I've have multiple issues with my 5.5 year old KDTE704DSS0.
Sadly we had an older model to this dishwasher previously and is was so great that when we "upgraded" from the builders spec to this one for quite a bit of $$$.
Fixes to date:
.
CURRENT SYMPTOM: The dishwasher starts and after 5 minutes it shuts off. The front panel goes black, no noises are made, dishes are wet inside, bottom is full of water.
OTHER SYMPTOM: Initially after running a cycle, I was able to manually run the Drain Cycle and it would drain (I could hear the drain pump). Now when I try to manually run the Drain Cycle, it makes a short mechanical (pump?) noise followed by a pause, then repeats this two more times and then goes quiet.
DIAGNOSTIC CYCLE CODES:
Beginning of test: 8-4, 8-1, 6-4
End of test: 8-4, 8-1
Have also seen: 7-1, 6-2 as well (after trying to clear the code with the Hi-temp button, but I don't fully trust that I did it right since the buttons are hidden under the counter top and I have to open the door to get to them).
8-4: Drain motor electrical problem
8-1: Slow drain
6-4: Float switch open
7-1: No heat
6-2: Fill Valve electrical problem
My guesses so far:

Fixes to date:
- Change the control panel (display had some dead parts - warranty)
- Reconnect and seal the vent tube (was installed incorrectly from the factory and was leaking (twice) - warranty)
- Replaced all the metal roller slides (plastic guides corroded and the bearings fell out - half warranty, half myself)
- Rack Adjuster replaced (failed to lock - myself)
- Pump Tub Gasket (was leaking near the middle/back - myself)

My guesses so far:
- hose plugged/partially plugged (I was initially able to drain it a few times, so not sure about this, how to test for partial blockage?)
- drain pump intermittent failure (how can I test it independently of the force Drain cycle?)
- main control board faulty.
