KitchenAid 24 in. KUDI01TJ - Multiple Color Built-in Dishwasher

Dishwasher starts then stops (by 2 users)

Report abuse

After pressing the normal cycle button, then the start button, the dishwasher begins to run (no water enters tub), then the water heating light comes on for approximately 2 seconds then goes out followed by the dishwasher shutting itself off. The entire process takes about 5-8 seconds.

Thanks for the help. After checking the water inlet valve / solenoid I found that I am not getting voltage to the solenoid. When 120 volts was applied the valve opened and water was available. I have also noticed that only the normal cycle is available. Heavey or Rinse Only will not stay lighted. Could this be a controller issue?

I have the same problem.

My (KUDI01TJ)Dishwasher did the same thing.
I Pressed start, it acted like it was starting and then turned off.

FIX:
I started the rapid advance service diagnostic feature:
1.Close dishwasher door
2.press "Hi-Temp Wash"
3.press "Energy Saver Dry"
4.press "Hi-Temp Wash"
5.press "Energy Saver Dry"
This started the diagnostics and the dishwasher went through each cycle.
After this, my dishwasher worked fine.

I think the controller must have got in some wierd mode and unpluging the washer would not clear it out but running the
diagnostics cleared it.
Hope this works for you

My dishwasher starts then stops and the "rinse only" starts blinking. I have reset by turning off the breaker and either the same thing happens or it will fill with a little water. Also if there is a level of water in the machine it will drain by pushing the cancel/drain button. If it's the control board, where can I get one?
Thanks
