The fill valve is probably stuck in the full position. It's at the bottom of the tub and looks like a small tube with a cap on it. You should be able to move the cap up and down easily.

SOURCE: running time of dishwasher

he cycles times are too long If your dishwasher's cycle times are too long, check these:

Water pre-heating
Cycle not completing
Water pre-heating Your dishwasher may pre-heat the water. If so, and if the water entering the dishwasher is cool, the heater may take up to half an hour to heat the water. 

To avoid the wait, increase the incoming water temperature before turning on the dishwasher. Do that by running the kitchen sink faucet until the water runs hot. Or increase the temperature of the hot water to the entire house at the hot water heater.

Warning! To lessen the risk of scalding, don't set the hot water heater temperature higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Cycle not completing See "The cycle doesn't complete" section. 

The cycle doesn't complete If the cycle doesn't complete, check these:

Water-heating cycle
Timer
Water-heating cycle Many dishwashers heat the wash and/or rinse water to a higher temperature, as the cycle calls for it. In these cycles, the dishwasher pauses after it has filled with water, waiting for the water to reach the pre-set temperature. What happens next, depends, as follows:

  • On some units, the pause is timed and the unit continues after the allotted time.


  • On others, the cycle can't continue until the water reaches the higher temperature. If you have this type of dishwasher and the water isn't being heated (say, because of a problem with the heating element or thermostat), after the unit stops at the heating cycle, it never continues. When you repair the heating-system problem, the "cycle problem" is fixed too.


Timer Timers don't often fail. But if every other part of the dishwasher seems to be working properly and the timer knob seems to be stuck in one place--doing one function continuously--the timer may be at fault. Dishwasher timers can't be repaired. If yours is defective, replace it.

SOURCE: My Kitchen Aid dishwasher runs for about 2 hours. Is this normal

Kitchen Aid KUDI02FRSS2 - I have the same problem and called Kitchen Aid (Whirlpool). They originally told me the control panel needed to self-program and that I needed to let it run through one complete cycle before it would lock in the program. When this didn't work they told me the unit has water temperature sensors in it that controls the length of wash depending on the incoming water temperature. When I told them the house water temperature was borderline scalding they said they could send a repair tech out for $75 just to come to the house. I told them to forget it and could buy the control panel for $80 bucks and install it myself for free. I had a previous K/A dishwasher that ran for 30 years without a problem. This one was a problem from day one. Never again - Whirlpool or K/A

SOURCE: KitchenAid KUDP01DLBS2 dishwasher. Runs for a very

Sounds like the heater inside the dishwasher is not working. The machine is trying to get the water up to a preset temperature, probably in the neighborhood of 140 degrees. That is one of the things that it is sensing.

After the machine fills, open it up and take a water temperature reading. After it runs for 10 minutes or so with the water heating light on, but before it drains, open it up again and take another temp reading. If the second temperature is at or below the first temp, the heater is not working. Could be a burned out element, faulty wiring, or bad controller.

Check inside the machine (remove the panel below the door) for a wiring diagram. If there is one there it will give the resistance value for the heater element as well as the wire colors, the circuit diagram, and the cycle times.

The dishwasher seems to be cycling - but I no longer get the flush into my disposal and I don't hear much water circulating inside the machine. Also, the soap doesn't all diappear. Any suggestions?

The high pressure water pump is defective and is not spraying the much required jets of water to the dishes.
This is the reason that your dishes are also not cleaned.
You might have to remove and check if the pump is faulty or a cleaning job can rectify the issue.

We use the Cascade tablets but they don't dissolve

Either:

1. the water does not get into the dishwasher open the dishwasher 3-4 times during cycle, you should see some water at least once, if not - check water valve, water level float and water pressure.
2. the pump is clogged - there is water, the motor will run but no water is circulated. Check pump filters, check chopper and impeller.
3. motor in main pump is not working - could be caused by something stuck on the impeller or chopper or could be a problem with the motor itself or control board. Check if line voltage is coming to the motor during wash/rinse cycle.

Good luck,
