sometimes. I have a Kitchenaid DW model KDPM604KPS). It was 2 years old in June. A couple of weeks ago we started intermittently getting error code E1F9 and the wash cycle would stop, I could cancel the cycle and hit the drain button and the DW would drain.
I disconnected the drain line from the house plumbing and ran a wash cycle into a bucket. It drained correctly. Thinking I had a plumbing problem I disassembled all of the under sink stuff looking for a clog. It was fine. I tried another wash cycle with the drain line feeding a buck and got the error code again.
I would like to inspect/clean the drain filter but I can't find it. I don't think that would be the problem since the one tiime it drained correctly there was a lot of flow. All the stuff I find on line show a cartridge type filter under the spray arm. My configuration is different. I can find no drain filter just a grate screen in the bottom of the tub.
Any ideas where to look next? Unfortunately I'm thinking control board or drain pump.
I suspect that after checking everything you did, I also agree it may be faulty control board. I doubt the pump is bad. It either works or it doesn't.
No brand has any reliability behind anymore.
The DW is a Kitchenaid KDPM604KPS0. I think the drain pump is working OK because it drains when I select "drain" on the control panel. It's pretty quiet bu I can hear the pump running when I select drain. Currently it gets part way through the wash cycle and then stops and I have to drain it from the control panel.
I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and make a service call.Unhappy
We have a Whirlpool wdf750saym3 dishwasher. About 2 days ago it stopped spraying water during the wash cycle. Here's what's I've observed:
[list]
[*]The bottom does fill with water
[*]At times that I would expect the spraying to start, I only hear a series of soft clicks
[*]The water drains into the disposal and is very clean
[*]Under the dishwasher, there is a white translucent ribbed tubed that I hear and feel carrying water
[*]Even with the water flowing, none comes from the rotating spray arms
[*]I have cleaned out the spray arms. They had very small bits of debris in them, which is now gone

Does this mean that the circulator motor is toast? If so, does it have a fuse or anything like that to look at before I attempt to replace it?
Thank you.Read More
Hello,
Wife does crazy over it so I just want to understand if it is normal or not.
We noticed that during hot times - outside temp is over 85 - we cannot use our electric stove because it doesn't want to heat up. It is OK next morning...
Is that normal? Can I contact our electric company to fix the issue? Is there a fix? What should I do?
Thanks much for the attention.
