Default KUDS01DJ Wont Start

I replaced the door handle and handle springs on my dishwasher and when I started the dishwasher it cycled for 2 minutes and then humms. Reopened
the panel and checked all the leads and everything seems to be in place.
I kept the door open while pushing on the door switch and it did the same
things so it doesnt appear to be the lock or door switch. Like a boob...i
didnt cut the power to the unit while I repaired it...I tried turning the power
to the unit off for a few minutes to see if it would reset. I dont think there
is anything wrong with the motor/chopper/impeller because it was working
fine with the broken handle. Is there a reset cycle I need to do?

Did it fill with water at all? Put your hand on the water inlet valve while its humming to see if thats whats humming.

Did you turn your water supply off to your dishwasher?

The water fills and I can also have it jettisoned by pushing the lower button on the control panel when the humming starts. The humming appears to come from the motor/lower spray arm...ugh. I will try to check that for jams. Any advise would be appreciated...Thanks

I took the spray arm off, the cover, and the screen to the chopper. Pulled out a long chicken bone and put it all back together and it still humms...Going to try to take the chopper cover off and see if that is jammed....Any suggestions?

Took the chopper cover off and it appears to be fine. Chopper seems to be ok. Nothing jammed in it. Now what?

You may have more chicken bone lodged further down in the motor impeller, you'll likely need to pull the motor/impeller assembly out and check it.
