The most common reason for this to happen is that the heating element or thermal probe has gone out. If you are comfortable, I have included a guide on how to check this.
Tools:
Digital Multimeter
Steps:
- Be sure breaker is turned off and there is absolutely no power to the dishwasher.
- Find your heating element (usually near the bottom)
- Turn your Meter to read Ohms
- Measure both sides of the heating element.
- This should read in the ballpark of 10-50 ohms. If it does not, then the element needs to be replaced.
Another issue that it could be is a bad thermal probe.
Steps:
- Locate your thermal probe. This is different in each appliance. I attached a photo of what the usually look like.
- With your meter in Ohms, read the resistance of the thermal device
- This one is more difficult to know if it is good or bad. I would need the exact part number as that will determine what you should see on your test.
- Usually, KitchenAid reads around 6K Ohms. As long as you have a reading near this, I think you'll be fine.
- Anything over 10k Ohms and anything under 5K Ohms, I would suggest replacing it.
Let me know if you get a chance to test them! If you would like to send pictures, you can do it through here!
I cleaned the reservoir at the base ,
The clean light still flashes every 7 times with a 2 second pause.
I also shut the breaker waited 1 minute , put the breaker back on then pressed Hi temp scrub while Alternate pressing the energy saver dry button back and forth 5 times to see if this resets . No luck!
Appliance won't start when I press start
If I press normal then Start the normal light flashes but still won't start.
I can send you a picture of this control board and text or e mail to you.
But you can tell me what the address to send this board for repair plus the cost to repair this board
