of dishwasher. It is supposed to drain when you hit the cancel button but doesn't. I do how ever hear the motor humming. I took the hoses all loose and there is no obstructions. Think maybe the pump/motor assembley has given out?
1 Answer Hello Don. If the hoses are clear, then it sounds like the pump is bad. Check and make sure the pump is not clogged, if it is clear as well, replace the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ben April 20, 2011 for Model Number 665.16534201 I recently bought and installed AP4434617 in my dishwasher. It works, but now it leaks out of the drain pump. The pump works as it drained more water out than leaked on the floor. Would I need a new pump or would the o-ring have not sealed correctly?
1 Answer Hello Ben. You will need to look and see where the pump assembly is leaking from. If it is coming from around the seal, check and make sure the o-ring is in the proper location and it is locked into the sump assembly correctly. If it is good, you may need to replace the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
Randy April 13, 2011 for Model Number KUDP01iLBSO I replaced the circuit board as you recommended and I'm still having the same problem. The dishwasher will work and drain fine using other cycles. When I use the Normal cycle, it doesn't drain the water out. Why would the drain pump work in other cycles and not the normal cycle? If the pump was bad it wouldn't work with any of the cycles correct?
1 Answer Hello Randy. The only way the pump would not work in the normal cycle only, is the board is not sending power to the pump during that cycle. If you replaced the board, then you will need to test and see if the board is sending power to the pump during the normal cycle. If so, and the pump is not running, you will need to change the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
