Harry August 14, 2014 for Model Number KUDS30IXBL1 How does one run the self diagnosis program? I think my water inlet valve is faulty. How do I test the valve? Harry
1 Answer Hello Harry. The easiest way to test the valve is to test for power going to the valve. If there is power there, and no water, you will need to replace the water valve. 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...
Matt October 24, 2013 for Model Number kudc10ixss1 kitchen aid dishwasher under counter leaking from the very front left corner approximately 2-3 cups per cycle appears to me that the dishwasher is over filling and flowing over the front of the inside tub? I tried to push the door in towards the seal it did not seem to make a difference. Any suggestions? I checked the float switch for continuity its open when the button is not pressed and closed when the button is pushed in? let me know matt
1 Answer Hello Matt. Make sure you are not using to much soap. If not, and the unit is over filling, replace the valve on the unit. Read More...
Houston Diy September 14, 2013 for Model Number WDF310PAATO I just replaced an old and rusty water heater. The aerater on the kitchen faucet was so clogged no water could flow thru it. And the dishwasher doesn't fill with water. So the solution seems obvious. But how to take off the inlet to clean it? Can the unit be jacked up a bit (after sliding it out) to assist in making it easier to get to?
1 Answer Houston DIY, Once the unit is pulled from under the counter you can lay it on its back to make removing the water valve. Read More...
Jen F October 18, 2012 for Model Number KUDS30IXBL1 could the water intake vavle be the cause of the dishwasher trying to start 4 or 5 times and then going to cancel/drain because it fails to start Jen for Model KUDS30IXBL1
1 Answer Jen, Yes a faulty or clogged water valve could create the issue as you described it. If the control board does not see a specific circuit from the float switch, within a specific time, the control will eventually cancel the cycle and shut itself off. Also check and make sure, there are no suds in the water after the dishwasher fills and starts to wash. Read More...
Mark September 09, 2012 for Model Number kuds301xss1 My dishes on the top rack do not get clean. I have removed the upper arm and flushed it out. It almost appears as though either the top rack is not aligning with tube on the back wall or there isnt enough water pressure. I would appreciate any help you can give. The unit is less then 2 years old.
1 Answer Hi Mark. Is the top wash arm spinning and the jets all clear as you cleaned the middle wash arm as well. Where the middle wash arm connects to the feed tube, is the lower flapper missing so the supply water is now falling back into the lower tub? It is common that the upper rack is either adjusted half up or down and the middle wash arm feed tube is not fully inserted into the feed tube part # WPW10077859.Also if there is a case of over soaping then this flapper will dry out, and break. If this is not the case then make sure the feed tube is connected properly down below to the top of the motor sump cover. Remove the lower wash arm and see if the internal filter is clogged. Remove all inner parts and use a shop vac to clean. This allows best pressure to flow throughout. Use dishwasher magic monthly part # TJ104 to insure proper performance levels of clean ability. Thank You Read More...

1 Answer Don, It's not a likely scenario, but it could happen. We'll send you some information, it'll help you to diagnose the probable issue. Your control has a self diagnosis program. Once that program is run, it will basically tell you what components to check or replace. Thanks Read More...
