KUDS30FXSS5 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Overview

Hi Joe, Thank you for your question. If the dishwasher is not shutting off, you may have a faulty heating element or there is an issue with the electronic control board and you will need to test the parts to see which one is causing the issue. For the element, you may test it with a multi-meter. To test the heating element, Begin by disconnecting your appliance from the power source. Locate your heating element, it will be found on the bottom of the tub and depending on your model, it may have a cover. If it does have a cover, remove it. Remove the lower access panel and disconnect wires attached to the heating element’s terminals that protrude through the base of the dishwasher. Set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting and touch the terminals with the probes. The reading of a functional heating element varies between models but will fall between zero and infinity, refer to your owner’s manual to determine what reading you should receive. If your reading is exactly zero or infinity, it is defective. If your heating element’s reading is outside the manufacturer’s recommended range, you will need a replacement heating element. You will need to do a visual inspection of the electronic control board. Check to see if it has signs of wear, damage or burn marks and if it shows any of these signs, you will need to replace it. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Lorna, thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend replacing the dishwasher adjuster kit, part number PS10064063, to fix the issue. This kit will help you adjust the height of the upper rack of your dishwasher. We hope this sorts out your problem!
