Steve February 25, 2012 for Model Number DU840CWDQ5 HOW HIGH IS THE WATER SUPPOSED TO COME WHEN THE DISHWASHER HAS FILLED WITH WATER? IS IT SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENT? OURS IS ONLY FILLING AN INCH HIGH AND OUR DISHES ARE STILL FILTHY. I SAW ON YOUTUBE THE WATER SHOULD TOUCH THE HEATING ELEMENT. DO I NEED A NEW WATER VALVE (#3378779).
1 Answer Steve, Yes, When the dishwasher water level is correct, the water should be in contact with the bottom of the heating element, at least, after the dishwasher fills and washes for 3 to 5 minutes. The fill valve W10844024 is the most likely issue and replacing it usually eliminates the problem. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Danny February 04, 2012 for Model Number du915pwkso My dishwasher works, but will not fill with water nor will it empty when I add water. What part do I need to replace?
1 Answer Hello Danny. Check and see if there are any bad wires on the unit, and if the timer WP8535371 is sending power to the water valve and the motor to reverse. If not, you will need to replace the timer. 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...
Joe December 10, 2011 for Model Number GU940SCGB0 Twice the dishwasher has overfilled and water came out through the front. Now water continues to flow into the dishwasher with or without power on. I had to shut off the water supply to stop the flow. Is this a defective water inlet valve or could it be something else?
1 Answer Hello Joe. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the water valve W10844024 on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
David December 10, 2011 for Model Number DU920PFGZO Jim ask about water seeping in overnight.I will replace valve. thanks! but you metioned to also flush supply line. How is that done?
1 Answer David, What you need to do ibn flushing the water supply line to the dishwasher is : Once the original fill valve is disconnected and removed from the dishwasher, and before you install the new fill valve, get a flat container( baking dish or pan),You could also use a garden hose, if you're careful, set it on the bottom of the frame work and open the water supply faucet under the sink. You may need to fill the pan a couple of times, but you need to clear any sediment that has accumulated in the pipes, so you don't restrict the new fill valve. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
1 Answer Hello Corey. You will need to check and make sure the pump and hoses are not clogged. If so, they will cause the problem you are having. If they are clear and there is power to the pump, you will need to replace the pump. Hope this helps. Read More...
Abby S. October 25, 2011 for Model Number DU912PFGQ2 I had asked a question earlier about the water coming out of the plastic molded part on the left side of the tub when filling. I checked the hose and it is OK. I also clamped it to the plastic molded part, although the drawing does not show that being clamped. The water is coming out of the preformed holes on the front and back side of that plastic part molded to the tub.
1 Answer Hello Abby. Check and see if the fill hole is clogged going into the dishwasher tub assembly. If not, you may have a bad tub assembly W10082654 and it will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...

1 Answer Hi Abby. The inlet fill hose is part # WP304669. The clamps are part # WP596669. The connection at the tank is plastic molded onto the tub assy. part # W10082654. Thank You. Read More...
David October 11, 2011 My Kitchen Aid Dishwasher just flooded my kitchen. After cleaning up the mess and digging into unit to see what went wrong, I discovered that everything seems to work properly, except for one thing. The dishwashwer doesn't turn off the incoming water supply. No matter the cycle, the incoming water is open and coming in? What would cause this?

1 Answer Jim, Very good deduction, Yes you will want to replace the water inlet valve( it's seaping not sealing tight) you should also flush the water supply line of any debris and replace / install the new valve. Good Luck and Thanks. Read More...
