Model Number: KUDP02CRBL1
Brand: KitchenAid
Age: 6-10 years
My Kitchenaid KUDP02CRBL1 dishwasher was running full cycles, but not cleaning anything. Thinking the circulation pump was at fault, I replaced that ($98). While reassembling the dishwasher, noticed that the control panel ribbon was no longer attached to the inside of the overlay panel, so I replaced that part ($73). Put the dishwasher back into place and got it operating again, but when I opened it during the wash cycle to see if the water was spraying anywhere inside, there was no evidence of that. I now see that the inner door seal is frayed near the bottom end and I wonder if a breach in the seal is enough to keep the machine from going into wash mode to protect from leaks. Is that a possibility or was my new pump faulty? I am getting pressure from the human dishwasher in the family to just buy a new machine, but I am feeling less than satisfied with that plan. I feel like this should be solvable, but maybe I am in over my head. Any thoughts?
