Dishwashers start but when it starts to wash it pump the water out then turn it off
Hello James, thank you for getting in touch. If your dishwasher fills with water and then pumps it out before stopping, common causes include a clogged filter or drain hose, a faulty drain pump. Make sure the filter is clean, and the drain hose is not blocked. If this does not help, replace the drain pump, part number PS11753379, to fix the issue. We hope this helps.
Water is on water is leaving the return hose when I turn on dish washer
Hi Peter, thank you for the question. Check the drain hose for any blockage first. If it is fine, the issue could be with the drain pump, part number PS11753379. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Good morning. I’ve got a kitchen aid dishwasher model number listed above. Washer is receiving power and board lights up. Checked drain and replaced water inlet actuator valve . Still no water. It starts up and attempts to run through the normal motions but no water. It’s not the source I have verified. The board mode indicator lights have been acting up a bit. Do you think I need a new board? Or any other part of the circuit? Appreciate the advice I just want to get some expert feedback before I commit to purchase. I’m handy I would just appreciate some advice on this one. Thank you
Hi Alan, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the overfill control switch, part number PS11750031, before replacing the control board. We hope that helps!

Replacement was pretty easy after figuring out how to unsnap/unlock the old pieces. Tools only used to do a little prying and poking, but really aren't needed. Everything either snaps or slides together. Piece of cake

Pulled dishwasher from under counter, attached link to spring, hooked spring back into frame/chassis, threaded link through pulleys, attached other end of link onto door, reinstalled dishwasher under counter. All's well. Note-I purchased an extra link anticipating that the other one will fail. They're cheap enough.

I took the broken basket adjuster off and then attached the new one. It wasn't too difficult, however some removal instructions and re-install instructions( or just a picture supplied) would have been helpful. This isn't an issue for a mechanically inclined person, but would be a challenge for someone that isn't. Thanks.
