Aleya June 06, 2023 for Model Number KDFE104DSS0 Our dishwasher tablets are not getting dissolved, and dishes are not being cleaned. Checked that inlet valve/float switch both register appropriate ohms, wash arms are clear (not clogged), tablet dispenser wasn't being blocked, water is entering dishwasher and is hot, but there are no washing sounds during wash cycle, only a distinct hum. Draining function seems to be working as expected. I think I narrowed it down to the circulation pump or pump/motor assembly being the problem. Leaning towards replacing the latter in case it's more than the circulation pump. (Hoping it's not also the computer board) Wondering if you have any more troubleshooting suggestions before I buy a replacement pump/motor assembly. Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Aleya, likely the wash pump has failed, you can check if it is getting 120vac (with a multimeter) from the control board after a water fill at the motor's wire terminals, if so then the wash pump would need to be replaced, it is part W11032770. Read More...
Wayne July 27, 2022 for Model Number KDTE104DSS0 Can this complete assemble be installed into the dishwasher without removing any of the components? If so, what is the trick? If not, is there a way to do it without cutting off the crimped hose clamps on the pump connection? Thank you.
1 Answer Wayne, You will have to remove the pump with hoses and clamps to replace this. Nothing else other than the hose should have to be removed to do this. Read More...
Herb May 05, 2022 for Model Number kdfe104 hbl0 have KA dishwasher kdfe104hblo that the wash cycle doesnt work. replaced the motor and plate assy now on the wash cycle the motor starts a few seconds several times going thru the other cycles- no wash cycle. need help 1:01 PM
1 Answer Herb, With having a new motor but the unit is not washing, this would most likely be a faulty control board. Read More...
Philip March 21, 2022 for Model Number WDT790SAYM3 Our Whirlpool dishwasher is 8yrs old and recently we noticed that it is not filling up with water. We start a cycle and the detergent pod pops out but after several minutes of running we open the door and the inside is completely dry. I've replaced the water inlet value and the float switch, but still no water. I'm tempted to replace the pump/motor sump assembly, but I don't know how to determine if this problem is really the pump/motor.
1 Answer Hello Philip, the control board may be the problem however suggest you first run the test mode to check for Fault codes. The tech sheet is located under the front lower grill if it is missing please contact our Customer Service and they can Email you a copy.1-877-477-7278 Read More...
Steve August 09, 2021 for Model Number KDFE104DWH3 KitchenAid dishwasher makes clicking noises every couple of seconds after starting and no water enters the tub. I cleaned both inlet and outlet. Appears drain pump works fine. Is pump and motor replacement next? Or control panel?
1 Answer Steve, it would be recommended that the main control W10875442 is tested for voltage output, while starting a cycle, at the connection P6 pin 4 to P6 pin 9. If there is not voltage, the main control has failed. If there is, the next step would be to test from pin 6 to pin 9 on the same connector. If there is voltage, the overfill switch is good and the probe at pin 6 would need to be moved to pin 7. If there is voltage here, the valve W11175771 has failed. If there is not, the main control has failed. Read More...
Jim October 08, 2020 for Model Number jlmjstine@gmail.com I have a dish washer about a year and a half old. Model kdte104ess3. It lets water in and sets there. I press cancel and it pumps the water out. So I take the front panel off and find the two wires to the wash pump and plug them in directly to power and I hear nothing. Next I find the terminals on the board that power the wash pump, start the cycle and after about 30-45 seconds the power is produced at the board, so I am thinking the wash motor is bad. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Jim, based on your post description and information, it sounds like you have a faulty WPW10605057/WPW10605057 PUMP&MOTOR. If you haven't yet done it, recheck the wires to the wash motor connector for 120 VAC to verify proper connections and power supply to the motor. Thanks, Read More...
Volkan August 02, 2020 for Model Number WDT790SAYM0 Washer arms not spinning, but water coming out of nozzles when I open door during mid cycle...just no spinning arms. I've removed arms and cleaned and debris within arms to make sure no obstructions but arms still not spinning. Cirulation pump the culprit?
1 Answer Volkan, it would be recommended that the spray arms are inspected for any cracks that may be causing a loss of pressure. If there are not any cracks, then it is very likely that the circulation pump W11032770 would be failing. Read More...
Doug May 16, 2020 for Model Number KDFE104DSS3 my dishwasher will run full cycle on "Express Wash" and works well. For all the other wash settings the tub will fill but the wash activity never starts and the water just sits in the bottom of the tub. Repair dude said I need a new wash/sump pump but that doesn't make sense to me since that part obviously works in the "Express Wash" cycle. Any ideas? Dishwasher is 4 years old.
1 Answer Hello Doug, yes, I agree if the wash pump runs consistently in one cycle but not the others, there is just one circuit from the control board to the wash pump.it either works or not. The difference between the wash cycles is the time length of each operation and the frequency of the diverting of the wash pump outflow to the upper/lower spray arms. The control board will not send power to the wash pump until it has cycled the diverter motor to the correct position, then it will power the wash pump for a certain time, cuts the power then cycles the diverter motor to the next position and repeats. This may well be a diverter motor problem. Your dw model came with a Tech Sheet in the bottom behind the front toe plate giving test mode procedures and component values, use the sheet, and run the diagnostic test to check for up to 4 error codes and check the possible causes.

Matthew March 28, 2020 for Model Number wdt790saym1 My dishwasher looks to have water coming out for the top rack but the bottom rack appears to not be getting any water spraying out. I removed the spray arm and checked it and all outlets are clear. What should my next step be in determining no water coming in for the bottom sprayer. thanks
1 Answer Mathew, Most likely the diverter motor is stuck in the upper spray position.W10537869 Try to power off the unit for a couple of minutes to see if it resets the position when you power the unit back on. If not then replacing the diverter should solve your problem. Read More...
James January 28, 2020 for Model Number KDTE104ESS0 Our kitchenaid dishwasher is not draining properly. Have made sure of the following: 1. hoses clear 2. filter clear 3. changed drain pump 4. hose to garbage disposal clear , including knockout hole what do you recommend I try next ? Check Valve? Solinoid? What part Number? Thank you
1 Answer James, With replacing the drain pump and all hoses and knockout clear the only thing left would be the control not sending voltage to the drain pump. Check at the drain pump for 120 VAC when it should be draining. If no voltage is present then replace the control board. W10854225 Read More...
