My KitchenAid dishwasher (Model KUDS01IJBS0 and Serial Number FL1813031) has stopped operating. I turned off the power to it for over 12 hours to see if it required a reset, but the dishwasher has the same problem. Upon power up, the "Add a Dish" LED is flashing with no other indications. If I hit the Start button, the "Rinse On" LED starts flashing with the "Add a Dish" LED. Pressing the other mode buttons didn’t illuminate their respective LEDs. After pressing the "Cancel/Drain" button a few times, the Status Display would show just two dashes.
Also, once I was able to get the normal dishwashing mode to start (after powering it off for a while), but it stopped after about 15 minutes with the "Add a Dish" LED flashing and the Status Display just showing the two dashes.
I verified that the door switch is operating properly by jumpering it out and the problem persists. Also, I couldn’t enter the diagnostic modes by doing the key sequences.
Should I replace the control module, the touch panel, or both?
The service guy was just here and confirmed with KitchenAid that based on the symtoms and the flashing Normal LED, the keypad is bad. I confirmed with the technician that I tested the keypad with a digital multimeter, but he said replacing the touchpad has fixed problems in the past where the pad tested just fine. My advice, try replacing the touchpad next.
was hit with power surge replaced both boards now owen starts up as soon as element starts kicks off relary shuts down than lite flashes 3 times isthat a bad oven sensor ? both sides do same thing
I did replace the panel and that fixed it back in '08. After several years of functioning dishwasher, my KUDS01 started exhibiting the same symptoms as I described in earlier posts. Last week I replaced the panel again (for the 3rd time), but that didn’t fix it. I ordered a new control/timer circuit board. If that fixes it, that’s my 3rd bad control/timer circuit board.
