20 Most Recent KitchenAid KUDS50FVSS Builtin Dishwasher - Page 3 Questions & Answers

There are several touch pad buttons that could activate the Child Lock feature on a Kitchenaid dishwasher. To toggle off the lock, try pressing and holding the 4-hour delay dry or the energy saver dry key pads for 4+ seconds. The Energy Saver Dry is used for the Child Lock on the Kitchenaid KUDS25SHWH1. This manual is here: https://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/lis_pdf/OWNM/L9050329.pdf . The 4-hour delay or Control Lock options are listed in this manual: https://www.kitchenaid.com/content/dam/global/documents/201605/owners-manual-W10596243-RevD.pdf . If neither of these steps work, you may have a problem with the keypad, the wiring between the keypad and the control board or the control board itself. Please add a comment with the model of the dishwasher if you'd like me to try and find the parts list/diagram. If the machine is under warranty, you may want to contact Kitchenaid. I hope this helps.

I experienced the same problem after my tension cables broke. The door fell open with such force that it bent the hinges a little. If you've replaced the tension strings (which you should do every 5-8 years) then you don't have to replace the latch. I did and it didn't solve the problem.Here's the solution:Put a towel at the bottom of each side of the door by the hinge.Push the door closed a couple of times to bend back the hinges.Remove the towels and you're back in action.Good luck

Sounds like control board failure

My thought, If the water starts pouring out after a while it could have to do with the dish washer drain pump, hoses and connections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwrlocTT2sM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDNiLvApKLc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b1-M_WKYJs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwIcooyu7GI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUQQuVitEdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-ddBOqEb0E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQWIOBvC2XU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edsv5aJCEEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvJhZt1FIr8

The blinking usually happens when your house power goes off and then comes back on. Press the Start/Cancel Button to reset.

My recommendation is the heat exchanger has failed or default, this can happen anytime but typically after 5+ years old

If you replaced the door latch did you replace the striker? Those are the only 2things that keep it closed.

Call the company that made it and ask them what could be wrong.

This dishwasher have learning control board check your screen filter bottom middle inside make sure it's clean you need to run unit try self diagnostic mode just consentrate on first error message need to found out what is it fix problem and reset control by running diagnostics mode u should found service paperwork on inside of kuckplate (bottom penal holds by two plastic clips or 1/4 " screws

Sorry we do not sell parts of any kind or do we have any locator service to find them for you

Read on some of this information or maybe u still have your use& care guide

It sounds like your dishwasher isnt level or mounted. Make sure also that the rails supporting the top rack are not just jammed. If its sliding like normal and appears to be on track and your dishwasher is mounted, give the top rack a couple slighlty more powerful jerks and tugs to try and unsieze them if they are bound up. Then spray small amounts of cooking oil on the rail mechanism if this breaks it free. If the rails are broke, look them up at repairclinic.com and replace parts.

Make sure there isn't a restriction in the machine-such as clogged filter, hoses etc.

More likely you have bad touch panel you get corrosion on the ribbon connector between control board in touch bad

Double check that model number...tell me what lights are alternating...that's a error code.

Model number? The model number is inside the door normally. Any lights on or it, or old dial type with no front lights?

HOW OLD IS IT AND NEED FULL MODEL #. In general undue screws at bottom kick plate and lift upward and it should come off. but some older models also have screws in the top of the panel that must be removed to get the panel off.
