Send the full model number off of the dish washer.some of the newer dish washers are copying bosch,if water gets into the base or the machine thinks it's flooding it will keep on draining,it can be as simple as pulling the dish washer out and tilt it to a 45 degree angle the water will spill out and it will work again or the water will evaporate in time as long as there's no leaks also if there's to much suds it will also cause this,it can't pump out suds and suds and water can leak out from under the door and do this,do you have this style i don't know just a guess,you can get the model number and go to utube or google it and you'll find out if you have this in your model but this is what it sounds like,or you could have a bad computer board,if you remove the bottom panel there should be a tech sheet there that will help you out,you can run it in a diagnostics mode,good luck,you can try also to unplug it for like 10 minutes,plug it back in and hit the cancel button and let it drain for the full 2 minutes,it might reset the board but like i said if it has that overflow issue it won't stop.

Testimonial: "Thanks Sal, i'll try your suggestions."

SOURCE: Dishwasher Heating element not working

my wife shut the water off to the dishwasher and forgot to turn it back on and then used the dishwasher.
the heating element went on but there was nop water.
when we turned the water back on,the drying cycle does not work.i would think that the element needs to be changed or is there a relay on the computer board?
this is a two year old Jennair unit.
any suggestions?

SOURCE: Kitchen Aid Superba Dishwasher

mix "CLR" (at stores) with water, pour it in, turn on diswasher (nothing in the machine) then stop it in the middle of first cycle before it drains. The "CLR" will get rid of calcium deposits that are clogging machine. I stopped my dishwasher for a few hours to let "CLR" work. This worked for me.

SOURCE: New Heating Element; Has Power But Not Heating Up

Let's go over a few things: 

  • Your unit uses 220 volts to provide heating.  Some elements are wired to one of the two 'legs' of the 220 giving you 'low'.  High uses 220
220 consists of three wires...two 'hot' (red and black) and a neutral which is white.  Neutral to hot will give you 110...hot to hot 220.  Measure accordingly and use care!  Neutral and the frame of the stove are effectively the same terminal...for safety.
  • You say some of the wires are burnt or a fuse is blown.  They need to be replaced with proper wire...not just any kind.  There is high temp insulated wire available from many ACE and other home stores or parts shops.  It needs to be thick enough, too.  Make all connections carefully and fully onto clean terminals.  Tighten clockwise.
  • Check the voltage coming to the element on various settings as above.  If you only get 110/120, you have an open supply issue which needs to be found.
Look for: loose wires, corrosion, burned insulation to ground.

SOURCE: Want to replace dishwasher panel with stainless steel

Yes indeed! If you know the measurements, you can buy a stainless panel from www.applianceart.com cut to any size you would like. THey also have a cheaper "faux" stainless option too. Many colors and designs as well.

Switch dishwasher on and starts up ok but when it comes to pumping water in it stops and does not do anything else.

Hello

Investigate these five areas if your dishwasher won't fill with water:

As water is filling your dishwasher, a float rises along with it. When the float reaches a predetermined level, it shuts off the flow of water, thereby preventing a leak. Sometimes the float can get stuck in the wrong position in your dishwasher, and it can prevent your dishwasher from filling. Check your float assembly. Replace it if you need to.

The water that fills your dishwasher lifts the float, and when it reaches a certain level, it acts as a trigger for the float switch. The float triggers the float switch to shut off, thereby shutting off the flow of water into the dishwasher. A defective switch may interfere with your dishwasher's filling ability.

Your dishwasher may not be filling with water simply because the water valve's filter screens are dirty and debris-filled. Gain access to your water inlet valve and try cleaning it out. This might be enough to solve the problem. You can learn how to access your water inlet valve in the replace a dishwasher water inlet valve section.

Alternatively, your water inlet valve could be defective altogether. That could be the reason your dishwasher is not filling. Test it for continuity. If it is not functioning as it should, replace it.

Your dishwasher's drain valve is regulated by a drain solenoid. If the solenoid is malfunctioning, it may not allow the drain valve to funtion properly, which in turn could be the reason your dishwasher is not filling with water. Investigate your drain valve and test the solenoid. If the solenoid is faulty, replace it.

My dishwasher is a kitchen aid and is leaving all the dishes and glass ware with grime and dirty what to do?

Hi

If you are noticing that the dishes are not clean, then there are a few things to check for. Check the soap powder if it's kept in a dry environment. Also try replacing the powder with something like a gel or liquid. Next thing to check for is the water pressure and fill valve. Check if the water is filling in and the spray arms are throwing the water with enough pressure. Try and listen to the sound if you hear a proper spraying action sound.

If it seems as a low water pressure then check the fill valve. Now, check if dishwasher is draining the water or not. While the dishwasher is working check whether the dishwasher is draining and there is not much left out water after the cycle is complete. Try cleaning the spray arm with a soft brush. The water temperature plays a major role in cleaning of dishes. The temp should be between 125 and 150 F for dishwasher to clean the dishes. Hope this helps...

Have a kitchen aid whisper quiet dishwasher...will not drain

There is probably a problem with your drain hose being plugged or the drain valve/solenoid is jammed or defective.

You would need to check these two problems and repair or replace parts.
