SOURCE: Kitchenaid dishwasher will not turn on or drain
Float valve is jammed.
Look inside the machine on the floor will
be a small float valve. Looks like a small upside down cup. Lift it and
clear anything from underneath.
The valve is a safety feature
to stop the machine from over filling. If anything gets under the valve
it will jam open and stop the machine.
Not working?
Check for a clog internal or external.
Scoop
as much water our as you can. Open the cover on the floor of the
machine. Usually just turns and lifts out or snaps out some are screwed
in. Take your time and try not to force anything. Look for a clog
there.
Check for clog in the drain. The dishwasher will
connect to the drain under your sink and run either directly to the
drain or into your disposal unit. Remove open the connections and look
for a clog. Clear if necessary.
Not the clog?
Water is
pumped out by the machine via an internal pump located under the base.
If it fails the water will collect until it trips the float valve.
First scoop out all the water from the machine and run it again. If
water comes in and it runs to the point it fills again and trips the
float then either the pump or timer is faulty.
Pump check.
Remove
the machine. It will be held in place by screws directly into the
counter top. You may have to lower it to get it out. The front feet
turn with a wrench to lower.
Turn off the water supply. Run the unit again until you get to the drain cycle.
Connect
a test light or voltage tester to the terminals at the pump. Check for
voltage at the pump. If you have voltage replace the pump. If no
voltage the timer is faulty.
Timer problem?
Some can be replaced as a unit others are integral to the control panel. Turn style can be replaced. Touch control can not.

Hi,
SOURCE: KitchenAid Dishwasher won't drain KUDI01ILBL6
Do you have an air gap on your sink? Check it to see if its plugged.
Hi
Dishwasher not
draining issue usually occurs due to kinked drain pipe, clogged drain filter or
drain pump. Check the drain hose for any visible clogging, remove if present.
If no visible lint is present then remove then turn off the dishwasher and remove
the drain hose and check for any visible clogging. If still not visible then
the drain filter or drain pump is clogged and you'll need to clean the drain
filter and drain pump. Also, check for any food pieces stuck near the pump
impeller.
Please note that
dishwashers don't drain out the complete water such that heating element
doesn't overheat.
Hope this helps...
Please post back for any further assistance.
