KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDC25CH. I have a problem where the Child Lock LED blinks and cannot be reset. If found a few postings on the Internet and some lead to the electronics control board ($165) while others point to the machine front control panel ($130). I'm concerned that either purchase cannot be returned and am looking for any suggestions on how to test one vs. the other. One person on a website (http://www.partsimple.com/9744031r-wpl-r-12.html?gclid=CKaewr_ezLoCFUkV7AodnxAAgQ) noted that they had the same problem, purchased the electronic control board and found it showed the same error. He also noted that he was able to "...used a low voltage source and "rang" out each button, using a meter and observing the LEDs to assure all were working." In the end he concluded that "What may have happened, was the cover plastic may have aged enough to deform and kept one of several of the buttons depressed marginally...or at least enough to disable the unit." Any ideas on how to test one vs. the other? If I have to lay out $300 to ensure a fix, I may as well purchase a new dishwasher. the unit I'm trying to repair is 12 yrs old. Any suggestions appreciated.

SOURCE: KitchenAid dishwasher KUDS25SH - Can't operate because child lock

If holding the "Energy Saver/Dry" button does not solve the control board problem then most probably the control board would have failed and needs to be replaced .

To identify it we need technical expertise in handling the circuit boards and knowledge on usage of multimeter is must.

SOURCE: I have the KitchenAid undercounter

Did you try holding the energy save button for 10 seconds I thought that was how you were supposed to unlock the child lock on the unit. Also did you try unplugging the unit as well for 7 minutes this usually causes the control to reset in the unit. I await your reply to how you make out with these suggestions. If this does not work then one or more of the pads on the control panel is stuck and if this were the case then you would have to replace the control panel if you have any further questions message me back. Thanks Rick

Hi

To reset the dishwasher control you have to press and hold the HEATED DRY button for 15 seconds, if its still not resolved then it means that the control board has gone bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

The dishwasher will not work. It appears to have no power.

Hi

First make sure that nothing is blocking the drain pump assembly located inside the lower front panel of the dishwasher. If the issue returns after its cleaned then try to reset the dishwasher control by pressing the HEATED DRY button and hold it for 15 seconds, if its still not resolved then it means that the control board has gone bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Is there a removable filter on the KitchenAid KUDC25CH

Again, check the routing of the drain hose. The drain hose should belooped up in the cabinet under the sink. If it is not the water may be backing up into the Dishwasher
