Question about KitchenAid 24 in. KUDP02CR Built-in Dishwasher

1 Answer

Wash cycle starts up temporarily during initial fill

The heating element recently went out so I contacted a repair company. Since the dishwasher is only 2 years old the part was covered under warranty. As part of heating element replacement the repairman also replaced the control panel/card. He said that was typical that KithenAid also send them this component when a warrantly item was being replaced since the control panel is prone to going bad. Now when the dishwasher is first started and begins to fill, after about a minute the washer/sprayer starts up, runs for a few seconds, then stops and the filling process continues. This never happened before. I had the repairman come back out and he said that this was perfectly normal. He said that the dishwasher fills then when it reaches a level the washer turns on briefly to bring the level back down. This sounds completely illogical to me and it never did this before. I'm suspicious that something is wrong with this new control panel part that was put in and they just don't want to replace it again. I don't want to incur the cost of having someone new come out to confirm whether or not I'm getting a straight story. Can anyone with technical knowledge provide an opinion on this? Thanks.

    Thanks to Catriver for the clear explanation of what is going on with the dishwasher. If the repairman would have explained it this way I would not have needed to be concerned.

Joe, this is normal. Your model has a soil sensor and the updated board has a soil purge. So it will fill, purge the sensor and resume. Catriver..post back.

I have a frigidaire fgbd2438pbbb dishwasher that runs thru the wash cycle then stops and the air dry and high temp light flash. whats wrong?
Based on the symptoms you described, it's likely that there is an issue with the heating element or thermostat in your Frigidaire dishwasher. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the heating element: The heating element is responsible for heating the water during the wash cycle and drying the dishes at the end of the cycle. If the element is faulty, the dishwasher may stop mid-cycle and display the flashing lights you described. Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the heating element. If there is no continuity, the heating element needs to be replaced.
  2. Check the thermostat: The thermostat is a safety device that prevents the dishwasher from overheating. If the thermostat is faulty, it may shut off the heating element prematurely, causing the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. Test the thermostat using a multimeter. If it's not functioning properly, it needs to be replaced.
  3. Check the control board: If the heating element and thermostat are functioning properly, there may be an issue with the dishwasher's control board. A faulty control board can cause various issues, including the flashing lights you described. If this is the case, you may need to replace the control board.
If you're not comfortable performing these troubleshooting steps yourself, it's best to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

My Bosch SHU9925UC dishwasher will not stop cycling and come to an end. I also noticed that a couple of weeks ago it stopped beeping to signal the end of the wash. Can anyone help me please? Thanks for...
From the Appliance Repair Clinic:

The cycle doesn't complete
If the cycle doesn't complete, check these:

Water-heating cycle
Timer
Water-heating cycle
Many dishwashers heat the wash and/or rinse water to a higher temperature, as the cycle calls for it. In these cycles, the dishwasher pauses after it has filled with water, waiting for the water to reach the pre-set temperature. What happens next, depends, as follows:

* On some units, the pause is timed and the unit continues after the allotted time.


* On others, the cycle can't continue until the water reaches the higher temperature. If you have this type of dishwasher and the water isn't being heated (say, because of a problem with the heating element or thermostat), after the unit stops at the heating cycle, it never continues. When you repair the heating-system problem, the "cycle problem" is fixed too.

Dishwasher fills with water. Water is heated by heating element. Water never sprays during wash or rinse cycles. Cycles complete and the water remains in the bottom of the dishwasher.
Looks like the pumps are not working. Please provide the full model number of the dishwasher.

If you have selected "heat" with the wash cycle, then heat should be activated at the proper time during the cycle. If not, you could have an issue with a defective heat element or thermostat. If the heat element and thermostat are fine, then your problem may be within the electronic control board. Contact an appliance service company.

Water level below heating element and element does not appear to heat
Make sure the drain hose high loop is installed properly, normally you have this in the sink cabinet high up. Otherwise the water inside the machine may drain "by itself", leaking through the inactive drain pump during the wash cycle and cause this and other troubles.

Water heater no go.
The heating element is turned on first during the main wash cycle, which could be approximately 10 minutes in. Since this error is coming up, the first thing to check/replace is the heating element.

I am only familiar with the LDF family of LG dishwashers and on them, to get to the heating element, you pull the dishwasher, invert the entire DW and remove the access panel.

Good Luck, please post back here what you find, OK?

Dishwasher just started not filling enough water to wash dishes.
It does sound like a circuit board problem but lets not rush out and pay an exorbitant service fee yet...I checked the user manual and this model does have a timer also...so often timer go out and many people think the problem lies elsewhere...but when a timer goes out or a couple of teeth no longer engage then you could have any number of problems...I doubt the solenoid is bad or it would not initiate at all to begin with,,,,,so here is a little test......turn the DW on and cycle the timer to where it starts the water solenoid....watch the timer to see that it turns and disengages. the solenoid...How quick was it? (if under your accustomed 2 mins... problem with timer). Another test is to do the same and hold the timer tightly preventing it from turning and see if you can force the fill valve to stay open longer (if so...bad timer).

I hope this helps...please rate me....The Fang

Dishwasher isn't heating and dishes are always still wet at end of cycle
hi,

could be a few things, control board, heating element, sensors. look at the heating element, (the thin dark tube under the bottom rack) if it looks broken or caked up with calcium it may need to be replaced. if it looks ok start the wash cycle and let it run for a minute, then open the door and tap it very lightly and quickly with your finger to see if it's getting warm, if it’s not hot it could be a board/wiring/sensor problem. , if it’s in warranty contact the manufacturer if not contact a sears or a local appliance repair company
