KitchenAid 24 in. KUDS01FLSS Built-In Dishwasher - Page 7 Questions & Answers
My child stepped on the
I had this exact same story with my new Whirlpool dishwasher. My daughter fell on the open dishwasher door and afterwards it wouldn't latch closed. After researching online, I learned that 90% of the time it's bent door hinges. At $$130 each, $260 total, I didn't want to replace the hinges. So I removed the hinges, took them downstairs to my shop, put them in the vise and straightened them back with a hammer. Just took a few good, solid hits on each hinge and they were straight again. I installed them back onto the dishwasher and it worked like a charm! Door latches just fine.
Rinse aid dispenser leaks
The dispenser needle valve is not seating properly and correctly causing it to be rinsing and also the aid to be leaking out water.
How do you reset a KitchenAid dishwasher model: KUDE70FXSS4?
Press High Temp Scrub and Dry Heat option buttons in quick succession one after the other for about 6 sec until all the lights come on. Then press Cancel button. This should reset the dishwasher. Press equivalent buttons on the panel if the actual ones above are not there. Make sure the dishwasher detergent dispenser lid is shut and the dishwasher door is shut before you start the above reset sequence.
My KitchenAid Dishwasher door won't stay closed. It keeps popping open after a few seconds.
I experienced the same problem after my tension cables broke. The door fell open with such force that it bent the hinges a little. If you've replaced the tension strings (which you should do every 5-8 years) then you don't have to replace the latch. I did and it didn't solve the problem.Here's the solution:Put a towel at the bottom of each side of the door by the hinge.Push the door closed a couple of times to bend back the hinges.Remove the towels and you're back in action.Good luck
