We purchased our home a few months ago and have had issues with our Kitchenaid KUDS40CVSS3 dishwasher since our first use. The first time we used it, the cycle stopped and had no lights, no response to the control panel, nothing. I flipped the circuit breaker, waited a while (probably an hour), reset the breaker, and still nothing.
I ordered and replaced the thermal fuse and everything seemed to be good. I hit the cancel button and the dishwasher drained the water that still remained. I started a new cycle, seemed to be working fine, came back 30 minutes later, and noticed it had stopped with a flashing start/resume button, the normal wash button still lit, and the heat dry button lit.
Thought it odd, but pressed the start/resume button and it started running again. 10 minutes later, it stopped again with no lights, then the same three lights came back on with the flashing start/resume. Pressing the cancel button drains the dishwasher for approximately 2 minutes, then all lights are off. Opening the door at this point reveals plenty of steam, an open soap door, and wet dishes.
Doing the Heat Dry-Normal-Heat Dry-Normal diagnostics reveals nothing. The diagnostics run for approximately 20 minutes, stops, then all lights go off.
The wife is ready to have a functioning dishwasher, so any and all help is appreciated!!!
