    I have a KUDR02FSSS2 Kitchenaid stainless (nice).

    I have had just about everthing but the case replaced on it (1.5yr. old machine) My problems started after 4 months of owning it. You would not believe the number of trips out to my house no exaggeration, like 20 times to replace all! Kitchenaid won't budge! they want to keep sending techs from all known repair companies, techs can't deem it unrepairable because Kitchenaid refers them to engineering dept. and they always have an armchair answer. They are usually correct with their diagnosis....but....then a new problem arises, and several weeks/ months later the failure return full circle and the process starts again.....prepare to sue the company after 4 tries to fix your junk or submit.....and enjoy a lifetime of repair heros and time off from the job to accomodate them.

    I am now replacing parts on my own (fuses, thermal control board overtemp protection) part # 661663.

    Me and the A&E techs are on a first name basis...too lazy to sue and get my $$$$$, plus Kitchenaid keeps extending my warranty under what they call a "Service Request" this means you call them they athorize the repair guy to visit, they cover the bill, but they steer the wheel....you no longer get to choose the repair guy, beyond their list of experts.

    Oh, after 10 or so thermal fuse replacements, the armchair genius' in the engineering dept. at Kitchenaid suggested replacing the whole wiring harness, and so the problem was fixed for a few weeks and then it reoccured....back to swapp'n out fuses....no end-in-sight.

    next time shop BOSCH ! Germans build qualty poo!

    I have the same problem. The fuse was replaced four months ago and now I am having the same problem but with an electrical smell. I just read the consumer complaint blogs and see that my model, kudso1fl, has had fire issues. I called Kitchenaid and they said I needed to have someone come out. I explained that I was filing a complaint with the CPSC and she finally put me through to someone in their safety department. A technician is coming Monday. My Kitchenaid stove would not turn off, had a panel replaced 3 times, i filed a complaint with CPSC and they were made to replace my stove. Don't let up. These companies have Product Liability Attorneys that advise them on how to weigh the risk of suit versus the expense of a recall.

    Same fuse problem and machine is less than 24 months old. Repair service is making a second trip out to replace the fuse since it had to be ordered. Complained to Kitchenaid which agreed to replace the part but not pay the $68+ labor charge.

    I had the same problem with my kenmore dishwasher. It blew a thermal fuse after about 5 years of operation. That was no big deal, so I replaced it and was back in business for 6 months. Then that fuse blew. I replaced that and it lasted for 2 months. Then it lasted for 2 weeks. On and on again. Eventually, I had a thermal fuse that lasted for a single wash. I realized that the water heating option was stuck on even though I never turned it on in the first place. I have a few calls out to Kenmore to see what might fix that. I suspect just disconnecting the water heating element or the thermostat might fix this, but we'll see.

Check your thermal fuse. The fuse is located inside the control panel on or near the main control board. It will be a bullet shaped component mounted with a white plastic clip with two wires leading from it. The fuse should read a short if good. Now...keep in mind, if the fuse blew it is usually for a reason. Replacing it may or may not correct your problem. In some model dishwashers there was a thermal fuse kit that was required to be installed which involved cutting the wires and using a wire splice to connect the new fuse. It seems that there was a design flaw where the gauge wire used in manufacturing would cause the thermal fuse to blow prematurely due the wire overheating. I can't remember if this applies to KitchenAid, but I believe it does. You may inquire about this at your local parts store. I hope this helps you.

I had the same issue. What I did that has resolved the fuse problem was pull out the unit and disconnect the power to the heating element at the bottom of the machine. Just pull it out, flip it on its side and you will see the connections to the element on the bottom. It's been running for months now with no issues.

    Did you leave the heating unit disconnected or reconnect?

Dishwasher stopping mid-cycle, water left in bottom, sometimes detergent dispenser does not open.

Man I love posts like yours. Makes answering easier.

In short, yes. You probably are right that the dishwasher is aborting mid-cycle, but the why is a tricky question. There are wet parts inside as well as moving parts and high temperature. It is possible your control electronics are being exposed to moisture mid-cycle, causing the dishwasher to cut out. This would have been easy to spot by the technician though. An alternate theory could be that the dishwasher's door sensor is stating that the dishwasher gets opened mid cycle due to all the shaking around. This wouldn't have been picked up by your technician and would cause the dishwasher to effectively "pause" itself without draining or using soap. Check and make sure the door is latched securely and see if it's easy to trigger the door sensor (pull gently on the door while the dishwasher is running).

Unfortunately, the best answer I have for investigation is to "babysit." Grab your laptop, pop in a movie, get a nice drink, and plop yourself down next to the dishwasher once you set it to run. The moment it stops working properly, take a look at everything you can.

Kitchen aid dishwasher stopped mid-cycle and won't drain. Can't re-start. Suspect clogged drain.

Dishwasher was not draining. I cleaned out everything and now it wont start

I have the same problem with another Kitchenaid model. I've had better results at keeping the water drained by running two back to back water saver cycles than running a full pots and pans cycle.

The start button on my KItchen Aid Built in Dishwasher KUDI01FLSS2 will not start, there is power and the control lock is not on. It just will not start

I had the same problem although my dishwasher quit working in mid cycle. Once it quit, there was no power to the unit. I replaced the thermal coupling fuse and that solved the problem.

Stopped midcycle, water not drained, no lights, no reset, input power good

Hello,

The most probable thing wrong that made your dishwasher just quit mid cycle and wont now do anything is going to be a blown fuse on the control board. It's a fairly common problem with that brand,so much so i have written a tip about how to check it. Here is the link to that tip,

My dishwasher stops mid cycle, beeps and the lights blink. I push start/resume and it starts and then stops mid cycle again. It hasn't finished a cycle in over a week.

I am doing all this and nothing! No lights turn on briefly, no short cycle begins..nothing. It will work 1 cycle then not a cycle, I have reset with turning off breaker, using the key sequence above, thought it was a drain issue, replaced the hoses. And here we are machine is not even a year old yet. Help

Bosch dishwasher shx55m with bottom tub full of water

The dishwasher really shouldn't pass any particles near large enough to clog the drain hose. It sounds more like a mechanical issue. Check the circuit breaker to make sure it's not tripped. See if you can hit a cancel button or something to make it drain. Try to run another cycle. If the computer is stuck or acting funny, trying cutting the power for a while, holding down a stop/reset/cancel button, or running a cycle that you don't usually run. I had this kitchenaid that would randomly refuse the normal wash cycle, but would run fine when you ran rinse only or something, then regular wash and everything would be fine again too. If the line somehow is clogged, there's a good chance it's right where the hose connects to the disposal or drain pipe.
