Thread: Kitchenaid Superba Dishwasher Model KUDS01FLBT1 will not start

Hi Jenn,

We had a member with a similar problem and it was the ribbon cable that was bad and causing this. Here's that thread:
KitchenAid KUDP01FLSS3

Here's the ribbon cable for your model in case you need to order it:
Manufacturer's Number: 8524447



If you need help accessing it just let me know.

Hi:
I definitely need help accessing this. Could you walk me through the process?
Jenn

Sure Jenn,

Make sure you turn the breaker, in your home breaker box, off first to your dishwasher.

Then remove the screws from your console, they are located inside the door on the top, should be about 4-6 screws. On some models you have to remove the outer door panel as well, you will see the screws all around the inside door for your outer door panel.

Once the console is open you can get to the ribbon cable.

Jake

Thanks Jake. Once the part arrives I'll let you know what happens.

Ok, sounds good Jenn.

Jake

Jake:
OK...I am ready to install new ribbon thing. How do I get the control board(?) thing out so I can install new ribbon. I see where it gets connected but it runs out of the green board under the control board and then into the control board. I know these aren't the right names but hopefully you can follow me. I feel like I am so close to getting it but I don't want to snap off any of the plastic things holding everything in place.

Jenn

You just need to unsnap the ribbon connector from the control board and the control panel user interface, then pull the ribbon cable out, and install the new ribbon cable.

Jake

Guess what? I did it! And the dishwasher is totally fixed. Hurrah. Many, many thanks for your help!

Excellent Jenn, good job fixing it.
