Hi

Dishwashers use Bi-Metal strip to allow the dispenser to open/close. This strip when heat up causes the soap door spring to open up the dispenser. If this strip is not heated doesn't allow the door to open. The strip may not be getting 120V or maybe disconnected. Newer (plastic liner) dishwashers use a wax motor to open the soap dispenser. The plunger inside the wax motor slowly moves and pushes the plunger and door open. And, if this wax motor doesn't receive 120 volts, then it'll not work. Please check the voltage to the wax motor/Bi-metal strip; also inspect the connections to these.

Hope this helps...

difficult to weld stainloess steel. another way is to drill out the hole slightly and fit a small nut and bolt with fibre washers

It sounds like the water inlet valve has stopped letting water in. With no water the spray bar won't rotate as it is driven by the pump. Generic videos.

Same issue here. WHAT WORKED FOR ME was simply unplugging the dishwasher for 15 seconds (no idea if 15s necessary), and plugging back in. Viola!

If the hole is small you can seal it with epoxy putty. Clean and abrade the area and after mixing the putty make sure it is pushed well into the hole and if possible smoothed over on the underside. Two types that will work.

I couldn’t find any error code 2H but I did find an error code H2O. This code means insufficient water pressure. If the display reads 2H, it usually means the start delay function is turned on. The dishwasher will turn on in 2 hours if door is closed. This dishwasher is advanced. To understand all operations you should read the user guide or manual.

Do a hard reset and it should work..if not then replace the control board. http://www.ehow.com/how_7488137_reset-kud101flss6-dishwasher-control-lock.html

Pick any 3 consecutive keys (except Start or Cancel, then press them in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. The dishwasher will go through a self-test and short cycle, and reset itself.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Miscellaneous. Create upward pressure as you are undoing it. You may be able to make it grip.

possible flood switch stuck

Try a Power Reset. Before you go to bed, cut the power to it using the breaker, the plug, or isolation switch. Try next dinner time. Press and Hold the On switch before you turn it back on to fully dissipate power.
