KITCHENAID UNDERCOUNTER DISHWASHER KUDI01TJ 7 YEARS OLD : PUT ON 5 MIN. LATER BUZZ SOUND LIKE AN ALARM CLOCK WENT ON FOR 10 SECONDS SHUT OFF AND NOW IS CONSTANTLY ON WHEN DISHWASHER IS ON. I CANCELLED DRAINED TRIED AGAIN LOUD BUZZ IS CONSTANTLY ON ; DRAINED AGAIN ; EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
Mine does this too. I think it has something to do with a self-cleaning cycle where the food chopper (miniature garbage disposal blade) runs to chop up debris. Mind runs this way every 30 washes or so (every 4-6 weeks), perhaps in response to water turbidity (soil sensing)
It sounds as if there is something in the bottom part of the dishwasher arm (it sprays the water around the bottom of the dishwasher). I would suggest that you take out the baskets and then remove and clean all of the parts that water comes out of as well as the bottom drain. If this works or does not, I would also suggest that you run an empty load using 1/4 cup vinegar. Hope this helps!
