Craig January 07, 2016 for Model Number KUDK02CRBS0 Dishwasher stopped mid cycle, according to my girlfriend! It has power to the touchpad, lights all work, when you push the start/restart button it flashes its green light continuously. I have a different brand, but when this light flashes on mine, it indicates that the door has been opened or not completely closed. It is level, I'm wondering if it's the door switches, latch or striker. I'd like to test the switches before I start ordering parts. Could you advise me what "specs" I should be looking for when testing the switches? Thank You!
1 Answer Hello Craig. Yes, you will need to test the switches in the unit. NC to COM should read closed and NO to COM should read open. These will reverse when you press the switch. 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...
Steve July 30, 2015 for Model Number GU2400XTPS7 My dishwasher shows the door open error. When I turn the power back on it will cycle for 2 minutes and then read an open door error again. What do you think is wrong?
1 Answer Hello Steve. Make sure the unit is level. If so, then check the door latch and the door switches on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jerr S April 08, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool GU2500XTPQ7 Normal light flashing, time remaining display shows - - (dash, dash). Door seems to latch properly. Will bad microswitch cause this? Does anything else cause this error code?
1 Answer Jerrsark, The normal light flashing would be caused by a faulty membrane switch. This would require the control panel to be replaced. Read More...
Goo Buck January 03, 2015 for Model Number MDB7749AWB1 When you hit the start button, the light is solid for a few seconds then starts blinking again. The door doesn't seem to latch properly. Its real easy to pull open.
1 Answer Goo Buck, You need to check the door strike and check the latch assembly to make sure that they are meeting up properly. It sounds like the latch has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Philley Y. April 19, 2014 for Model Number 665.17019402 The "clean " light is flashing and dishwasher will not start.
1 Answer Hello Philley, When the clean light flashes it can only mean one of two things. It can mean that a button is stuck and the control panel is in need of replacement or it can mean that the heating circuit has failed. The way to tell which has happened is that if the heating circuit has failed, the clean light will flash seven times with a pause and then flash seven times with a pause, etc. If this is the case, you need to troubleshoot the heating circuit. There are five components: the heating element, the high limit thermostat, the door switch, the control, and the wiring harness. There should be a tech sheet behind the kick panel which will show the wiring diagram. This should enable you to shoot through the circuit with an ohm meter. If it reads open from the control board, you will need to test each component individually. I have found that if the unit is solidly mounted under the counter top and is properly leveled, the heating element is the most common part to fail. Read More...

Miguel January 25, 2014 for Model Number KUDI01TJWH0 What does closing the door do besides turn on the door switch? I take the screws off that attached the console panel to the inside mental panel of the door, and then open up the console panel while keep all wire connections. This exposed the door switch. I pressed the actuator which turn on the switch and then press the cancel/drain button, why doesn't the dishwasher run? What is the difference between closed the door which activate the door switch and manually pressing the door switch (the inside panel of the door is closed)? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Miguel. That is all it does is makes up the door switches. If manually trying this, you need to make sure the latch is good and straight or you may only activate one switch. Read More...
Noel November 10, 2013 for Model Number 665-13482K901 Will not start, no lights on panels, check the power its ok by using tester on the outlet. thanks
1 Answer Noel, If you have power at the outlet, your next check is at the electrical junction box on the frame of the dishwasher, behind the lower access panel and kick plate. Remove the cover and check to make sure the wire connections have not come loose or are discolored or damaged. If all's OK, you'll want to remove the inner door liner, and check the control panel thermal fuse W10258275 If it opens, it will remove power to the control board and the dishwasher will not operate and the lights will not illuminate.

Charles P October 05, 2013 for Model Number KUDPO1LWH6 The door has trouble latching but when it does the lights for cycles come on but the unit does not operate. The outside handle seems to be stuck sometimes and doesn't release
1 Answer Charles, This issue sounds like it is being caused by a faulty door latch assembly and handle not making proper contact to latch. This will also have to do with the switches not making contact. Read More...
