Easy repair, but didn't solve the problem.
The part arrived very quickly, and safely. It hasn't solved the problem (likely not the part's fault:) ) so I can't give all five stars. The video tutorial was very helpful too.

dishwasher quit halfway thru a wash cycle
first I noticed that the dishwasher wasn't making any noise. Then I saw that there were no lights on the control panel. I opened the door and found water dripping off everything... I closed the door and tried hitting every button I could see, nothing happened. I checked the breaker, it was ok, and since I did all the wiring myself, I knew that was ok too. So I pulled off the upper panel of the front door and got out the electrical schematic that came with the washer. first stop, the TCO, the thermal cutoff, it's like an inline fuse. I got 120 volts going in and nothing coming out. Did an ohm check and it was open. Found it locally and replaced it. Now I've power to the control panel but the washer still doesn't work because the micro switch in the handle is broken and that turns out to be the original problem... the stupid plastic handle broke the micro-switch which shorted the TCO...
I had no lights on the console. Found the internal fuse blown, as I was looking around noticed the door latch also broken so I replaced that as well. Items were easy to identify from the bom and repairs completed in about 15-20 minutes. Dishes all clean now.
Replaced the switch, that did not fix it, but a new circuit card did

Lights on control panel flash. Pushing cancel button does not work. Tried shutting off power to get unit to reset, but same result.
For model number KUDS301VWH3
Hello Jeff, thank you for your question. The first part I would recommend testing is the door switch. If the switch doesn't activate you won't be able to make any selections on the panel. The door switch is part number PS11745501. Here is a link that will show you how to test the door switch.
https://www.partselect.com/Dishwasher+test-door-switch+repair.htm
If the door switch is ok, the next step would be to test the bi metal fuse. Part number PS2360984. This part can be tested for continuity. If there is no continuity the part should be replaced. Also check the connection between the control panel and the board. If the previous information doesn't help, the issue would be with the control panel or electronic control board. I hope this helps!

The door latch fails mid-cycle every time i run it. I've replaced the latch and strike plate; that staved off the problem for 3 months. Then i replaced to the door balance link kit, which had no effect on the latch failure (it did solve the creak when opening the door!). Is replacing the door switch my next best option?
For model number KUDP02SRSS3
Hello Greg, thank you for your question. Yes, that would be the next step. It sounds like the door switch is faulty. I hope this helps!

Will not come on wash. Blue clean light is blinking. Will come on to drain when you push cancel. Wash lights will come on when pressed but will not come on to wash when start/resume is pressed. Start/resume light flashes 3 times when pressed. Continuity is good on heating element and high limit thermostat. I replaced fuse but did not help. Thanks
For model number KUDI02FRSS0
Hello Paul, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Door Switch. If defective it will not allow the Wash Cycle to start. Use your ohmmeter to test your switch for continuity. Begin by setting your ohmmeter to measure resistance at a scale of Rx1. Touch the metal tips of the test leads together and zero your ohmmeter by adjusting the thumbwheel in the front of the meter until the needle reads '0' on the scale. Touch one meter lead to the COM terminal and the other lead to the N.O. terminal. Do not push in on the actuator. Your meter should give a reading of infinity, meaning the circuit is open, and there is no continuity. Without moving the meter's leads, press down on the actuator until you hear a 'click'. With the 'click' of the actuator, the meter should produce a resistance reading of zero ohms. This means the circuit is closed and continuity is present.Keep the meter lead that is touching the COM terminal in place, but move the other meter lead from the N.O. terminal to the N.C. terminal. You should receive a reading of infinity when you push in on the switch's actuator. When the actuator is released, you should receive a resistance reading of zero ohms.
Now, set your ohmmeter to its highest resistance scale and touch one meter lead to the N.O. terminal and the other meter lead to the N.C. terminal. The resistance reading between these two leads should be infinite.
Finally, take a resistance reading from both the N.C. terminal and the N.O. terminal to any metal mounting hardware that is a part of the switch assembly. You should receive a normal reading of infinity. We hope this helps!

The dishwasher frequently stops between cycles and flashes start button until i open the door and re-close and hit the start button then it can happen as many as 2-3 times per load
Any advise would be awesome, I was thinking door switch
For model number WDF320PADS2
Hello Shawn, thank you for your question. One possible cause of your issue may be a faulty actuator PS11746083 or other parts of the locking mechanisms such as the door latch PS11751646 or the door strike PS11746800. Also, there is the possibility that the board may be failing PS11770251. We hope this helps.
Kitchen aid dishwasher will not operate. The "heavy duty" and "normal wash" blue lights blink but no other lights come on. Is there a reset setting or code? Any suggestions ? Thanks
For model number KUDS30IVBL4
Hi Gary, Thank you for the question. Sometimes the "Heavy Duty" and "Normal" lights will flash to indicate and error has been detected. You can reset the appliance by unpluging the dishwasher and wait two minutes and then return power to the machine. Open and close the dishwasher door firmly and select a new wash cycle, followed by Start. Hope this helps!
