What does the motor and diverter do in the service diagnostic cycle? Listen for the cam clicking in intervals 15 and 14 of the test cycle.

I can see diverter shaft rotating with clicking sound.

There is humming sound too from somewhere I assume from motor ???

Wait, stop the presses! I just noticed this model has the problematic door vent, that can also cause this problem you are having.

Do this first--->Disconnect all the wire connectors to your door vent and see if it runs through a complete cycle.

Start reading what bigbuck said at post#18 here:

FIXED - KUDE60HXSS5 KitchenAid Dishwasher Fills but then Shuts off

So after successfully running the one hour cycle with the vent wire harness disconnected, I ran the ProWash/ProDry cycle with the vent harness disconnected with 100% success.

Your model uses the exact same door vent. If it runs through a complete cycle and everything is back to normal, then order and replace the door vent assembly.

Here it is for your model you can order:
WPW10469574 Vent


To access the vent assembly you will need a T-15 torx screwdriver: Remove 4 screws (long) across top of door, then remove 10 screws (short) on the sides, then the outer door panel pulls off.

Let us know what you find.

After the fill cycle check if the wash motor is getting 120 VAC.

Yes 124.6

OK so the motor is getting 120V and it's not running. Here's the part you need:

Thanks Rick.
so I guess it has nothing to do with code 9-1 diverter issue?

 

[rickgburton]

Good question. My answer is, I don't know.
